5 WWE superstars and their Premier League club counterparts
Despite the fundamental differences between professional wrestling and football (soccer for all you Americans) – such as one being scripted while the other is not and one being mostly about individuals while the other is a team game – there are quite a few similarities between the two sports as well.
For example, the WWE and the Premier League are the two most widely watched “leagues” in their respective fields. It’s where the most amount of money is present and it is what fans across the world tune in for week in and week out.
Even when it comes to the competitors themselves, there are a number of similarities between in-ring competitors i.e the wrestlers and the Premier League clubs which contest for the right to be called champions of England.
So, let’s get into those comparisons. Without any further ado, here are 5 WWE superstars and their Premier League club counterparts:
Honourable mentions:
| WWE Superstar | Club |
| Daniel Bryan | Leicester City |
| Sami Zayn | Arsenal |
| Chris Jericho | Everton |
| Braun Strowman | West Brom |
| Fandango | Sunderland |
Note: We have used the top 5 clubs as per the Premier League table as on 5th April 2017.
#5 John Cena and Manchester United
John Cena is the most decorated superstar in WWE history with his joint-record 16 World Titles. He is also the poster boy of the company and one of the most widely recognised names to ever emerge from the world of wrestling.
Manchester United are the most decorated club in English history with their record 20 English Titles. They are the poster club of the Premier League and one of the most widely recognised names to ever emerge from the world of football.
Seeing the similarities? It’s not just that, either. Both parties have suffered a little as of late as Cena has slowly but surely slid out of the title picture much like Manchester United have after the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Both Cena and United are also getting ready to challenge for their respective crowns once again in the near future.
