5 WWE Superstars you didn't know are grandfathers

Family matters a lot, even if one is a huge celebrity and a WWE Superstar. After spending a major part of the year on the road, the time spent with their families is very precious for them. While we know a lot of WWE Superstars like Roman Reigns, Goldberg, Rey Mysterio, and others who have children of their own, there are a few Superstars who are already grandfathers.

One can not look at these guys and say for sure that they have grandsons and grand-daughters. Such is the level of fitness that they have maintained even after so many years. It would be interesting to see whether the little ones get inspired by their grandfathers and join the wrestling business in the future.

So let's take a look at five of such WWE Superstars you didn't know were grandfathers. Which one of them is the most shocking according to you? Let us know your reactions in the comments section below.

#5 Brock Lesnar

Ever since his return to WWE in 2012, Brock Lesnar has been one of the biggest draws for the company with five of his eight world title reigns coming during this second run with WWE. Being one of the strongest and dominating Superstars on the roster, it's tough to imagine Lesnar as a grandfather, but he is one.

The Beast Incarnate is married to former WWE Superstar Sable and they have two sons together. Sable also has a daughter from her previous marriage who herself is a mother of a daughter now. This makes Lesnar a step-grandfather, who is only 42 years old. He is probably one of the youngest grandfathers in WWE history!

Remember the time when he interrupted Hulk Hogan during his birthday celebration and mocked him by saying - "Party's over grandpa!"? As for his WWE career, he still is in great shape and looks set to continue wrestling for many more years. One of the fittest and strongest grandfathers out there, for sure!

#4 Ric Flair

Ric Flair is one of the greatest Superstars that the company and even the world of pro-wrestling have witnessed. Tied with John Cena for the most world championship reigns in the company at 16 each, the Nature Boy is a living legend. His legacy in the business is carried on by his daughter Charlotte Flair, who has herself become one of the greatest female WWE Superstars in history.

Other than Charlotte, the two-time WWE Hall of Famer has three more children. While one of his sons Reid passed away in 2013, the other one David had some amount of success in WCW, but couldn't make it that big. On the other hand, his eldest Daughter Megan has started a family of her own and has a daughter which makes The Nature Boy a grandfather.

Being known as the Dirtiest Player in the Game, his wrestling gimmick makes it a little tough for his fans to imagine him as a grandfather. At the age of 71, he is not a very unexpected entry into this list of WWE grandfathers, but not many fans know about this fact. Do you think we'll see a third-generation Flair in a wrestling ring in a couple of decades?

#3 Kane

Ever since debuting as the devilish brother of The Undertaker, Kane has been one of the most successful Superstars in all of WWE. He is also one of the oldest wrestlers to still be an active in-ring competitor. Owing to his duties as the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, the Big Red Monster only appears on the WWE screen on special occasions.

Well, fans don't know much about Kane's personal life as the Superstar tends to stay out of the spotlight. He has been married to Crystal Maurisa Goins since 1995 and they have two daughters together, Devan and Arista. It is through them that Kane has a grandson and a granddaughter, making him a grandfather at a relatively young age.

While his on-screen gimmick has been that of a ruthless and unforgiving monster, Kane is a family person in real life and tries to dedicate as much time as possible to his loved ones. Being a three-time World Champion and one-half of the Brothers of Destruction, he is surely one of the toughest and strongest grandfathers out there!

#2 Stone Cold Steve Austin

If one talks about the biggest stars of the Attitude Era, Stone Cold Steve Austin's name usually tops the list. The WWE Hall of Famer has had a hugely successful career with the company, having won multiple world titles and being a part of some of the most famous storylines and feuds with The Rock, Triple H, and even Vince McMahon himself.

He still keeps making a couple of appearances on WWE TV every year, thanks to the massive fan-following that he still has.

We all remember him as the biggest anti-hero in the business. Someone who loves to raise hell, every now and then. Well, he has been a grandfather since 2010.

Much like Brock Lesnar, the Texas Rattlesnake is also a step-grandfather. Having been married four times, Austin has two children from these relationships. Apart from them, he also adopted the daughter of his ex-wife and it is through this daughter that he has a step-grandson. It is really fascinating to imagine the man who loves "stunning" people and drinking beer as a grandfather.

#1 Batista

Soon to be inducted into WWE Hall of Fame - Class of 2020, Batista has had an amazing career with WWE and has now devoted his attention to Hollywood. Playing the role of Drax the Destroyer in the Guardians of the Galaxy series and the last two installments of Avengers, he is already a big name in the industry and has many other major projects in line.

Being in great physical shape at the age of 51, he is one of those whom you can't look at and guess being a grandfather. He actually became a grandfather before he turned 40 as his eldest daughter had a child when she was 16. Dealing with the situation was tough for Batista and it was his friend and late great WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero who helped him understand the situation in a better way.

The Animal had his retirement match at WrestleMania 35 against Triple H and from the looks of it, he has no plans to get out of retirement. He is slowly and steadily climbing the ladder to a successful Hollywood career and is having a great life!
