Yep. He and KO will be both be in it I think. Also even if he isn't quite ring ready yet, nothing about him returning says he has to immediately wrestle. He could come back on air and cut promos and be involved in segments with lighter bumps to build a feud and not actually wrestle for 4-6 weeks after the return.

Regardless, I don't think you can treat anything wrestlers say on social media or these podcasts as reality any more. Social media is such an integral part of society now and it's importance has clearly not gone unnoticed by WWE. It's likely that 90% of what they are saying online is worked at this point. But this trend honestly has potential. Most people aren't going to sit there and think about it in these terms; I imagine most people will initially think these things wrestlers are saying online are real and might be in conflict with the company. WWE and other feds can play off those feelings and bring back some element of one of the most important aspects of wrestling, something they lost a LONG time ago....suspension of disbelief.
