While there are many different reasons that caused these superstars to part ways with the company, there's a genuine possibility that they might never ever return to the squared circle as long as Vince McMahon is at the helm.

#1 Never sign again - Enzo Amore

No chance in hell
No chance in hell

You may remember this man as the one Vince McMahon selected to rule the Cruiserweight Division on 205 Live.

While Enzo Amore was one of the most entertaining acts of the New Era, his backstage behavior really gravitated all the nuclear heat a superstar must always beware of.

Despite the fact that he ran riot with his words within the squared circle, he wasn't really a top draw and judging by how his in-ring quality was, he never really brought anything unique to the table.

Considering that he was later accused of rape allegations, WWE literally took no time in taking a decision and released him straight away, despite the fact that he said that he was innocent.

Moreover, his recent appearance at Survivor Series showed Enzo the wrong way, and there were significant rumors of Vince McMahon was legitimately furious with the former Cruiserweight Champion.

With security literally throwing him out of the stadium, it genuinely made things more pathetic and worse for Enzo.

While WWE may never be able to erase Enzo from their history, he is one controversial superstar Vince McMahon will never want to sign again.

#2 He Could Sign - Neville

Does Neville deserve another chance?
Does Neville deserve another chance?

Neville is one of the most talented superstars and understands the craft better than most in the independent circuit.

Considering that he made a shocking appearance at All Elite Wrestling rally, the fans genuinely want him to be a bigger name outside of WWE's territory.

However, there's a genuine chance that WWE would eventually go back to him and present him a lucrative contract.

Triple H has praised Neville and his potential, so The Game could genuinely convince the Boss to look at the big picture and bring him back.

With the Man Who Gravity Forgot joining AEW, he can eventually become someone who coerces the WWE management to rethink and bring him back.

His journey could be pretty similar to that of Drew McIntyre, a man who built his reputation outside of the business and is now part of Vince's projects.

While Neville, who is recognized as PAC in the independent scene left WWE due to his creative disagreements on his direction, he could very well be a priority for Triple H in the future.

There were multiple reports of Neville enraging Vince McMahon after he stormed out of Monday Night Raw and refused to perform for the company anymore, with the main reason being creative direction.

Despite what transpired in his tenure with the WWE, the former NXT Champion never prefers to degrade Vince's supervision and has never denied the possibility to work with them again.

There's no denying that he has a bigger pull in the United Kingdom and with WWE legitimately wanting to expand their reach on different platforms, there is a chance that we might see Neville return to the WWE, one day.

#3 Never sign again - CM Punk

Never say Never? I don't think so
Never say Never? I don't think so

Widely regarded as one of the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling, CM Punk has always had his share of ups and downs with the WWE.

The former WWE Champion left Vince McMahon's billion dollar company on very unfortunate terms and left them at a time when the company desperately needed his services.

While Punk's ambition and hunger has always made him an inspiration for legions of fans all over the wrestling world, the WWE management have never been too pleased with his attitude.

Considering that his relationship with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon was always terrible, there's no chance both parties will ever want to acknowledge each other's importance again.

Despite the fact that the fans still continue to chant his name throughout the year, Punk doesn't seem to have any intention of ever returning back to the squared circle, and that too, for Vince McMahon.

Moreover, his explanations about his time in the WWE at the Art of Wrestling Podcast with Colt Cabana made things even more serious and problematic between the two even to the point when the company had to file a lawsuit against Punk and Cabana.

Where the world of professional wrestling still revolves around the catchphrase of 'Never Say Never', I definitely do not believe that will be the case with CM Punk.

#4 He Could Sign - Kenny Omega

Is the Cleaner heading to the WWE?
Is the Cleaner heading to the WWE?

Before the fans come screaming upon this particular section and claim that Kenny Omega was never a WWE superstar, he actually was a part of it's developmental territory.

The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion had a hard time working in Deep South Wrestling where he genuinely felt isolated that coerced him to make a name for himself elsewhere.

Since WWE didn't really understood what they had with the Cleaner, they are desperate to bring the Elite member of the Bullet Club back.

With multiple rumors circulating about Vince McMahon's willingness to sign Omega, there's still a genuine possibility that he turns down the offer and moves to All Elite Wrestling.

While signing for WWE would make Kenny Omega a legend in his own right, changing the wrestling world with AEW would bring him more respect and adulation.

Whether he returns to Vince's territory and runs riot on Monday Night Raw or signs for All Elite Wrestling, Vince McMahon would always want to secure Omega's services and bring him where he deserves to be.

#5 Never sign again - Cody Rhodes

No way near at the moment
No way near at the moment

There's no denying that Cody Rhodes has established himself as one of the biggest stars in the world of professional wrestling despite being dejected completely under Vince McMahon.

Considering that he never became the star the fans expected him to be in the WWE, moving away from the company proved beneficial in elevating his stature as a professional.

With his drive to change the wrestling business like his father did, the American Nightmare has moved a step further and joined forces with the Young Bucks to form 'All Elite Wrestling'.

Since the news has broken out, many independent wrestling fans have openly stated their excitement on social media platforms and are tipping this newly introduced promotion to go to war with Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.

While WWE can never be erased from professional wrestling history, Vince has never acknowledged any competition that comes to rival them in their territory.

Despite the fact that the company offered lucrative contracts to Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks, the rejection of those offers might have not sat down well with the Boss.

Rhodes' ambition to take wrestling to unimaginable heights is commendable, but that would only dampen his chances of ever returning back to Vince's radar, especially after refusing such a lucrative offer.

#6 He could sign - Chris Jericho

This man will always be respected
This man will always be respected

Chris Jericho's recent alliance with All Elite Wrestling has literally shaken the core of the wrestling world, with many fans surprised over his move to a different United States promotion.

Considering that it was Y2J who admitted that he would never work for any rival promotion in the United States out of respect for Vince McMahon, his shocking move to AEW has turned the tables.

With Jericho being one of the most respected members of the industry, his arrival at AEW would literally put a lot of pressure on Vince McMahon and will only increase their ongoing heat with Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks.

Regardless of what transpires with AEW, the former Intercontinental Champion has really gravitated tremendous attention from all the wrestling fans all over the world and understands the significance of the business more than any other.

Since Y2J is willing to prove a point by vowing to excel in everything he ever did, Vince McMahon would genuinely appreciate his yearn to prove himself yet again.

Considering that he also wished him luck during his dream match with Kenny Omega, there's still a genuine possibility that the Boss still looks at Jericho as a special professional wrestler.

There's no denying that his move might have hurt Vince the wrong way, Jericho's name and popularity would eventually coerce him to return where he became the greatest of all time.

#7 Never sign again - Mr. Kennedy

Very unlikely that it will ever happen
Very unlikely that it will ever happen

One superstar who never reached his full potential under Vince McMahon is Mr. Kennedy. Despite being promised to reach the top of the WWE, many incidents coerced the company to think otherwise and releasing him.

For those who don't know, Kennedy was once scheduled to be a part of one of the biggest storylines in the business, with the former US Champion set to be revealed as Vince McMahon's son.

The storyline also Vince McMahon's limo explode where a death angle was also set for the Chairman but due to real life incidents regarding Chris Benoit's actual death, the Boss had to return to the squared circle.

Moreover, there were multiple rumors that Mr. Kennedy shared a pretty fractured relationship with John Cena and Randy Orton which eventually led the company to release him.

Since things have never been favorable for Kennedy ever since then, Vince McMahon might never consider bringing him back to the squared circle.

The Chairman definitely believes in giving opportunities at once, and if the superstar being offered the chances fails to deliver, there's an unlikely chance that he would ever put them in the similar spot again.
