Several main roster WWE Superstars have been close friends for the best part of their careers. Some of the greatest feuds over the past few years have been between best friends. Some of these stars were once so close that they shared a house.
It is well-known that the likes of Daniel Bryan and Shinsuke Nakamura were once roommates in their early careers. Another famous example is Shelton Benjamin sharing a house with Brock Lesnar when the two men were much younger. Several other current WWE stars once shared a house.
Many wrestlers are forced to move house when they first sign with WWE, so often roommates can help them to adjust from being away from home for the first time.
The following list looks at just a handful of WWE stars who have lived with fellow superstars at some point in their careers.
#5. Current WWE stars Tyler Breeze and Xavier Woods
There have been several articles written about The New Day and how close the three men have become over the years. However, it appears that it isn't Kofi Kingston or Big E that Xavier Woods once shared a house with.
Woods saved Tyler Breeze's WWE career at one point when he was put on the chopping block and told that he needed to reinvent himself. The current NXT star and Woods then spent 48 hours creating pitch ideas to prepare Breeze for a new character.
Prince Pretty has noted several times that the former Tag Team Champion was the brains behind the Tyler Breeze character which saved Breeze's career.
Of course, both Woods and Breeze are now married, with Woods also welcoming his first child in recent years. Much earlier in their wrestling careers, however, the two men were roommates alongside Viktor of The Ascension. The two men have shared quite the WWE journey together in recent years, beginning back in FCW.
At present, Breeze is currently surviving down in NXT alongside his long-time partner Fandango. Woods recently moved over to the RAW brand alongside Kofi Kingston after WWE decided it was time for Big E to begin a singles push.
#4. Mia Yim and WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler
Mia Yim and Shayna Baszler had a fantastic feud over the NXT Women's Championship a few years ago. Outside of WWE's spotlight, it appears that the two women are quite close. This could be why their feud seemed so personally motivated.
Alongside fellow WWE star and member of MMA's Four Horsewomen, Jessamyn Duke, Yim and Baszler were once roommates. They even kept their own animals in their shared accommodation.
The three women called themselves BRE which means Best Roommates Ever. They shared videos on YouTube where they were able to tell stories about themselves whilst out of character.
Yim hasn't been as successful as Shayna Baszler on the main roster over the past year. The former RETRIBUTION member was moved over to SmackDown following the group's split but recently had her debut canceled.
Hopefully, Baszler and Yim are able to stand across the ring from one another once again soon, it would be a fantastic way to re-ignite Yim's WWE career.
#3. Former WWE Tag Team Champion Angelo Dawkins and Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn and Angelo Dawkins were recently on opposite sides of a 10-man tag team match on WWE SmackDown. Outside of the ring, it appears that the two stars are very much on the same page.
Dawkins and Zayn were part of the same class at WWE's Performance Center. The two men were then put together by the company and went on to rent a car and even become roommates.
Dawkins recently revealed on WWE's The Bump that, at the time, he had no idea what Sami Zayn looked like. It was lucky then that Zayn introduced himself to the star first:
“So I met Sami when we tried out in the week and they said, "Hey, you guys are gonna be together,’ so we ended up getting a rental car together. So the first time I met Sami I’m walking and I don’t even know what he looks like at this time so I’m trying to find out how I can get in contact with him and I’m one of the only dudes who is pretty big walking through the airport at that point in time,” Dawkins said.
Both men are now performing on SmackDown and have recently welcomed new additions to their families.
#2 Current WWE stars Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa
Current WWE stars Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa had one of the greatest rivalries in the history of NXT a few years ago. The two men were once NXT Tag Team Champions until Ciampa believed that Gargano was set to replace him when he was injured. Ciampa attacked Gargano after the two men were unable to reclaim their titles from The Authors of Pain.
This led to an intense feud that lasted several months. Later on, it led to the two men being on the same page once more. The feud was built from the fact that the two already had a personal relationship. Ciampa was part of Gargano's wedding to Candice LeRae back in 2016 and, at one point, the two men even lived together.
Ciampa updated a Tweet after turning on Gargano, which has since been deleted, where he revealed that he had moved out of the house. It made sense with the WWE storyline at the time.
The two men were promoted to the main roster a few years ago, but following injury, they have since returned to NXT. They continue to be two of the biggest stars that Triple H has at his disposal.
#1. Former WWE Champions Sheamus and Drew McIntyre
Like several other stars on this list, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre recently stepped into a personal rivalry on WWE TV surrounding the WWE Championship. As part of the feud, it was revealed publicly that the two men had quite the history together. They had been friends for almost two decades.
Drew McIntyre went one further in a recent interview with Sirius XM's Busted Open, where he revealed that he basically lived at Sheamus's house in his early career:
"He was there during all the good times and obviously all the bad times and I wouldn't have gotten through a lot of them without him being there for me," McIntyre continued. "I literally lived in his house at one point. That's where we were at, at that point in my life. When I was fired and was still trying to find myself, I was living there and he was looking out for me. He's always been such a big brother for me."
Drew McIntyre came out on top in the feud between the two men. He could be looking to lift the WWE Championship once again this weekend at WrestleMania Backlash.
