5 WWE Superstars who were best man at fellow wrestlers' weddings 

A number of WWE Superstars have gotten married in recent years as they opted to settle down and start a family.

Earlier, starting a family would mean retiring from the business, but this is no longer the case since many current and former stars have been able to take time away and make their timely return to wrestling.

Weddings are always something worth celebrating, and whilst several superstars have included many members of the WWE locker room in their weddings, there are several others who have made their best friends their best man as well.

The following list looks at just five WWE Superstars who were the best man at a fellow star's wedding.

#5. Sheamus was the best man at former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre's wedding

Drew McIntyre and Sheamus were recently part of a feud on WWE TV where it was made clear that the two men were close friends outside of the ring.

McIntyre and Sheamus were both part of the independent circuit in the United Kingdom at the same time and were able to form quite the bond whilst working together in WWE.

This bond became apparent back in 2016 when Drew McIntyre married his second wife Kaitlyn Frohnapfel in St Petersburg, Florida. As part of his recent feud with The Irish star, McIntyre was able to confirm to Sports Illustrated that Sheamus was the best man at his second wedding.

“I met Sheamus when I was 19. We exaggerated the truth on RAW with the chest and the sword, but our history is real. He’s known my family for so long that he’s one of us, and he was the best man at my wedding,” Drew McIntyre said. [H/T Wrestling-World]

Fellow 3MB member Jinder Mahal was also on hand for McIntyre's wedding since he was reportedly one of the groomsmen. McIntyre's first marriage to fellow WWE Superstar Tiffany ended in divorce back in 2011 after less than a year. The former champion went on to meet Kaitlyn a few years later and the couple have now been married for almost six years.

#4. Jey Uso was the best man for his brother Jimmy's wedding to fellow superstar Naomi

Jimmy Uso and Naomi made their relationship public when they first began appearing on Total Divas together.

The couple were later able to stream their wedding to the WWE Universe as part of the show in 2014 and Jimmy was able to ensure that his brother Jey was a main part of the action.

As noted from all of the pictures and from the show itself, Jey Uso was chosen to be his brother's best man for what was considered to be the most important day of his life. He was there to ensure that everything ran as smoothly as possible for his brother.

Jey and Jimmy are twins and rely on each other both inside and outside of the ring so it makes sense that Jimmy would call upon his twin to be in his corner for his wedding.

The couple opted to marry in Hawaii in what was a beautiful ceremony, with their closest friends and family in attendance.

#3. Gene Okerlund was the best man for fellow WWE Superstar Iron Sheik in 1976

WWE Superstars being seen as close friends both inside and outside the ring isn't something that's new to the current generation. Some interesting close-knit friendship groups have been made throughout WWE history and the surprising friendship between Mean Gene Okerlund and Iron Sheik led to the star asking him to be his best man at his wedding back in 1976.

The former WWF World Heavyweight Champion married Caryl J. Peterson on March 2, 1976. It was Mean Gene who was in control of the day and was there to ensure that everything went ahead without any kind of issue.

The happy couple are still together to this day and now have two daughters and five grandchildren. After Gene's passing back in 2019, Sheik posted the above message on his Twitter account where he confirmed that the former WWE personality was always there for him and even sang and danced at his wedding more than forty years ago.

#2. Vince McMahon was the best man at his son Shane McMahon's wedding

Vince McMahon isn't just the Chairman of WWE, he is also the father of Stephanie and Shane McMahon, who have both also been seen as Superstars at some point in their careers.

Vince and Shane have always had a close bond, something that was made clear when Shane married his childhood sweetheart Marissa Mazzola back in 1996. Shane only had one man that he wanted to be in his corner on the biggest day of his life, and that was his father Vince.

McMahon and his wife have now been married for almost three decades and in that time, they have welcomed three sons. The three boys - Declan James, Kenyon Jesse, and Rogan Henry - have been seen on WWE TV several times.

Shane and Vince have had a strained relationship regarding the wrestling business in recent years, but this proves that at one point the male members of the McMahon family had the closest possible bond.

#1. Angelo Dawkins was the best man for Montez Ford's wedding to fellow superstar Bianca Belair

Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford have been close friends throughout their WWE careers.

As part of a recent interview with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, Montez Ford revealed that Dawkins was the first person that he spoke to at WWE's Performance Center after he signed for the company.

The former Tag Team Champion also went on to note that Dawkins is now his best friend and the duo are so close that he asked him to be the best man at his wedding to Bianca Belair back in 2018.

''He was actually the first person I met when I came to the Performance Center. He was my best man at my wedding. He’s going to get married soon, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be his best man. But it’s a real relationship off camera and [on] camera," said Ford.

It will be interesting to see if Dawkins returns the favor and asks Ford to be the best man at his upcoming wedding.
