19 Nastiest WWE Breakups

History has shown that anyone's chances of having good relationship with WWE are a total crapshoot. That's not just because the professional wrestling business is highly competitive, though that certainly plays a part, but what's also vital to know is that WWE (and the people they hire) are completely nuts.

It's an utter hotbed a wild egos and bad temperaments. Ideologies are going to clash, harsh words are going to be exchanged, and more often than not, fists will fly.

Basically: it's hardly the most professional working environment. When many leave that environment, often, they're gonna have unkind things to say about it. Or, the manner in which they leave is gonna be public and ugly.

It would be impossibly time-consuming to list all the times people have left WWE in a bad fashion. So, just to get to the good stuff (and to have some delicious alliteration), let's keep it at 19.

Yes, the Nasty Nineteen. No, it's not a VHS tape you found in your dad's sock drawer, it's a retrospective of the ugliest, saddest, and most controversial WWE breakup stories. What you found in dad's sock drawer was Twenty Twinks (don't tell mom).

Let's start off with one hot off the presses!

Adrian Neville had a very up and down time in WWE. In developmental, he was one of NXT's original top guys, winning the tag titles twice, main-eventing the first four Network specials (including the inaugural TakeOver), and holding the NXT Championship for a then-record 287 days. His fortunes changed, however, on the main roster, where he lost his first name and was little more than a disposable midcard face.

However, after a quiet period following an injury, Neville was rebooted in a big way. Now a big, bad, bearded heel, the Geordie jumper was positioned as the face of the Cruiserweight championship. He monopolized the belt for months, and everyone saw a top star in the making.

This changed course, however, last September when Neville lost to title Enzo Amore at No Mercy. Given how by then, everyone was sick of Enzo and his general lack of talent, this did not go over well. Not especially with Neville, who walked out of the company days later.

What followed was a standoff that lasted nearly a year. Neville kept his mouth shut and quietly moved back to England. WWE, meanwhile, sat out his contract and tried to make new arrangements, but nothing came forward. Finally, news broke this past Friday that Neville was a completely free agent, much to the joy of the wrestling community.

The future looks bright for... well, I guess PAC now. Hopefully, we can all move on from this ugliness.
