5 Current WWE Superstars who are godparents to fellow wrestlers children

WWE Superstars form close-knit relationships whilst working together for the company. Many of these friendships continue for several years after their association with the wrestling business comes to an end.

Fellow superstars play a huge role in the careers of their peers and this has led to many of them naming their best friends as the godparents to their children.

Many WWE legends have left the business and started a family, whilst others have been able to juggle family life whilst on the road. It's become clear that these stars want some of the current crop of talent looking after their children if anything were to happen to them in the future.

The following list looks at just five current WWE Superstars who have been named godparents to fellow wrestlers' children:

#5. Shelton Benjamin is the godfather to fellow WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar's two oldest children

Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar have been close friends since college, the two men were part of a tag team in OVW and at one point even lived together.

Whilst Benjamin has been able to become a household name for his contributions to tag team wrestling, he has watched his best friend become one of the biggest superstars in the world and continued to cheer him on from the sidelines.

Whilst Lesnar and Benjamin have never been able to team together on WWE TV and reveal their chemistry to the world, the two men have always been close outside of the ring.

Lesnar and Shelton have been friends for so long that when The Beast Incarnate welcomed his twins with fiancee Nicole McClain back in 2002, he announced that the former Tag Team Champion would be their godfather.

Mya Lynn and Luke are now almost 20 years old and they have had Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar looking out for them for the past two decades.

Brock himself has gone on to become the stepfather to his current wife Sable's daughter Mariah, as well as welcoming two more children since his relationship with Nicole came to an end more than 15 years ago.

#4. Current WWE Superstar Lita is the godmother to Trish Stratus' son Maximus

Trish Stratus and Lita defined a generation in WWE. The two women have remained close friends outside of the ring ever since. Stratus retired from WWE at Unforgiven in September 2006. Just two months later, her best friend Lita followed her out the door at Survivor Series the same year.

Stratus went on to start a family following her retirement and announced back in 2013 that she was expecting her first child. Her son Maximus was born a few months later and the former seven-time women's champion announced that Lita was the godmother to her firstborn child.

Stratus has since gone on to welcome a daughter, whom she called Madison, but it's unclear if Lita has also been named as her godmother.

The two women have made several returns over the years, with Lita recently being announced for the upcoming Women's Royal Rumble. The Extreme Diva also made her return on SmackDown this past week.

Trish hasn't followed the former Women's Champion back to the company this time, but it's likely that she could be kept as a surprise for the Royal Rumble instead.

#3. Current WWE announcer Pete Rosenberg is the godfather to Brie Bella's son Buddy

Pete Rosenberg has been signed to WWE for more than five years and has been serving as a pre-show panelist ahead of the company's Premium Live Events.

The radio host is also a one-time 24/7 Champion and appears to have some famous friends in his phone book.

One of those friends is WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella, who recently welcomed her second child and first son. The former Divas Champion welcomed Buddy back in 2020 and recently noted publicly that she was going to make Pete Rosenberg the godfather of her son because she loved his show so much.

"My sister and I, in the last decade, have really worked hard to not only contribute to the division, but also, in the mainstream world, for people to recognize the hard work and how special women wrestlers are. People don’t think we feel that way, that we don’t see something so special, but you have no idea. Nikki and I just, everyday we try hard to make people recognize that women wrestlers are probably the most powerful beings on Earth (honestly, we really are). Peter, I love you. You know what? Maybe you should be the godfather of Bryan and our baby? I think that’d be amazing. We don’t have godparents yet... Nikki could be a godmother, and then you could be a godfather. Yeah... I think so."

Rosenberg was obviously overwhelmed by Brie's announcement and took to Twitter to respond, where he opted for the words "OMG."

#2. WWE legend The Undertaker is the godfather to Booker T's twins Kennedy and Kendrick

The Undertaker retired from WWE after more than three decades at the helm of the company back in 2020. Whilst The Deadman is no longer a face that's regularly seen on TV, he is still signed to the company. It was well-documented that the future Hall of Famer signed a lucrative 15-year deal back in 2020.

The Deadman has had many close friends throughout his lengthy career, but it appears that two-time Hall of Famer Booker T was one of his closest.

The former champion named The Undertaker and his wife Michelle McCool as the godparents to his fraternal twins Kendrick and Kennedy when they were born in 2010. This was whilst both the Undertaker and Michelle were still active, but just after the couple had married.

McCool and Taker went on to welcome their own child, a daughter in 2012 whom they called Kaia Faith. The Deadman also has two daughters named Casey and Gracie from his second marriage to Sara Frank as well as a son called Gunner with his first wife Jodie Lynn.

#1. Current WWE star Paul Heyman is the godfather to Brock Lesnar's two sons

Paul Heyman is one of the best-known stars in WWE, the former special counsel of Roman Reigns recently made a career switch. He is now back to being the advocate for Brock Lesnar.

The bond between Lesnar and Heyman is one that even Roman Reigns wouldn't be able to break since the duo have been together for the best part of Lesnar's career.

Heyman and the current WWE Champion are such close friends both inside and outside of the ring that Brock Lesnar names his advocate as the godfather of his youngest two children. Lesnar has two sons called Duke and Turk from his marriage with Sable and The Beast Incarnate decided that Heyman should be the man to watch over them.

The two men have stood side-by-side throughout Lesnar's rise through the ranks in the wrestling business. It appears that The Beast Incarnate wants to ensure that his two youngest sons have the same stability in their lives growing up.

Lesnar's sons were born in 2009 and 2010 and could be looking to follow in their father's footsteps in the not-so-distant future. As already noted, Shelton Benjamin is the godfather to Brock Lesnar's two older children.
