There are lots of modern aus with rockstar Eddie, and actor or professional sportsman Steve but I propose professional wrestler Steddie. I know this is niche, but hear me out. Wrestling is the perfect mix of sports (Steve) and drama/ camp (Eddie).
You have a baby face Steve Harrington, who the crowd adores because he’s charismatic on the mic and not afraid to get a little bloody in his matches. Then you have heel Eddie who the crowd loves to hate. He’s got a Lost Boys-style vampire gimmick going on, heavy metal entrance music and has adopted the habit of walking in through the crowds. He’s amazing in tables matches and will take any opportunity to do a choke slam through the announce desk.
The two don’t face each other in the ring often because Steve’s in a longtime feud with Billy Hargrove, whose a hell of a heel but downright dangerous in and out of the ring. He often refuses to sell for Steve and to make matters worse he’s a fan of not pulling his punches.
Eddie and Steve don’t talk much in the locker rooms, they run in different circles and Eddie has the sneaking suspicion Steve is a stuck-up asshole (he’s not).
They end up in a Royal Rumble match, where thirty-odd competitors get in a ring and fight to be the last one standing. Eddie’s sticking to the script. He keeps close to the guy he’s in a feud with until he catches Steve take a bump out of the corner of his eye. Billy’s on him and he’s not pulling his punches. Steve’s nose is gushing. The producers will be pissed because the T.V. network is getting squeamish about showing lots of blood. It’s not the 80s anymore. People don’t do that.
Against his better judgment, Eddie decides to go off script. He takes Billy by surprise and manages to get him over the top rope. He wasn’t supposed to win anyway, so it wasn’t like they were going to dock his pay. He might get hazed in the locker room but that was a worry for another day.
To Eddie’s surprise, Steve looks at him and shoots him a brilliant smile, his teeth filled with blood, his eyes shimmering with mischief. Someone tries to grapple with Eddie from behind but Steve intercepts, saving his ass. Eddie wasn’t meant to win the match either but he wanted as much airtime as he could get. He hates to admit it but he and Steve make a good team. Viewers seemed to agree.
The next day Eddie is approached by his manager, telling him the higher-ups want him and Steve as a tag team. Which means one of two things. He and Steve were going to see a lot more of one another, and for once, Eddie was going to have to play the role of the good guy. It ends with them getting up way too close and personal in practice and pining hard over one another.

an obligatory and predictable post on how one of my self inserts for a fighting game series i got into, un-creatively has mjf's and cm punk's personality copy+pasted onto them and the only other interesting thing about them is that they are tina armstrong's rival (and one of her earliest tag team partners) in-ring.
they may or may not have a enemies to lovers storyline going on between them (and this is occurring both inside and outside of the ring). best comparison i can refer to is whatever the golden lovers had going on applies well to tina and my self insert.
obligatory tag team fallout - narratively in kayfabe it blurs the lines between reality and fiction, but it happened because my self insert caught word that tina would leave wrestling to chase a dream, and she's really selfish about that because to her, she thinks tina is leaving her in the dust as if she doesn't need her. so it just kinda builds up and up and boils over to the point my self insert has a face-heel turn and starts almost verging into 'shoot territory' (go off script and be real in wrestling), all to call out tina for selling out.
she leans into this heel persona/character for a long while until eventually dotec sends them an invitation for the first doa tournament to have one last match with tina guarenteed (and it be a real fight, but tina predictably wins).
uh its a real fight, and it does knocks genuine revelations in her, and afterwards takes a break and does some soul searching until being unexpectedly re-invited again to the second doa tournament that year (something about honoring helena dogulas's father who is a founding member of doatec).
uhhhh this is all before la mariposa and tina were a tag team!
there's some more details i haven't thought of yet, but that's a general idea of my doa self insert.
