WWE House Show Results (2/23): Istanbul, Turkey; Laurinaitis Returns

Apparantly this happened, he could well be back on our screens soon, but as what?

Alliance with Taker for WM?

Can't see that happening. Johnny Ace isn't a big enough name to come back straight away as a face. And they couldn't turn Taker heel if they wanted to.

Still don't know why they got rid of him, he was far more credible in the GM role than anyone since, not that they've used any form of imagination on that front, I'm guessing he was advertised for this for around a year now and is just fulfilling his obligations

I really hope he comes back. He was brilliant as a GM and one of my favs.

Im well and truly on Team Johnny!

They may bring him back as the guy behind the shield claiming it was an injustice when he got fired

Great shout actually... hadn't thought of that.

I'd hate that. I don't want anyone to be 'behind' The Shield. I think they'd lose credibility and legitimacy if Laurinaitis was aligned with them.

I'd rip up my Dean Ambrose calendar if they went with that angle.

Not really sure of another way of legitimising a Laurinaitis return if he is to return. Usually when a faction get this sort of push though someone is behind them

Team Laurinaitis vs Team Booker T at Mania, anyone?

As long as Johnny wheres his suit from last years Mania.

Maybe they could build a streak like Undertakers with him winning 5 on 5 tag matches every year.

Maybe he could come in and facilitate Teddy's heel turn on Book

They could call themselves 'Playa Power'

Wasn't Laurinaitis a big part of WWE's lawsuit with TNA? Thought they decided it was best for him not to be involved on TV while he was required for the case...

I've got no idea about what lawsuit you're talking about mate, I stopped watching Wrestling for 5 months last year and haven't read a dirt in about 18 months so have no idea to be honest

Yeah basically WWE were sued by TNA because they hired an ex-TNA guy who apparently told them when all of TNA's guys contracts were expiring, while Laurinaitis was still in an executive position, including Ric Flair's. Incidentally that lawsuit has now been dropped.
