10 Superstars Who Never Should’ve Returned To WWE

7. Trish Stratus

WWE.comWWE.comThis is a pretty heartbreaking inclusion, in all fairness. One of the big bonuses of being a male teenage wrestling fan was the female competitors we were treated to over the years - and they don't come much bigger than Trish Stratus. She's arguably one of the most iconic female stars the WWE has ever had on its roster, and after she left the company back in 2006, many expected her to retire without a return of any significance (barring the odd appearance in her native Canada, perhaps). But in 2011, she completely altered her legacy with a disastrous return to the WWE. Her comeback was based around her being a bodyguard for her friend Snooki (who is from TV show Jersey Shore), helping her to take down the once-interesting duo of LayCool. But for whatever reason, Trish just couldn't get her return off the ground. Her relationship with the crowd was remarkably low - she barely got any kind of pop when coming down to compete on a frequent basis. Whether it was fans not buying into her storyline (which was poor, admittedly), or simply her losing her relevance and importance, Trish's return was nothing short of a train wreck. When she left WWE TV again after WrestleMania 27, she really did go out with a whimper. That was a great shame, and hopefully it won't be what future generations remember Trish Stratus for. If anything, I'd rather her be remembered for managing Test and Albert. That's how bad that return was.
