3 WWE superstars who are Cricket fans

WWE Superstars love a lot of Sports. Given how they are built physically and the need for them to stay fit more often than not, they usually indulge in some physical activities. In order for it to be fun, many wrestlers choose sport as a medium. Given the popularity of Basketball, NFL, NHL, and MLS in the USA, many WWE Superstars usually take part in these events. Some of them have a history of being former players of these sports.

Apart from these, many have a liking for MMA, Boxing, and UFC as well. However, there are not many wrestlers who have been cricket fans. Most of the WWE Superstars are from the USA and Canada. Only a few are from the parts of the globe where cricket is popular. Yet, there are a few WWE Superstars who are not just aware of the sport but are also fans of the second most popular sport in the world.

3. Wade Barrett

Wade Barrett was one of the best wrestlers on the roster when he was in his prime. He headed a major faction like Nexus in the PG Era which led to the emergence of some of the top stars of the company like CM Punk. While he did not become a huge star as the company expected, he is still fairly popular among the fans.

While he is not a wrestler anymore and has turned out to be a commentator, Wade is a cricket fan. He is from the United Kingdom and hence is naturally a cricket fan. In the commentary box recently, he took the name of Ian Botham, a legendary All-rounder. Many fans were not even aware of the star who was referred to.

2. Grayson Waller 

Grayson Waller is one of the best heels in the company currently. He is from Australia and is a huge fan of the cricket team of his country. When Perth's Optus stadium got a chance to host the Elimination Chamber 2024, he made sure to express his love for Australia and cricket. Waller ensured the fans enjoyed the moment along with him.

The star wrestler wore the Australian jersey which was used by the team for the ODI World Cup 2023. In one of the recent podcasts, he mentioned the Ashes 2023, which was one of the best Test series. Grayson's promo against John Cena during the Money in the Bank 2023 revolved around the fact that Australian fans do not like the English.

1. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is one of the most known WWE Superstars in the world. At the same time, he is an avid follower of cricket. There are many instances where he showed his love for the game. Being from Scotland, there is a natural love in him for the sport. The Scottish Warrior is a supporter of the Indian cricket team. 

In the past, he tweeted after Virat scored a hundred against Sri Lanka. He also wished India luck for the ODI WC 2023. Drew wore the Indian jersey when the live show happened in Hyderabad in September 2023. Whenever he gets a chance, the 3-time world champion usually expresses his love for the sport.
