WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg returned to the Stamford-based company earlier this month to set up his retirement match. After Da Man, another popular name is reportedly set to make a comeback.

According to a recent report from Fightful Select, Vickie Guerrero is expected to make an appearance on WWE programming in a few weeks. The 57-year-old reportedly informed several people that she would be back with the wrestling promotion for some program.

Although no further details were mentioned, the veteran could be roped in for the Evolution Premium Live Event, slated for next month.

Vickie Guerrero was a popular name in WWE in the 2000s and early 2010s. She managed several stars and wrestled in a bunch of matches before departing from the wrestling promotion in 2014. However, she made several sporadic appearances and even participated in the first Women's Royal Rumble Match in 2018.

Former WWE Champion opens up about scrapped plans for Vickie Guerrero to win a title

LayCool won the WWE Women's Title by defeating Beth Phoenix in a two-on-one handicap match. However, Layla recently shared an interesting backstage story about the championship bout.

During her appearance on the Developmentally Speaking podcast, the 48-year-old pointed out that initially Vickie Guerrero was supposed to dethrone The Glamazon. Layla believes WWE veteran Finlay pushed for her to win the gold. The former Divas Champion further detailed how she couldn't believe it when she was told about the change in plans.

"If you watch when I won the actual Women's Championship, it was in Beth Phoenix's hometown. It was against her. It was a handicap match. Initially, it was supposed to be Vickie Guerrero winning the title. It wasn't supposed to go to me at all. But because I was on live events all the time, I believe Fit Finlay pushed for me and coached me to get the gold. So, when he told me, he was like, 'Hey, you're winning the title tonight.' I was like, 'Okay.' The whole day, just like, 'Okay.' And he's like, 'No, for real.' And I just did not believe him. I'm waiting the whole time. I'm waiting even when we go out from Gorilla. I'm waiting in the match for someone to go, 'Layla, don't fall out [of] the ring.' Like, you know what I mean? I'm just waiting. And it just, I won" she said.
