The former governor of Minnesota, who had a major falling out with Vince McMahon and WWE in the past, disappeared from the pro wrestling business in the '90s and began a career in politics. He later returned during the Attitude Era and was then inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He famously returned to the commentary table alongside Vince McMahon in 2009, which was his last appearance in WWE before this week's backstage appearance on "Raw."
Ventura had revealed earlier this year that he was having discussions with WWE, expressing that the new direction that WWE is going towards convinced him about talking with the promotion again.
