Mr. Perfect's son Curtis Axel still open to WWE return, four years after his last in-ring appearance

Former WWE superstar Curtis Hennig, who wrestled under the ring names Curtis Axel, Joe Hennig, and Michael McGillicutty, has hinted at a comeback, but not as a performer. Axel, last seen in the WWE in February 2020 when he lost to Daniel Bryan on SmackDown, said he is still open to a WWE backstage role.

Curtis Axel eyes WWE comeback

¡°That¡¯s something that¡¯s still on the table. I could go back there and do that and help out. I really like coaching the next up-and-comers. It¡¯s very rewarding to give my insight to them and have these different ideas that we can collaborate on to make the match even better. I really enjoyed that part and just being a part of the creative side,¡± Axel told the Going Ringside podcast.

Third-generation wrestler

The 45-year-old, who was signed by WWE in 2008, was part of FCW and NXT before his main roster call-up in 2013. Unlike his illustrious father, ¡°Mr. Perfect¡± Curt Hennig, and grandfather, Larry ¡°The Axe¡± Hennig, Axel failed to break out as a main-eventer, and his most notable achievement was winning the Intercontinental Championship.

Backstage roel for three months

In 2020, Axel was among the several names released by WWE during the COVID-19 pandemic. He, however, made a brief return to WWE in 2022, where he worked as a producer.

Earlier this month, Axel had claimed that his three-month stint as a producer ended at a time when WWE was embroiled in the hush money scandal involving Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis.
