5 WWE Superstars who said they miss other wrestlers

Life as a WWE Superstar is quite demanding and one has to be on the road for the majority of the year. WWE Superstars wrestle on a weekly basis and are away from their friends and families for long stretches of time. While on the road and traveling together, Superstars oftentimes build new bonds and some go on to form lifelong friendships.

There are instances when a Superstar tragically passes away, leaves the company, or even switches brands during the WWE Draft. Thus, two wrestlers who were working with each other on a regular basis are separated in an instant.

In this slideshow, we will take a look at five such instances and focus on five WWE Superstars who publicly stated that they miss other wrestlers.

#5 Brock Lesnar remembers the late Curt Hennig

Curt Hennig

WWE legend Brock Lesnar received some great advice from Hall of Famer Curt Hennig back when Lesnar was yet to make his way to the main roster. Just before The Beast Incarnate's main roster debut in early 2002, the duo wrestled in two matches on WWE live shows and also had one Dark match.

Hennig would pass away a year later due to acute drug intoxication. Lesnar wrote about Hennig in his book "Death Clutch", and stated that he misses him a lot.

"I really think about him every day. We could have had so much fun together. I miss him so much, because with Curt you were never just passing time. You were enjoying every minute of it. Why did he have to go and die?"

Lesnar was also caught on camera getting emotional while reminiscing about his days with Mr. Perfect. He went on to become one of the greatest Superstars in the history of this business and Hennig would certainly have been proud of how much The Beast accomplished in a short amount of time.

#4 Randy Orton misses his arch-rival John Cena

Orton vs Cena

Randy Orton and John Cena both came to the main roster in the spring of 2002. The Ruthless Aggression Era had recently kicked off and WWE was looking to build a bunch of Superstars who would carry the company on their shoulders for the next several years.

Cena and Orton received major pushes over the next few years, with both becoming World Champions on their respective brands. Cena is currently making a name for himself as an actor in Hollywood and Orton didn't shy away from making it known that he misses his arch-rival.

Orton posted a couple of hilarious pictures on his Twitter handle last year, stating that he misses Cena. The Viper also had a request for the 16-time World Champion.

Miss you @JohnCena. 😘 ps: Can you talk to @TheRock and see what his #wrestlemania plans are for 2020? Asking for a friend. pic.twitter.com/Ly222EhUz4

Orton and Cena feuded several times when they were mainstays in WWE. They also teamed up on various occasions following Orton's babyface turn in 2010. While Cena is following in the footsteps of The Rock, Orton is still killing it in WWE and is a sure-fire future Hall of Famer.

#3 Carmella reminisces about her stint with R-Truth

Truth and Carmella

Back in 2019, Mick Foley unveiled the brand new WWE 24/7 Championship to a mild response from the WWE Universe. Little did fans know that the belt would be the focal point of some of the most hilarious and must-watch segments over the next few months.

R-Truth and Carmella were regularly featured in 24/7 title segments, with Drake Maverick playing a major role in the angle as well. The duo was separated during the 2019 WWE Draft, with R-Truth being moved to WWE RAW. Carmella later revealed that she misses R-Truth and that the two Superstars could have done a lot more with the 24/7 title.

"I miss him. I've been asked today a lot about, 'Are you upset that you're not with him anymore?' Of course, I'm so sad. I feel like we had so much more that we could have done. It wasn't, to me, getting old. I felt like we could have taken this and run with it for a long time."

As of this moment, R-Truth has held the belt a whopping 38 times! Although the 24/7 title isn't making waves today as it did in mid-2019, Truth is still one of the most loved Superstars in WWE and his fans would want nothing but for WWE to give him the spotlight again.

#2 CM Punk showers praise on Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio

Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio

Last year, WWE legend Rey Mysterio shared a throwback picture on his official Instagram handle, featuring a Triple Threat match he had against Eddie Guerrero and CM Punk in IWA Mid-South in 2002. Mysterio added that he had never imagined how the careers of all three Superstars would turn out after that night.

CM Punk noticed the post and shared a heartfelt message for both Eddie and Rey in the comment section. Punk had nothing but respectful words for the duo in his comment.

I miss Eddie, truly fortunate to have worked him as many times as I did. I feel the same about you Rey! Legends, who treated me like an equal, and I’ve never forgotten it. Viva la raza!

Eddie tragically passed away in late 2005, mere months before Punk made his way to WWE TV after a brief stint in Ohio Valley Wrestling. Punk would go on to become one of the biggest Superstars in WWE and have feuds with the likes of John Cena, Triple H, and Randy Orton.

#1 Roman Reigns misses former WWE Superstar Rusev

Rusev

Back in April, WWE released a long list of Superstars to cut costs amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. One of these Superstars was The Bulgarian Brute, Rusev. Rusev had been a part of the main roster for around six years, and fans weren't happy with his exit one bit.

Mere weeks later, WWE Superstar Roman Reigns posted a story on his official Instagram handle and stated that he misses Rusev. Reigns also talked about how he had amazing bouts with Rusev all over the world.

Rusev and Reigns squared off a bunch of times while both were regulars on WWE TV. Back in early 2016, Reigns feuded with The League of Nations, consisting of Rusev, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, and King Barrett. He also had a singles feud with Rusev later that year.

Soon after he was released, Rusev started a YouTube and a Twitch channel and regularly posts videos reminiscing his days as a WWE Superstar. Rusev has since stated that he is done with wrestling, but one can never say never in this business, and fans of Rusev are hoping that he comes back to action in the near future.
