WWE has entertained fans for decades, offering a mix of action, drama, and glamour. But behind the glitz and storylines, the personal lives of many wrestling superstars have been filled with controversies. While fans are captivated by their in-ring personas, some stars have made headlines for affairs and scandals off-screen.
Here, we take a look at some veteran WWE wrestlers who were reportedly involved in extramarital affairs.
Triple H
Triple H, now WWE’s Chief Content Officer, was once one of the most dominant forces inside the ring. He was in a long-term relationship with fellow wrestler Chyna. However, things changed dramatically when WWE created a storyline where Triple H would “marry” Vince McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
As the storyline progressed, real-life rumors of an affair between Triple H and Stephanie began circulating and eventually turned out to be true. Triple H ended his relationship with Chyna, and it was later revealed that he and Stephanie had started dating even before his breakup. Chyna herself confirmed this in interviews. Despite the controversy, Triple H and Stephanie went on to have a successful marriage and family, though the scandal still lingers in wrestling lore.
CM Punk
CM Punk also faced scrutiny due to his rumored affairs. In 2013, Punk was seen with WWE Hall of Famer Lita at a Hall of Fame ceremony, confirming the long-rumored relationship. However, just a year later, Punk shocked fans by suddenly marrying AJ Lee.
Reports claimed that Punk had been dating AJ while still seeing Lita, leading to an explosive situation. Some sources alleged that AJ and Lita even clashed during this time. Despite the drama, Punk and AJ Lee have remained happily married ever since.
Batista
Batista rose to fame in WWE during the early 2000s and quickly became a fan favorite due to his impressive physique and powerful in-ring performances. While he was a top star in WWE, he reportedly got involved in an affair with former Divas Champion Melina.
At the time, Batista was married, and Melina was in a relationship with fellow wrestler John Morrison. Their affair sparked major controversy backstage. Batista’s marriage ended, and Melina’s relationship with Morrison also came to an abrupt end.
Edge
Edge, known for his charismatic persona and legendary matches, was also embroiled in an affair that rocked the wrestling world. He began a relationship with Lita while she was still dating Matt Hardy. What made it more controversial was the fact that Edge was married to Lisa Ortiz at the time.
Edge and Lisa had tied the knot in 2004, but the affair with Lita led to their divorce in 2005. Interestingly, Edge and Lita’s relationship didn’t last long either. Edge later married fellow WWE superstar Beth Phoenix in 2016, and the two have enjoyed a happy married life since. Edge, now part of AEW, officially retired from WWE a few years ago.
Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan was a massive icon during WWE’s golden era, but his personal life has been filled with controversy. One of the biggest scandals occurred in 2007 when a sex tape involving Hogan was leaked. The video showed him with a woman who was not his wife.
At the time, Hogan was married to Linda Hogan, and the scandal led to the end of their marriage. It was a major blow to his public image, especially given his reputation as the “All-American Hero.” The incident tarnished Hogan’s legacy and shocked fans across the world.
