WWE fans think Sean Waltman could be primed for an in-ring comeback after his latest eyepopping display.

The 52-year-old superstar, best known to fans as X-Pac from his time with D-Generation X in the Attitude Era, has shared an absolutely ripped selfie on X and fans are going wild for the Hall of Famer.

‘I was just reading a message on my phone after my workout & accidentally snapped this pic of myself. Also, I just happened to have no shirt on,’ he quipped.

Waltman, who also wrestled as the 1-2-3 Kid and Syxx during his illustrious career, since a loss to Joey Janela in GCW in March 2022, while his most recent WWE match way back in the summer of 2002.

‘If I don’t see you give a bronco buster to someone on WWE television in the next year, the world is a cruel place,’ tweeted @TravisTAckett16, referencing his signature move.

‘I smell a royal rumble appearance 👀,’ wrote @Sdot5801 ahead of February’s iconic event, while @TheFabulousMs1 said: ‘We need another match from you🤘🏼’

Fans pointed out that Waltman is ‘in the best shape of his life’, with some of his fellow wrestlers in awe of the photo he shared.

‘You look incredible,’ wrote WWE veteran Natalya, and TNA Wrestling’s Mike Santana simply replied: ‘YAAAAACKED’.

Fans will actually get a glimpse of X-Pac on WWE television next week, after he revealed he will be in attendance for Tuesday’s episode of NXT.

In a message to former D-X teammate and current NXT boss Shawn Michaels, he tweeted: ‘Hey @ShawnMichaels, Next week’s nXt show looks too good to miss. I’m coming to Orlando to watch it live!’

Fans are hoping the appearance could lead to the former tag team, Cruiserweight, European and Lightheavyweight Champion lacing up his boots in a WWE ring for the first time in over two decades.

‘Damn @TheRealXPac looking jacked and ready! Will we see you in NXT showing these young pups how to do it? @TripleH @ShawnMichaels,’ teased @Tyden007.

And @JasonHodge80 pleaded: ‘Don’t just come to @WWENXT you need to get in the damn ring in that kind of shape…..been a fan since Global man I’d love to see you step back in even if it’s just one last time.’

Waltman is a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, first going in as a member of D-X in 2019, before being inducted alongside the nWo the following year.

He hasn’t wrestled on WWE TV since an episode of Raw in July 2002, when he teamed with The Big Show, Kevin Nash, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero in a win over Booker T, Goldust, Rob Van Dam, Bubba Ray Dudley and Spike Dudley.

He was meant to be part of the men’s Royal Rumble in 2022 but the plans fell through.

Hes been vocal about still being in shape of a return, even if it’s more likely to be a multi-man match rather than an extended run.

‘Oh yeah, most definitely. Yeah, I’ve been training, feeling good. I’m not saying another run or anything like that,’ he told Insight with Chris Van Vliet.

‘But if I needed to be in a match, like a six-man or something like that, I could kill it. I could do all the stuff I used to do.’

NXT airs Tuesday nights at 1am on the WWE Network. From January 2025, all WWE content will be moving to Netflix for fans in the UK.
