5 WWE Superstars who helped fellow wrestlers in real life

#2 Former WWE Champion Chris Jericho provides financial help to a string of wrestlers

There have been many wrestlers who weren't wise with their finances, while others simply didn't earn enough. On the other hand, there were WWE Superstars like Chris Jericho who made a ton of money and were generous enough to help fellow wrestlers in need. The former WWE Champion donated a handsome amount of $1,500 to pay for former WCW star Brian Knobbs' medical bills, back in 2019.

Jericho helped several other wrestlers who were in a financial crunch. He paid $3,000 to cover the medical expenses of former WWE Superstar Rico Constantino. Jerry Lynn, Kamala, and Buffalo Brothers are a few more wrestlers who received aid from Jericho. The AEW star once donated $500 for the medical bills of a sick cat, named Jax. It won't be a stretch when one dubs Chris Jericho as one of the nicest persons in all of pro wrestling. He has helped fellow wrestlers in the time of need when no one had expected him to or forced him to do so.

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.
