This list contains some top current stars!

In an era when social media serves as both a megaphone and a minefield for public figures, several WWE superstars have chosen to step away from X/Twitter rather than weather the storm of criticism and harassment.

From legendary veterans to rising talents, these athletes have wrestled not just opponents in the ring but also the darker side of online fandom.

Whether driven by targeted hate campaigns, concerns over platform ownership changes, or a desire to protect mental health, each departure underscores the human toll exacted by 24/7 digital scrutiny.

Behind every deactivated account lies a personal story of resilience, boundaries, and the struggle to balance professional exposure with private well-being.

As WWE’s biggest names navigate shifting social-media landscapes, their decisions to log off reveal a shared truth: sometimes, the bravest move is knowing when to walk away. Here are the top five WWE stars who quit X/Twitter, and the reasons that forced their hand.

5. Nia Jax

Former RAW Women’s Champion Nia Jax has deactivated her Twitter multiple times, most recently in December 2024, after harsh criticism of her performance at WWE Survivor Series.

Her departures, driven by online harassment over her size and in-ring style, reflect the broader mental-health toll social media pressures can exert on athletes.

4. Dash Wilder

Dash Wilder (now known as Cash Wheeler) quietly removed his Twitter presence in February 2020 amid contract negotiations with WWE.

Unlike his tag partner Scott Dawson, Wilder opted for complete digital silence rather than publicly debate his future, only reactivating his account after leaving WWE for AEW in May 2020.

3. Shotzi

Former SmackDown superstar Shotzi deleted her Twitter account in July 2022 after facing severe online abuse following a few botched spots in the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.

She later explained via Instagram that the relentless negativity and her own personal challenges made Twitter detrimental to her mental health.

2. Chelsea Green

Former WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green announced on July 25, 2025, that she would take a hiatus from her X account after receiving death threats and harassment over her comments on Hulk Hogan’s passing.

I’ve tried to keep my page positive and comedic, but today, a lot changed… and it hit harder than I expected. The name calling, the death threats, the faceless accounts. Social media was supposed to be a fun place and it hasn’t been for a while. It’s been overwhelming and I…

Green emphasized that the “name calling, the death threats, the faceless accounts” made the platform unbearably overwhelming.

1. Mick Foley

WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley permanently deactivated his Twitter account in October 2022, citing an increasingly toxic atmosphere following Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform.

Foley described feeling like he was “swimming in a pool full of turds” and decided it was time to “get out of the water” rather than continue dodging negativity.

Why do WWE stars leave Twitter instead of ignoring trolls?

Many cite coordinated harassment campaigns and personal threats that go far beyond ordinary criticism, making the platform unsafe for normal fan engagement.

Does WWE support wrestlers who quit social media?

Yes. WWE generally respects talent decisions to step away for mental-health or safety reasons and does not penalize them for deactivating accounts.

Do any of these stars plan to return to Twitter?

Some, like Mick Foley, have hinted at future comebacks, while others, such as Chelsea Green and Shotzi, view their departures as temporary breaks and may return when they feel ready.
