5 Real life backstage fights in WWE

#2 Joey Styles and JBL

Joey Styles

We move on to one of the most infamous backstage fights in WWE, which led to a commentator knocking out a former WWE Champion.

There have been many stories about JBL bullying younger stars backstage. During one of WWE’s tours of Europe, JBL chose to target Joey Styles. When Styles had enough and finally stood up to JBL, the latter lunged at Styles and got knocked out by the former ECW commentator. Former WWE Superstar Simon Dean was there and described what went down in a 2017 interview:

Bradshaw got free somehow and he started lunging towards Joey and Joey got his arm out and knocked him on his a**. I dare say that Bradshaw’s wrestling career was never the same after that.

Dean went on to open up about JBL more in the interview, describing how JBL could sometimes be a bully:

Everything he did to so many people – he would drink and just terrorize people. It was horrible. I was just like, “What does he get out this?” There were overseas trips all night on the bus, yelling at people and treating them like ***t because he would sleep all afternoon.
