#4. Adam Rose
Adam Rose’s WWE run came to an abrupt end in 2016 following his arrest in Florida. The former Superstar, whose real name is Raymond Leppan, was taken into custody after a domestic dispute at his home.
According to reports at the time, Rose faced charges related to domestic battery and witness tampering. WWE reacted immediately and suspended him indefinitely on the same day as the arrest.
The situation became even more serious because Rose was already serving a 60-day suspension for his second violation of the company’s wellness policy. That said, the arrest effectively ended his standing within the company.
Less than two weeks later, the global juggernaut officially released Adam Rose from his contract. The controversy ultimately marked the end of his time with the promotion.
#3. WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler
Jerry “The King” Lawler was arrested in 2016 following a domestic dispute at his home in Memphis, Tennessee. The WWE Hall of Famer and his fiancée at the time were both taken into custody after police responded to the incident.
Both sides reportedly gave conflicting accounts regarding the altercation. However, because of the promotion’s strict policy regarding domestic violence allegations, the company reacted quickly once the arrest became public.
The veteran was suspended indefinitely from the global juggernaut almost immediately and removed from his television responsibilities. At the time, he had been a regular part of the programming for years, so the situation led to a sudden absence from commentary and pre-show appearances.
That said, the suspension did not last very long. The charges against both parties were eventually dismissed, and the company reinstated The King to his broadcasting roles roughly two weeks later.
#2. Cameron
Cameron got into trouble with WWE in 2012 following a DUI arrest in Florida. Reports at the time stated that her blood alcohol level was well above the legal limit.
However, the situation became even more controversial afterward. According to reports, Cameron allegedly attempted to avoid the arrest by offering money to the police officers involved. WWE also reportedly learned about the incident only after details from the arrest became public.
That said, the company reacted quickly once the story surfaced. Cameron was removed from the global juggernaut’s international tour and handed a 15-day suspension. The situation also affected Naomi because the two stars were working together as The Funkadactyls at the time. As a result, the act was temporarily pulled from television during Cameron’s suspension. The star was released from her contract in May 2016.
#1. Rob Van Dam
Rob Van Dam faced one of the most damaging falls from the top in the company’s history following his arrest in 2006. At the time, RVD was in the middle of the biggest push of his career. He defeated John Cena at ECW One Night Stand 2006 to win the WWE Championship in front of a hostile crowd that heavily supported him over Cena.
Shortly afterward, Paul Heyman awarded him the revived ECW Championship as well, making Van Dam a rare double champion in WWE. For many fans, it felt like The Whole F’n Show had finally reached the top after years of being one of the company’s most popular stars. The Stamford-based promotion was also heavily positioning him as the face of the relaunched ECW brand during that period.
However, things changed very quickly. Just weeks into his reign, the veteran was arrested following a traffic stop in Ohio while traveling with Sabu after an ECW event. Reports stated that police discovered marijuana and prescription medication during the stop.
That said, the biggest impact came from the company’s reaction afterward. Once news of the arrest became public, WWE immediately changed its plans for Van Dam. On the July 3, 2006 episode of RAW, RVD lost the WWE Championship to Edge in a Triple Threat Match that also involved John Cena.
The following night, he lost the ECW Championship to The Big Show on ECW on Sci-Fi. Within roughly 24 hours, Van Dam had gone from being a double world champion to losing both titles.
Moreover, the global juggernaut suspended him for 30 days due to a violation of the company’s wellness policy. The arrest effectively ended his run as a top main-event star in the promotion. The veteran was moved back into the midcard scene and left the company the following year.
