And now, former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">WWE<\/a> star Cherry has said that she would love to return for an appearance.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"template__newsletter-inline-banner-form-combo-widget\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<p><img id=\"subscribe-img\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>During the Ruthless Aggression, Cherry arrived in WWE in 2007 as manager for the Deuce and Domino duo on SmackDown. The team saw success as they captured the Tag Team Championship, and Cherry later became a part of the Divas division.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>She had a short feud with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/natalya\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Natalya<\/a> and Maryse before her release in 2008. Since then, Cherry hasn&#8217;t shown up for the sports entertainment giant. Recently, in an appearance on the <em>Rewind, Recap Relive<\/em>, she was asked whether fans would see her make a surprise appearance in the Women&#8217;s Royal Rumble someday.<\/p>\n<p>The 51-year-old star said she would love that but admitted that since her stay in the promotion wasn&#8217;t long, it makes it harder for her to return.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em> &#8220;I would love that. I don\u2019t know. I wasn\u2019t there that long. So I think that works against me, and then now that there\u2019s NXT and all of these people and veterans, it makes it harder for someone like me. I mean, I would love it. I\u2019m open to it, and I think that they\u2019re shooting more for keeping the contracted talent on the Rumbles now,&#8221; she said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Cherry said there was a chance of it happening when the Women&#8217;s Royal Rumble was first introduced, but now they have certain names signed up for it. Still, she said she would be open to a return if asked.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I mean, it was a little bit more of an opportunity when they first brought the Rumble in for the women, but now they have so many people signed that they&#8217;re using who they\u2019re contracted for. I hate to say that, but I wasn\u2019t really there that long, even though I feel like we had a memorable team. It would be great. I\u2019m open to it,&#8221; she added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"sportskeeda-embed\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/wwe\/embed\">\n<div class=\"yt-wrapper\">                    <noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cherry: Deuce &#039;n Domino, Epic Theme Song, Crazy Ric Flair &amp; Batista Moment, Slapping Maryse, Natalya\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p7vFysAmm-U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>                    <\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube\" data-embed=\"p7vFysAmm-U\">\n<div class=\"play-button\"><img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/p7vFysAmm-U\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/p7vFysAmm-U\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Many stars have returned to WWE in recent years<\/h2>\n<p>Cherry will hope to follow the example of the likes of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/aj-lee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\"> AJ Lee<\/a>, Brie Bella, and Paige when it comes to making a return to WWE.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, AJ Lee returned to the promotion after being away for more than a decade.
