🏏 WWE Superstars Who Are Secretly Obsessed With IPL Cricket
![]() |
John Cena and Roman Reigns |
Cricket and wrestling? Not the most obvious match-up, but hey, stranger things have happened. Like The Great Khali doing salsa or John Cena pretending he's invisible (wait… that’s actually canon). Turns out, some of your favorite WWE superstars are lowkey IPL fanatics—and their love for the gentleman’s game might surprise you.
1. Drew McIntyre – The Scottish Warrior's Cricket Passion
Drew McIntyre might smash skulls in the ring, but off-screen, he’s a fan of smashing boundaries too. The Scottish superstar has praised Indian cricketers and showed enthusiasm for the Indian team—possibly because he relates to being the underdog who rises to dominance. Fun fact: If Drew bowled bouncers, they'd probably send the ball into orbit.

2. Grayson Waller – Australia's Heel with a Cricket Heart
This loudmouth from Down Under once walked into a WWE ring wearing the Australian cricket team's jersey. He referenced the Ashes in his promo like it was a title belt. No lies, his cricket trash talk might actually be better than his ring work. Legend says he tried to sledge The Miz using Virat Kohli quotes.
3. Wade Barrett – The Brit Who Bats
Wade Barrett is British. Cricket is in his DNA. So naturally, he’s dropped cricket references during commentary like, “He hit him like Ian Botham on a Sunday.” Not everyone got it, but we love a niche sports analogy king.
4. John Cena – The Master of ‘You Can’t See My Cover Drive’
When John Cena posted a pic of Virat Kohli doing his ‘You Can’t See Me’ gesture, the internet exploded. Was it random? Was it prophetic? Is Cena actually watching RCB matches in stealth mode? We may never know. But the man has taste, and that taste includes cricket.

5. The New Day – Cricket Over Pancakes?
When Big E and Kofi Kingston featured in an IPL pre-show, the world tilted slightly. Big E spoke about his Jamaican roots and love for cricket, proving that even powerhouses who clap to the ring can enjoy a bit of spin bowling. Imagine Kofi doing a flip over the stumps to complete a run. Someone make this crossover happen.
