There aren't many businesses as ruthless and unforgiving as pro wrestling. Over the years, we have heard stories of people taking advantage of others, and careers getting destroyed in the process. Be it promoters or wrestlers, one needs to always be on their toes to survive in this industry. This goes for everyone, no matter if it's WWE or the smallest of promotions.

This doesn't mean that everyone is a real-life heel in the world of pro wrestling. Thanks to the internet, fans have learned countless stories about WWE Superstars helping fellow wrestlers in real life. Be it career advice, relationship tips, or financial help, there have been a bunch of WWE Superstars who went out of their way to help other wrestlers. Let's take a look at five such wrestlers.

Back in 2002, Brock Lesnar had become the biggest Superstar on the WWE roster, following his WWE title win over The Rock at SummerSlam. Lesnar went on to feud with The Undertaker and came out victorious in the end. WWE officials asked Lesnar who he would like to face next, and The Beast mentioned Big Show.

Big Show stated that Lesnar went as far as slamming WWE's officials for ignoring his abilities, and told them that he would like to have a program with him. Big Show credits Brock Lesnar for his career resurgence, after being on the sideline for a long time. The duo went on to compete in a WWE title match at Survivor Series 2002, which saw Paul Heyman turning on Lesnar and helping Big Show defeat him. Big Show later lost the title to Kurt Angle, who in turn lost the belt to Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania 19.

#4 WWE legend John Cena acts as a mentor to Becky Lynch in her quest to make it big in Hollywood

Back in May, WWE Superstar Becky Lynch was announced for a cameo on Billions, a popular TV show. Around the same time, Becky sat down with TMZ and made an interesting revelation. The Man stated that WWE legend John Cena is mentoring her in her quest to have a successful career in Hollywood. Lynch stated that the WWE legend occasionally checks up on her, and is quite generous with his time. Lynch added that The Rock is helping her as well.

[The Rock has] actually he's been very helpful in guiding me.
Cena's also been so great to me and so generous with his time and his advice, checks up on me on what I'm doing now. I think everybody wants to see the next generation move to where they've been, ya know?!

Becky Lynch is hands down the most popular WWE Superstar of the modern era. Her rise to the main event of WrestleMania 35 is one of the most feel-good stories in the history of pro wrestling. Lynch was an afterthought going into WrestleMania 34 in 2018. But her career soon took a sudden turn at SummerSlam, and things only got better as WrestleMania 35 approached. Lynch has all the ingredients that one needs to make it big as an actor. It won't be a surprise if Lynch goes on to achieve success in Hollywood as well, and becomes one of the select few WWE Superstars who made it big as actors.

#3 WWE legend The Undertaker has some crucial relationship advice for Triple H

It goes without saying that Triple H and The Undertaker are two of the biggest Superstars in WWE history. They have done it all to warrant Hall of Fame careers, and have held WWE World title gold on several occasions. The two are incredibly close in real life. In fact, The Undertaker helped Triple H with his personal issues back in the day. He had some sound advice for Triple H when the latter began dating Stephanie McMahon.

When Steph and I got together and started to have a relationship, the guy I talked to about it was Taker. He was one of the most supportive guys of it. He was like, ‘Sc**w everybody and their opinions. You know what you bring to the table and so do I. If they don’t like it, that’s their problem.

Triple H and Stephanie dated for a long time, before finally tying the knot in late 2003. Stephanie was written off WWE TV mere days before the wedding, and she wasn't featured as an on-screen character for the next two years or so. The Undertaker and Triple H have collided in the ring on countless occasions, but they are incredibly good friends in real life, and the above instance only solidifies that fact.

#2 Former WWE Champion Chris Jericho provides financial help to a string of wrestlers

There have been many wrestlers who weren't wise with their finances, while others simply didn't earn enough. On the other hand, there were WWE Superstars like Chris Jericho who made a ton of money and were generous enough to help fellow wrestlers in need. The former WWE Champion donated a handsome amount of $1,500 to pay for former WCW star Brian Knobbs' medical bills, back in 2019.

Jericho helped several other wrestlers who were in a financial crunch. He paid $3,000 to cover the medical expenses of former WWE Superstar Rico Constantino. Jerry Lynn, Kamala, and Buffalo Brothers are a few more wrestlers who received aid from Jericho. The AEW star once donated $500 for the medical bills of a sick cat, named Jax. It won't be a stretch when one dubs Chris Jericho as one of the nicest persons in all of pro wrestling. He has helped fellow wrestlers in the time of need when no one had expected him to or forced him to do so.

WWE Hall of Famers Scott Hall and Jake "The Snake" Roberts made a bunch of lifestyle choices back in the day, that they later regretted. Issues with alcohol and drugs marred the career of both men at one point, and fans were genuinely scared for their well-being. Former WWE/WCW wrestler Diamond Dallas Page came to their rescue, with his DDP Yoga program.

DDP invited both these wrestlers in his home to stay with him and undergo rehab via DDP Yoga. As time passed, both men began seeing improvements. Eventually, Roberts and Hall moved out of DDP's "Accountability Crib" after improving their lives. Both Scott Hall and Jake Roberts were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014. While Kevin Nash inducted Hall, DDP inducted Roberts. Fans inside the building and watching at home knew that Roberts and Hall were alive and well because of DDP's efforts towards saving them. DDP has saved many others using his DDP Yoga service. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2017.
