10 Greatest WWE Bromances
Because some guys just fall into the friend-zone for life.
Whether you like the word or utterly despise it, 'bromance' is now an accepted part of the English language. Defined as a 'close but non-sexual relationship between two men', we all know that it mens something a little more than that. A bromance is an understanding, that middle ground between friendship and something more. It is the male relationship equivalent of the Welsh word 'cwtch'.
Professional wrestling is a world of long drives and long flights at what many would probably consider the wrong times of the day, so the development of close relationships on the road can salvage the sanity of the men and women that we watch with our hearts and eyes every week.
Sometimes this chemistry can spill over on screen, and an in-canon relationship can begin to be viewed as something slightly more than an alliance. I'm talking hugs, I'm talking loving eye contact, I'm talking full on bromance.
Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho are currently doing a wonderful job as WWE's finest bromance, but the history of this polarising-organisation is full of other examples of two guys who were more than buddies.
Here's 10 of them...
10. Chad Gable & Jason Jordan
Chad Gable and Jason Jordan's bromance got off to a somewhat rocky start. Jordan was on the look-out for a tag team partner after ditching Tye Dillinger, and this weird scraggly haired guy with a towel kept approaching him. Eventually Jordan gave in to the advances of Chad Gable, and the hottest tag team in WWE was born.
Christened American Alpha, Gable and Jordan have become inseparable best friends. Those who have watched Breaking Ground on the WWE Network will see the camaraderie between the two men who had different paths to the company but very much have a shared future.
Plus come one, that sliding knee celebration in the ropes is the most 'bromance' thing going in WWE right now. When Jordan inevitably turns on Gable in the distant future, many hearts will be broken.
