#3. Macho Man Randy Savage officially leaves WWE - November 7th, 1994

Macho Man Randy Savage is still widely considered to be one of the biggest legends in WWE history.

Savage, a former world champion, was mostly working commentary roles in WWE throughout 1994 after he failed to win the Royal Rumble match the year before. At the time, it was common knowledge that he wanted a much more active role in the company.

When his contract was up for renewal, Savage was open to negotiations, but WWE was unable to reach a deal with The Macho Man. Vince McMahon subsequently announced the fan-favorite star's departure from the company on the November 7th episode of RAW.

Just a month later, Savage would go on to make his debut in WCW as part of WCW Saturday Night. Until McMahon's promotion bought it out, Savage had a remarkable run with WCW. As one of the company's top stars, he won the World Heavyweight Championship four times.

The Macho Man tried to fix his relationship with WWE in the years leading up to his death in May 2011. He was posthumously inducted into the company's Hall of Fame in 2015.
