WWE Superstars have been known to be best friends amongst each other. Traveling all those miles and wrestling all those nights builds strong relationships between superstars.

#5 on our list of WWE Superstars who are best friends - Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been best friends for 15 years

The duo from Montreal, Quebec, Canada were best friends before WWE. Together, they built up their names on the independent circuit, even winning tag titles in the process.

Sami Zayn was first signed to NXT in 2013, with Owens joining him the following year. His debut was marked with a vicious attack on Zayn. They have produced stellar matches with and against each other throughout the years.

In an interview, Owens spoke about his friendship with Sami Zayn, even calling him his brother.

"I would say that we are more like brothers than we are friends. You know you don’t choose your relatives, you don’t choose who your brother is, you don’t choose who your sister is, you don’t choose your family. You were born into a family. In this case, we weren’t born into each others families but we, from the start of our careers when we started wrestling on the independent scene in the U.S and even back home in Canada... Once we started getting our name out there and more recognized, people just booked us together all the time, and that wasn’t our choice,” Owens disclosed.

Owens is also notorious for trying to pull pranks on Sami. One such instance can be seen below:

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn's friendship is undoubtedly one that has lasted the test of time. In the future, they might become tag champions and emulate another Canadian duo, Edge and Christian.

#4 Seth Rollins and Cesaro are coffee lovers and best friends

Seth Rollins and Cesaro being best friends may come as a surprise to some. Given how close Reigns, Rollins, and Ambrose were onscreen, Rollins and Cesaro's friendship wasn't a secret.

Both are coffee lovers and are passionate about CrossFit. In an interview with WWE India last year, Seth Rollins named Cesaro as the person to induct him into the Hall of Fame.

"I think the natural instinct would be to say Roman (Reigns) or Dean (Ambrose). But my best friend in WWE is probably Cesaro. If you follow the crossfit videos, you can see us constantly working out together. We have been friends since long before WWE. So he might be the guy," Rollins said.

Rollins and Cesaro have a great bromance going for them, which is why it comes as no surprise that they have such great chemistry in the ring.

#3 Sheamus and Drew McIntyre are a pair of warrior best friends

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have been best friends for almost 20 years. Both hail from the UK, with the former being from Ireland and Drew from Scotland. Ironically, their nicknames are somewhat similar in a way.

Sheamus is The Celtic Warrior, while Drew is The Scottish Warrior. Both traveled throughout Europe's independent scene and eventually got signed to FCW.

During a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, McIntyre spoke about their journey to WWE.

"We started working together in Europe, wherever we could get our reps in. Eventually, we got signed together, came to America together, ended up in FCW together and still chasing the dream. The night I won the Intercontinental Title, he won the World Title. We were both sitting there like, ‘What is going on with life?' He was there for the good times and bad times. I wouldn’t get through a lot of them without him being there for me. He’s always been such a big brother for me," McIntyre said.

It is incredible to see Sheamus and McIntyre still succeeding together while keeping their friendship intact.

#2 Sasha Banks and Bayley are role models and best friends

Sasha Banks and Bayley being best friends is evident in and out of the ring. Their chemistry in the ring is effortless, producing stellar matches dating back to WWE NXT.

Despite being women's tag team champions together, they didn't become best friends from day one. Bayley shared how she and Sasha didn't immediately click:

“Well actually, as far as our personal friendship, that took longer than anything because we’re such different people,”

Bayley would go on to reveal how her friendship with Sasha developed.

"Once we started learning that we're both dorks who loved wrestling since we were 10 years old, and the way we grew up together, that's when it started being, 'Alright, she's kind of cool.' We kind of found our characters at the same time, so that was very helpful. When we had promos, we could use each other. We can be in each other's promos and help find each other, so, I'm so lucky. I couldn't have done that whole pandemic without anybody else.

Bayley and Sasha have found not only great success in NXT but also friendship. Hopefully, the former will return from her injury soon and reunite with The Boss.

#1 Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar are friends from their college days

Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin being best friends isn't a shocker if you've followed their careers. They met each other at the University of Minnesota, where they competed on the wrestling team.

After WWE approached the university, both Benjamin and Brock got signed to OVW. The latter was the company's developmental base before NXT. They worked as a tag team in OVW and lived together as well.

They got split as a tag team when they moved up to WWE's main roster. Although they don't spend as much together anymore because of their schedules, they still maintain their best friends status. Lesnar even named Benjamin as the godfather of his daughter Mya.
