8 Horrible WWE Returns That Absolutely Nobody Asked For

8. Alberto Del Rio (2015)

Though Alberto Del Rio's surprise comeback made for a fun moment at Hell In A Cell 2015, this was down to a couple of factors:-

1. It came completely out of the blue.

2. He was facing the divisive John Cena, and deposed him as United States Champion in the ensuing bout.

Unfortunately, the run ran out of steam the very next night. Packaged with the awful, nonsensical MexAmerica gimmick with Zeb Colter as manager, Del Rio was doomed from the start. Here was a Mexican grappler alongside a mouthpiece best known for his Tea Party-esque, anti-immigration meanderings. It was horrible, nuked Alberto's chances of ever getting over again, and the man himself did nothing to dispel the criticisms that plagued his previous run.

Though ADR had gotten himself in incredible shape for the comeback, but his work was tedious. Though he can be a credible performer when motivated, Del Rio's tendency to cost through matches and angles in second gear made his work a slog. He spent much of his last WWE run stuck on this setting, eventually transitioning into the disastrous League Of Nations stable, before leaving for good in 2016.
