In a recent interview with Comicbook, Hornswoggle revealed he was set to make a return to WWE during the cinematic match between then Raw Tag Team Champions The Street Profits and The Viking Raiders, but his role in the match was nixed due to time constraints.

"No one knows this because it never aired, but I was flown to the Performance Center to film a segment on Backlash during the Street Profit and Viking Raiders match that just never made it to air.

It’s just we just never got to film it because we ran out of time and the weather was not in our favor. It just started sideways raining out, so we didn’t get to shoot any of that segment."
