5 Superstars who 'threatened to sue' WWE on Live TV

#2: Christian

Christian tried to sue WWE to get out of competing against Randy Orton at SummerSlam 2011.

When Christian captured the World Heavyweight Championship in 2011, it was a long time coming. Captain Charisma had just seen his best friend Edge forced to forfeit the gold due to a career-ending injury and the Rated-R Superstar even helped Christian win the vacant title at Extreme Rules 2011.

Two days later, Christian would lose the title to Randy Orton and despite numerous attempts thereafter, only won the title back under controversial means at that year's Money in the Bank pay-per-view. Once again the champion, Christian would go to extreme measures to avoid defending the title, even using Orton's past actions as evidence of the Viper being mentally unstable.

Christian threatened to sue WWE, if Orton's rematch at SummerSlam went ahead. He even went as far as to threaten legal action against every single fan who watched the match. Of course, this lawsuit was quickly shut down by COO Triple H, who countered by threatening to fire and strip Christian of the title. The match went ahead and Orton regained the gold, but this wouldn't be the last bit of legal action from Captain Charisma...
