10 Ridiculous Reasons WWE Stars Had Backstage Heat

8. Using a chiropractor

A professional wrestler’s body is, in many ways, their prized possession. Given how important their body is to their work, wrestlers go to great pains to keep it in the best possible condition. So, you'd think a WWE star in a great deal of agony deciding to visit a backstage chiropractor wouldn't be such a big deal. You'd be wrong. 

Aaron Aguilera – who portrayed Carlito’s bodyguard Jesus in late 2004 – found himself in the doghouse for utilising a service that he was under the impression was available to everyone on the roster. However, an ‘unwritten rule’ stipulated that only the ‘top guys’ could have their joints manipulated and, once it was discovered Aguilera was taking advantage of a perceived perk, he was ostracised for it. 

This gets even more silly when you realise Aaron’s WWE run was cut short due to multiple injuries, including herniated discs in his neck (which caused loss of feeling in his arm and ultimately required surgery to fix). Other wrestlers in later years – including Seth Rollins and Summer Rae – reportedly got heat for the crimes of visiting the backstage masseuse or using ice packs to treat their aches and pains before ‘earning the right’ to.
