Gallows and Anderson are here! The OC is back and they're taking out !!! It's no surprise that we're kicking off the list with the muscle of The OC. Luke Gallows' first run with WWE started with a very strange storyline revolving around in the mid-2000s. In 2006, Kane starred in his own movie, See No Evil, and began to explode in a monstrous rage every time he heard the date May 19th. Eventually, Kane was greeted by his evil double. Much like his kayfabe brother The Undertaker, The Big Red Machine was now haunted by his past self. After beating Kane at Vengeance 2006 and getting unmasked on a later RAW, Gallows returned as Festus for the short-lived tag team of Jesse and Festus. Fans enjoyed the team, but being a giant that only responded to a ringing bell could only get him so far. Eventually he aligned with , joining the Straight Edge Society and claiming Festus was part of his alcohol problem that Punk was trying to fix. After the group disbanded in 2010, Gallows was released. He would return in 2016 with his longtime tag partner Karl Anderson, bringing a bit of the Bullet Club to the company. In four years, The OC captured two RAW Tag Team Championships and earned the Tag Team World Cup in 2019. After joining with AJ Styles and a handful of times, The OC would be released in 2020 on Black Wednesday when a large number of wrestlers and employees were released during the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, Luke Gallows is back for his third run with the company. We've yet to see what's in store for the duo as far as championship gold is concerned, but The OC has realigned themselves with AJ Styles for a feud with Finn Balor and Judgment Day.

'TEAM XTREME IS BACK!’Hardy Boyz making their return at WrestleMania 33 was WILD(via ) and both made the list, but since they're a tag team, we'll just pile them onto one spot. The legendary brothers both debuted in the company way back in 1994 as enhancement talent. By 1998, the Hardy Boys were signed full-time and picked up a feud with Edge and Christian. After capturing championship gold multiple times, the duo split in 2002. Jeff's first run with the company ended in 2003, and he'd go on to wrestle in the indies and TNA Wrestling. Matt's first departure was a sudden and shocking move in 2005 when his private issues with Lita and Edge became public knowledge. While he was released in April, he'd been brought back by July to begin feuding with Edge. Jeff would return a few years later in 2006, reuniting with his brother for another successful run in the tag division. After another split, both men would go on to be successful singles stars. Jeff would earn the Intercontinental and WWE Titles in his second stint while Matt captured the US and ECW Titles. By 2010, both brothers were gone from the company again, wrestling in ROH, TNA, and various indie promotions. They'd make their second return at WrestleMania 33 in a four-way RAW Tag Team Championship Ladder Match in what was considered one of the greatest Mania moments of all time by many fans. The Hardy Boys strengthened their legacy with more titles and accolades before both would eventually depart in 2020 (Matt) and 2022 (Jeff). Both are now in All Elite Wrestling. When it comes to brothers who were able to reach the top of both tag team and singles divisions in multiple major companies, no other team comes close to The Hardy Boys.
Thank you @wwe universe Fantastic reception for Fantastic reception for Hall of fame tonight. Thank you @wwe universe One of the most exciting wrestlers to grace the mat, Rob Van Dam received a well-earned WWE Hall of Fame ring in 2022 after his 2021 induction was delayed due to Covid-19. Since his time in ECW in the late 90s, Rob Van Dam has been one of the most unique competitors to ever grace the squared circle. His innovative offense and arrogant yet laid-back personality earned the love of fans around the world. So it's no surprise that he was a major player in WWE for several years. His first run with the company started with the Invasion in 2001 and lasted all the way to 2007. During that time, he became a grand slam champion, most notably defeating for the WWE Championship at One Night Stand 2006 by cashing in his Money in the Bank Briefcase. He left in 2007, claiming to be burnt out by business and travel. He'd head to TNA Wrestling for a few years while also working the indies, capturing the TNA World Title during his time. He returned to the company in 2013, challenging for several titles before leaving again in 2014. After another stint in the indies and IMPACT Wrestling, he returned in 2019. He'd soon be announced as an inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2021.
5 WWE Superstars who have returned twice or more
Luke Gallows isn't the only WWE Superstar to have returned multiple times this month, which placed on a unique list. The Big LG is currently in his third run with the company. He's not the only competitor to pull this off. The wrestling business is all about the eyes you can bring and the dollars they spend. Sometimes, it takes some talent a few tries before they hit their money-making gimmicks. Others enjoy taking breaks from the constant pace of a Superstar. No matter the reason, WWE has an ever-revolving door that many a Superstar will enter and leave many times before their careers have ended. Today we'll take a look at some of the WWE Superstars who have signed with the company several times over.#5 WWE RAW Superstar Luke Gallows
