Top 5 Wrestlers Who Will Never Come To WWE - Part 1
5 ZACK SABRE JR: While the Englishman has technically worked for WWE, competing in the Cruiserweight Classic, hence his low ranking on the list, he has never officially been signed by the company.
Out of everybody on this list, it is most clear that Zack Sabre Jr. turned down the chance to work with WWE after not signing a contract at the end of the tournament. This is a clear indication that the Technical Wizard has no real desire to work on a full-time basis for Vince McMahon and company.
And who can blame him? Zack Sabre is working all around the world from Europe and America to New Japan Pro Wrestling and he is winning championships everywhere he goes, so he is not exactly going to rush to be thrown into 205 Live’s struggling show.
4 JAY LETHAL: Jay Lethal has been one of the greatest wrestlers for a long time and fans have been eager to see him work in the big leagues throughout that period. While he has done great work for places such as TNA or ROH, seeing him in WWE would be incredible.
However, while fans might want to see Lethal work for WWE it would appear that the former ROH Champion doesn’t feel the same way. There is no doubt that with the latest influx of independent stars, Lethal would have been approached at some stage, and he just doesn’t seem interested.
Whether it boils down to timing simply not working out or other reasons, Lethal appears to be more than happy doing what he is doing, after all, not every wrestler has a desire to work for WWE.
3 BRISCOE BROTHERS: One look at the Briscoe Brothers and you could understand why the popular tag team is likely never going to compete in WWE, as they simply don’t fit WWE’s usual look, or style and behaviour.
However, despite their look and trash mouth style, both men are incredibly talented and WWE would likely make things work to sign them with certain gimmicks like SAnitY being perfect for them.
But controversial comments they have made during their wrestling careers will likely put a stop to the brothers ever making it to WWE. With Jay Briscoe tweeting anti-gay remarks that go against WWE’s PG policy.
2 JESSICKA HAVOK: With women’s wrestling on the rise in WWE seeing somebody as talented as Jessicka Havok not be given a chance to work for the big leagues is a real shame, as she is certainly one of the most talented female wrestlers around.
WWE clearly agreed with that, giving her a tryout in 2015 that was seemingly going to be the moment Havok would be signed, until her past came to back to haunt her and cost her the chance to work with the company.
A fan had unearthed some tweets from her past which were racist and homophobic, which of course didn’t go down well with WWE and cost her the chance, which is likely to be the case forever.
1 THE GREAT MUTA: Arguably one of the greatest wrestlers to never make the jump to WWE at some point in his career and while he is at the age of 52, he can certainly still go in the ring. He has worked for countless promotions and always been a highlight, but never WWE.
Unfortunately, because of his age, WWE is likely not going to make a move for him as they focus on young upcoming wrestlers from NXT, which means The Great Muta will probably never lace up his boots in a WWE ring.
This is a big shame as a wide range of wrestling fans will never get to see what he is capable of, but the company did bring in Jushin Thunder Liger for a one-shot deal, so there is hope yet.
