5 former superstars the WWE should bring back

#4 Damien Sandow

2016 was the year that WWE officials released a total of 16 Superstars. While some of the names that were released were probably deserving, there were several on that list that many (including this writer) were absolutely stunned to hear of their release. One of those mentioned that left fans scratching their collective heads was Damien Sandow.

One of the final angles that Sandow was known for was the "MizDow" storyline. This storyline would serve as a catalyst to launch Sandow into becoming one of the most popular and loved Superstars on the entire roster.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Unfortunately, his newfound fame would be short-lived as Sandow was released from his WWE contract on May 6, 2016. Fans all around the world were completely shocked upon hearing the news that Sandow was released.

After leaving the company, Sandow had a short stint with Impact Wrestling, where he did enjoy a bit of success. However, he has since taken a break from the industry, stating he wanted to pursue more options in the acting field. With this said, I do not believe it would take much persuading to convince Sandow to return.
