#3. Former WWE Champion Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty

Throughout their time in WWE, Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty were seen as close friends and worked together as part of The Rockers.

The duo were a popular pairing with the WWE Universe until Michaels superkicked Jannetty through a barbershop window and made it clear that their partnership was over.

The two stars have been at odds many times outside the ring and back in 1991, things seem to have gotten out of hand. This led to a fistfight between the two men that Jannetty ultimately won since he was the one on top when the police arrived.

According to reports, Macho Man Randy Savage went on to claim kayfabe in order to prevent both men from being arrested, but Michaels then refused to work with Jannetty later in the night.

This led to both men being called to Vince's office to make up and move forward, but this wasn't the only time the two men had fallen out throughout the course of their lengthy careers together.
