10 Secret Times Wrestling TV Mirrored Real Life

1. Big Cass' Suspicions Of Corey Graves

One that sticks out in hindsight as a bit of fun rather than any indication of something real, Big Cass' on-screen rows with Corey Graves carry a unique weight based on the differing directions their personal lives took in the years hence.

Cass first fumed with Graves for constantly browbeating Enzo Amore on commentary, but reverted to getting paranoid when the commentator appeared in the know about the seven-footer's mystery backstage attacks on his best friend.

It was Graves that somehow accessed the tapes that provided a shocking 2017 Raw reveal, leading to Cass' heel turn and a series of subsequent b*llockings for the former 'Saviour Of Misbehaviour'. As most people were aware of thanks to appearances in WWE documentaries and on Total Divas, Cass was dating the team's former valet Carmella at the time. 'The Princess Of Staten Island' later ended up with Graves in real life after the two split in 2018.

Though there's no suggestion that any of this played into the very believable tension between the characters on screen, hindsight watches certainly have greater heft.
