7 AEW stars who have interesting hobbies

AEW is working hard to build some megastars on its promotion. The wrestlers who work for the promotion come from different backgrounds.

#7. AEW star Sammy Guevara loves vlogging

AEW TNT Champion Sammy Guevara is enjoying his time in the company after his first major title victory. He’s proven his talent on several occasions and has a bright future in the wrestling world ahead of him.

Behind the scenes, Sammy enjoys making videos. It’s a hobby that has helped him start his own YouTube channel. He focuses a lot on vlogging and comedy after his work for AEW is over:

"Outside of wrestling, my interest is just making videos in general. Maybe later on in life, I'll be an editor or help make movies. I have always liked making videos and getting cool angles and things like that. Editing is always a pain when starting, but once I got into the process, I fell in love with it. It's therapeutic in a way. You feel like you're creating something,” said Guevara

Sammy has also revealed that he likes making short videos but would love to make a movie later.

"I like short stuff because I think our attention spans are small. I would love to one day make a movie in some aspect. I always thought of being on camera but after this past year with the vlog, I found that I really enjoy behind-the-scenes stuff and trying to help come up with the skits. That's an aspect I never knew I would like,” Sammy added

The AEW star has used his creativity to build an identity outside the ring. His hefty fan following on YouTube reflects his popularity.

#6. AEW star Ruby Soho built a farm after her WWE release

Former WWE Superstar Ruby Soho is looking to reach the top of AEW quickly. After her release from the company, she released some interesting vignettes ahead of her arrival in Tony Khan's company.

After being released by WWE, Ruby had a 90-day no-compete clause to wait out. She picked up a new surprising hobby during that time and built a farm. That's not all, as she also got a few horses to live her childhood dream.

"I built a farm. I have three horses. I've wanted horses since I was a kid. Basically, the one thing that you would expect me not to have, like the lifestyle that you expect me not to live, is the lifestyle I actually live,” Ruby said.

Many fans would already know that Liv Morgan and former WWE Superstar Sarah Rowe have also built their farms. The AEW star decided to follow in their footsteps to maintain her mental health.

Here's what Soho said:

“Sarah Rowe actually started it and then she kind of spread the farm bug to all of us. I really focused on my mental health a lot during that time.”

Farming is not easy, but it can have benefits in the longer run. Ruby is looking to build her farm and her wrestling career at the same time after signing with AEW.

#5. Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega loves video games and anime

Former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega is widely regarded as the most outstanding wrestler of our generation.

Over the years, Omega has showcased his different talents to his fans. Outside of wrestling, 'The Cleaner' has a few exciting hobbies, including video games and anime.

CBR caught up with the AEW star ahead of FunimationCon 2020 to discuss various things, including his hobbies.

“I toss my name into almost anything I have an interest or passion for. I have a lot of interests. And as you know, a lot of those interests outside of wrestling include video games and anime. Boku no Hero Academia is one of my favorite series in recent memory that has emerged onto the anime and manga scene. So when I really do love something I always tell anyone who's willing to listen, 'Hey, if there's any opportunity to work with this, I'm there.' Whether I'm the most suitable person for the job or not, if I can just be involved, I want to do what I can if my schedule allows for it,” Omega said.

He added that living in Japan further boosted his interest in gaming and anime. He is frequently invited to events circling his interests.

“So it's a cool hybrid of two of my most intense passions outside of professional wrestling, which are anime and video games, so I'm living a good life right now," Kenny Omega said.

Omega is one of the biggest names in AEW today. His appearances at various pop culture-related events will help the company increase its popularity.

#4. AEW star Bryan Danielson enjoys gardening

Bryan Danielson moved from WWE to AEW this year. As one of the global megastars, he has proven himself to be the best on many occasions.

Bryan is a hard-hitting wrestler inside the ring, but he is a relaxed guy outside of it. According to those who've worked with him, Bryan's favorite hobby is gardening.

In an edition of the Oral Sessions Podcast, Renee Paquette told her guest Ruby Soho to pick Danielson's brain when it comes to ideas about gardening. She noted that the AEW star even considered joining a horticulture school at one point.

"You should pick Bryan Danielson's brain about what to grow out there because he is the garden guy. I think at one point he was even considering going into like horticulture school, is that even what you call it? I feel like that's a thing. We'll get him on the show at some point and I need to talk to him about that because he is the green thumb from what I understand, from what Brie has told me, so we'll look into that," Renee Paquette said.

Bryan Danielson has a rather unique hobby compared to the other AEW stars on this list. His social media often gets updated with pictures of his garden.

#3. Former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley prefers physical and outdoor activities

Jon Moxley recently decided to take a break from AEW to focus on his health. The former AEW World Champion has done well to spread the new promotion’s name across the world.

Mox is known to be a very private individual on the wrestling circuit. Many details of his personal life only surfaced after his marriage to Renee Paquette.

In an interview with Bleacher Report, Moxley spoke about his interests outside of the squared circle. The AEW star prefers outdoor and physical activities.

"My biggest problem is that I don't like video games. That's what I should do, but my problem is all of my hobbies are physical things. I like mountain biking, hiking, jiu-jitsu. I like all of these things that beat your body up. That's how I relax. I like getting outdoors," Jon Moxley said.

AEW fans are hoping to see Moxley perform in the ring again soon. He is one of the most prominent stars in the company and has a bright future ahead of him.

#2. Scuba diving is AEW star Adam Cole's favorite hobby

After enjoying a successful career in WWE NXT, Adam Cole signed with AEW. The Panama City Playboy is well known for his work in the ring and on the mic.

Outside of wrestling, the AEW newcomer has a fascinating hobby. Speaking to Evolve Wrestling nearly a decade ago, Cole revealed that he loves to go scuba diving in his free time:

“Other than exercise and watching wrestling tapes to better my craft, scuba diving has got to be my favorite hobby. It's a place to escape and just be part of a whole other world," Cole said.

Scuba diving is a rather interesting hobby. It takes a lot of physical and emotional training to perfect the art of scuba diving.

Cole has just started his career in AEW, where he is an integral part of The Elite. He will likely become one of the top men in the company in the years to come.

#1. AEW star CM Punk writes comics

CM Punk decided to revive his wrestling career earlier this year and sign with AEW. The former WWE Superstar has shown the world that he still has a lot left in the tank despite a seven-year-long absence.

Outside of wrestling, Punk loves reading comic books and watching movies. He has also starred in a few horror movies over the past few years.

Marvel has given the AEW star the chance to co-write a few comics, including a Drax series. Appearing on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Punk revealed that he enjoys writing comics in his free time as a hobby and would continue to do so once he gets some time off wrestling.

"Marvel has never asked me to do anything creator-owned, but I have had other companies… there's a standing offer out there so I can do creator-owned books. I just don't, especially now, have the time… but it's always in the back of my head... It was fun, but writing is a different kind of pressure and I don't do well with deadlines. I'm positive I'll do more and I'll get back to it, but right now it's a little busy; I have more than one job, and it's a little tough," CM Punk said.

It’s good to know that CM Punk might become a full-time comic writer once his wrestling career comes to an end.
