Various WWE Superstars have returned to the company after getting fired for some reason.

#2 Eddie Guerrero

Eddie Guerrero made sure not to waste the second chance given to him by WWF in 2002.

Nearly 14 years have passed since Eddie Guerrero's untimely death, but he is still remembered by his colleagues and the rest of the wrestling world alike. Although he spent most of his wrestling career outside WWE, his WWE tenure made many his lifelong fans. It should be noted, however that 'Latino Heat' was once fired from the sports entertainment giant.

Guerrero was dealing with addiction problems during his initial WWE run and was sent to rehab in 2001. After he was arrested for drunk driving, his release was announced on November 12, 2001.

Ali Siddiqui is a listicle and feature writer for Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2018. After completing his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, he decided to write for Sportskeeda Wrestling after learning about it through a friend. He briefly worked for The Sportster as well.

Ali's love for pro wrestling dates back to when Randy Orton won a Battle Royal to become the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 2004. His current favorite wrestler is Cody Rhodes because he's the ultimate throwback babyface. He believes Rhodes has the Surfer Sting's passion, Bret Hart's prop-gifting schtick, a catchy theme like Hogan's, and a kid-friendly demeanor akin to John Cena's.

When he is not doing research for his articles on Google or catching up with the latest in pro wrestling, Ali can be found honing his Data Science and AI skills as he strives to get back into tech in the near future.
