15 Awesome Pictures Of WWE Stars Hanging Out Backstage

The WWE has remained the alpha-male of the professional wrestling industry because of how consistently they've created so many intricate storylines and amazing characters which the fans have backed over the years. While the WWE would like everyone to believe that the good guys (aka "babyfaces") and the bad guys (aka "heels") do not get along with each other at all, in real life, every wrestler gets along with almost every colleague of theirs in the WWE.

While there was a lot of backstage politics in the WWE during the 90s, that has declined over the years and everyone's much friendlier to each other these days. The WWE stars love to hang around and have fun backstage when they are not obliged to wrestle in the ring and we've seen many of them becoming good friends with each other. While some of these wrestlers may be rivals in the ring, they are definitely having good fun in these pictures, which prove how friendly and awesome some of these WWE stars are in the back.

These backstage photos show the realistic personas of these stars and prove how some of them are actually great buddies in real life. These pictures show the relatively unknown shades of some of our favorite WWE stars from past and present and prove how awesome they can be just hanging out backstage.

15 The Rock With Charlotte

The Rock might have retired as an in-ring competitor in the WWE many years ago, but he makes appearances every now and then to try and put over some stars. While he might not spend that much time on WWE TV, "The Great One" loves to put over stars on his own and often uses his social media to do so. He obviously loves some of the newer stars who have come through in WWE, including Charlotte Flair with whom he can be seen having a fun time with in this awesome picture. "The Queen" Of WWE has definitely earned her name as royalty of the Women's Division and The Rock has been all praise for her, and the two seem to be delighted at catching up in this snap. Maybe we can see these two teaming up some-time in the future, something which will be awesome to see.

14 Chris Jericho And Goldberg Catching Up

Chris Jericho and Goldberg have had enjoyed quite the topsy-turvy relationship in their years of wrestling together and things got really heated when they were both working for WWE in the early 2000s. Jericho and Goldberg got into a legit fight backstage which Y2J apparently won and had quite a lot of heat with each other, but it seems that "rivalry" toned down as years passed. The two were on seemingly great terms when Goldberg returned to WWE last year and this picture of the two chatting up prior to WrestleMania 33 proves how it's all water under the bridge for them. The two seem to have found some time to discuss something prior to the mega-event and are looking on great terms in this candid image which proves that heat between wrestlers generally gets extinguished as the years pass by.

13 The Titus Brand Meets The Boogeyman

It seemed like Titus O'Neil was on his way out of the WWE a few years ago when he was suspended for "shoving" Vince McMahon after Daniel Bryan's retirement episode, but he's recovered well and made his own thing in the "Titus Brand". Along with Apollo and Dana Brooke, he's been doing some really entertaining stuff and seems to be a really good guy in real life bringing some good PR for WWE. The Titus Brand seems to stick together backstage even when the curtains are off and decided to catch up with The Boogeyman during the RAW 25th Anniversary episode. This picture of them meeting up backstage is quite hilarious as it shows how disgusted the Titus Brand is to meet the worm-eating Boogeyman looking weird as ever. This snap shows the present with the past of WWE and these three having a weirdly fun time backstage.

12 Braun Strowman With His Sister

Braun Strowman has been an absolute destruction machine in the WWE for over a year and has attained a lot of popularity because of that, with the "Monster Among Men" being a really over figure on Raw. While Strowman might be this terrorizing monster in the WWE, he's actually a really sweet guy in real life and loves to hang out with his peers when the curtains are off. He's considered to be a really friendly guy and when his sister decided to visit him at a WWE event, he brought her backstage to hang out with her for some time! This picture shows the monster with his sister, who is actually quite close to him in size. It seems like these two are having a blast when catching up with each other backstage and this awesome snap shows how delightful Strowman is in real life.

11 John Cena Giving Some Tips To Sami Zayn

John Cena might have been forced to become a "part-timer" for the WWE, but his dedication for the company and its product is unbound as Cena has now taken the role of a veteran and is trying to help put over more talents these days. Cena is someone who knows the ins and outs of how to become successful in WWE and in this picture, he's trying to give a few tips to Sami Zayn who is listening very keenly. This was mostly from when Zayn was still at NXT and yet to become a star in WWE, but Cena seems to be giving him a few important instructions in this awesome candid picture. He might be often criticized for "burying talent", but Cena is definitely trying to improve Zayn's talent by giving him some valuable tips which he must've listened to very carefully.

10 Dean Ambrose Sharing Some Personal Time With Renee Young

Dean Ambrose and Renee Young have been a couple who despite showing no signs of their relationship in WWE TV, but have maintained a very strong relationship over the years.

They are sharing some rare personal time they've received in a WWE event and are deep in some conversation, with this awesome picture showing how laid-back the couple really is. This candid image shows how they love to hang around with each other whenever they can and Renee seems to be especially happy with the conversation, proving that the Lunatic Fringe isn't that much of a "madman" when he's with his wife.

9 An Awesome Group Selfie

The WWE superstars have definitely gotten friendlier to each other over the years because of them needing to work even more often over the past few years and developing a bond with all the time on the road. Some "groups" of WWE superstars also love to stick close to each other and hang around backstage whenever they can and stars like Zack Ryder are known to be really fun to be with at the back. So it's no surprise that Ryder's the one who's in charge of taking this awesome group selfie which features quite a lot of present and past WWE stars. With the likes of Dolph Ziggler, The Bellas, Kofi Kingston and Natalya, this awesome snap is absolutely star-studded and proves how these stars love to have fun and fool around at the back whenever they get an opportunity.

8 Vince McMahon Congratulating Eddie Guerrero

Vince McMahon is known to be a really evil character in the WWE who always prefers the heels who will bow down to his command rather than the rebellious baby-faces, but when the curtains are off, he treats his talent very equally. McMahon has made stars out of many wrestlers in the past few decades but the way he made Eddie Guerrero into an incredible baby-face in the mid-2000s was something special. So when Eddie won the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar in 2004, Vince had to congratulate his new champ when he returned backstage and going by this awesome picture, the boss was delighted with his win. The two are having a very happy conversation in this awesome candid snap which proves how attached Vince really is with his talents and how much he loves it himself when they achieve success.

7 The Harper Fan Club

Harper has received another repackaging as of late when he teamed up with his "Brother" Rowan and formed the Bludgeon Brothers who have been destroying through quite a lot of tag teams on Smackdown Live! While he might be this terrifying guy on the blue brand, Harper is known to be a really cool dude in real life and someone everyone wants to hang out with! A few years ago, Chris Jericho decided to upload a picture of the "Harper Fan Club" hanging out together, with this awesome picture showing the likes of Jericho, Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, Sheamus & Cesaro and Epico all flexing their muscles for the man himself. This delightful picture broke all kinds of kayfabe rules and forced Jericho to take it off, but it was awesome enough to remain on the internet for fans to see how cool and popular Harper really is.

6 Ric Flair And Kurt Angle At Hall Of Fame Ceremony

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Kurt Angle are both the top grade legends in WWE who have been cherished for their amazing work for the company over the years, and while they never met face-to-face in the ring, they did meet at the Hall of Fame ceremony last year. The Olympic Gold Medalist got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame last year and caught up with Ric Flair before the event with this picture showing the two having a bit of fun before Angle received his Hall of Fame ring. It's all smiles between the two Hall of Famers in this candid snap which proves how laid-back things were during the ceremony and allowed Angle and Ric to hang around for a bit and have some funny conversations at that too, making for this awesome picture.

5 Zelina Vega And Austin Aries Give Tommy Dreamer A Surprise

Zelina Vega has turned out to be a fantastic manager for Andrade "Cien" Almas, who's career sky-rocketed after she inspired him to become a better wrestler. Vega turned him into the NXT Champion and is doing a great job herself as a heel and she looks set to be in the WWE for quite a long time. Vega has quite a number of years in experience in the wrestling industry and has met quite a lot of legends on the way, but she particularly liked Tommy Dreamer whom she can be seen presenting him with a surprise present on his birthday. Along with her ex-fiancee Austin Aries, Zega seems to be delighted at surprising Dreamer who seems a happy man at getting his cake. This awesome picture shows how close Vega is with her "wrestling dad" in Dreamer, who has helped her become what she is now.

4 The Undertaker With D-Generation X

The Undertaker has had the reputation for being a terrifying character in the WWE for over two decades and while he might be the terrorizing Phenom of WWE when in character, he's a very respected individual off the screen as well. The Undertaker was the locker room leader of WWE for many years and made quite a lot of friends at that time who respected him very much for how good a person he was. Taker would often take time to hang out with his WWE colleagues backstage after the shows or during some free-time, and this awesome picture shows him with a DX shirt on hanging out with Billy Gun and X-Pac. Taker seems to be a DX fan in real life and is definitely liking his time with the DX members, as this picture shows why Taker is loved so much by his co-workers.

3 The Former Divas Shining Through

The 25th Anniversary of Raw and Women's Royal Rumble made for the return of many legendary WWE divas who managed to woo the audience with their work during that week. We saw some of our favorite old-timers make their return at Royal Rumble, with a few of them still managing to look amazing and exactly the same as before. So some of these former WWE divas decided to hang out backstage with their peers who are still in the WWE(like the Bella twins), as Torrie Wilson, Kelly Kelly, Lillian Garcia and Michelle McCool are all shining through in this awesome picture. Wilson and Kelly in particular still look smoking-hot and make it difficult to figure out that they've actually aged, as these gorgeous divas finally found some time to catch up with each other a few months back and seemingly had great fun together.

2 Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey & The Four Horsewomen

Brock Lesnar has been so dominant in the WWE for the past few years because of his amazing success in UFC in the mid-2000s which made him become a mainstream star in the sports-entertainment industry. Lesnar is arguably the most "legitimate' wrestler in WWE, but that can change now that Ronda Rousey is also a full-time WWE superstar. Rousey still needs time to adapt to WWE's conditions, but she brings a lot of popularity with her and can be seen discussing something with the "Beast Incarnate" and a few friends backstage. The two are probably chatting about the UFC or MMA and are definitely having a great time hanging out with each other on a rare occasion. These "Alpha" like characters are both pretty dangerous when in the ring, but even they love to hang out backstage which this awesome picture shows.

1 The Attitude Era Gang

The Attitude Era was definitely the raunchiest period of time for the WWE where they did anything and everything necessary to win the ratings battle against WCW and to prevail in the Monday Night War. The WWE roster was also full of extremely talented wrestlers who mostly went along with each other even though some were resented due to backstage politics. But this awesome throwback picture shows the WWE's Attitude Era gang having a blast dining together. The likes of the Undertaker, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and even Paul Bearer are part of the picture which shows how much fun these group of wrestlers liked to have in WWE. They didn't always get the time to hang around, but they're definitely having a great party in this awesome picture which shows the best wrestlers of the Attitude Era having a blast together.
