@IkeWarchol302 he revealed that Vince made him make that call. consider Vince was believed to have distasteful view on Christian, it's at least 90% true.
Christian has to be one of the most underappreciated wrestlers of the business. He should’ve been a multiple time world champion. He had always been a loyal worker to WWE as he always gave it his all, but never got the chance because Vince thought that he was ugly and wanted to put a blue dot on his face for some stupid reason. He always saw him as Edge’s partner, which is absurd because he proved in TNA that he was just as good as Edge.
@@Slayer-Josh Yep, their were so many issues with Roman Reigns' mega babyface push, I'll list some examples • He wasn't ready • Fans were still shaking off the effect John Cena's 8 year push as the face of WWE. • His promos were painfully silly. • His push can a time when fans only wanted Daniel Bryan as the face of WWE. • Since fans can see right through WWE's booking and as a result, Reigns would get some of loudest boos every show he was apart of.
@danielmchale7635 He's not great, but he does have charisma and can pull off main event level promos when need be. Shelton doesn't have natural charisma, which is really all he lacked. Charisma is just as important in a promo as mic skills.
that’s an odd comparison, like yeah style doesn’t have the best range on the mic but his southern accent and his energy outshine any promo shelton ever did
I'm sick of people trying to gaslight me into believing Shawn Michaels had a match in 2018. I don't care how much fake footage you show me; I know this didn't happen. Shawn Michaels' last match was in 2010 at WrestleMania 26, where he lost in a Streak vs. Career match to the Undertaker.
I know it’s your opinion, but Shawn, Michaels did have a match in 2018 at Crown Jewel it was a a tagteam match D Generation X versus brothers of destruction, so go and rewatch crown jewel 2018 and then you have your proof
@ dude seriously. I’ve watch the show multiple. So I know for a fact that the main event of that show was the WWE World Cup finals, where Shane O’Mac took The Miz’s place in the finals, and defeated Ziggler to become the BEST IN THE WOOOOORRRRRRLLLLLDDDDD!!!!!
@@Spherecode. Respectfully disagree. While strowman doesn't have kanes mic skills who i acc consider to be one of the best considering his material I think strowmans mic skills are still solid and his wrestling ability was just as good as prime kanes. Mic skills no but in terms of wrestling I think he was just as good
Raquel Rodriguez should’ve been on there, when she returned at bad blood the crowd didn’t care and neither did the fanbase. She’s so bad they should just let her go 💀
Fun Fact: Todd was blamed for his soulless remark on Christian's return in 2009. However, he revealed that it was Vince the one telling Todd to give that remark. So it turns out we've wrongfully accused Todd.
I 1000% forgot Eva Marie even came back to WWE during Covid, 2021 has got the most forgettable roster of all time. People like Reginald, Sarray, Timothy Thatcher and Kushida have to be the most forgettable wrestlers of all time.
Uh, I'm upset of Christian announcement, he is great athlete and superstar, he helped WWE elevate back in old Get the F out Era and that's how they treat him...? No wonder he gone into AEW
What upsets me most about Shelton's return is that he was not used ONCE in a money in the bank ladder match, during the ruthless aggression area he was in almost all of them and while he never won he always has stand out spots in the matches. Like the one where he ran off the ladder placed on the ropes and did a dive. In his return Shelton wasn't in a single money in the bank ladder match or even was in the chance to qualify for one, missed opportunity.
Dolph Ziggler. It's debatable if he was gone long enough for this to be a "return," but he was last seen abandoning the US Championship. Then he returned in the Royal Rumble match and promptly... got himself eliminated in just a few minutes. That kind of buildup deserves at least a Final Four and a mid-sized push in the following weeks, but the only thing Dolph got was shafted.
How is "Emmalina" not _at least_ number 2? Vignettes for months only for Emmalina to come out and announce she's going _back_ to Emma. Then WWE strings her along for, what was it, a year or so and then future endeavours her. Emma had such a cool look too.
The issue with Strowman, is that the bubble burst long ago with him. He's got no steam attached to him. It also doesn't help that his current stick may not fit any more. Which is why he feels no better than enhancement talent now. He's truly become the Big Show our the modern era.
I heard that Vince personally didn't like Christian and didnt give him a proper push for this reason. Christian was a success in TNA and in AEW right now , so WWE missed out big time.
I loved Christian and edge back when they debuted as the brood with gangrel..at least Christian got his wwe belt.. Vince didnt like him..he hated his face, literally..😂
I would disagree with the Brawn stroman cause what about when he vs Bronson reed in a last standing match it was pretty crazy and the backstage fight but I still get what u mean
Yeah it seemed like his injury really derailed him for a while, but since then he's been building back up. As a big Braun Strowman fan, I hope he gets another world title or at least wins the IC or US title at some point.
i dont agree with Braun Strowman. i think his Return was not that bad and he had a pretty nice feud with Bronson Reed. but seeing that he didnt show up again since their last Match i guess hes injured again.
Braun's feud with Bronson Reed and their backstage brawls were cool, it was one of the best things Raw had at that moment and destroying the ring was also pretty pleasant. And it was pretty recent. It's still not on the same level as 2017-2018 Braun but he still got it
Crazy that Carlito isn't on this list Was actually excited for him to come back, and now he's not even a jobber, can't even remember the last time he even had a match
I'll never believe any excuse for not pushing someone when worse wrestlers had been pushed to the moon. Jinder is the biggest example that anyone can get a push if the booker actually wants it
For me N°1 is indisputable, Edge. I love Edge but after the amazing reveal in Royal Rumble 2020 everything went downhill. They didn't know what to do with his character, they give him crappy fight, crappy adversaries, they turn him heel. Eventually he left wwe. A return and a great fighter absolutely wasted
Braun Strowman was at his Peak. Too many good moments with Wyatt Family, SHIELD return, Calling Brock Lesner 'Beasty Boy", Big Show, Kane and also not to forget the Iconic Mixed tag team Little Big. But after his return it's not even 5% of what he did before. He could have become an Icon like Big Show, Undertaker, Kane. WWE needs a better script for this guy.
Del Rio is such a weird case because he SHOULD have been a mainstay in the company for a very long time. Great look and presentation, good in the ring, and could play a great heel. But the dude seemingly can’t get out of his own way and turns out is a giga asshole.
10:55 There isn’t exactly a great comparison, but I think Benoit would’ve been a better comparison for main event level that struggles to talk. AJ Styles might not be The Rock in the promo category, but he is a way better promo than Shelton Benjamin.
The only thing I disagree when speaking if Braun Strowman he has had memorable moments since his return in 2022 and its the matches he was pulling off with Bronson Reed were probably one of the best Monster vs Monster matches and segments of all time
Being a Main Eventer in TNA was just the equivalent of being a midcarder in WWE. Much moreso if it was Christian, someone established as a solid but rather insipid midcarder-4-life already. Also kinda debatable to put HBK at #1, as his wasn't a comeback, but only a one-off match.
Surprised to not see Emma on this list, now that was a pointless return. In regard to the Dudley Boyz return, the really annoying part of it is that everyone (or at least TNA Fans) really wanted to see Bubba get a Bully Ray run in WWE. But I guess WWE just saw them as a nostalgia act.
This is gonna be a Hot take but it's actually a fact that people keep denying triple h return in 2002 should be on here like yeah he had a big pop and his watch with Michael was amazing but other than that he had nothing his feud with Jericho was horrible and we also saw the start of the reign of terror
The Hardy Boyz 2017 return. Essencially went from Matt Hardy returning at WM33 red hot after all the sucess he had over the past year with his Broken universe to him leaving a few years later as a complete jobber.
I hate how they handle Braun Strowman the feud to push Brunson reed was fire and I get it but he disappeared after that all over again . He needs better booking he got big show potential if not a higher ceiling he need more title runs that mean something IMO
I don't agree with Shawn at #1, he only returned for one tag team match and yeah the match was shitty but it wasn't even duo to him, he was the only decent performer there which is kind of crazy cause Triple H, Undertaker and Kane competed in a lot of matches during the 2010's unlike Shawn...
Vince should've still push Christian as a top tier main event heel star even if dans did know he was coming back. Vince was just a dumb guy who got cold feet everytime
Who do you think had the worst WWE return?
Eva Marie
Christian
The rock in royal rumble 2014
Me
Goldberg
“Its it’s its Christian” the moment we knew it was over
agreed
Same
Todd Grisham is by far one of the shittiest announcers in WWE history, should have stuck with MMA from the get go
@IkeWarchol302 he revealed that Vince made him make that call. consider Vince was believed to have distasteful view on Christian, it's at least 90% true.
Yeah
That “it’s, it’s christian” line is iconic for the wrong reason
Yep
Can we throw the word iconic in the trash. It's time to retire it for good
@@nickalvarez8716agreed
Just goes to show how important talented commentators like Jim Ross are.
@@jasse85why ? would have been the same

He's the definition of wasted potential. I still haven't forgiven(edit) Alberto Del Loser for what he did
Especially as a heel. And in my opinion, he was one of the greatest IC champions of all time.
Both him and edge weren't gonna be top guys .it had to be one guy .just like Jeff and Matt..
Sheamus admitted that the League Of Nations did nobody in the group favors & only existed to get Reigns to over as a babyface.
And it had the opposite effect. Reigns got booed even more
@@Slayer-Josh Yep, their were so many issues with Roman Reigns' mega babyface push, I'll list some examples
• He wasn't ready
• Fans were still shaking off the effect John Cena's 8 year push as the face of WWE.
• His promos were painfully silly.
• His push can a time when fans only wanted Daniel Bryan as the face of WWE.
• Since fans can see right through WWE's booking and as a result, Reigns would get some of loudest boos every show he was apart of.
Eva Marie was perfect for the EARLY Divas era not for the actual one and only for her looks 😂
Yes exactly, the era where bitch slap and hair pull are pretty much their whole moveset
I feel like Christian could have been legit main eventer in today's era of WWE.
You really want a guy who excels off of taking advantage of deceased father's in a PG WWE?
Yes@@JohnHarrisIV
Yeah
@@JohnHarrisIVYour dad died 😂
@@JohnHarrisIV yea
Christian deserves much better 😢
Captain charisma with zero charisma. Thats Christian.
10:55 woah, woah, wait. Are you seriously comparing AJ Styles mic work to Shelton Benjamin?
AJ isn't great on the mic
@danielmchale7635 He's not great, but he does have charisma and can pull off main event level promos when need be. Shelton doesn't have natural charisma, which is really all he lacked. Charisma is just as important in a promo as mic skills.

@ I see you’re yet another gaslighter trying to get me to believe this inconceivable lie, but I will not be made of fool of.
We're not gaslighting you, it's the truth. But if you don't want to watch the match, that's totally okay because it was the worst match of 2018 imo
Something i never thought would happen is Cedric Alexander being the last surviving member of The Hurt Business in WWE
Braun Strowman got to team with ricochet for wrestlemania 39 and is still a top contender for any world title
That showcase match was extremely goated, not even going to lie.
Strowman is still great, but he is way too injury prone to give him a Championship run right now 😢
@@Kacpi55so is cm punk
2:29 Kane cannot be replaced!

Raquel Rodriguez should’ve been on there, when she returned at bad blood the crowd didn’t care and neither did the fanbase. She’s so bad they should just let her go 💀
Grandmaster Sexy has the worst return ever! Lol
You could hear a pen drop, it was so bad
No one’s talking about this, but it is absolutely bold to compare Styles to Benjamin in any sort of capacity. I almost admire it.
Do you mean that in Benjamin’s favour?
Fun Fact: Todd was blamed for his soulless remark on Christian's return in 2009. However, he revealed that it was Vince the one telling Todd to give that remark. So it turns out we've wrongfully accused Todd.
Del Rio is one of the most forgettable wrestlers I have ever seen. His championship run just baffled me.
10:58 Do you really just compared Styles and Benjamin??? No offense to Benjamin, but he's nowhere near to AJ Styles' legacy even in his prime time
1:10 this is why sometimes I'm okay with a predictable thing because if it's the right move just go for it
They fumbled gail kim so hard
I 1000% forgot Eva Marie even came back to WWE during Covid, 2021 has got the most forgettable roster of all time. People like Reginald, Sarray, Timothy Thatcher and Kushida have to be the most forgettable wrestlers of all time.

I clicked on this video and said to myself "Christian". not 3 seconds go by and he pops up🤣
How John Morrison or Mickie James didn't make this list needs to be studied for centuries.
Edge 2020 rumble, only thing it accomplished was putting Rhea Ripley on the radar
Well then he also put Damian priest on the map too. Dom as well. Cause if there was no judgement day then what would they be doing now?
PLEASE NO BRAUN DISRESPECT 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 he’s amazing, that little rivalry with reed was hands down one of the greatest things to happen this year imo
I feel like Emma was a perfect fit for this list
What the fuck was Triple H’s problem
Strowman NEEDS NEEDS NEEDS to have a storyline with the Wyatt Sicks
What upsets me most about Shelton's return is that he was not used ONCE in a money in the bank ladder match, during the ruthless aggression area he was in almost all of them and while he never won he always has stand out spots in the matches.

In his return Shelton wasn't in a single money in the bank ladder match or even was in the chance to qualify for one, missed opportunity.
Damn I never noticed that. That sucks! He would've killed those matches and shined
Ruthless Aggression Era was just too star studded to care about somebody like him.
Just a harsh truth.
Shelton is the biggest wasted opportunity in WWE he was always amazing and they always blew it
He’s up there but Kane was the biggest waste of an opportunity
Dolph Ziggler. It's debatable if he was gone long enough for this to be a "return," but he was last seen abandoning the US Championship.

I think this list is about wrestlers who left the company and returned later on, but you make a valid point
Honorable mentions: Mickie James in 2017 & Animal in 2005
Since i dont consider Saudi ppvs canon, Shawn never returned after his retirement match at Mania.
Sure he didn't..but if it was good match you would'nt be saying that lmao
To be fair, no wrestler will ever get anywhere with a jobber name like Charlie Haas
Eva Marie, well.. walked? so Chelsea GREEEEN could run. She even made Piper look alright

I’m glad wwe fired Eva Marie
Such a waste of time and completely pointless. She was nothing but cheap fanservice
2:34 To be fair, the only reason strowman won the belt was because of reigns not being able to compete due to the pandemic
Also, it was a good return, it just didn’t really go anywhere at that point
Strowman vs Bronson Reed was a good feud which is more than some others can say 🤷♂️
I heard that Vince personally didn't like Christian and didnt give him a proper push for this reason. Christian was a success in TNA and in AEW right now , so WWE missed out big time.

if Mr. Kennedy was 2 ever return
WWE better not Mess it up 4 him 🎙️
Ask Randy that
15:20 Hulk didn't form anything. He joined Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. The nwo wasn't hulks making. It was the outsiders creation.
Arguably and sadly, the worst WWE return was Jeff Hardy. WWE should've booked him better.
I'm surprised you didnt have Ronda Rousey on here. Her return and second run was awful.
I would disagree with the Brawn stroman cause what about when he vs Bronson reed in a last standing match it was pretty crazy and the backstage fight but I still get what u mean
Vince buried him by facing Brock and not giving him the title

@@dwightyboy5324 exactly
Honestly, Christian just isn't a World Champion. He's great, but he's just not the top guy.

That Braun vs Bronson series was very good.

They criticized shawn Michael for selling out but if they were payed big money like he was they probably would have done the same thing
The fact that most of this pg era is telling.
What's that music playing in the background
I could never take Christian seriously because of how awful his fake tan was, by end of the match he's sweated so much and rubbed half of it off.
10:58 are you saying AJ doesn’t have good mic skills? That couldn’t be further from the truth.
Just about every return under hhh is a FAILURE
If Christian never came back I probably won’t know who he was
Braun Strowman vs Bronson reed was dope tho
doesn’t help with the fact WWE loves to fucking announce every single return weeks in advance.
Shawn Michaels got $3Million dollars for one match, who wouldn't have taken it?
And HBK was the best in the ring that night.
