Brock Lesnar was infamously arrested on live TV in 2015

#2 John Cena

It's not every day you get to see John Cena in trouble with the law but in 2005, Cena and JBL were in the middle of an intense feud against each other that saw the former vandalize his arch-rival's limousine on an episode of SmackDown.

This eventually led to JBL losing his cool and on the 31st March, 2005 episode of SmackDown, the then-WWE Champion made sure Cena paid the price, as the latter was made to be arrested and was also brutally attacked by JBL as well.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar's feud with the returning Undertaker in 2015 was chaotic and as expected, it also led to an orderless brawl between the pair prior to their clash at SummerSlam 2015.

On the 20th July, 2015 episode of RAW, Lesnar and Undertaker engaged in a wild brawl as things got out of hands with the two veterans trying to diss out as much punishment as they could in the lead-up to The Biggest Party of the Summer.

The brawl eventually ended with the two men being separated by almost half of the WWE roster and added security guards. However, in order to maintain further order, Lesnar was also arrested backstage.
