5 WWE Stars who were kicked out of the locker room 

The wrestling business can be a hard one to figure - especially for newcomers. Many stars in the locker room have worked hard and done their time on the circuit in order to earn a place in WWE and many veterans are not fans of wrestlers who were able to take shortcuts.

Over the years there have been many stories involving "wrestlers' court" and the way that decisions were made between superstars in the locker room, which resulted in many being kicked out.

There have been several "crimes" committed backstage that have resulted in stars being forced to dress in the bathroom or the corridors, but only a few superstars have come forward and shared their stories.

#5. The Miz

The Miz may be one of the most "must-see" WWE stars at present, but when he came to WWE back in 2006, he had never stepped in a WWE ring and was hired off the basis that he could cut a very good promo.

This obviously rubbed a lot of guys the wrong way in the locker room, so it comes as no surprise that it was something small and random that saw The Miz kicked out of the locker room back in 2007.

The Miz himself opened up about the situation as part of his appearance on the Talk Is Jericho podcast where he revealed that his punishment lasted for six months.

“Yeah, I did get kicked out of the locker room. It was a stupid thing by me. So, I’m in the locker room, there’s nowhere to really go, you know, there’s nowhere to put your stuff down. You would think as a WWE superstar and in the biggest traveling company that we would have amazing, immaculate locker rooms… that couldn’t be further from the truth. All of the locker rooms are like cubby holes, so we all have to squeeze in there and it was one of those small locker rooms. I sat down and started eating some chicken. As I’m eating the chicken, someone [Benoit] goes, ‘Hey, you’re spilling chicken all over my bag!’"

The next day comes by and he was like, ‘You know what, you’re kicked out of the locker room. Get your stuff out of the locker room, but you’re only kicked out on live event days, not on TV days.’ So I was like, ‘Okay, great.’

So the next day I come to TV, I put my stuff in the locker room. [Benoit said] ‘Miz, let me talk to you. People have been talking, rumblings and that, and that everyone thinks you should be kicked out of the locker room for TV as well as live events.' So I was kicked out of the locker room for like six months and it was terrible."

Luckily, The Undertaker reportedly took pity on Miz, and in the end, he was allowed back into the locker room after his punishment had been finalized.

#4. Enzo Amore

Enzo Amore had the potential to become a major star in WWE, but it appears that the former Cruiserweight Champion lived his gimmick outside of the ringway too much, which caused him a lot of trouble.

Amore had a run-in with Roman Reigns on the WWE tour bus back in 2017, and since Reigns was the locker room leader, it led to Amore being kicked out of the locker room himself. Amore caused a number of issues during his time backstage which included taking credit for making Neville leave WWE, as well as taking shots at his own Tag Team partner for suffering an injury.

The former NXT star also rubbed a number of stars the wrong way when he started to post social media updates about his spending habits which led to him not being welcome in the 205 Live locker room, either.

Even after Amore lost the Cruiserweight Championship, he was despised backstage and until he was released from the company at the beginning of 2017, Amore was still changing in the corridors backstage.

#3. Melina

Melina is a former Women's Champion and could have risen to the top of the Women's Division if it wasn't for her attitude outside of the ring. The former WWE's stars antics have become the stuff of legend ever since her release, since it was well-known that she would act like a prima-donna and cause issues for both male and female superstars.

One of the reasons why MNM split back in 2006 was because of Melina's locker room issues and, according to WrestlingInc, the former Women's Champion didn't learn her lesson when she was moved over to Monday Night RAW alongside Johnny Nitro.

This time, Melina rubbed so many women in the locker room the wrong way that WWE Hall of Famer Lita opted to kick her out of the locker room and force her to dress in the hallway.

The specifics of the incident are not well-known and haven't been released publicly, but it's thought that it must have been something severe as to have upset Lita, of all people, who was usually known to be quite laid back.

#2. The Hardyz

Matt and Jeff Hardy are now WWE veterans but, when they first debuted in the company, they were seen as youngsters finding their feet in the business. This meant that many stars were able to take advantage of their need to fit in and when they sat in Kane's seat on a plane ride to a WWE live event, JBL decided to step in according to their 2003 'Exist 2 Inspire' autobiography.

The Hardyz were taken to wrestlers court and thrown out of the locker room for disrespecting Kane who at the time was seen as a veteran while they were rookies. They were then forced to buy a round of beer for the entire roster as well as being forced to do a number of chores for JBL to make up for it.

Of course, The Hardyz did their time and were then allowed to come back into the locker room when the roster at the time decided that their punishment had been played out and that they had learned their lesson.

#1. Nikki and Brie Bella

Nikki and Brie Bella released their memoirs at the beginning of the month, which lifted the lid on a number of interesting stories from the beginning of the Bella's careers.

One of the most interesting stories was that the twins were hazed a lot when they were first brought to the main roster - and this involved more than just being unwelcome from the locker room. For example, they were told the wrong time for Monday Night RAW tapings so that they would get into trouble. This also saw many of the women purposely teaching Nikki and Brie to take bumps wrong so that they would get injured.

Nikki revealed in their Incomparable autobiography that when she was moved to the main roster along with her sister, the two women were not welcome in the women's locker room so they were forced to dress in the bathroom instead. This was something that the two women were forced to do for a number of months until a WWE official found them and forced the other women to allow them to change in the locker room again.
