10 WWE Comebacks You Don't Remember
Not every WWE comeback is memorable
8. The Spirit Squad - 2016
The Spirit Squad were never ‘good’ or anything, but they did provide some value and entertainment when going up against the likes of DX in 2006.
It also gave five OVW hopefuls some valuable experience though, unfortunately, only Dolph Ziggler really stuck around and became anything on the back of it.
While Johnny and Mitch both moved on from the business, WWE brought back Kenny and Mikey in 2016 for a short programme with the former Nicky.
Working in cahoots with Intercontinental Champion The Miz and his wife Maryse, the tag team version of the Spirit Squad attacked the Show-Off, tried to cost him a big pay-per-view match and also worked tag and six-man tags on SmackDown.
All told, they were only there for a couple of months before they disappeared once again.
It was reported that they were signed to deals but they never came back, with Kenny and Mikey resurfacing in Major League Wrestling a couple of years later.
There was clearly no long-term upside to reviving the annoying cheerleader gimmick but their re-emergence, coupled with the re-emergence of other past stars like Rhyno and the Headbangers, sure did make the blue brand a slightly odd place for a time.
