Wrestling can be a toxic environment and the last week has shown that sometimes accidents happen in the ring that can cause problems between wrestlers and these issues can last for a number of years. There will always be people in every workplace that don't like each other, but it appears that there are a number of stars who are unexpected friends outside of WWE as well.

WWE superstars spend more than 300 days a year on the road which means that much of the time they will need their friends around them because some wrestlers become homesick if they aren't used to the consistent traveling. Whilst many relationships have been formed through convenience over the past few years, there are also many friendships that have been formed on the road between some of the most surprising names.


#5 Finn Balor and Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins and Finn Balor have worked together on WWE TV a number of times over the past few years, but the most memorable match between the two men came back at SummerSlam 2016 when Balor injured his shoulder and was forced to relinquish the Universal Championship.

It was thought that Balor blamed Rollins for his injury when in fact Rollins injured himself a few months later and the two men went on to attend rehab at the same time and even spent Valentine's Day together attempting to rehabilitate their injuries.

Balor and Rollins have been partners and enemies on WWE TV over the past few years, but off-screen they are close friends and have been pictured numerous times travelling together as well.

#4 John Cena and Michael Cole

Michael Cole is one of WWE's longest-tenured stars having been part of the company ever since the 1990s and over the years he has made a number of close friends within the locker room, including John Cena.

Cole has mentioned a number of times that he and Cena are close friends and it was the former Journalist that helped him to develop his character. Michael Cole is someone who the WWE Universe often overlook, but Cena has always been fond of the commentator and sees him as one of his closest friends in the business.

When Cena was fired from WWE back in 2010 he made his way over to Michael Cole to hug him, which showed just how much he values his friendship with WWE's workhorse.

#3 The Miz and Chris Jericho

The Miz didn't have a great start to his career in WWE since he managed to annoy a number of legends in the locker room, which led to him being kicked out by Chris Benoit. The Miz has since worked hard to regain the respect of his colleagues and one of the superstars who has been one of his biggest advocates over the years is Chris Jericho.

Chris Jericho and The Miz have been spotted hanging out a number of times and according to various reports, the two men always find time to hang out and have probably been switching notes when it comes to in-ring work as well since both men are on fire in the wrestling business at present.

#2 Ember Moon and Ruby Riott

Ruby Riott and Ember Moon are on opposite sides of the locker room on Monday Night Raw, but that doesn't mean that the two stars have to avoid each other in real life. Moon and Riott both worked on the Independent Circuit before they joined WWE with Moon being known under the ring name Athena whilst Riott was known as Heidi Lovelace.

Moon and Riott have only recently been able to cross paths on the main roster since the two women weren't able to have a lengthy rivalry on the NXT brand. Riott and Moon once traveled together but now Riott travels with her Riott Squad teammates Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan, but still finds time to hang out with her longtime friend.

#1 The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker had a lengthy feud on WWE TV throughout 2014 and 2015 which turned somewhat personal, but even though the two men have had their issues on-screen, it's reported that they are actually good friends off-screen.

The Deadman and Lesnar worked closely throughout their feud and it was Lesnar that The Undertaker actually chose to break his streak at WrestleMania 30 more than four years ago. Lesnar and The Undertaker were also spotted dining together the night before The Greatest Royal Rumble back in April, where Lesnar went on to retain his Universal Championship against Roman Reigns and Undertaker defeated Rusev in a Casket match.
