WWE has brought back talent on multiple occasions, proving you can never say never. Sometimes, in the case of Brock Lesnar, they achieve the same heights, if not bigger than the ones they had their first time around.
And sometimes, you wonder just why they returned to the company.
Mike Chioda, a former WWE referee, spoke about this on Ad Free Shows Mailbag podcast. He said that WWE will use rehiring someone as a way to get revenge if the company has felt wronged by them in the past. It’s not unheard of to find a talent getting buried for a perceived slight by the company.
“Sometimes it’s a money thing. It’s not even who does the job, I think it’s all about the money. I’ve known guys who were in the company and they may have done something wrong years ago or did the company wrong. If they want to get you, they have to hire you back to get you if that makes sense.”
“Once they hire you back, then they can get you. Now they can do what they want with you. Do they want to job you out every week? Do they want you to look stupid? I’ve heard things go down. Unfortunately, sometimes you see somebody that buried the company every which way and talk sh*t about the company.”
“You think to yourself, that guy will never be back. People who say I’ll never be back, I tell them never say never in this business. If there’s money to be made five years down the road with this guy again, Vince will hire him back. He will make the money and then decide what to do with him after that.”
Vince understands the value in making money, and burying a talent before that money is made is counterproductive. While it might be petty, Vince McMahon will do it anyways to remind people he’s the king of the world of professional wrestling.
