There was another reason behind it - there was some kind of situation that related to merchandise, and while my memory is cloudy on the subject, I believe the situation was something along the lines of Shamrock believed he wasn't getting a fair share of the revenue of his merchandise as stipulated in his contract, WWE denied it, and Shamrock went through the trouble of getting lawyers on the situation and discovering that he was actually correct, and WWE was stiffing him on royalty checks. Of course, instead of realising they were in the wrong for stiffing him, they disliked Shamrock for going out of his way to find out he was being stiffed.
Anyways, I'm sure there is more to the story, but that is a brief synopsis of what led to Shamrock not returning.
