Wayne Rooney caused a stir at the wrestling on Monday night when he slapped WWE star Wade Barrett in what’s believed to be a stunt.

The United skipper was taunted by Lancashire-born wrestler Barrett who’s had a feud with Rooney dating back to a twitter spat last year.

After Rooney taunted Irish wrestler Sheamus, Barret got involved by confronting the England star and prodding him in the chest.

Rooney wasn’t impressed and responded with a slap which had Barrett theatrically falling to the floor as the crowd went wild at the Manchester Arena.
