The Man Becky Lynch has been a tour de force on social media since becoming The Man last year.

Years ago, the relationship between a WWE Superstar and their fans was reserved only for what was shown on TV, the occasional Live event, and the even rarer Meet and Greet with the fans.

Over the past decade though, this has changed dramatically, as Superstars are now expected to keep a social media presence, allowing fans to see what a wrestler is doing outside of the squared circle.

Though most Superstars seem perfectly fine online, some are not afraid to flex their heel muscles, often berating fans online for the slightest of issues.

Here are five WWE Superstars who are completely savage on social media, as well as some tweets that got them in a whole lot of trouble.


#5 Rusev

Rusev has taken a shot at many WWE Superstars on social media, even referring to one as the 'Botch Master'.

As an incredible athlete with natural charisma, it is a wonder why the WWE Universe doesn't get to see Rusev on TV more often.

The silver lining to this stop-start booking though, is that fans get to experience the Bulgarian on social media, where he is particularly savage.

Last month, the former United States Champion sent out a tweet about a 'Botch Master' being unhappy, which many took as a jab at Sasha Banks.

After all, news of Banks reportedly threatening to quit the company at WrestleMania 35 had only just come to light, and the Boss has had her fair share of slip-ups in high profile matches.

Even if Rusev wasn't referring to Banks exactly, whichever mysterious Superstar the Super Athlete had in mind must have been fuming at this tweet by one of the masters of savagery in WWE today.

#4 The Iron Sheik

It may have been decades since the Iron Sheik last wrestled in WWE, but anyone who knows the former WWF Champion knows just how incredible he can be outside of the ring.

Despite being much older than everyone else on this list, Sheik has taken to Twitter like a duck to water and is never afraid to share his, often expletive, views.

Writing in ALL CAPS, the Sheik's Twitter is a sight to behold, but due to the language he uses, we won't be putting any of his tweets here.

Often referring to those he chats to as Jabronis, it seems the Hall of Famer can be set off by the slightest provocation, and sometimes will start tweeting without any target in mind.

Love him or hate him, the Iron Sheik is truly one of a kind.

#3 Randy Orton

In the latest WWE NEWS, f ever there is a Superstar who blurs the lines between kayfabe and reality, it's Randy Orton.

Most of the time, The Viper is reserved on social media, posting pictures of his personal life and family like so many of us do.

There are times though that the two-time Royal Rumble winner will dive deep into savagery and though they're not always funny, it's always memorable.

He once got in trouble for identifying a gym patron as the Latino Miss Piggy, and even though he claimed it was because the woman in question had insulted his wife, The Viper was still forced to retract the tweet and apologize.

Even more recently, the former World Champion caused quite a stir by insulting pretty much indie wrestlers everywhere by reminding them how successful he is.

#2 Kevin Owens

The Prizefighter is not known for mincing his words when it comes to social media.

In the latest WWE NEWS, Kevin Owens is one of WWE's most natural heels and has performed the role excellently in his near five years with the company.

Over the past half-decade, Owens has made plenty of enemies, including turning on partners like Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho and most recently, the New Day.

Online, the Prizefighter continues his villainous ways, often picking fights with fans who dare to support his adversaries.

In 2015, shortly after bursting onto the main roster at the expense of John Cena, Owens would respond to multiple fans who showed their support for the former World Champion in typical Owens fashion.

Though KO has flirted with the possibility of being a face in the past, it seems his savage barbs and incredible animosity with the fans have made him a true heel in the WWE in 2019.

#1 Becky Lynch

The Man, Becky Lynch, has gone after anyone and everyone, including the WWE on Social Media.

Whether it be the fans, her fellow Superstars, or even WWE as a whole, nobody online is safe from 'The Man' Becky Lynch.

Ever since she displayed her mean-streak at SummerSlam last year, Lynch has been on a tear, both in the ring and online.

Feuding with stars like Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, and Lacey Evans, Lynch has used social media perfectly to further establish her character as the straight-talking, take no nonsense star, as fans can experience the character online 24/7.

Recently, the reigning RAW Women's Champion even took a shot at WWE for the length of their pay per view events, proving that nobody is safe from her verbal barbs.

With The Man showing no end in sight, expect plenty more savagery by the Lass Kicker for years to come.
