5 shocking backstage stories from WWE's Attitude Era

#4 JBL’s shower-time fun

When Edge received a "warm" welcome from JBL

John Bradshaw Layfield always found himself amidst controversies. The tall, tough-looking renegade surely was a goon backstage and there are numerous stories supporting that. As legend states, Layfield would enter locker room showers and soap the newbies up! Preposterous, isn’t it?

Well, World Wrestling Entertainment is one funny place for sure, where even the unscripted moments are as bizarre as some of the storylines (Mae Young’s pregnancy for instance). This allegation was confirmed by none other than Adam Copeland, a.k.a. Edge, who stated that he was on the receiving end of a rear-end-caress in the shower during one of his early days in the WWE.

He turned around and, much to his surprise, the masseur turned out to be the 6-foot 6 inch Texan. Edge took it in a friendly way and continued joking around with Layfield. There were even claims of JBL sexually assaulting a wrestler in the showers, which were never confirmed, so they lack real merit.
