I just thought of another one. Earlier we established that the Fonz is connected, right? So does that mean shows that made the "Fonzie jumps the shark/busses" reference count? If so, that means South Park counts (even more credible since Henry Winkler did some voicing for them), which could mean the Wrestling Takedown Federation is a whole sub-division within WWE! Rad Russian and Rusev for tag champs! A show is a show in another show's universe....should it count, or is it too easy? (If we are accepting it, Leave it to Beaver can go in as it was referenced on Married with Children.) When Stephen Amell was guesting on Raw, did Stardust imply that he really was Arrow? If so, Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow = all real to WWE. Shocked we haven't got The Golden Girls into this yet (yes I know Betty White was on Raw, but it was as herself...)

Stardust kept calling him Oliver yes. But it was played that he was insane so I wouldn't count that as being real.

Cosmo Kramer, not Michael Richards, was nominated for a Slammy Award once, so add the Seinfeld universe to this list I guess. I'll leave it to debate whether Kramer being in the same purgatory Hulk Hogan is now in would affect this. But...Seinfeld means...Curb Your Enthusiasm too! Given how CYE tries to blur the "real" people and the show, Vince Russo would have loved to book this at this point, I'm sure. But just imagine the mic work Larry David could do against the WWE superstars! How about Herb from Burger King appearing on Mania 2? Does this make the Marvelous, Magical Burger King and his friends real? The Burger King Kids' Club? The modern creepy King?

I also think Gillberg lied to us, and that maybe, just maybe, the Battling Turtles WERE the real thing. WWE just covered it up when they were trying to hide evidence of the multiverse.
Wait! Inspector Gadget was on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show too. So Gadget + WWE!!! Didn't Don Adams appear on SMBSS as Maxwell Smart too?
Given all the cameos on it, I think it's safe to say that Animaniacs belongs in the WWE Universe too. Meaning so does Tiny Toon Adventures (then again, since TTA exist with the adult WB cartoons....)

In that mobile game Avengers Academy, John Cena provides the voice for the Hulk, which links the WWE Universe to the Marvel Universe. Meanwhile, Batista appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy links the WWE Universe to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. EDIT: I just remember WrestleMania being namechecked in a season 3 episode of Agents of SHIELD, which provides another WWE/MCU link. Which makes things really interesting. We know the quandary about the Lou Ferrigno Hulk not being real because of what was said on Mister Rogers, which WWE has a connection with. But you also got SHIELD, which leads to the real MCU. So did Ferrigno/Bixby retroactively merely star in a TV show about the MCU Hulk? Even if you don't count the MCU proper because characters from it didn't show up on Raw, you can get around it if you go back to the Disney connection and consider Big Hero 6, which has a Marvel connection. Can we include Pixar with WWE's connection to Disney Animation? I just remembered, Frankenstein was also on Once Upon A Time (speaking of Disney properties). Is this the gateway to including...the Universal Monsters?

Bret Hart once wrestled the Mitsuhara Misawa version of Tiger Mask. Misawa appeared in Space Dandy. SPACE DANDY + WWE!!!!

And how did soap fan that I am forget that General Hospital ties into the WWE, as Alice (the former lady wrestler) was visited in the hospital by David Otunga, who she said was her favorite (obviously WWE has pocket universes which, if one taps into them, one can still see Otunga actually on TV!). So this ties in Port Charles and I'm sure others too.

I think some people are missing the point. Just because a TV show or movie, etc. mentions or acknowledges the existence of WWE/wrestling doesn't mean it exists in the same universe. Just that it is a show on TV like how it is in the real universe. Additionally a wrestler acting in a film or TV show doesn't mean the characters in that show exist in the same universe.
It would only count if characters from some other universe shows up in wrestling and they act as if it's the actual character and not an actor portraying them. Such as Robocop in WCW.

Someone mentioned Seinfeld & soap operas. Seinfeld is in the same universe as Mad About You and Friends. Joey was on Days of Our Lives. So, that would connect WWE to Days. And what about Malcolm in the Middle, they showed Bret Hart and Chris Benoit wrestling in the opening. How does that fit in? This is crazy.

Pretty much this, yeah. I was looking more at people that appeared as their characters on WWE/F programming.

I wouldn't imagine any of these count simply by referring to WWE or having appearances by wrestlers in other roles.
To be considered as a crossover, that wrestler would have to be totally kayfabe in their appearance, or a star from another show would have to appear on WWE as their character.

I'm surprised that it hasn't been brought up that Adam West appeared in Memphis in character as Batman. A crossover with Batman '66 opens up an insane amount of crossovers from the cameo on that show alone, including the Addams Family, Hogan's Heroes, and the Green Hornet.

Hold everything! Since Daffy Duck kind of crossed over with Dick Tracy...would that put that in the realm of WWE reality? And as a result, we have a gateway to the UPA/Columbia characters, as Mr. Magoo once did the same, as well as having the UPA Tracy series. Then you have when Tracy teamed with the Archies, so Archie and Sabrina's universes can cross over with the WWE as well!!! Oh, and if Disney counts Wreck-It Ralph, you can count the following and their universes: If you bring in Street Fighter, that Brings in at least 3 other Multiverses via Ryu.

He was actor that played a role on Days. Who would've thought that I would be talking about Days on a wrestling board.

Joey played a character on the show. So the show might exist in the universe, but the characters aren't tied to the WWE like what is being implied in the main post.

So does that mean only that animated Bat world exists in Scooby/WWE, or the whole '66 Batverse? And if it is the whole world and that includes the comics, that introduces characters not seen on either show at the time.

Baywatch is real in WWE through being crossed over in WCW, but Pam Anderson also appeared in WWE as herself, so....
No one made the obvious Boy Meets World connection yet.
Does Home Alone count? I don't think we got a clear answer on whether or not it was Kevin or Culkin on Raw that time.
