WWE often puts up a warning for its fans to not try what they watch on their programming at home. The reason behind this is that WWE Superstars are professionally-trained wrestlers who have spent years practicing and perfecting their art so as to not hurt their opponents in the ring.
Of course, there are always chances of something going wrong leading to an injury. But if any Superstar keeps repeating the same mistake over and over again, that becomes a problem.
Let's take a look at five current WWE Superstars who have been accused by their fellow wrestlers of being unsafe. Comment down and let us know your thoughts on the same.
#5 Nia Jax (WWE RAW)
Former RAW Women's Champion Nia Jax has been kept under the radar over the last few years because of the multiple instances of her injuring her opponents. The first major incident was back in 2018. Nia Jax broke the then SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch's nose with a punch on an episode of RAW ahead of that year's WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view.
Another incident occurred in 2020 when Nia Jax recklessly threw Kairi Sane into the steel steps at ringside leading to a massive cut on the latter's head. Bryan Alvarez then reported on the Wrestling Observer that an anonymous person in WWE claimed that she was dangerous and needed to be fired.
"1000 per cent Nia’s fault. She needs to be...fired. She is dangerous. Fire her before she cripples or kills somebody."
Dave Meltzer also quoted a veteran wrestler stating that it was completely Nia Jax's fault.
"She didn't whip her, she grabbed her by the head and threw/shoved her. It was 100% Nia's fault. She never let Kairi find her balance after pulling her out of the ring, she then pushed her head down so Kairi would be unable to see and then threw her forward hard head first off balance towards the steps. Kairi has zero chance."
Despite all the negative social media reactions from the fans, Nia Jax has continued to maintain her position as one of the most prominently featured WWE Superstars on TV.
#4 Seth Rollins (WWE SmackDown)
Seth Rollins has emerged as one of the backbones of WWE in the last decade. Debuting on the main roster as part of The Shield in 2012, Seth Rollins has had a highly successful career so far, having won both the WWE and Universal Championships twice.
While he is considered one of the best in-ring workers on WWE's current roster, he also has been on the receiving end of some massive heat and even being called dangerous. After Seth Rollins broke John Cena's nose during an episode of RAW with a misplaced knee kick, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart bashed him for being reckless.
"He [Rollins] knees him the face so hard, and so recklessly, and so dangerously. He could easily kill somebody with a knee like that to the face. It's a testimony to John Cena. A, he finished the match and B, that he didn't get a shotgun and shoot Seth Rollins when he came through the curtain."
Seth Rollins has faced similar criticism due to one of his moves - the turnbuckle powerbomb, aka the Buckle Bomb. It was this move that injured Finn Balor during his Universal Championship match against Rollins at SummerSlam 2016. WWE Hall of Famer Sting also suffered an injury due to the same move at the hands of Rollins at WWE Night of Champions 2015.
#3 Titus O'Neil (WWE RAW)
Former WWE Tag Team Champion Titus O'Neil has had his share of ups and downs with the wrestling promotion. Despite having a massive build and being one of the biggest Superstars on the WWE roster, O'Neil has mostly been used in comic storylines and angles.
During a Q and A session on YouTube in July 2020, former WWE Superstar and World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho was asked about the most unsafe wrestlers he has worked with and Y2J mentioned the name of Titus O'Neil.
"Christian's bodyguard was Tyson Tomko – his finish was very hard to take. Titus O'Neil, too, the guy would just throw you, with no direction and with no care on how you're going to land."
It is to be noted that Chris Jericho and Titus O'Neil have just been in the ring together twice, both times in Royal Rumble matches.
While still signed to WWE and drafted to Monday Night RAW, Titus O'Neil doesn't appear on WWE programming very often. Last year, he was seen trying to join The Hurt Business on RAW but was rejected and assaulted by the members of the faction.
#2 Goldberg (WWE Hall of Famer)
Goldberg is one of the few veteran WWE Superstars who are still active in-ring competitors. While there's no denying the aura of dominance and stardom that Goldberg brings with him, his matches and in-ring skills have been highly criticized in the last few years.
Even in the early phase of his career, Goldberg was considered to be dangerous inside the ring. Appearing on Stone Cold Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart claimed Goldberg to be one of the most unprofessional wrestlers in the business.
"I just wish some of the wrestlers I worked with, especially in the end, like Goldberg... Goldberg, to me, was one of the most unprofessional wrestlers there was in the business. He hurt everyone he ever worked with. You might as well wrestle a real gorilla. He was the most dangerous guy to work with, he hurt everyone he worked with."
Current United States Champion Riddle has also taken many shots at Goldberg for his in-ring abilities. After Goldberg's match against The Undertaker at WWE Super ShowDown 2019, Riddle took a dig at the former Universal Champion through a Twitter post.
#1 John Cena (WWE legend)
The 16-time World Champion John Cena is arguably one of the greatest and most popular WWE Superstars of all time. Not many WWE Superstars can claim to have achieved more in their career than The Leader of Cenation. But while there's no doubt over John Cena's amazing mic skills, he has often been criticized for his in-ring abilities.
John Cena was the leader of WWE's locker room for several years and gained massive respect from most of his colleagues. However, former Nexus member Michael Tarver accused Cena of injuring him. Tarver later clarified that he didn't think Cena did it on purpose but also mentioned that the latter was being reckless.
"I wasn't accusing him of doing it on purpose, he was being reckless and took liberties, but he didn't pick up a chair to fracture my arm. It happened because he wasn't careful. Outside of that, it was business, we weren't great friends."
John Cena has transitioned into the role of a part-timer and hardly appears on WWE programming these days. He last appeared at WrestleMania 36 where he lost to 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt in a Firefly Fun House match.
