'It's just banter' - Aston Villa and Birmingham City fans travel to London for WWE Smackdown match - have you spotted them yet?

Two lads named Sam, both 29-years-old, recently took social media by storm after fans started to see them in the crowd every week. 

The pair, who are directors for a company in Worcester, were seen sporting shirts of rival football clubs Birmingham City and Aston Villa, in the front row as John Cena and Cody Rhodes opened the show with their ongoing 'fued' at Glasgow's RAW show .

They have also been known to hold a sign featuring the word 'Yeet' - the catchphrase of wrestler Jey Uso.  It also featured the team logos, Union flags and the logo of their company. 

Fans couldn't believe their dedication - and the lads themselves couldn't believe the attention they had gained online. 

Speaking to the Express & Star as they make their way to Friday night SmackDown in London (March 28), one of the lads, who asked only to be referred to by their first names, said: "It started because basically, I said I think we should wear Villa and Blues shirts - it'll be funny. 

"I didn't expect this sort of reaction but the banter we've got from Villa and Blues fans but it's all about the banter really. We knew we'd get a bit of backlash because we're mates who support rival clubs but it's just banter to be honest." 

The pals explained how they had known each other for 15 years, growing up together before they started their successful firm back in 2021. 

It is due to this success that they have been able to keep up with their wrestling tour "hobby" as following it across the world is admittedly "not cheap". 

But despite being seen at several shows together, the lads say nothing beats their first one. 

"Our favourite so far has to be Wrestlemania 39 in California," they said. 

"That was our first holiday together and our first time at WWE. The excitement over there and the atmosphere in one of the biggest stadiums in the world was huge. That has to be the best one I would say."

WrestleMania 39, held in California in April 2023 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, featured thrilling matches, including Roman Reigns defending his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes and the return of legends, making it one of the most memorable events in WWE history.

And the tradition will live on tonight as the duo will likely appear on our TV screens once again as WWE arrives in London for the first of two huge shows at The O2. 

Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk are set to  return to the ring to officially sign the contract, solidifying their collision at The Showcase of the Immortals. 

LA Knight will also his United States Championship on the line against the monstrous Braun Strowman, after Strowman won a number one contenders match last week against ‘The Samoan Werewolf’ Jacob Fatu!
