5 WWE Superstars that you wouldn't believe are fathers 

Wrestling is a career that has a short shelf life, but it's also a career that can take years to make it to a big enough promotion to be able to make a living out of it. This means that many wrestlers are signed by WWE when they have already made a family and have to then leave them behind whilst they're on the road.

Whilst there are several mothers currently part of the main roster including Mickie James, Lacey Evans, Maria Kanellis, Tamina, and Stephanie McMahon there are also a number of fathers.

Many families are able to work their lives around WWE's exhausting travel schedule, to the point where many fans are actually unaware that these stars have a family outside of the ring.

5. Erick Rowan

Erick Rowan is currently part of an interesting storyline on WWE TV, which sees him hiding something interesting in his cage. Rowan has always been part of strange storylines on WWE TV since he debuted as part of the Wyatt Family and later became one half of The Bludgeon Brothers.

Despite the persona that Rowan delivers on WWE TV, he is a very different person outside of the ring, since the former Wyatt Family member is the father of two children. Rowan has been very private about his life outside of WWE since he likes to live his gimmick, but what is known about the Big Redwood is that he is married to a woman called Jamie Cole and the couple has two children together a son and a daughter.

Rowan doesn't mention his family on his Instagram page very often because he prefers to remain in character whenever he can.

4. Scott Dawson

The Revival have taken WWE's Tag Team Division by storm ever since they were formed in NXT and have since become Champions on all three brands. The Revival have recently been making headlines regarding their current WWE contracts since it's thought that Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder could be heading to AEW when their current contracts expire.

Even though Wilder and Dawson have become household names throughout their run in WWE, many fans are unaware that Scott Dawson makes many of his decisions based on the fact that he has a family waiting for him at home.

Outside of Dawson's Top Guy persona, he married Maria Nickopoulos back in 2012 and the couple later welcomed a daughter in 2014. Dawson updates Instagram posts with his daughter quite often and is happy to carry her bags for her when he needs to because he sees her as his princess.

The Revival recently Tweeted that they would be away for a while whilst their contract issues are resolved, it's hoped that this means that the two stars will re-sign with WWE and continue to push forward their tag team division.

3. Xavier Woods

Xavier Woods has a son outside of WWE

Xavier Woods is currently stuck on the sidelines following an Achilles injury at the end of 2019, but when he makes his return to the ring he will easily slot back into The New Day formation and continue to be one of the most entertaining members of the group.

Whilst many fans are aware that Xavier Woods is a huge gamer outside of WWE and owns the Up Up Down Down channel on Youtube, many of his hardcore fans may be unaware that he is also a father.

The former Tag Team Champion married Jess Watson back in 2015 and amidst a huge amount of controversy surrounding Xavier Woods back in 2017, his son was born. Much like many other WWE stars, Woods doesn't update about his family on Instagram and his wife left the social networking site a few years ago, which could be why many fans are unaware that he is a father.

Now that Woods could be out of the ring until 2021, he has quite a lot of time to spend with his son, since he does spend a lot of time on the road throughout the year.

Chad Gable is a former Olympian and a wrestler that has all of the skills to make it as a main event level star in WWE, but the King of the Ring runnerup, who's currently known as Shorty G seems to instead now be locked in a feud with Sheamus as the jokes about his height continue.

Gable has been training to be part of this business for the best part of his life, so many fans would be shocked to know that outside of the ring Chad Gable has three children.

The former American Alpha star married Kristi Oliver back in 2011 after the couple had been dating for more than nine years, together they have three children together. Gable has two daughters, the oldest called Clay, and Meadow Ann who was born back in January 2018.

Last year, Gable missed the invasions ahead of Survivor Series back in November because he was by his wife's side welcoming their first son which the couple called Charles. Gable tried to spend as much time with his large family as possible when he isn't on the road with WWE.

1. Mustafa Ali

Mustafa Ali is so proud of the little family he has created outside of WWE

Mustafa Ali has become one of the favorites to win the upcoming Royal Rumble match after a fantastic first year on WWE's main roster. Ali has been able to make the move from 205 Live over to SmackDown in recent months and has had stand out matches with many of the company's biggest stars.

Outside of the ring, Ali is a completely different person, since he met his wife back in 2010 and the couple opted to marry just a year later in January 2011. Together they have a son and a daughter but even though they like to keep information private about them, Ali often shares images of his family on Social Media.

The SmackDown star is obviously so proud of his little family and loves to share cute images like the one below on Instagram to show that outside of the ring his heart is just as big as it is when he's in the ring.
