10 Celebrities You Didn't Realise Are Massive Gamers

10. A.J. Styles

The world of wrestling and the world of video games crossover way more than you might think, and there's even a bunch of prolific superstars who have made a major name for themselves on the gaming scene.

Perhaps the biggest of these is Xavier Woods, who has his own extremely successful gaming YouTube channel called UpUpDownDown and features regularly on Kinda Funny shows and at industry press events, but other big names inside the world of wrestling have also professed their their love for video games.

A.J. Styles might not appear on the surface to be your typical gamer (though by now we should know the stereotype of what a 'gamer' looks like is well and truly outdated), and his strange cameo appearance on Microsoft's stage playing Gears 5 might have seemed out of place, but the wrestler is a huge fan of both retro and modern games.

In fact, he's shown up plenty of times on Woods' channel to discuss his passion, even offering everyone a tour of the ridiculous retro games collection he has in his house.
