One such incident happened in 2006 when Randy Orton was feuding with Rey Mysterio. Rey had just won the Royal Rumble Match, and he dedicated his victory to his late friend, Eddie Guerrero. Eddie had passed away in 2005 due to an unfortunate heart failure.

During the buildup to their match at No Way Out, Orton and Mysterio became a part of a very despicable segment. During the segment, Orton mentioned Rey's best friend Eddie and started trash-talking about him. While talking about Eddie, Randy said that he wasn't in heaven but was residing down in hell.

It was a cheap way to generate heel heat, as it came through the exploitation of a real-life tragedy. WWE was heavily criticized for playing with such a sensitive issue. Orton himself faced major fan backlash for mocking Guerrero's untimely death.
