#2. Jon Moxley laughs off his jitters

Jon Moxley is one of the most unhinged pro wrestlers in the world today. His intense work rate and personality make him seem like a lunatic (pardon the pun).

It's no surprise that Moxley has a strange pre-match ritual in sync with his character. He revealed that before stepping into the squared circle, he jokes around and laughs loudly.

According to the former Dean Ambrose, he laughs off his nervousness even when nothing funny is happening. This helps him calm down and do what he does best.


#1. John Cena invokes Lady Luck

John Cena is one of the greatest WWE Superstar of all time. He has practiced many pre-match rituals throughout his career, ranging from eating Tic Tacs to drinking water from his colleagues’ bottles.

However, one has been a constant throughout Cena’s time in WWE: Him knocking on wood every time he's set to enter the ring. The Leader of the Cenation is a superstitious man and takes this particular ritual pretty seriously.

Cena does this before every match. He hits the turnbuckle to knock on wood after stepping into the ring. In fact, on closer observation, one can see that the 16-time world champion always hits the turnbuckle before landing any of his other moves.

Given his stellar success and achievements in WWE, it's safe to say that whatever luck he invoked over the years was answered in kind.
