10 Nasty WWE Breakups That (Somehow) Were Healed

"Never say never" is the credo trotted out time and time again by those in the wrestling industry, particularly those associated with WWE. The wrestling business is, by its very nature, a very contentious world, and personal and professional disputes will sprout up all the time. Wars of both words and fists will break out, and behind-the-scenes feuds can become public and looked on with more interest than what happens in the ring. Many will swear that such gaps can never be bridged again.

However, whenever there's a mutual desire to make more money or just simply to patch things up, time can heal all wounds, and a falling out is never truly a falling out. WWE have liked to pride themselves for years seemingly on making Hell freeze over or teaching pigs how to fly. That's the only way to explain the sheer number of people they've reconciled with even after some particularly nasty public disputes.

But hey, just as the father let the prodigal son back into his home after a disgraceful departure and a long absence, so too did WWE with these superstars.

J-E-Double F J-A-Double R-E-Double T is the latest entrant in WWE's "are they seriously back?" wing of the Hall of Fame. Now, from a pure wrestling standpoint, Jarrett absolutely deserves his spot. He's a 6-time NWA champion, 4-time WCW champion, 6-time Intercontinental champion, was a member of the Four Horsemen, and laddered between WWE and WCW during the height of the Monday Night Wars.

Of course, given what happened in 1999, most people were thinking Vince McMahon would never want anything to do with him ever again. Before leaving the company for WCW, Jarrett, at the time IC champion but working without a contract, extorted Vince out of reportedly $350,000 to do one show at No Mercy and drop the belt to Chyna. Jarrett was publicly blackballed by Vince after WCW's demise, and Jarrett would use his spare cash to form TNA: who to this day were the most serious post-war competition to WWE. Jarrett seemed like a prime candidate to be persona non grata for life.

However, with WWE paying for his recent stint in rehab and the fact that they owe Jarrett for giving so many of their big stars their first major exposure through TNA (particularly the current WWE champion), it seems as though Vince was willing to let bygones be bygones.
