4 WWE Superstars who disrespected their parents on live television

WWE has seen different types of storylines play out in its decades-long operation. However, those who always get the fans going are the ones who blur the line between what's real and what's not. The company has even gone above and beyond by incorporating real-life issues by adding family members of superstars in storylines.

There have been several instances where WWE Superstars would tap into the personal life of their opponent to add more heat to their rivalry. The most notable ones are Edge attacking John Cena's father in his family home, Seth Rollins crashing in Edge's house, Triple H attacking Randy Orton in his home, and more. However, there are also unique cases where superstars would get physical with their own family members.

For this list, we will look at four WWE Superstars who disrespected their own families on live television.

#4. and #3. Shane and Stephanie McMahon settled their family feuds on WWE television several times

The McMahons are one of the most well-known families in wrestling. Not only were they responsible for building the biggest wrestling company in history, but Shane and Stephanie McMahon didn't back down from fighting their parents on television.

Shane didn't step into the ring with his father much, most of the time they would just exchange words and the latter would get another star to do his dirty work. However, that wasn't the case when the father and son fought each other in 1999.

On the other hand, Stephanie McMahon has laid a hand on both her mother and father several times on television, mainly by slapping them. During the March 2000 episode of SmackDown, Steph insulted her mother and belittled her before hitting her.
