5 WWE Superstars who suddenly disappeared without explanation

#1 Mordecai

Soon after WrestleMania 20 in 2004, WWE began airing vignettes, teasing the arrival of Mordecai. The sinister entity was a religious zealot character, and he claimed in his promos that he would rid the world of sin. Mordecai made his WWE debut at the Judgment Day PPV, swiftly defeating Scotty 2 Hotty. He went on to condemn the WWE Universe for committing sins and led the audience in prayer on several occasions.

Mordecai started a rivalry with Hardcore Holly soon after and defeated him at The Great American Bash PPV. He lost to Rey Mysterio on the following episode of SmackDown and was never heard of again. In reality, Kevin Fertig had engaged in a bar fight, and Vince McMahon wasn't happy at what had happened. Mordecai was never mentioned again on TV. He was slated to kick off a feud with The Undertaker on the road to WrestleMania 21, culminating in a match at The Show of Shows, but the bar fight ended his career before it took off.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
