Uncover the Intense Feuds and Surprising Collaborations in the WWE-Celebrity World
Celebrity-WWE Feuds: A Battle of Personalities
Celebrities and WWE stars have engaged in numerous feuds over the years, often starting on social media. One such example is the feud between former porn star Mia Khalifa and WWE. In 2017, Khalifa took a shot at WWE, claiming it wasn't a real sport. This led to a back-and-forth between her and retired wrestler Shane "Hurricane" Helms on social media. However, Khalifa's views seem to have softened as she later trained with a current AEW star.
Randy Orton also found himself in a feud with rapper Soulja Boy in 2021. The rapper's initial tweet claiming "rap game faker than WWE" sparked Orton's anger, and a heated exchange followed. Despite Soulja Boy's attempts to respond, nothing came of the beef in the end.
Impractical Jokers and WWE: An Unlikely Encounter
Sal Vulcano from "Impractical Jokers" had a run-in with Bubba Ray Dudley back in ECW's heyday. He thought it would be funny to taunt Dudley, but the interaction took a turn when Dudley slapped him across the face. Despite the initial altercation, Dudley has since appeared on "Impractical Jokers" alongside Tommy Dreamer, suggesting that all may have been forgiven.
Cardi B's feud with Lacey Evans is another example of a celebrity not realizing a wrestler was working an angle. Cardi B was initially involved in a heated exchange with Evans after being tagged in social media posts. However, she later realized the situation and the two had a back-and-forth. While Evans is no longer with WWE, Cardi B remains a fan.
Celebrity-WWE Collaborations: A Match Made in Entertainment
There have also been many successful collaborations between celebrities and WWE. Bad Bunny and Damian Priest put on a classic San Juan Street Fight, showcasing the ability of both worlds to come together. Logan Paul became the United States Champion, adding to the mix of celebrities in the WWE.
Sami Zayn's feud with Johnny Knoxville was one of the best celebrity matches in history. Their storyline started with Zayn's jealousy over Knoxville's "Jackass Forever" movie debut and escalated to on-air and social media battles. Even after the feud ended, Zayn still teases a potential rematch.
