These WWE Superstars enjoy the beautiful game of football

#3 Fandango (WWE NXT) - Everton F.C.

Fandango has his heart in the Goodison Park

WWE NXT superstar Fandango is a huge football fan, and he supports the English club Everton Football Club. As an Everton fan, Fandango has a soft spot for Goodison Park and the blue half of Merseyside. He backs the Toffees, who are also one of the oldest clubs in English top-flight history. They have five FA Cup victories to their name amidst several other domestic accolades.

Everton also had a great start to the 2020-21 season. They are currently level on points with their local rivals Liverpool but are placed seventh owing to goal difference. Carlo Ancelotti’s men have their eyes set on the prize and will look to qualify for European competitions before the season ends.

Everton still have an advantage as they have a game left in hand. Fandango must have high hopes from his team, and he would be glad to see the Toffees beating big opponents in the league. Another WWE Superstar, Daniel Bryan, also shares Fandango’s interest in Everton. However, the latter has openly admitted that he doesn’t follow the sport as much.
