10 WWE Stars and Their Super Hot Cars
Most WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) superstars are aware that they are athletes who have the talent to be actors in movies as well as the ring. WWE superstars are pretty much like Hollywood stars who are paid well for all the risks and effort they put in throughout their career. That much dedication and passion towards their career should give them what they truly want, and that is a lot of money and what comes with it. Being part of a big company gives them the freedom to enjoy what they want to do with their earnings. Most of them reward or pamper themselves with luxury cars. These cars are not just defined by a boundless and advanced level of technology, but the great prestige it will reflect on the owner.
It is the talk of the town when the discussion is all about WWE superstars in both the past and present and ways they have dedicated their earnings in securing cars that are just the perfect means to totally show off one’s wealth. It’s a reward system for them since they pour out their sweat and blood, quite literally. Today, we are going to look closer at 10 WWE wrestlers who own seriously mouthwatering rides.
10. The Rock’s Chevrolet Chevelle
Whoever watched the trailer for the movie, Faster where Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Chevelle SS was featured throughout the video, one would truly be amazed by the vintage car’s beauty. It was as if the car overshadowed Dwayne Johnson and the plot of the trailer itself. Car enthusiasts can understand what I’m talking about. It was revealed that the prop production team of the movie used 1972 and 1971 Chevelles instead of the more valuable 1970 model. The reason is only a matter of simple economics, that is, wrecking a 1970 Chevelle was determined to be too much of a luxury and only crazy people would have the guts to go about destroying one. Also, in Ryan Gosling’s movie Drive, the said Chevelle SS was the first choice of the movie director, Nicolas Winding Refn. So much love showed to this vintage car.
From the picture above, we can see that he’s more than proud to show off his great possession; the Chevrolet Chevelle. An epic idol to many, he has reached the heights of stardom, from WWE to Hollywood that is. Not only does he have this vintage automobile, but he also has a cool car collection that includes other luxurious cars in his garage. Dwayne Johnson’s car collection includes a $1.3 million Pagani Huayra, Ford F-150 Pickup Custom-Built, Rolls-Royce Wraith, and a 2017 Ford GT not to mention many others.
9. Eddie Guerrero’s Lowrider
He is considered one of the best-remembered wrestlers of all-time and of course nothing beats Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero’s Lowrider. Lowriding enthusiasts and all of the fans of WWE may truly recognize his strong desire for lowriders and he is the only wrestler to always enter the ring with this kind of valuable car. Many superstar wrestlers use vehicles as part of their publicity devices during their matches, but with Eddie’s lowrider, it is classic. Remember the segment where Batista surprised him with a new lowrider backstage? He was truly stunned with the present from Batista. It’s totally an unforgettable moment.
Eddie loved lowriders ever since he was little and saw them roaming around town during his younger years. Though not all of the lowriders he rode in and showed up at his matches in were owned by him, he did own one lowrider and that is the one in the picture above. Big thanks to all the low riding groups and communities because they have offered their most valuable possessions to Eddie to roll into the ring with style.

8. JBL’s Limousine
JBL was a financial analyst for Fox News before pursuing his career as a wrestler in WWE. No wonder that he plays a repulsive urban cowboy in a suit, riding in a limousine and then a stock market bell rings in the background whenever he enters a match.

All the fans were amazed and talking about it when it happened and it was considered one of the most hilarious car smashing scenes in the history of WWE. By the end of Batista’s rage, not one single window was left unbroken and the limousine was a total wreck. Also, remember when the Undertaker chokeslams JBL through the roof of his limousine?
