If Shang Tsung is a demon, I doubt he will return. Remember, demons belong in Netherrealm and Quan Chi wouldn't allow his rival to leave.

The problem I see with Daegon is that no one ever cared about him that much. If its hard for fan-favorites to return, its even harder for non-favorites. Also, he created the Red Dragon secretly, few knew who was the boss. Shujinko began his quest to search for the Kamadogu for Damashi (Onaga's avatar) before MK1. There's a story about how he was supposed to be the Shaolin Monk's chosen warrior but he couldn't do it because of his quest. Then it was supposed to be Kung Lao but he was a pacifist. Then finally they settled for Liu Kang.

You make a good point but Reiko was also in the Netherrealm. Granted, he wasn't a demon but he helped in the fight for Edenia and Earthrealm in MK4. Also Belokk was supposed to be a character and he was a demon. I think Shang Tsung is such a smooth talker that he would ultimately be able to talk Shinnok into allowing him to aid in the fight.

And yes, you're right about the Red Dragon. But I can see a reason for Daegon to appear. Even if he becomes the teaser bad guy at the end of MKX.
