Teddy Long has worn many hats for the WWE. He has been a manager, referee and the General Manager of Smackdown! He made his surprise return on RAW during the opening segment asking for his old job back with the news of the upcoming WWE Brand Split. It is unclear if this was just a one-off appearance or he will be sticking around for a bit!
Here was Twitter’s reaction to the return of Teddy Long on RAW:
@InnerN3rd it was random

@InnerN3rd I liked SD! over Raw bcoz of Eddie & Taker, so Ive always been invested in Teddy. When Raw had heel GM’s, Teddy was good relief

@InnerN3rd Guess this will lead to other former GMs returning, like Vickie… Is the end game possibly Kurt Angle return as SD GM?

@InnerN3rd PLAYA… PLAYA… They should bring in all old GM’s and some new people all trying to get the Smackdown job

@InnerN3rd it was surprising and I was hyped for it singing along to his entrance but it got ru8ned by him stumbling over words & Stephanie

@InnerN3rd Love his music & got good pop. Possibly, Eric Bischoff, John Laurinaitis or Vickie Guerrero cameos tonight/down the road?

@InnerN3rd that was just weird

Some users have brought up a good point. Is the WWE going to bring back past GM’s every week until the WWE Brand Split? Would be a fun thing for them to add to have them all come and lobby for the job of GM like Teddy did!

I had no idea who that guy was.
