5 times WWE interfered in a superstar's romantic relationship

Vince McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin

2- Stone Cold and Debra Marshall

WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin was involved in two failed marriages before he got hitched to fellow wrestler Debra Marshall in 2000. However, Stone Cold’s history of failed marriages came back to haunt him, with the wrestler filing for divorce three years after he wed Marshall.

A few years after the divorce, Marshall went on record to say that Stone Cold hit her on three occasions, with WWE in the know about the domestic abuse but forbade her from speaking up about it through a gag order as it would cost the company millions of dollars. Since Stone Cold was one of WWE top money spinners back then, the company worked quickly to ensure that their prized asset had a clean image.
