5 WWE Stars Who Were Kicked Out Of The Locker Room

1. The Miz

It's another dreaded case of the Smackdown locker room of the mid-2000s!

Miz was always going to find it hard to acclimate to that environment, given his reality television background and abrasive personality. He was ribbed incessantly by guys like JBL, who constantly referred to him as 'The Red Rooster' on commentary (incidentally, JBL didn't like Terry Taylor, either), but it was Chris Benoit who the not-so-Awesome one managed to raise the ire of the most.

The heinous crime he committed towards The Crippler? Eating chicken over/near his bag. Yup. Miz was tucking into some tasty poultry when Benoit called him out for his culinary carelessness. Miz, thinking it was a joke, left the room but was screamed at by Benoit later in the evening and made to dress in the hall.

Making the whole thing even more bizarre, Miz told Chris Jericho on an episode of the Talk is Jericho podcast that Benoit saw Miz the next day and reassured him that he wasn't being kicked out of the locker room, only to renege on that promise the day after (what was that about Benoit being bi-polar?). Miz was kicked out of the locker room for about six months. For eating chicken.

Just remember: however stupid WWE may be on-screen, it has always been equally, if not more, dumb behind-the-scenes.
