WWE Superstars are known for their electrifying performances on camera, but there have been instances when they have been caught off-guard behind the scenes. In 2016, AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose were feuding for the WWE Championship, and during a SmackDown episode, Styles attempted to deliver a Phenomenal Forearm on Ambrose, who was facing Baron Corbin. However, Ambrose blocked the move, causing Styles to get caught between the ropes. Despite the show going off-air, Styles continued selling his injury during the post-show dark match, with John Cena, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns joining in on the fun.
In another instance, The Rock made a surprise appearance on RAW in 2017 after the show had gone off-air. However, fans started chanting CM Punk’s name, prompting The Great One to call the Best in the World. Although Punk did not pick up the call, the moment was a memorable one for the crowd.
Brock Lesnar has also been caught off-camera, destroying John Cena’s merchandise following his return at SummerSlam. In addition, Lesnar was seen playing soccer in Saudi Arabia, showcasing his athletic abilities outside the ring. The Rock was also caught on camera trying on John Cena’s armband, highlighting the playful dynamics backstage.
These unscripted moments offer a Look into the personalities and camaraderie of WWE Superstars, reminding fans that there is more to these wrestlers than their on-screen personas.
