5 Times WWE used Superstars' real children in storylines 

Over the years, WWE has tried to burst the bubble around professional wrestling - and the 'kayfabe' inside it - by making storylines very personal. Whilst many storylines, like Matt Hardy and Edge, were based on real-life incidents, there are others that have used real-life members of the same family.

In the past, the spouse is usually the best option when WWE is looking to make a storyline personal but there have been a handful of times when the company has decided to involve the children as well.

Children are unpredictable, which could be why they are not used as much as wives and husbands, but when they are, it definitely brings an interesting dynamic to the story and has fans questioning just how real this feud actually is.

#5 Troy (Roderick Strong and Marina Shafir)

Anyone who has been watching NXT over the past few weeks will know that Velveteen Dream has made his return to the company and even though it was the whole on Undisputed Era who took him out backstage, Roderick Strong was the main target for him at first.

This included bring his wife Marina Shafir and their son Troy into the storyline, so much so that when Dream returned on an episode of NXT, he revealed his ring attire with the faces of Roderick Strong's wife and son and "Call me up Marina" etched on the back.

Strong took this personally, but it isn't the first time Troy has been brought into an NXT storyline, since Strong was able to share his life story with the crowd a few years ago when Troy was still a newborn and he was seen a number of times in backstage segments. It appears that by the time Troy is old enough to wrestle he will be in a WWE ring.

#4 Monroe Sky (Maryse and The Miz)

Monroe Sky was always going to make a cameo appearance on WWE TV since the company allowed Maryse to announce her pregnancy to the world a few years ago, and now Monroe is often seen on Miz and Mrs.

At the end of 2019, heading into TLC, The Miz decided to pick a fight with The Fiend after the assault that he witnessed when Wyatt kidnapped Daniel Bryan. The Miz decided to speak up for his fallen rival and this began some mind games that The A-Lister wasn't prepared for.

On one episode of SmackDown, The Miz wasn't in attendance, instead opting to have an interview in his house. The home was infiltrated by The Fiend when he found a way past all of Miz's security and into Monroe's bedroom where she was playing in her crib.

When Maryse and Miz found their daughter a few minutes later she was playing with a female Fiend doll and didn't seem phased by her parent's fears that Wyatt had been near their oldest child.

#3 Nicholas (John Cone)

John Cone is one of WWE's senior referees, someone who is always in plain sight on WWE TV, but back at WrestleMania 34, he was pushed into the focus of the WWE Universe when his son Nicholas was chosen to partner Braun Strowman at the Grandest Stage Of Them All.

Rather than go it alone, Strowman decided to choose a child from the crowd and 10-year-old Nicholas was waiting to be chosen (at random) and he then stood on the apron as Strowman won the Championships and he was then given one of them to defend.

The next night on RAW, Nicholas had to announce that he was going back to school and had to concentrate on his education so he wouldn't be able to defend the titles with Strowman moving forward.

This meant that WWE's youngest ever Champion was forced to vacate the titles just a day after he won them, but he has been seen making cameos on WWE's Social Media over the past few years and he could be hoping to return and reclaim his titles in the near future when he no longer has to worry about school.

#2 Summer (Lacey Evans)

Lacey Evans has never tried to keep her daughter a secret, but during her time in NXT, Summer would be on the road with The Sassy Southern Belle and would go to bed whilst her mother was preparing to wrestle at live events.

Since her move to the main roster, Evans hasn't had to hide the fact that her daughter often travels with her, since Summer was recently made a part of the storyline between Evans and Sasha Banks.

Bayley and Banks have been pushing to make it clear that Evans shouldn't be both a Superstars and mother and a few weeks ago on SmackDown the duo even beat down Evans in front of her daughter, who attempted to come to her mother's aid at one point.

It was a fantastic way of getting Evans over as a much bigger face, but now the storyline between the three women has come to an end, it's unknown if the WWE Universe will be seeing Summer as part of any other storyline in WWE in the future.

#1 Dominick (Rey Mysterio)

There are still members of the WWE Universe to this day that believe that Eddie Guerrero is the father of Rey's son, Dominick. This is down to the excellent storytelling from Eddie, Rey Mysterio, and Dominick throughout their feud, which came to an end in a ladder match at SummerSlam back in 2005.

Mysterio recently revealed that Dominik was bribed to be part of the storyline and was then able to act out all of the parts he needed with his uncle Eddie quite well. The story became very personal, very quickly and it was only ended when Mysterio was the man who was able to climb the ladder and retrieve the papers for his own son.

Dominick has since returned to WWE almost 15 years later as a trained wrestler, but many fans are still convinced that Eddie Guerrero is his father. Rest assured, Rey Mysterio is his real father and he's the man who has been training him over the past decade to step into his wrestling boots one day.
