When you sign with WWE to become their next big Superstar, you get to be watched by millions every week and adorned by countless fans around the world.

But once the cameras stop rolling, and the crowds go home, you're faced with one of wrestling's most grinding efforts, travelling on the road.

Ever since wrestling burst nationally in the United States, Superstars have been expected to make their way to and from arenas, as well as hotels to sleep in, gyms to keep in shape, and local stores to do public appearances.

It is a tough time, though made a lot easier when you have a friend you trust by your side, as you drive the miles. Even then, there are some strict rules on what WWE Superstars can and cannot do.

Here are five things you don't know about WWE life on the road.


#5: The WWE pays for Airfare

It's one thing to be on the road travelling from New York to Rhode Island, but it's a whole different story when the WWE travels overseas.

Instead of opting for a ferry though, the company pays for wrestler's airfares, allowing them to travel all across the world, with plenty of time to make it from New York to Italy, and still have time for the show.

However, the tickets WWE provide are not first-class, as this is a luxury only allowed to certain established Superstars, such as The Miz, Randy Orton and John Cena.

Instead, Superstars are given decent tickets, though, given the massive size of some members of the WWE roster, it cannot be easy to be crammed into those tiny seats with very little legroom.
