3 WWE Superstars who wrestled their fathers, and 2 who wrestled their mothers

#4 Debbie Combs (wrestled her mother, Cora Combs)

Not much is known about Debbie Combs, who had a very short stint with WWE back in the 80s. Debbie's 1986-87 WWE run saw her take on The Fabulous Moolah in four contests. She managed to score a win over Moolah in the first, via a countout. Unfortunately, she lost the next three matches to Moolah and this was it for her in terms of a WWE career.

Debbie vs Cora Combs:

Debbie teamed up with her mother on a few occasions, Cora Combs, years before making her way to WWE. Interestingly, the duo wrestled each other as well. The incredibly rare clip embedded above shows Debbie and Cora taking on each other in the squared circle. The competitive match ends with Cora pinning her daughter to pick up the win, and the latter doesn't look too happy with the result. Debbie returned to WWE for another short run, and wrestled Alundra Blayze on Wrestling Challenge. She was set to compete with Blayze in a rematch at WrestleMania, but the spot went to Leilani Kai, who eventually lost the match at The Show of Shows. She later had a short run in WCW as well.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
