The wrestling industry has had many ups and downs and the business has seen several changes. The most visible of these changes have been in the roster, be it AEW WWE NJPW, or any other company. Wrestlers who were on the roster of one particular wrestling promotion routinely move on to a different locker room.
In some cases, even if they move on, some of them still share a strong bond. Here's a list of some of the most popular wrestlers who have retained their friendship throughout the years.
