Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Randy Orton: 10 greatest pure WWE Superstars ranked

The WWE seemingly has a nearly infinite amount of cash.

They’ve been the top dogs in the wrestling world for as long as anyone can remember and through their prolonged success they’ve built up some incredible resources.

They’re known for raiding the independent scene in order to find and recruit the biggest and best performers and, due to their financial advantage and reputation, they usually get who they want.

Though, what’s less common is WWE creating a home-grown star. Someone with little to no professional wrestling experience prior to signing with WWE who then goes on to superstardom.

Yet, there’s still many successful cases of Vince McMahon’s company building someone from the ground up.

Now, thanks to a list published by WhatCulture, here are 10 famous examples of WWE producing their own stars.

10 – The Miz

The Miz is an absolute staple of WWE today, though, it’s fair to say that this was never really supposed to happen. He came in off the back of appearing in a reality show which didn’t go down well with the majority of the WWE roster. There are the famous stories of The Miz having to get changed in the hallway, but, through hard work and consistency, he’s even accumulated eight intercontinental title reigns.

9 – Trish Stratus

When you think of women’s wrestling, it isn’t long before you think of Trish Stratus. It’s incredible to hear that she had no experience prior to starting with WWE, but Trish was scouted as a fitness model. Everyone remembers her matches with Lita and she’s even brought back today as a special attraction. Deservedly, she is a WWE Hall of Famer.

8 – D’Lo Brown

This entry into the list may not have the same aura as some of the others, but D’Lo was a safe pair of hands who was useful in WWE
