5 WWE Superstars who suddenly disappeared without explanation

#2 Kenzo Suzuki

Kenzo Suzuki

Months before WrestleMania 20 aired, Kenzo Suzuki signed a contract with WWE and moved to Ohio Valley Wrestling, WWE's developmental territory, in February. The original plans for Suzuki were for him to debut on WWE RAW, and don the gimmick of an anti-American Japanese patriot, but the gimmick never saw the light of day. Suzuki and his wife Hiroko soon made their debut on SmackDown. Suzuki's SmackDown debut saw him defeat Scotty 2 Hotty, after which he kicked off a feud with WWE veteran Billy Gunn. The rivalry culminated in a match at The Great American Bash 2004, with Suzuki picking up the win.

Months later, Suzuki won the Tag Team titles with Rene Dupree by defeating Billy Kidman and Paul London. They held the belts for around two months, before losing them to Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio. Suzuki also feuded with John Cena for the United States title but failed to win the belt. In March 2005, he suffered a collapsed lung and was immediately moved back to OVW after he recovered. Suzuki was drafted to RAW during the Draft Lottery but was released in July, without ever making his debut on the Red brand.
