For a long time, WWE superstars and other professional wrestlers have had some sort of connections in the mainstream Hollywood world. There are rumors of several wrestling stars dating actors or are good friends with them. However, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio recently made a huge confession which included top Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston.

Recently, the masked Luchador appeared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. The Maverick dug deep into an article that stated Mysterio dated the actress behind the FRIENDS sitcom character ‘Rachel’.

The ‘Master of 619’ started laughing over it and said, “About a week….that was crazy. National Enquirer, remember that…they just threw it out there.”

Aniston requires no introduction as the FRIENDS sitcom gave her worldwide fame. The sitcom was a huge hit back in the 90s, coinciding with WCW’s rise in popularity. This might have made this news of the two stars dating more popular. Safe to the Friends sitcom has a minuscule WWE connection whatsoever, which isn’t well known.

The WWE legend had said to the National Enquirer, “Jennifer is a big fan of mine and I’m a big fan of hers. She’s been to four of my matches and we’ve become good friends. She told me she loves my wrestling.”

While there were rumors of Mysterio and Aniston,  Courtney Cox, another FRIENDS star, appeared on an episode of WCW with her ex-husband David Arquette. Furthermore, last year Brock Lesnar also shared being a fan of the ‘Monica Geller’ character played by Cox from FRIENDS.
