Society is based on rules, things you can and cannot do.

Since early man, there have been laws, which have allowed mankind to thrive through the years, to where we are today.

And whilst not everyone obeys the law, they are usually dealt with by the proper authorities.

In the WWE, there are some Superstars who have gone against what they have said, and have paid the price.

Most recently we have seen Becky Lynch be arrested for assaulting Ronda Rousey during her suspension.

Whilst The Man may have some credence against the company for suspending her, and robbing her of her WrestleMania 35 RAW Women's title match, the truth is that Lynch got arrested, wasn't the first, and probably won't be the last.

Here are five WWE Superstars who fought the law, and got arrested for their troubles.

#5: Eddie Guerrero

When Eddie Guerrero won the WWE Championship in 2004, it was a long time coming.

Guerrero had fought not just his opponents, but a litany of issues in the past, including substance abuse and run-ins with the law.

In the main event of the February 26 edition of SmackDown, Guerrero once again found himself in handcuffs again, thanks to Kurt Angle.

After being berated by the Olympian, who had attacked Eddie last week, the WWE Champion ambushed Kurt, attacking him from behind.

This did not sit well with General Manager Paul Heyman (who thought it was a matter of time before Eddie fell back into his problems) and had the champ arrested for assault.

Fortunately, this incarceration wouldn’t stop Guerrero from appearing at WrestleMania 20 weeks later, where he retained the championship against the Olympic Gold Medalist.
