All Elite Wrestling (AEW) backstage interviewer Lexy Nair recently shared the amusing and awkward story of her first meeting with her now-husband, AEW star Big Bill. The encounter took place at the home of her stepfather, WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page (DDP), under less-than-ideal circumstances.
Nair revealed in a recent social media Q&A that she first crossed paths with Big Bill, formerly known as Big Cass in WWE, while she was simply walking through the house in her bathrobe. According to her account, the unexpected meeting was a brief and somewhat embarrassing moment that has since become a cherished anecdote for the couple.
“It was an awkward but funny moment that we now look back on and laugh about,” one source familiar with the couple’s story stated. The home of Diamond Dallas Page has long been known as a hub for wrestlers, many of whom visit for personal and professional reasons, including to participate in his renowned DDP Yoga program. This environment, analysts note, often leads to unexpected interactions among industry figures.
Big Bill (William Morrissey) and Lexy Nair have been a public couple for several years and announced their marriage in late 2023. Nair, in addition to her role in AEW, is a key figure in DDP’s business ventures, while Big Bill has experienced a career resurgence as part of the AEW roster.
Wrestling analysts suggest these personal, behind-the-scenes stories are valuable for performers in connecting with their audience on a human level. “Sharing these kinds of lighthearted, relatable moments helps to build a stronger bond between talent and fans,” an industry commentator noted. “It adds a layer of authenticity that complements their on-screen personas.” As Big Bill continues to feature prominently in AEW programming, this glimpse into his personal life offers fans a different perspective on the imposing wrestler.
