Lets be clear: Vince McMahon would do business with his own worst enemy if he thought it would help the WWE. He has welcomed more than one star who left on bad terms back into the fold over the years. Even Bret Hart came back, and that must have taken on a lot on both sides. Brock Lesnar came back after walking out on the company. The Immortal Hulk Hogan returned (though he's gone again, obviously). Dana White, however, seems incapable of the same, which is why Bellator MMA got to cash in with Tito Ortiz's comeback, which saw him on his first winning streak in nearly a decade before putting on a solid showing in a title challenge against Liam McGeary, one of the number two MMA promotion's biggest home-grown stars. That could easily have been the UFC Tito was in, if White were only capable of putting business first. However, his dislike for Ortiz is so notorious he continues to speak ill of him in public years later (chastising Cyborg Justino for hiring Ortiz as a manager is just one example). Not to mention they were once scheduled for a boxing match! It's pretty clear, in the end, who knows what's best for business.
