The wrestling world has been abuzz with rumors of potential returns and new opportunities for a number of veteran stars, and the latest name to join the conversation is none other than David Otunga. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion has been out of the ring for several years, but according to sources close to the matter, Otunga has not ruled out a potential return to the world of professional wrestling.
A Managerial Role Could Be the Ticket
When asked about a potential return to the WWE, Otunga seemed to lean towards a managerial role, citing his extensive experience in the business as a key factor in his decision. “I think if I were to come back, I’d want to do something that plays to my strengths,” Otunga said in an interview. “I’ve had a lot of experience working behind the scenes, whether it’s as a talent or as a producer. I think I could bring a lot of value to a company as a manager, whether it’s on the main roster or in NXT.”
AEW and NXT: Two Possible Destinations
While Otunga has ties to the WWE, he has not ruled out the possibility of working for a competitor. In fact, sources close to Cody Rhodes revealed that the AEW star has spoken highly of Otunga in the past, and the two have been in touch about potential collaborations. “Cody has always been a fan of David’s, and he’s told him as much on multiple occasions,” a source said. “If David were to come to AEW, I think Cody would be open to working with him in some capacity.”
Additionally, there has been speculation about Otunga potentially taking on a role in NXT, where his experience as a producer could be put to good use. “NXT is a great place for someone like David to come in and make an impact,” a WWE insider said. “He’s got a deep understanding of the WWE and its systems, and I think he could be a valuable asset to the company in a behind-the-scenes role.”
The Appeal of a Return to Pro Wrestling
So what’s driving Otunga’s interest in a potential return to pro wrestling? According to his own words, it’s a combination of factors. “I’ve had a lot of time off, and I’ve been able to recharge and refocus,” Otunga said. “I’ve also been able to see the wrestling business from a different perspective, and I think that’s given me a bit of a fresh perspective on things. I’m not just looking to come back and do the same thing I was doing 10 years ago – I’m looking to come back and contribute in a meaningful way.”
The Future is Uncertain, But One Thing is Clear
While the possibility of David Otunga’s return to pro wrestling is intriguing, it’s worth noting that nothing is set in stone at this point. Otunga himself has been coy about his plans, and a number of factors would need to come together before he could make a comeback. Still, one thing is clear: if David Otunga does decide to return to the world of professional wrestling, it will be a move worth watching.
In the meantime, fans will be eagerly awaiting any further developments on this story. Will David Otunga ultimately decide to return to the WWE, or will he opt for a different path? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: if he does come back, it will be with a renewed sense of purpose and a fresh perspective on the business.
