10 WWE Comebacks You Don't Remember
Not every WWE comeback is memorable
9. Chris Masters - 2009
WWE saw great things in the future of Chris Masters, and for good reason.
Not only did he have a million-dollar body, he was also young, making his Raw debut in 2005 at the age of just 22.
He caught on thanks to the Masterlock challenge and proved his worth as a worker in matches with Shawn Michaels and when tagging with backstage pal Carlito.
After falling foul of the WWE Wellness Policy, however, the Masterpiece returned a lot leaner and with a strike against his name, which resulted in a lesser role in lower-card feuds opposite the likes of Super Crazy and Jerry Lawler.
A switch to SmackDown could have been a lifeline but drug test failures caused him to be released.
He hit the indies and international scenes for a couple of years and was brought back into the fold. He turned face thanks to his mesmerising dancing pec routine and had a brief on-screen relationship with Eve Torres.
Despite improving greatly as a wrestler, Masters made his home on C show Superstars, where he had a series of great matches that, sadly, nobody really saw.
It was not a major surprise when he received his release, though rumours of a push or possible gimmick change had surfaced from time to time before he was given his release papers.
