12 WWE Stars Who Left And Returned More Bad Ass
8. Raven
Before he made his debut under the guise in September 2000, WWF fans had never witnessed Raven in the promotion.
Scott Levy had worked extensively for the company, but his role was Johnny Polo, a colourful announcer and occasional wrestler. Raven was something entirely different, Levy's attempt to reinvent himself.
That reinvention occurred during the man's stint in ECW. Much like some others on this list, Levy used the creative freedom rife in Paul Heyman's group to his advantage. Raven was a darker character than Polo could ever hope to be in the more garish world of early-1990's WWF.
By the time he re-debuted with the company at the turn of the millennium, Raven had high hopes he could finally achieve big things. A WCW run had been promising, but had faded following a great start.
Surely in the WWF he would hit the heights many claimed he could?
Self-loathing and extolling self-confidence with a truly cool vibe, Raven was a lone wolf kind of character that was easy to identify with.
