10 Wrestlers You Won't Believe Are Still Employed By WWE

Sabbatelli's career has been way more eventful behind the scenes than in-ring.

He left WWE as part of those well-publicised mass roster cuts in April 2020 after a six-year run, then found his merry way to AEW for a couple of shots. After working on Dark though, 'Sabby' was randomly canned by All Elite without much explanation. Later, Chris Jericho hinted at a WWE mole in AEW's system, and fans on social media speculated that it was Tino.

Eek!

Whether there's any truth to that or not, something else is 100% true: Sabbatelli is back on WWE's roster and going nowhere. He was rehired last October, but hasn't actually worked a match since. In fact, you'd have to go back a full 343 days (at time of writing) to find his last bout on a 7 March 2020 NXT house show.

That's insane, and it does not bode well for his WWE prospects.
