The stars of WWE are thoroughly enjoying their tour of the United Kingdom - and not just in the wrestling ring!
Smackdown stars Dolph Ziggler and Becky Lynch, who hold the brand's Intercontinental and Women's Championships respectively, headed to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday to watch Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough in the Premier League.
Ziggler posted a picture on Twitter of himself and Dublin-born Lynch posing outside Pep Guardiola's side's stadium, while the two were also introduced to the crowd before kick-off.
However, the wrestlers also provided alternative commentary on the game for Manchester City's media channels, before they defended their belts at a WWE event in the city later in the evening.
Lynch - who also kept hold of her championship with a win over Alexa Bliss at Tuesday's edition of Smackdown in Glasgow - visited reigning Premier League champions Leicester City as well.
The 29-year-old and colleague Baron Corbin had their picture taken with Foxes full-back Christian Fuchs, with Fuchs also helping Corbin deal with the leg injury that has prevented him from competing at Survivor Series.
It's not just the WWE stars that have been showing up at events, though.
Former light-welterweight world boxing champion Amir Khan was in attendance for the Manchester show, while West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster watched Wednesday's event in Birmingham.
Plus, double Olympic taekwondo champion, Wales' Jade Jones, accompanied Bayley on her ring walk at Friday's event at Wembley Arena.
Jones later tweeted: "Had a good time at @WWEUK! Was amazing getting to do a walk out with @itsBayleyWWE and the rest of the stars! I wanted to get in there."
Last Friday, WWE's Bella Twins, Nikki and Brie, popped into Sky Studios for an interview - read it here - while they also met up with Sky Football expert Jamie Redknapp.
