5 real-life rivals Vince McMahon welcomed back to WWE with open arms

#3 Sable

Sable hasn't appeared in WWE over the last 16 years

Sable was hands down the most over female Superstar on the WWE roster during the Attitude Era and won the WWE Women's title on one occasion during her stint with the company. Sable's run didn't end on a positive note and she made some serious allegations against the company following her departure in June 1999. The case was settled out of court and many believed that this was it in terms of Sable's relationship with WWE.

To everyone's surprise, Sable made her return to WWE four years later, immediately after WrestleMania 19. She became Vince McMahon's on-screen associate on SmackDown and the duo feuded with Stephanie McMahon for a brief period. The feud came to an end at No Mercy 2003, where Vince defeated Stephanie in a Father-Daughter I Quit match.

Sable and WWE parted ways in August 2004. She met Brock Lesnar during her run on SmackDown and the duo got into a relationship soon after. She went on to marry Brock in 2006 and hasn't appeared on WWE TV ever since.
