#3. AEW star Tay Conti went to the same school as Brazilian footballer Philippe Coutinho

AEW wrestler Tay Conti is now a well-known name in her own right, but also rubbed shoulders with a pretty big future star. In 2020, the wrestler revealed that she went to school with former Liverpool star and current Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho.

Conti, who was a gifted athlete during her school days, reacted to a picture shared from another account of the wrestler with a young curly-haired Coutinho. When he was a few years Conti's senior, the two hung out as friends and were part of a special school for athletes. Coutinho was part of the youth set-up at Brazilian football club Vasco de Gama while Tay was busy training as a judoka. Both have gone on to achieve stardom in two very different sports.
