Celebrities have always played their part in WWE shows since there are many actors, musicians, and performers who are fans of the business. WrestleMania has become the most common time of year for celebrities to make appearances for the company. This can often occur in wrestling matches or simply as guest stars.

In the past several years, celebrities have made appearances as guest hosts of RAW. However, not all of these guests have been able to get along with the stars that they've met. While many of the altercations seen on WWE TV are scripted to create a story, ones that happen behind the scenes that are often not.

The addition of social media in recent years has also left many WWE stars open to criticism. It appears that some well-known names currently have strong opinions on WWE's employees.


#5 Former WWE star CM Punk and Chris Brown

CM Punk left WWE back in 2014, but the former WWE Champion is still one of the best-known wrestlers in the world, which often makes him a target. That being said, it was the self-proclaimed Best in the World that went looking for trouble when he tweeted RnB singer Chris Brown back in 2012. In the tweet, he stated that he would love to curb stomp him at WrestleMania.

"I would like @chrisbrown [to] fight somebody that can defend themselves. Me curb stomping that turd would be a #wrestlemania moment."

Chris Brown obviously wasn't someone that was going to take this lying down and responded with an interesting tweet aimed at the WWE star.

"@CMpunk needs more followers. He's such a leader! Not to mention the roids he's on has made it utterly impossible for him pleasure women."

CM Punk decided to take the feud up a notch with this response.

“Put some gloves on in the ring and I will choke you out and make you feel as weak and powerless and scared and alone as any woman has had the misfortune of knowing any sad, cowardly little boy as yourself. And all proceeds can go to a women’s charity of my choosing.”

Chris Brown then responded saying it was cute, but this was the last interaction between the two men. It appears that they just decided to stop responding to one another, so the fans never got to see the wrestling showdown of Brown and CM Punk.

#4 WWE legend The Rock and Vin Diesel

WWE great The Rock and Vin Diesel have been seen side by side in the Fast and Furious movie franchise in the past. However, while Dominic Toretto and Luke Hobbs have come to blows on-screen, it appears that the two men have also had issues off-screen.

The issues began when The Rock posted an image of himself and his co-star on Instagram with the following caption:

"Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don’t."

This began speculation that there were some issues brewing on-set. The speculation was further fuelled when the former WWE star posted another image thanking the whole cast... except Vin Diesel.

While Diesel himself tried to brush off the feud, there were rumors of the two men actually refusing to work together on set. The former WWE Champion was then given his own spinoff, which was successful at the box office.

Despite rumors that Diesel resented the spinoff, he has since congratulated The Rock on his success, as well as his recent marriage to Lauren Hashian.

It appears that like many feuds on this list, this one was able to end amicably.

#3 WWE Hall of Famer Batista and Stephen Amell

Stephen Amell was first introduced to the wrestling world as part of a feud against Cody Rhodes during his time in WWE. This allowed Amell to make his in-ring debut at SummerSlam back in 2015. It later led to Rhodes making a guest appearance on Arrow.

Amell has since been around the wrestling world in All Elite Wrestling and Ring of Honor. However, it appears that Rhodes isn't the only wrestler that he's "feuded" with.

Batista has been making quite a name for himself in Hollywood in recent years. However, The Animal returned to WWE to take on Triple H at last year's WrestleMania, which seemingly garnered the attention of Stephen Amell.

The above Tweet was seemingly meant in good humor, but the former WWE star must've been caught in a bad mood and responded with a stern message.

Amell went on to make it clear that he was joking with Batista and then begged for his life in the final tweet exchanged between the two men.

Batista went on to tell Lilian Garcia that he was offended by the tweet. He explained that he responded in the way that he did because he knows Amell has a large Twitter following. Therefore, it could have caused a domino effect, which would have in turn seen fans react negatively to his return match in WWE.

#2 WWE star Kevin Owens and Melissa Joan Hart

This is perhaps one of the strangest additions to the list. Back in November 2015, Melissa Joan Hart, best known as Sabrina The Teenage Witch, had some choice words for WWE star Kevin Owens.

Hart is seemingly a huge wrestling fan, but decided to share her thoughts in the wrong way by directly tweeting WWE to call Kevin Owens a lazy wrestler, following an episode of RAW.

Of course, Owens isn't one to hold back on social media and responded by telling the actress that one of her shows basically bored him to sleep.

"Sorry, I watched one of your shows a few months ago and it put me in a slumber that has been hard to recover from."

Hart tried to backtrack and state that she didn't mean lazy in the way that Owens obviously took it.

Hart then told Owens to prove her wrong. However, the former WWE Universal Champion didn't respond to any of her tweets and instead opted to block her. The likes of Big E and Tyler Breeze then went on to note that they stood with their fellow WWE star following the feud.

#1 Former WWE star Chris Jericho and Mickey Rourke

Former WWE star Chris Jericho has managed to rub a number of stars the wrong way on Twitter over the years, but interestingly one of his biggest real-life feuds actually began as a storyline angle.

The former WWE star was originally set to face the Hollywood star Mickey Rourke at WrestleMania 25, until Rourke called him out at the SAG Awards. He was then pulled from the match by his agents.

Vince McMahon wasn't impressed because he wanted to announce the match after the Oscars, but at that point, the match was already off. In the buildup to the match, the two men appeared on Larry King. With Y2J in full character, he managed to legitimately upset Rourke.

The night before WrestleMania, Mickey Rourke then showed up with three bodyguards and was ready to have a real fight with Jericho. The former WWE star explained in his book that he had to diffuse the situation. He explained that it was all acting, before Rourke was then part of WrestleMania and knocked him out as planned.
