10 WWE Superstars who were arrested for DUI

This week on WWE's weekly episode of SmackDown, the company blurred the lines between reality and fiction when it booked Jeff Hardy in a DUI spot. SmackDown kicked off with Elias lying on the road with paramedics surrounding him. It looked like he was in a horrific accident.

The busted car found nearby was revealed to be rented in the name of Jeff Hardy. Hardy was found a few meters away unconscious and in rough shape. He was smelling of alcohol and was immediately handcuffed and arrested.

This was a fresh angle tried by WWE to deepen the feud between Sheamus and Jeff Hardy. Hardy returned later in the night to distract Sheamus, giving Daniel Bryan the win in the Intercontinental Championship tournament.

This move has gathered some flak from WWE fans. This was something none of us saw coming, especially given Hardy's history with DUI arrests. There are other Superstars as well who've found themselves in a similar spot in their real lives and on that note, here are 10 WWE Superstars who were arrested for DUI in real life.
