5 times WWE Superstars mocked their opponents' family members

#4 Chris Jericho punched Shawn Michaels' wife in WWE

In 2008, WWE icons Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels stole the headlines for their rivalry. Things intensified at SummerSlam 2008 as Shawn Michaels, with his wife, announced his in-ring retirement.

Chris Jericho came to the ring to give The Heartbreak Kid a piece of his mind. In the end, Michaels tells Jericho he should go home and tell his family that "he will never be Shawn Michaels."

In response, when Shawn and his wife were leaving, Jericho went to punch the former WWE Champion, but he ducked. This resulted in Shawn's wife, Rebecca, being legitimately struck instead.

The assault ultimately excelled their rivalry even further, as Jericho continued to exploit that very moment as their feud continued.

#3 Paige mocked Charlotte Flair's late brother

Leading into Survivor Series 2018, WWE Divas Champion Charlotte and Paige had a contract signing on RAW. Things ultimately went south when Charlotte Flair was talking about how her family was full of fighters.

Paige responded by saying that Charlotte was wrong because her little brother "didn't have much fight in him." Charlotte's brother, Reid, sadly passed away in 2013 from a drug overdose.

It was a sensitive topic that WWE touched upon, which, in reality, didn't need to be highlighted. It was a cheap tactic to gain some heat on Paige but ultimately caused a lot of backlash.
