WWE Superstars spend around 300 days a year on the road with their colleagues which means some incredible friendship bonds are formed.
During this time, superstars also become bored and decide to prank the stars. Many of these pranks have been caught on camera and WWE has even cashed in with WWE Network show Swerved!
There have been some incredible pranks over the years that have taken some pre-planning in order to pull off and have left several WWE stars feeling completely cheated when they figured them out.
The following list looks at some of the funniest pranks that WWE Superstars have been able to pull off on their colleagues.
#5 Sonya Deville pranks several fellow WWE Superstars with the "I'm busy" challenge
Sonya Deville recently became an authority figure on WWE TV following her return after a hiatus. The former Tough Enough contestant may be seen as one of the stars who maintains control on-screen, but she's happy to be part of the chaos in WWE off-screen.
The star recently shared a video on her Twitter account where she decided to take part in a viral trend on TikTok. The Pride Fighter was part of the "I'm Busy Challenge" where several people were seen video calling their friends to then tell them that they're busy and that they will call them back.
Deville shared a video that saw her call the likes of former Divas Champion Paige, Paul Heyman, Carmella and Bayley only to tell them that she was busy and that she would call them back, despite the fact that she was the one who called them.
Several of the stars saw the funny side, whilst Bayley stepped in to tell Deville that she couldn't call her back, since she had obviously called her to begin with. There have been several of these trends on TikTok in recent years and more often than not WWE Superstars decide to take part in order to share more content with their fanbases.
Despite WWE's recent ruling on third party content, several WWE Superstars remain active on TikTok and share regular updates.
#4 X-Pac loses his eyebrows
Some of the pranks in WWE back in the 1990s went above and beyond what was seen as funny and some were considered to be a form of hazing. This included certain stars even defecating in food in order to get a point across to the younger superstars who were set to come through the ranks.
One star who came through the ranks in WWE during this time was X-Pac and he was the subject of a harsh prank in his earlier career.
Kevin Nash revealed the story on an episode of the Steve Austin Show, where he confirmed that X-Pac had been out drinking with the likes of Curt Hennig and Billy and Bart Gunn when he woke up the next morning with just one eyebrow.
“Pac did that angle when he was the 1-2-3 Kid," said Nash. "It was his 21st birthday, Kid [X-pac], Hennig and the Smoking Gunn’s took him out, Bart and Billy Gunn. The next day he shows up at TV and he’s missing an eyebrow. They got him all f***ed up and shaved his eyebrow”
“Now Kid makes the decision to shave both his eyebrows. So he gets to TV and lo and behold, they’re going to shoot his 8×10. So that son of a b**** on his 8×10 has got no eyebrows. Back then there wasn’t no money in the WWF so I think that photo followed him for about two years.”
X-Pac was known as the 1-2-3 Kid in his early WWE career and it appears that he learned all about backstage pranks in the harshest of ways.
#3 Christian and Davari prank former WWE Champion Chris Jericho
It takes a lot of skill to prank someone for several months whilst also seeing them on a regular basis, but former WWE stars Christian and Davari had the perfect plan to prank Chris Jericho.
As part of the book Rumble Road: Untold Stories From Outside the Ring, Christian reveals that he pranked the former WWE Champion for several months by pretending to be a deaf fan.
The former WWE star noted that he was able to pull this off with the help of Davari by sending Jericho messages claiming to be a deaf fan called Gertrude who was a huge fan of his music even though she couldn't actually hear it.
“So for months and months, Chris was with his group Fozzy, and we pretended we were a deaf fan of him and his music from England named Gertrude and we’d contact him using this same deaf translating service. We said that we got his number, and even though we attended all his concerts and we couldn’t hear him actually sing, we just knew that he had a beautiful voice and we could tell that he was singing to me. We even went so far as to have Gertrude say that she told her mom about him and her mom told her it might be a long shot, but that she should go after him and try to make the relationship work. What’s funny is, Chris would come up to me and tell me what she’d said during the call and he’d ask me if I knew anything about this."
Several months later, Christian finally revealed that he was the man behind the messages and he claims that the former WWE Champion got quite a laugh out of the whole prank.
#2 Kofi Kingston pranks fellow WWE star Xavier Woods with several sticky notes
The New Day have become known for their pranks over the years and have pulled off several entertaining sketches on WWE TV.
Off-screen, the trio are just as close and often pull pranks on each other to pass the time. On a recent episode of The New Day's Feel The Power Podcast, the trio revealed one specific prank where Kofi Kingston decided to prank Xavier Woods with several sticky notes.
The former WWE Champion noted that after signing several Topps cards himself he went to put them all on the chair and they collapsed onto the floor which annoyed him so he decided that he was going to annoy someone else.
This led to him leaving several sticky notes around for Xavier Woods in some strange places and he even recalled the time where he had to be stealthy in order to get a sticky note that read "keep on swiping" into Woods' iPad case backstage at RAW.
Whilst Woods didn't find the prank particularly funny at the time since he was left to find lots of sticky notes, he did laugh about the prank alongside Big E and Kingston when it was retold on their podcast.
#1 Randy Orton steals fellow WWE star Cody Rhodes' clothes
Randy Orton has to be one of the kings of pranks in WWE, even though some of his pranks have been seen as going too far.
Orton once set off fireworks close to WWE Superstars and has been known to take part in some level of hazing, but the prank he played on Cody Rhodes has to be one of his best.
In the book Rumble Road, Randy Orton revealed that he played an age-old prank where he stole Rhodes' clothes whilst he was tanning.
..it’s a common prank amongst us that if you leave that tanning bed door open while you’re tanning, we'll go in there and steal your clothes.
It's unclear if this led to Rhodes having to wander around without any clothes until he was able to retrieve them. What is known is that despite the ribs that Orton played on his fellow WWE stars, he is still one of the most respected stars in the company and he and Rhodes have remained close friends.
