With recent news from Boon that we'd see multiple characters be in control of Outworld I believe it improves his chances only because he would be a perfect returning character to rule Outworld for a period.
Besides he was Shinnok's general during his first battle against the elder gods, the dude is kind of important. He hasn't necessarily been shown too much in the franchise so far, but being the leading general to two main bad guys (Shinnok & Kahn) and also plenty of character ties(Brotherhood of Shadow, Netherrealm) gives him a well placed hierarchy within the evil side.
Shinnok doesn't have many allies we know of yet(probably a couple new characters will be in his allegiance) so why not bring back one of his most important ones?
Also in Armageddon we found out that Reiko detests Quan Chi so that'd be interesting to see why even when they both will serve Shinnok.
That's what I'm talking about!
The people who say he's got no chance of returning because Shao Kahn isn't around anymore, then it's like they "forget" Reiko's original role in MK which didn't have anything to do with Shao Kahn.
Here's a piece of trivia for you all:
Did you know that when Mortal Kombat 4 was first released, Reiko's ending was just him going into a portal. There was no him coming out again and sitting on a throne and there were no Shao Kahn helmet placed on his head. The MK team added that part in a later build, because people complained about his ending being too short and mysterious. Funny enough, his new ending raised alot of more questions than answering anything. XD
