10 WWE Superstars who were hazed backstage

#4. WWE legend Edge stood up to JBL after being hazed

Edge made a miraculous return to the WWE ring in 2020. The wrestling veteran has been busy putting on long and impactful matches in the ring during the final run of his career.

The Rated-R Superstar did not have it easy during the early days of his WWE career though. He was another superstar who was bullied by JBL when he was working hard to make it through to the top.

Former WWE Superstars Ken Anderson and Shawn Daivari recently appeared on the ‘Pancakes and Powerslams’ podcast and weighed in on the developing story of JBL’s alleged backstage bullying.

The two spoke about a time when Edge had enough of JBL and finally stood up to him:

“Paul Heyman told me this story about how JBL was needling Edge on a bus, overseas. Edge was pretty new to the company, and [JBL kept needling him]. JBL had a beer in his hand, Edge just stood up, and swatted the beer out of his hand, and said ‘Let’s go right now. I’m sick of it.’ From that point on, JBL said ‘Oh calm down, sweetheart.’ Everything was smoothed over, and he didn’t mess with him again.”

JBL saw that Edge wasn’t going to take all the hazing and wasn’t an easy target. The Rated-R Superstar did the right thing by standing up for himself and shutting down JBL.
