No matter how intense the professional rivalry is, compassion always prevails. There are great examples of superstars who are rivals on the field but off-court they have a super tight bond, like tennis legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Whatever the friction, they always limited it to on-court but after the game, they were the best of pals.

The same holds true for other sports personalities as well. As in the case of Brazilian AEW star Tey Melo who passed her good wishes to her fellow WWE competitor Carmella on completing 20 weeks of pregnancy.
