Being an employee of WWE is very similar to any other job, some employees are friends and employees who don't like each other. Many members of the RAW and SmackDown roster will be forced to share a locker room and this can then cause several issues if superstars don't get along.
There is also a certain hierarchy in WWE where wrestlers are forced to follow rules which have been created by the legends of the business who came before them. When these rules are broken, even though many of them are unwritten, there is a punishment.
Over the years, several WWE stars have been kicked out of the WWE locker room, it seems that this form of punishment is becoming more common as the years go by.
#10 & #9 The Hardyz
Matt and Jeff Hardy have been part of the wrestling world for more than two decades and even though the landscape of the business has changed in that time, The Hardyz decided to share some interesting stories regarding their first few years in the company as part of their 2003 autobiography.
The duo was young and impressionable when they first came to WWE and revealed that they were led astray by JBL. Even though the duo had seemingly been accepted in the locker room at this point, they were unceremoniously hauled back out by JBL after disrespecting Kane when they sat in his seat on a plane ride.
Wrestlers court then decided that The Hardyz should be forced to do a number of chores to help JBL despite the issue stemming from Kane being disrespected, this was done until the WWE Hall of Famer decided it was time to allow them back into the locker room.
#8 Matt Striker
Matt Striker may not be a memorable former WWE superstar, but he is a person who was able to get under the skin of many Superstars on the SmackDown brand when he was overheard talking to road agents about how much better RAW's product was.
The likes of The Undertaker, JBL, Eddie Guerrero and Hardcore Holly were rubbed the wrong way by his comments and decided that Striker should be forced to dress in the hallway. Chris Benoit even threw Striker's bags out of the locker room and made it clear that he wouldn't be allowed back in.
Interestingly, Striker wasn't welcomed back into the SmackDown locker room for the rest of his career.
#7 Mr Kennedy
Mr Kennedy was a Superstar who was destined to be a main eventer in WWE after a number of impressive victories over stars at the level of The Undertaker.
Kennedy seemingly didn't know that wrestling tradition dictates that other stars who put over the up and coming talent should be thanked following the matches and this didn't go unnoticed.
It was Hardcore Holly this time who was rubbed the wrong way when Kennedy continued to refuse to follow the unwritten rules of the business. Holly grabbed Kennedy's bags and threw them into the hallway and told him that he wasn't allowed back in until he decided.
#6 Lio Rush
Lio Rush was recently released by WWE along with several stars on both the main roster and NXT when the company made budget cuts at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Rush had made a name for himself on RAW, NXT, and 205 Live up until that point, but one of the most memorable incidents involving the Man of the Hour came back in 2019.
It was revealed that an oversees tour Rush had fallen out with a WWE veteran who had tried to talk to Rush about his issues backstage which then led to him being kicked out of the locker room.
"When word of that made the rounds, it led to Rush being removed from the locker room for a period of time after that tour and that point, his issues became less of a regular occurrence in the locker room. In recent weeks, that has changed."
#5 Enzo Amore
Enzo Amore, much like Lio Rush, made a number of enemies in the WWE locker room throughout his time in the company. But his biggest enemy was Roman Reigns when he managed to annoy the former World Champion on an overseas tour.
This led to Amore being kicked off the WWE tour bus by Reigns as well as then being kicked out of the locker room. It was reported that the latter was because Amore was bringing fans backstage and allowing them to take photos and videos which broke locker room etiquette.
#4 Melina
Melina was pushed as one of the biggest female wrestlers in the company following the retirement of Trish Stratus and Lita, but whilst the WWE Hall of Famers were still part of the company, Melina had a few issues with Lita.
Melina's ego was a problem for her throughout her time in WWE and it was something that caused problems for her in the locker room. It was revealed that Lita decided that she couldn't take it anymore and after going to wrestlers court, Melina was kicked out of the locker room by the former Women's Champion.
#3 The Miz
The Miz came to WWE with no experience in the ring, the company decided to sign Miz because of his ability on the mic, which later allowed him to blossom into one of the company's best heel characters.
The Miz seemingly managed to annoy Chris Benoit, since the former World Champion decided to kick Miz out of the locker room after he was seen eating chicken over WWE referee Scott Armstrong's bag.
John Morrison revealed the facts surrounding the story in an interview with But I Digress back in 2017.
"It was quite a long time. I had already kind of had solid relationships with the guys on the roster and I remember ‘The Miz eating chicken’ incident. I think he was eating chicken over Scott Armstrong’s bag. And [Chris] Benoit saw him and kicked him out of the locker room. Forever. Like, completely kicked him out of the locker room.”
Morrison also revealed that it was The Undertaker who later invited The Miz back into the locker room following the Benoit tragedy.
#2 & #1 The Bella Twins
The Bella Twins have been named as WWE Hall of Famers for 2020 and are two of the women who have pushed forward the Women's Revolution over the past few years, but their careers didn't start off as well.
Earlier this year, Nikki and Brie Bella released their memoirs called Incomparable where they revealed that they were not welcome in the Women's locker room when they first debuted in WWE.
The two women were hazed by the women who were part of the WWE roster at that time which included being told the wrong times to arrive at shows so that they could be in trouble with management.
The two women were also told that they weren't welcome in the women's locker room and instead decided to dress in the bathroom, which the two women found easier since they had each other to lean on throughout the process.
This was their regular changing spot for several months until the two women were forced to welcome the newest recruits into the locker room when a WWE official stepped in.
