WWE has created intrigue around the potential surprise entrants that could make their presence known at the Royal Rumble 2024 PLE. Like every other year, the marquee PLE will involve a few adrenaline-driven suspense elements alongside the regular jam-packed match card.

Former WWE star, Chris Masters, joined Sasha Banks, The Rock, Liv Morgan, and many other bigwigs as potential entrants for the January 27th extravaganza. The star in question opened up on his relationship with his old wrestling home.

Chris Masters clears the air regarding his WWE relation

His latest tweet conveyed his frustrations as it seemed he was out there taking digs at WWE higher-ups for his unfulfilled endeavors in the company. The Tweet reads, ”When you bet on yourself and overcome bad booking by a former employer”. 

While it could put a stop to the wild Royal Rumble speculation, the star didn’t let that happen with a clear follow-up message.

He clarified he didn’t refer to WWE in that tweet.

The former WWE star was released by the promotion in 2011 after languishing on the roster. In his final phase of his WWE career, the 41-year-old was sparsely used by the creatives. Masters then tried his luck in the independent circuit and has had stints with TNA and the NWA. However, his desire to return to the WWE remains intact. We however, need to see if The Masterpiece ends up in the WWE ring after 12 years of prolonged absence.

But did you ever wonder what restricted the veteran from rising to his highest potential? Well, if yes, here’s the closure you might need.

Chris Masters- The star that never was?

Chris Masters, popularly known as “The Masterpiece,” had every quality needed to etch one’s name in history as a phenomenal main event WWE superstar. It was the creative’s callousness to misuse his talent through some miserable bookings. However, the star reignited his career at a pretty good pace back in 2005. His narcissistic gimmick, coupled with a dominating aura, sat well with the WWE fanatics, making it a decent sell.

However, this momentum fizzled out quickly and he remained as a mid-carder in the roster only. His stout physique and indomitable attitude went in vain when he was released from the company in 2011. His second stint after 2009 was mostly forgettable as WWE didn’t plan out any big spots or storylines for him. Nevertheless, it would be unfair to suggest that WWE creative was the sole reason for his disappointing second spell in the company.

The star did himself no favors when he failed the company’s talent and wellness violations. Now, we need to see if a third run awaits the undermined talent, and if yes, then what it has in store for him? What’s your take on Chris Masters clearing misconceptions regarding his WWE relationship? Let us know in the comments.
