WWE has been the home of numerous legendary wrestlers who made a career for themselves in the company and also helped put in on the map for global audiences.

They were unstoppable during their time as active in-ring performers and gave their opponents tough competition inside the squared circle. But as time passed by, their bodies couldn't take the high level of damage, and they hung up their boots one after the other.

Some of them are now working on the sidelines and spending their time with their families. With that said, let's take a look at the personal lives of ten such former wrestlers and see which of them have become grandfathers.

10 Sting

Current AEW star and WCW legend Sting is the first entrant on the list. While his exploits inside the ring are well-documented in history, the WWE Hall of Famer has made sure that his personal life remained far away from the spotlight and kept his family away from the hype.

Sting has three children from his first marriage, two sons and one daughter, and reportedly has a grandson and a granddaughter. As said earlier, he keeps his private life away from the spotlight, and that applies to his children and grandchildren as well.

9 IRS

WWE legend and former 5-time Tag Team Champion Irwin R. Schyster is the father of WWE superstars Bray Wyatt and Bo Dallas and also has one daughter named Mika.

IRS retired in 2003, and his two sons followed in his footsteps and became WWE superstars. While Bo Dallas stayed in the mid-cards throughout his original run, Bray Wyatt went on to become a multiple-time world champion.

IRS became a grandfather through his son Bray Wyatt who has four children from his two marriages. He made his last WWE appearance in January 2023 on the 30th-anniversary episode of Raw and could possibly appear on WWE television in the future as well.

8 Ted DiBiase

The Usos and Solo Sikoa have two children each, which makes Rikishi the grandfather of at least six grandchildren. Coming from the iconic Anoa'i family, Rikishi and his offspring have all been successful in-ring performers for WWE, and let's hope some of his grandchildren also follow in their footsteps and become successful pro wrestlers in the future.

WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin has been married four times in his life and has two daughters with his second wife and former wrestling manager Jeanie Clarke.

Jeanie Clarke had a daughter named Jade Adams from her first relationship, and Austin became her stepfather after the wedding, and it is through her that the Texas Rattlesnake became a grandfather when Jade gave birth to her child in 2010.

Austin came out of retirement for one night when he took on Kevin Owens in an impromptu match at WrestleMania 38, and it's unclear if wrestling fans would see him lace up his boots once again.

1 Batista

Batista makes his entrance at WrestleMania 35.

Former 6-time World Champion and current Hollywood star Batista became a grandfather at a very young age when his daughter Keilani gave birth to her first son when The Animal was just 38 years old.

She was only 16 when she gave birth, and Batista had a hard time adjusting to the fact that his daughter became a teenage mother. Eddie Guerrero was the one who reportedly helped Batista overcome mental struggles and helped him get a better understanding of his situation.
