5 Instances when WWE superstars were involved in a home invasion

The Randy Orton-Triple H feud went to next level with a home invasionWrestling segments that happen outside the arena have always managed to capture the attention of the fans.Unlike the regular talk shows and segments that take place inside the ring or backstage, such segments are a breath of fresh air. And the best part is, we could further categorize these out of the arena segments.One such category is home invasions. Wrestling angles which include home invasions are risky to say the least and it might be the reason why WWE uses it less often. But when they do pull out the rabbit from the hat, it is something worth remembering.Also, if a home invasion happens in real life and involves a wrestling superstar, it easily captures the curiosity of WWE fans. So here are some of the home invasions involving WWE superstars.

#5 Edge and John Cena

John Cena has feuded with a long list of superstars in his career.

Although some storylines stand out, the feud that Cena had with Edge was something special. Ahead of their match in the 2006 edition of SummerSlam, WWE decided to make matters more personal between the superstars.

Edge went straight into Cena's residence and attacked the Cenation leader's father. It was just a slap but as their feud was already hot, this home invasion segment took matters to the next level.

Edge's heel brilliance was there to be seen throughout the segment and the wicked laugh that he gave after the slap was simply electric.

#4 Daniel Bryan stopping an invader

While the other entries in this list were kayfabe angles, this happened in real life.

In 2014, when Bryan was returning to his house with Brie Bella, he found two men running away. These men apparently got into Bryan's house by breaking the back door with stones and were running away when they saw Bryan.

Bryan, who was out of action due to injury at that time, decided to get into the action and went on to stop one of the burglars.

He wrestled the 22-year-old burglar into the ground and handed him to police while his accomplice ran away. The fact that Bryan pulled this off while being injured makes it seem even more impressive.

#3 DDP and Undertaker

After his long stay in WCW, Diamond Dallas Page jumped ships to WWE in 2001.

WWE wanted to have a big debut for him and they paired him up with Undertaker for a program. Before his official debut, DDP was seen spying on Undertaker's home, and most of the footage showed DDP as a stalker of Taker's wife Sara.

The videos were creepy to the core and as it was spread across multiple weeks, it did have the impact that WWE expected.

An actual confrontation between Taker and DDP did not take place inside the house, but it's safe to say that stalking someone's wife in their own home falls under the home invasion category.

#2 Triple H and Randy Orton

The WrestleMania XXV feud between Randy Orton and Triple H had huge potential.

It involved the entire McMahon family and one of the stand out segments in the feud was Triple H invading Orton's house. Hunter was motivated to do the same after Orton took out Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon and Vince McMahon.

To get his revenge, Hunter went into Orton's house with a sledgehammer. After a great segment that kept the fans on the edge of their seats, Triple H finally found Orton and send him through the front glass window.

Hunter was eventually arrested by the police, but the segment did create the impact that it aimed for.

#1 Brian Pillman and Steve Austin

The home invasion angle of Brian Pillman and Steve Austin was something that changed the face of professional wrestling.

Some even suggest that it was the official start of the Attitude Era and considering the impact it had, it might’ve been just that. The angle happened during the feud with Austin and Pillman in 1996.

Austin was in pursuit of Pillman and as the Texas Rattlesnake was hell bound on getting to his rival, he went straight into Pillman's house. After a heroic smashing of cars, garbage cans and two of Pillman's friends, Austin got into the house to see Pillman with a gun.

The screen went black with a gunshot and such a level of realism on television sparked off controversies. It still remains as a milestone in the history of WWE.
