The Challenge

Contestants from all over the world income tax return toThe Challengeyear after yr , but so many fan favorite are deeply missed when they decide to stop competing . However , many have been eff to surprise everyone by participating again after supposedly leaving the show for good .

Some rival that have sworn off the series have more of a reason than any to return for Season 38 . Whether they still take to prove themselves or would just stir the pot , some of the veterans that claim to be out of commission would make the   forthcoming season the most exciting yet if they decide to compete again .

Leroy Garrett

Garrett announced in 2020 that he would not be return to the show afterDouble Agents . Having never been a champion before , he get along very close to winning his net time of year but ultimately come in third overall .

If Leroy deliver , it would give him a chance to redeem himself and eventually get that win he spent years working towards . It seems a shame that he gave up just when he almost make his finish . Since leavingThe Challenge , he   and fellow challenger Kam Williams   have announced   a pregnancy , suggest that he will not be return any clip soon .

Sarah Rice

Rice is a two - prison term champion that last appear onRivalsIIIin 2016 , which she won   with Johnny " Bananas " Devenanzio . Rice was   stabbed in the back in the final split decision when her partner decided to take the prize money all for himself .

It has n’t been very prospicient since her last visual aspect onThe Challenge , and the last - minute perfidy she suffered from Bananas leave fan itching to see   Rice take revenge . Bananas   has n’t been inThe Challengelately   either , but it would be larger-than-life to see them confront off in Season 38   and for   Sarah to in conclusion   get the payout that   she deserves .

Wes Bergmann

Bergmann is of thebest male players in the history ofThe Challenge , even if no one will admit it for fear of feed his self . He may not   be the most likeable of the group , but he   is certainly entertaining .

Wes   is believably one of the few competitors   that are more likely to successfully take out Chris " CT " Tamburello ,   currently on a winning stripe ,   than to assay to taunt his coattails to a concluding . Sadly , recent social media post have indicated that Wes has no plans to return toThe Challengeor any of its spinoffs in the foreseeable   futurity .

Theo Von

Although Theo has n’t compete in over a decennary , his sure-enough reputation as a two - timeChallengechamp and current life history as a endure - up comic   would make him an iconic molding option for Season 38 .

It would be so fun to see Theo interact with new   challengers like Devin Walker that joined the show after his retirement . He might be a bit rusty , but his telling competitive cart track record , as well as his success both on and off of the show , suggest that he might still have another win in him , even after all these years .

Jordan Wiseley

Jordan is a unnerving opponent , having been a finalist in his firstChallengeever before   winning three   of his six seasons .   He proposed to fellow competitor Tori Deal onWar of the Worlds 2but has not recall to the showsince their breakup   afterTotal Madness .

Wiseley subsequently   replied " Nope " when asked about potentially returning to the show in a now - deleted Tweet ( saved for posterity onStopBeingPolite ) , but his restoration would   be chaotic for both the physical rivalry and the emotional drama . His presence could   prove to be a fatal distraction for Deal , who has been competing rather well recently , and he could also pose a terror to CT .   These stress could top to dirty gameplay– the best form .

Kailah Casillas

Kailah is one of the strong female contender to have never wonThe Challenge .   Although never a booster , she   has scud up an impressive figure of day-after-day challenge and riddance wins and made it to the concluding ofVendettas .

Casillas is one of the few   veterans without a championship   title that truly has the potency to earn one .   But after beingkicked off ofFinal Reckoningfor a physical altercationand eliminate early intoTotal Madnessthe next year , it is no wonder that   she has pass up to charge her time to another   go at aChallengechampionship .

Brad Fiorenza

Fiorenza had a ten - time of year outpouring before calling it quits following 2018’sFinal Reckoning .   But he has still shown that he has what it require in his most recent appearance on the mainline show andAll Stars .

His abbreviated return to the show in 2017 after his divorce from fellowChallengestar Tori Hall was marked by his Modern vendetta with Kyle Christie . Kyle frequently appear onThe Challengenow and is hungry for a win , so it would be great to see their competition - turned - friendly relationship gambling out in the future .

Laurel Stucky

recognise for some of themost memorable moments inChallengehistory , in force and bad , Laurel is an   unquestioned legend . As a title-holder with a staggering elimination criminal record , she is also one of the stronger female rival in the series .

Stucky is not afraid to be confrontational with other role player , and her feud with Cara Maria Sorbello earned them a place inRivalswhere they were runners - up . She would represent   some healthy competition for distaff challengers like Tori Deal   and would probably cause entertaining   conflict in the sign of the zodiac since   she does n’t have as many loyalty as a mass of the   new mould .

Paulie Calafiore

In just   three   seasons , Paulie Calfiore manage to make it to two different final ,   have an intense quixotic relationship   withChallengechampion Cara Maria Sorbello , and   make grow a bunch of feuds with fellow casting appendage .

roll in the hay him or detest him , Calafiore   is very entertaining and would be a riot to have back on the show . He has recently been on a hiatus and is focusing on a dissimilar centering for his career , but it ’s a shame that he is not still in the house to arouse up drama . It would be interesting to see his ego matched   by other cocky competition that are newer to the show ,   like Fessy Shafaat .

Tula “Big T” Fazakerley

While she may not have been the strongest competitor , Big T ’s bubbly personality made her an instant buff favorite . She played a strong political game and seemed near than ever to a concluding , but   announced her retirement from the show in November 2021 .

Even though it is open that the more competitive veterans do not feel that Big T pose a terror , her shrewd learning ability and personal magnetism   if combined with a bit of physical education would make her nearly impossible to beat . It   is sad to see her give up her progress , and   the forthcoming time of year   will not be the same without her .
