5 Current WWE stars that overcame difficult childhoods

#4 Edge

Edge is a former 11-time World Champion and recently was able to make his return to WWE after almost a decade on the sidelines, but sadly his mother Judy wasn't able to see her son return to the ring.

Edge's mother worked two jobs to support him whilst he was growing up and the star has revealed that he has never met or seen a picture of his father. Judy and Edge struggled whilst he was growing up and even though Edge dreamed of becoming a wrestler for the best part of his life, he had to put his dreams on hold to help pay the bills.

Edge has a degree in radio broadcasting, but he was forced to work numerous jobs to put himself through college. The former WWE Champion revealed in an emotional post on Instagram back in 2018 that his mother had passed away. The Rated R Superstar and his mother were close all his life and it was a huge hit for him to lose her before he could make his WWE return.
