There are many fans of the WWE Universe, including celebrities from all around the world. Whether its actors, musicians or comedians, nobody has stayed away from showing their love for the WWE. The only thing better than being a fan from a far is being a fan up close and personal. Celebrities are not only seen front row at various shows around the world, but some even had the chance to be inside of a WWE ring and interact with fans and wrestling Superstars.

This past April, Shaquille O'Neal was a surprise contestant in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32 and was actually pretty impressive for the time he was in the ring. Everybody remembers when Floyd Mayweather, Jr. had a feud with the Big Show and literally broke his nose with a three piece combo. However, the biggest celebrity fans of wrestling may be the Hip-Hop/Rap community.

When many celebrities are asked what they would be if they weren't doing their current job, many say they want to be a rapper or singer. When it comes to the WWE, they are no different then anybody else. Superstars like John Cena and Randy Savage actually pursued rap careers despite being professional wrestlers. Although they have a passion for wrestling, they also have a love for music. Here are some artists in the industry today that feel the same way about the WWE. Although they have a passion for music, they have appeared on WWE events and showed their love as a fan.

After he was done performing, MGK walked back up the ramp as Kevin Owens was waiting for him at the top of the entrance clapping his hands. MGK noticed Owens and went to shake his hand. As MGK held his hand out for Owens to shake, Owens just looked at it. This caused MGK to get mad and push Owens, a decision he will regret for the rest of his life. Owens then kicked MGK and sets him up for a Powerbomb off the stage, sending MGK crashing to the floor. It was shocking to see a celebrity put in a situation like this.
