Mike Tyson Teases Potential WWE Return

WWE is finally creeping back into the mainstream. The formation of TKO and the acquisition by Endeavor have dramatically helped repair the brand's mainstream perception. Triple H-led creative isn't perfect, but his leadership has helped reinvigorate weekly programming.

The roster has never been more loaded, and intriguing feuds and angles lead to consistently excellent EPLs. With the product being molten hot and WrestleMania 41 rapidly approaching, it should be no surprise that some massive names want in on the action, including the most prominent boxer of his generation.

In a recent interview with Bleacher Report's Doric Sam, Mike Tyson teased a potential return to WWE. "Oh God, I would love to do that; that's me at my childhood best; I had a great time," Tyson said. When asked if there were any wrestlers he wanted to work with in particular, he replied, "Shoot, all of them, let's get a Battle Royal."

After Tyson and Jake Paul's boxing match nearly crashed Netflix's live server in November, there were immediate rumors that WWE could be interested in a Tyson reunion.

The 58-year-old was all over television in 1998, culminating in helping Stone Cold Steve Austin win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 14. Tyson's last time in the squared circle was on Raw in 2010, turning on his tag partner Chris Jericho and nailing him with a massive right before aligning with DX.

It'd be unclear what Tyson would do, but some sort of angle with Logan Paul could be comedic gold. If done properly, this could be a box office move to legitimize WWE's new golden era.
