Top nine wrestlers who will never return to WWE

In the dynamic world of professional wrestling, the departure of a beloved wrestler can be bittersweet. While fans are treated to awe-inspiring in-ring performances and charismatic personas, the nature of the industry often leads to abrupt farewells and unexpected exits. For wrestling enthusiasts, speculating about potential comebacks is part of the excitement. However, there are some wrestlers whose journeys have veered onto paths that seem destined never to cross the WWE stage again.

Here’s a look at nine wrestlers who are unlikely to return to the squared circle of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

9. Tessa Blanchard: 

Once hailed as one of the most promising talents in women’s wrestling, Tessa Blanchard’s career took an unfortunate turn due to controversies surrounding her behavior and interactions with fellow wrestlers. These actions led to her release from Impact Wrestling and significantly decreased the chances of her WWE return. While Blanchard undoubtedly possesses incredible in-ring skills, her past actions seem to have alienated her from a potential second chance with WWE.

8. Eva Marie: 

Known for her distinctive presence, Eva Marie was both admired and criticized during her time in WWE. Her limited wrestling ability drew mixed reactions from fans. Despite making a return to WWE in 2021, her time was brief, and it’s doubtful that she will be making any significant comebacks. Her departure seems rooted in the company’s focus on fostering in-ring talent rather than relying solely on charisma.

7. The Velveteen Dream: 

Once a rising star in WWE’s developmental brand NXT, The Velveteen Dream (Patrick Clark) faced allegations that cast a shadow over his career. These allegations, coupled with dwindling support from fans, prompted WWE to release him in 2021. Given the sensitive nature of the accusations and the company’s increasing emphasis on maintaining a positive public image, it’s improbable that The Velveteen Dream will find its way back to WWE’s stage.

6. Ryback: 

Once a powerhouse with a captivating presence, Ryback’s departure from WWE was marked by contract disputes and a strained relationship with the company. Since then, he has been critical of WWE’s practices, which has likely burned bridges for any potential return. While Ryback remains active in the wrestling world through independent promotions, his return to WWE appears to be a distant dream.

5. Mickie James: 

A respected veteran of women’s wrestling, Mickie James’ departure from WWE in 2021 was met with surprise and disappointment. Her belongings being sent to her in a trash bag by the company led to significant backlash and exposed issues related to how some wrestlers were treated upon their exit. While Mickie James’ contributions to the industry are undeniable, her relationship with WWE seems strained, making a return unlikely.

4. Goldberg: 

Known for his explosive power and dominant presence, Goldberg has made sporadic returns to WWE in recent years. However, his advancing age and the physical toll wrestling takes on the body make it unlikely for him to stage another full-fledged comeback. Goldberg’s previous returns were often centered around short-term feuds, and a return to consistent in-ring action in WWE seems improbable.

3. CM Punk: 

A name that continues to resonate with wrestling fans, CM Punk’s acrimonious departure from WWE in 2014 left a void that has yet to be filled. While fans have long hoped for his return, Punk’s strong criticisms of the company, coupled with his successful transition to mixed martial arts and other entertainment ventures, make it highly unlikely for him to return to WWE’s squared circle.

2. Jeff Hardy: 

Part of the legendary Hardy Boyz tag team, Jeff Hardy’s struggles with substance abuse have been well-documented. Although he has experienced career resurgences, his ongoing battles with personal demons have made his return to WWE a complex and uncertain proposition. While Hardy remains an icon in the wrestling world, his relationship with WWE remains fragile due to his past issues.

1. Alberto Del Rio: 

Topping this list is Alberto Del Rio, whose controversial personal and legal troubles have significantly tarnished his wrestling legacy. Del Rio’s strained relationship with WWE, marked by lawsuits and public disputes, makes a return to the company’s roster extremely unlikely. His journey post-WWE has been marked by legal issues and personal struggles, painting a grim picture for any potential reconciliation.

Conclusion

In the ever-evolving landscape of professional wrestling, the possibility of wrestlers making surprising returns can never be completely ruled out. However, for the nine wrestlers mentioned above, the obstacles they face – be it due to personal issues, controversies, or strained relationships with the company – seem insurmountable. As fans, we can only cherish the memories they created during their time in WWE and watch as their respective journeys continue, albeit on different paths.
