Sean "X-Pac" Waltman, once considered a wrestling prodigy due to his in-ring presence and mind for the business, has been on a downward spiral over the past few years due to nagging injuries and a drug problem. His troubled relationship with Joanie "Chyna" Laurer didn't help the situation.
However, Waltman, finally spoke to some of his old wresting friends at Judgment Day. Despite being in a state of problems with friend Triple H, due to the fact that he was dating HHH's ex-girlfriend, HHH greeted Waltman with a hug and they caught up on a lot backstage at the PPV. It seems that the heat they once had due to Laurer has faded.
There are already rumors going around that WWE is interested in giving Waltman another shot with WWE, although it likely would not be in a full-time wrestling role. WWE has qualms about signing Waltman right now, including his drug problem, baggage, and relationship with Joanie Laurer (which may or may not be over).
Right now, there is huge demand amongst former wrestlers for backstage roles in WWE, but Waltman has "stroke" with decision-makers and backstage influences, including the McMahon family, which may help his case. Either way, nothing has been signed yet, but it's possible Waltman may one day be working with WWE again.
