5 Shocking WWE backstage traditions you didn't know about

#2. Shake everyone's hand

A handshake can go a long way in showing your respect in WWE.

The handshake has been around for a long time and dates back to the 5th Century BC when Greeks used it as a sign of respect, and to show they weren't carrying any hidden weapons.

In WWE, the handshake is still a sign of respect and is expected from as many Superstars as possible.

If you're a new rookie on your first day in the company, then you're expected to shake as many hands as possible to show your friendly attitude and humility.

Not shaking people's hands can give you a very bad reputation, though for some Superstars (we're looking at you Lesnar), this probably doesn't bother them that much.

But if you're not the Beast Incarnate who's making over half a million per match, we recommend a quick handshake and a friendly hello.
