Top 5 most controversial WWE superstars

5. The Ultimate Warrior Warrior's ascent was halted by management conflicts, and the next decades were riddled with re-hirings and firings, not to mention a notorious homophobic outburst that mainly ruined Warrior's name among fans.

4. Velveteen Dream Nevertheless, as part of the Coming Out campaign in 2020, claims of inappropriate relationships with underage persons and grooming tactics appeared to lead to Dream's slow removal from NXT television, and he was eventually fired by WWE in May 2021.

3. David Schultz During an interview, Stossel accused wrestling of being "fake," and Schultz smacked the reporter several times on tape. Stossel filed a lawsuit, and Schultz was shortly dismissed from WWE.

2. Lio Rush Many WWE wrestlers openly chastised him for being so nasty to a colleague who was losing their job. Lio apologised, but this contributed to his lack of a television presence in an already questionable job

1. Hulk Hogan He was in controversy for reportedly shady backroom politics. But later he encountered widespread notoriety because of racist comments, in 2015.
