10 Ex-WWE Stars Who NEVER Returned
These 10 former WWE stars never came back
3. Chyna
WWE voluntarily letting Chyna go in 2001 proved that no star was bigger than the company and that a harmonious working environment must be maintained at all costs.
The Ninth Wonder of the World’s steep contract demands, coupled with Triple H leaving her for Stephanie McMahon, caused WWE to cut bait and move on, despite the former Intercontinental Champion being one of their most popular performers.
Joanie Lauer’s professional and personal life sadly (and very publicly) went off the rails following her WWE departure, as she became more known for her appearances on reality TV shows and in adult films as opposed to any in-ring exploits.
Suffering from addiction issues and with her mental health declining, WWE wanted nothing to do with the former D-Generation X member and went to great lengths to distance themselves from her, with Triple H noting the complexities of her ever receiving a Hall of Fame induction.
She eventually got one when she was inducted alongside the rest of DX in 2019, three years after her untimely passing at the age of 45.
There’s an argument to be made that WWE could have reached out (rather than pushed away) when she clearly needed help.
