Drew McIntyre – Rangers FC

It’s no surprise that The Scottish Warrior is a fan of a Scottish side.

McIntyre is a massive fan of Rangers FC and even played football as a youngster. While he saw himself as more of a David Beckham type, his coaches wanted him to play in defence because of his build.

His football dreams ended when he was given a red card during a game, took off his shirt in anger, and tried to fight the referee. Thankfully for the WWE universe, he followed his passion and still shows love to his favourite side.

When Rangers won the Scottish League, McIntyre presented them with a custom title on behalf of the WWE.

Rey Mysterio - Real Madrid

The Master of the 619 may come from Mexico, but his heart lies in Spain.

Mysterio is a huge fan of Los Blancos and even got to meet the squad in 2009. The legendary Luchador took photos with Cristiano Ronaldo and gave Raul Gonzalez a World Heavyweight title.

Balor may have won numerous titles during his career, but the team he supports don’t have the same luck.

The Judgement Day member is a proud supporter of Spurs and has visited the London-based side.

Balor was NXT Champion at the time when he met with Kyle Walker at the club’s training facilities and was presented with his own Spurs shirt. Balor, who is one-half of the Undisputed Tag Team champions, also took a cheap shot at Harry Kane while the WWE were in Germany.
