10 Cruelest WWE Superstar Exits Ever

10. Chris Jericho

In mid-2005, Chris Jericho turned heel for a feud with WWE Champion John Cena. Cena, who captured the belt from JBL at WrestleMania 21 and had defended it against the former champion in a rematch, had been drafted to the Raw brand in the 2005 lottery. It was Jericho's job to put the new champion over.

At Vengeance 2005, Jericho, Cena, and Christian met in a triple threat match, but when Cena pinned Christian, his issues with Jericho remained unresolved. The two were at each other's throats until SummerSlam, where Cena finally beat Jericho in a singles match.

The following evening on Raw, General Manager Eric Bischoff - who had already made enemies with Cena - was livid. He wanted the champion out of his hair for good, so he booked a rematch between Cena and Jericho with a "You're fired" stipulation. Again, Cena won, and a furious Bischoff turned his attention to Y2J. Jericho begged for mercy, but Bischoff fired him on the spot. When Jericho refused to leave, security guards carried him out of the arena kicking and screaming.

This was the last appearance for Jericho, whose contract expired a few days later. Though he did end up returning to WWE in 2007, at the time, he wasn't sure if he'd ever wrestle again. All things considered, he deserved a better sendoff.
