Top five WWE stars and their favourite NFL teams
Being larger-than-life personalities in the squared circle doesn’t mean WWE Superstars don’t have a soft spot for another arena of combat—the football field. Beyond their slam-packed schedules and high-flying manoeuvres, these wrestling icons showcase a genuine love for the NFL, proudly donning the jerseys and colours of their favourite teams. Let’s take a closer look at five WWE Superstars and the NFL franchises they passionately support.
these WWE Superstars bring their larger-than-life personas not only to the wrestling ring but also to the football stands. Their NFL allegiances offer fans a glimpse into the personal lives of these athletic entertainers, showcasing that even behind the scripted rivalries, there’s a genuine love for the game of football.
As these Superstars continue to captivate audiences, their unwavering support for their favourite NFL teams adds another layer to their multifaceted personalities.
So, here are the top five current WWE stars and their favourite NFL teams
5. Bayley – San Francisco 49ers
Formerly Known as “The Hugger” in the WWE, Bayley embraces her roots as a fan of the San Francisco 49ers. Hailing from Newark, California, in close proximity to San Francisco, Bayley’s support for the 49ers is a nod to her local ties.
While she missed the 49ers’ glory days in the 1980s, she likely relished their 1994 Super Bowl victory over the San Diego Chargers, even if she was just a young fan at the time. A snapshot of Bayley attending a 49ers game with fellow WWE superstar Titus O’Neil showcases her passion for both wrestling and football.
4. Charlotte Flair – Carolina Panthers
With wrestling royalty running through her veins, Charlotte Flair‘s allegiance to the Carolina Panthers is deeply rooted. Raised in North Carolina, where her father, Ric Flair, settled down, the addition of the Panthers in 1995 brought NFL action to the region. Flair, aptly named after the Queen City (Charlotte), supports the Panthers with pride.
Her connection to the team was evident during Super Bowl 50 in 2016 when the Panthers faced the Denver Broncos, although the outcome didn’t mirror Flair’s own championship success.
3. Baron Corbin – Kansas City Chiefs
Baron Corbin is a former United States Champion. He not only excelled in the WWE ring but also briefly dabbled in the NFL. Corbin spent time on the practice squads of both the Indianapolis Colts and the Arizona Cardinals, showcasing his passion for professional sports.
A native of Kansas, Corbin aligns himself with the reigning Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. His ties to the state and his appreciation for the team’s recent success make him a devoted supporter, proving that his love for competition extends beyond the wrestling ring.
2. Seth Rollins – Chicago Bears
Iowa native Seth Rollins, a multi-time WWE Champion, makes his presence felt on social media during Chicago Bears games. Despite the team’s recent struggles, Rollins remains a loyal supporter, even expressing his disdain for football when the Bears face defeat. With Iowa lacking its own pro sports teams, the Chicago Bears naturally become the team of choice for fans in the region.
1. Triple H – New England Patriots
Before you dismiss the power couple of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon as mere bandwagon fans of the New England Patriots, consider their roots first. Triple H hails from Nashua, New Hampshire, while McMahon is a proud native of Connecticut. Given that neither state boasts its own NFL team, their allegiance to the Patriots becomes more of a regional connection than mere fandom.
Their genuine love for the NFL extends beyond the Patriots, as Triple H often sends WWE Championships to champions of various American sports leagues, demonstrating a broader passion for professional sports.
