10 Current WWE Superstars who are surprisingly real-life friends 

WWE Superstars spend a lot of time on the road away from their family and their usual circle of friends. This means that wrestlers are forced to make new friends with the people that they are regularly surrounded by and this then leads to some interesting friendships.

While life-long friends are often made when WWE puts two stars together in a storyline much like Bayley and Sasha Banks or even Triple H and Shawn Michaels, others are much more surprising.

The following list looks at just ten current WWE Superstars who are surprisingly friends outside of the ring.

#5. Former World Champion Sheamus and WWE COO Triple H

10 years ago, @WWESheamus was the “new kid.”And now he’s tearing down the house with the “new kid” @SuperKingofBros at #WrestleMania!Congratulations to the NEW #USTitle Champion!!! https://t.co/DCg7f4sI97

On the surface, this friendship does seem like a surprising one since Triple H is one of the authority figures in WWE, whilst Sheamus is still an active performer.

The two men have shared the ring on numerous occasions, including a brutal Street Fight for the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber in 2010.

It was the year before their feud as part of WWE programming that the two heavyweights first became friends. When Sheamus was drafted over to RAW, The Game noticed that he didn't have many friends on the red brand and asked him to come and work out with him.

Sheamus noted as part of an appearance on After The Bell last year that his friendship with Triple H turned the WWE locker room against him.

"I went to the gym once or twice, maybe two or three times we had a workout and then apparently I was Triple H's workout buddy. I got blasted by everybody who was in contact with dirt sheets saying I was up HHH's a**, and I was a kiss a**. No matter what I did in the first couple years achievement wise, it was blacklisted, and they said I only got that because he is up HHH' a**. I was busting my bal** doing five or six shows a week. I was driving to shows I didn't have to be just to go there and learn. I was going to FCW when I could have been sitting at home to keep learning. None of that mattered. The only thing people saw was I was a kiss a**. Right off the bat, it was boom!"

Despite feedback from the WWE Universe and his fellow superstars, Sheamus has remained close friends with Triple H. The former world champion has also remained one of the company's biggest stars over the past decade.

#4. WWE Superstars Ricochet and Reginald

Reginald began his WWE career on the NXT brand before being promoted to SmackDown as Carmella's sommelier. In recent months, the star has found his way over to Monday Night RAW and is now embroiled in a storyline alongside Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, and Alexa Bliss.

The move over to RAW has also allowed Reginald to link up with Ricochet and even though the two stars are yet to cross paths on WWE TV, they have become close friends outside of the ring.

Ricochet and Reginald have their athleticism in common and often share videos and images on TikTok and Instagram of them fooling around alongside Major League Wrestling star EJ “The Judge” Nduka.

In recent months, the duo have shared several videos online that show them hanging out together outside of WWE shows. Given their impressive athleticism, and some of the stunts that these two stars can pull off, it would be interesting to see if the two stars are given the chance to face off in the ring.

#3. Current WWE Superstars Corey Graves and Baron Corbin

Corey Graves and Baron Corbin started their WWE careers together at FCW and have been close friends ever since.

The two stars are currently split across WWE brands after Graves was moved back to Monday Nights following WrestleMania, but the two stars have remained close.

Whilst the duo is not one of the company's most well-known friendships, they have shared some interesting stories regarding their relationship, including the fact that the duo once spent Thanksgiving together when they were alone in town.

Graves revealed that this Thanksgiving fell just after Corbin had got a minion tattoo on his foot and he decided that it was a good idea to hit him as hard as he could on the freshly tattooed area.

This is obviously something that only Corbin's closest friend could get away with, since it was noted that this was perhaps the most pain that the former king had ever been in. Corbin also noted that he still owes Graves a receipt from that slap.

#2. Current WWE SmackDown Superstars Angelo Dawkins and Sami Zayn

Angelo Dawkins and Sami Zayn were both recruits at WWE's Performance Center back in 2012.

Dawkins and Zayn were put together by WWE and later became roommates and travel buddies. At the time, Dawkins had no experience in the wrestling business, whilst Zayn had come over to WWE following a successful stint on the Indy circuit as El Generico.

Dawkins recently appeared on WWE's The Bump where he revealed his friendship with Sami Zayn.

“So I met Sami when we tried out in the week and they said ‘hey, you guys are gonna be together,’ so we ended up getting a rental car together. So the first time I met Sami I’m walking and I don’t even know what he looks like at this time so I’m trying to find out how I can get in contact with him and I’m one of the only dudes who is pretty big walking through the airport at that point in time.”

The two stars currently work alongside each other on SmackDown and whilst it's commonly known that Dawkins and Montez Ford are best friends, Dawkins and Zayn have also remained close friends.

#1. Former WWE World Champion Seth Rollins and Bayley

It's been well-documented throughout Bayley's WWE career that the star is close friends with fellow SmackDown Superstar Sasha Banks in real life.

The two women have been part of some deeply personal feuds in recent years, but it appears that The Boss isn't the only WWE star that Bayley is close to outside of the company.

Bayley and Seth Rollins have been good friends for a number of years and have become CrossFit training buddies. The two stars regularly share images on Instagram following training sessions that show that they know how to put each other through their paces.

Bayley and Rollins are both heels in WWE at present and reside on SmackDown, which has allowed them to share some screen time recently when The Drip King appeared on Bayley's talk show, entitled Ding Dong, Hello!

The two stars showed that they have real chemistry on-screen throughout the segment, and could now lead to some further interactions between their two characters on SmackDown in the future.
