10 Controversial Times Wrestlers Went Off-Script
2. Shawn Michaels Won't Shake Hands With John Cena
Making his last appearance as part of this controversial collection of unscripted occurrences, here's the time WWE's resident Sexy Boy decided to throw his toys out of the pram.
Following on from a WrestleMania 23 main event battle between Shawn Michaels and John Cena over the WWE Championship, the script stated that HBK would shake the company poster boy's hand post-defeat as a way of putting over his status as the top dog.
However, with Cena reportedly p*ssing off The Heartbreak Kid during the bout, things took an unplanned turn in the aftermath of the war. With Michaels targeting The Leader of the Cenation's leg early in the match, you can see why Mr. WrestleMania was left feeling a little aggravated by the champ's lack of selling towards the supposedly wounded limb.
This ultimately led to the moment that a brassed off HBK shrugged off a pre-planned handshake between the two. Michaels then reportedly let rip backstage, telling anyone who would listen how annoyed he was about Cena's antics in the ring. The two would go on to work together again before long, but for a time it looked like Super Cena had made a show-stopping backstage enemy for life.
