WWE Hall Of Fame : 5 superstars WWE won't induct anytime soon

There a lot of superstars who do not part ways with WWE on the best of terms. Whether it is the frustration of poor storylines for months or false promises that aren’t kept, things can get heated at times between the individuals and the company, resulting in mutual hatred.

Many of the stars have left the company suggesting that they will never be returning again, as they have not been treated fairly. Though some of them have come back when the fire has been extinguished, not everyone has mended or been able to mend their relationship with the McMahons.

With that being said, here are five recently active superstars who the WWE won’t induct into the Hall Of Fame anytime soon.

#5 Scot Steiner

Big Poppa Pump aka Scott Steiner was never really welcomed in the WWE like he should have been. He came to the company at a time when Triple H was on the rise, who never really liked the former WCW star, and this meant that they were always on his wrong side of each other.

Their on-screen rivalry was also quite evident off of it, and the duo never liked each other. Even when Steiner left WWE, he was always vocal about his dislike towards both Triple H and Stephanie. This got him some major heat from the WWE and it does not seem like he will be seen anywhere near them.

The well-chiseled wrestler and his “freaks” have not been seen on live WWE television for years now, though he has been quite active and wrestling across the globe. The main reason for this has been the fact that he doesn’t really like working for the McMahons and had once said that he pities the wrestlers that do.

With that said, he is miles away from a hall-of-fame induction, to say the least.

#4 Rob Van Dam

The high-flying star known as Mr. Monday Night was one of the best athletes to ever put a foot in a WWE ring. However, beyond the Attitude Era, he was never really given the right kind of push that he deserved.

This was partly due to his injuries and the fact that he was a “marijuana” smoker. He was even arrested for the same and that meant the company had to take care with regards to the stories he would be doing.

Originally an ECW guy, the former hardcore champion was one of the best entertainers in the company and had many dream storylines. However, after his 2016 concussion that left him visually impaired and other injuries, the star decided to retire.

Due to these various reasons, the company and the superstar may not have the best of relations anymore and it will be quite tough for WWE to ignore some of the things that have happened. This could be the reason why he won’t be joining this list of elite superstars anytime soon.

#3 Gail Kim

The Canadian superstar made her WWE debut back in 2002 and was the first WWE Diva to win a championship in her debut match. She was initially given some major pushes, but those did not last. Gail Kim was really talented and was also liked by the fans, though the WWE wasted her talent over and over again until she finally left the company and moved elsewhere.

She did win some major titles during her time with the promotion, though when things were good they were great, when bad, they were the worst. Due to this, she left on very poor terms the first time and joined Total Nonstop Action (now Impact Wrestling).

Despite everything, she was brought back to the company once again in late 2008. However, things were just not the same.

She was once again given an early push which failed to materialize into anything. Later, she was just a mid-card player and never really made it to the top of the mountain. She eventually returned to Impact Wrestling and retired back in Feb 2018.

With her love-hate relationship with the company, it will be tough for her to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame in the near future.

#2 Chris Jericho

One of the best and most consistent performers for WWE, Y2J had been a top star in the company for many years. He made his debut for the company back in 1999 and has since then been a mainstay for both the red and blue brands.

Over the years he has helped the company reach new heights, along with being a global rockstar with his band Fozzy. Jericho was also the first undisputed champion in the company and he bragged about that achievement for years.

He would have been one of the favorites to go into the Hall Of Fame in recent times. However, his move to New Japan Pro-Wrestling and now signing a deal with rivals, All Elite Wrestling, might have just reduced any chances he had of being inducted in the years to come.

The “original rockstar” of WWE and the List Of Jericho will both be missed in the Hall Of Fame, and the fans will hope that he is inducted sooner than later.

#1 CM Punk

There is no doubt that there is mutual hatred between the WWE and superstar CM Punk. The “Voice Of The Voiceless” as he liked to call himself, was fired on the day of his wedding to AJ Lee.

He was undoubtedly “The Best In The World” in the WWE during the pinnacle of his career, and his mic skills were just unbeatable. His “pipebombs” just wouldn’t stop trending and he focused on some of the key issues that were haunting the company and its superstars.

There was truth in his promos and actual dislike for the owners of the company, Triple H, and the management. The feeling was mutual at times, and he eventually left.

However, with the way things were handled (fired on the day of his wedding), there is a possibility that he won’t be joining this prestigious group of superstars any time soon.
