Hawkins always felt like a dude who was cut because they never had anything for him. Fair enough. When they expand to two different rosters across five hours, it makes sense to bring a guy like him back. He's good friends with a lot of the people working too. I wouldn't have really expected a push, nor do I think it is really warranted.

But yeah, his employment seems to be a symptom of the roster split.
