Does the New WWE T-Shirt on Sale Hint at the Return of a Former UFC Fighter?

With WWE and UFC coming under one banner to form a new company, combat wrestling fans are hopeful that the final product for them will improve. Something similar is happening now. With news of UFC legends being a part of the new WWE game around, a new T-shirt sale has gotten Attitude Era fans excited about the prospects of a former UFC fighter returning to WWE in a new manner.

Is this former UFC and WWE Champion returning to WWE in a new avatar?

WWE Shop features a new collection of T-shirts from “The World’s Most Dangerous Man “Ken Shamrock. The shirts available are in black, white, and grey color, with a picture of former UFC fighter Ken Shamrock in boxing gloves.

Popular wrestling publication PWInsider speculated that the former UFC Champion Shamrock may have signed a Legends deal, although that’s not been confirmed. The site also stated that such merchandise is often released when wrestlers from past eras are about to get into a Hall of Fame nomination or have agreed to be a part of a video game.

Fans from the Attitude Era will remember Ken Shamrock due to his stint in WWE. He performed for WWE under the same ring name from 1997 to 1998.

During his WWE days, he fought against Bret Hart, The Rock, and Shawn Michaels. He even held the Intercontinental Championship once before losing it to The Rock. The move by WWE to release Ken Shamrock’s T-shirts may also be a result of their merger.

Some time back, Shamrock had this to say!

Last year, Ken Shamrock was interviewed by the YouTube channel Cafe de Rene and asked about a possible return to the WWE. However, at that time, Shamrock didn’t have very positive news to share. When asked if the WWE had reached out to him, he had said, ” It’s been pretty much dead silence; I never reached out, so it’s not their fault. I’ve never gone back and put my name in, to come back. So it’s not like it’s something I went after because I didn’t. If I don’t make the effort, why should they.” 

However, in another interview with Ten Count Media, he had shown interest in a comeback to WWE. He had said that if the story and the situation made sense, he could explore that possibility. Looks like we will have to wait and watch.

Do you think Ken Shamrock will make a comeback to the WWE? Would you be excited to see Ken Shamrock back in WWE? What’s your favorite memory of Ken Shamrock?
