It took a lot of determination and years' worth of hard work for Vince McMahon to turn WWE into the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. The company bagged much more success than anyone would have imagined and is a giant global media conglomerate today.

WWE boasts some of the biggest and most popular wrestlers in the world and has a rich history chock-full of iconic moments that fans still talk about to this day. Megastars like Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Brock Lesnar and many more turned from mid-card acts to WWE legends during their run in the company.

WWE has signed some of the biggest wrestlers in the world in the past but the company also has a history of producing successful talent of its own. In the following list, we will be looking at five WWE Superstars who have never wrestled in another company.

#5 The Fiend (WWE arrival: 2009)

Bray Wyatt is the son of WWE legend Mike Rotunda. Wyatt was initially presented as Husky Harris in WWE NXT with Cody as his mentor. Harris later made his way to the main roster alongside Curtis Axel and was soon inducted into The Nexus. Harris didn't do much of note though and was soon sent back to developmental.

Rotunda debuted a fresh character named Bray Wyatt in April 2012 and went on to make a dominant debut on the main roster against Kane. Wyatt had two sidekicks in Luke Harper and Erick Rowan and the trio wreaked havoc on the main roster over the next two years or so.

Bray Wyatt won his first WWE title inside the Elimination Chamber on the road to WrestleMania 33 in 2017. He unfortunately lost the belt mere weeks later to Randy Orton at WrestleMania. Wyatt also briefly had a tag team run with Matt Hardy.

Bray Wyatt's The Fiend is one of the most interesting characters to ever step foot in a WWE ring

Bray Wyatt defeated King Corbin at Starrcade 2018 and went on a months-long "creative hiatus" following the match. He returned to WWE as The Fiend in mid-2019. He still dons the sinister persona and is currently on hiatus following his feud with Randy Orton. Wyatt has wrestled for WWE for the entirety of his career and it seems highly unlikely that fans will get to see him lace up his boots elsewhere.

#4 Charlotte Flair (WWE arrival: 2012)

Longtime WWE fans who used to tune into WCW during its dying days might recall seeing a young Charlotte Flair on several occasions. Charlotte appeared alongside Ric Flair in various instances during the legend's feud with Vince Russo. Charlotte carried her father's legacy and signed a contract with WWE in 2012. Her first televised singles match was a winning effort against current SmackDown Superstar Bayley.

Charlotte never looked back and went on to become one of the best female wrestlers of the modern era. She made her way to the main roster alongside Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks in 2015. Flair became the inaugural WWE Women's Champion by defeating Banks and Lynch at WrestleMania 32. Flair made history at WrestleMania 35 by being one of three women to headline The Show of Shows for the first time in history. "The Queen" lost the match and her SmackDown Women's title to Becky Lynch on this historic night.

Charlotte Flair was recently ranked #2 in WWE's list of "Top 50 Female Superstars" with Trish Stratus bagging the first spot. It should be noted that Charlotte defeated Stratus in a singles match at SummerSlam 2019 in what many deemed a "passing of the torch" moment.

Flair's name usually comes up when fans talk about wrestlers who are WWE mainstays for life. She holds major star power and is on her way to surpassing her father in terms of the number of title wins. Flair is currently a 12-time Women's Champion.

#3 Roman Reigns (WWE arrival: 2010)

Roman Reigns is another big name that WWE would never let go of, at any cost. He has been with the company for over a decade at this point. Reigns carries a rich legacy formed over the past several decades by the Anoa'i family. He worked for about two years in developmental before making his way to the main roster as part of The Shield.

Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Jon Moxley dominated the main roster for around two years before Rollins turned on his brethren and the faction became history. Thus kicked off Reigns' mega WWE push that very few have received in the past.

Roman Reigns headlined four consecutive WrestleMania main events against the likes of Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, and Triple H. He became the second wrestler to ever defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Reigns was a polarizing figure for years on end, mainly due to WWE forcibly pushing him as a top star despite fans not wanting the same. Reigns finally turned heel last year and has been doing the best work of his career since then.

Roman Reigns won the Universal title last year soon after turning heel and is still holding the belt on the SmackDown brand. He has destroyed some of WWE's best talents along the way and there's no telling who will manage to dethrone him. Reigns is one of the most popular wrestlers in the industry today and it's safe to assume that he isn't going elsewhere for a long time to come.

#2 Alexa Bliss (WWE arrival: 2013)

Alexa Bliss is currently a top name on WWE RAW and is donning the persona of an evil, deranged being. She has had quite a successful WWE run so far and is another big name who has never wrestled outside the company.

It's interesting to note that Bliss had no prior wrestling training before she made her way to WWE in 2013. Bliss' very first televised WWE appearance came at the historic WrestleMania 30 event where she was part of Triple H's grand entrance for his match against Daniel Bryan.

Alexa Bliss moved to WWE SmackDown in 2016 and she has since emerged as one of the most popular faces in WWE. Bliss' popularity is highlighted by the fact that her cameo appearances are always one of the first to get sold out. Bliss is a 5-time WWE Women's Champion across RAW and SmackDown and has also won the WWE Women's Tag Team titles on two occasions.

Bliss was possessed by The Fiend last year and she soon underwent a major character change. Despite the storyline getting bashed by the WWE Universe in many instances, Bliss has been lauded for nailing the character of a disturbing entity.

Her immense popularity is enough to warrant her a spot on the WWE roster for years to come, and it isn't a stretch to assume that Bliss has already had a Hall of Fame-worthy career.

#1 Big E (WWE arrival: 2009)

Big E was a powerlifter before coming to WWE and wowing fans with his hilarious antics. He had quite a long run in Florida Championship Wrestling that lasted around three years. Big E did well for himself in NXT and is a former NXT Champion.

Big E enjoyed a singles mid-card run on the main roster for a while before aligning with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods in 2014. The trio called themselves The New Day and the creation of the stable ended up becoming a major highlight of all three men's careers. The New Day soon became a big hit among fans and began moving large quantities of merchandise on a regular basis.

Less than a year ago, we had to damn near beg for a single item on shop. This Wrestlemania week, The New Day was #1 in Merch sales.

Big E was separated from Kingston and Woods during the 2020 WWE Draft. He is currently a major name on SmackDown and many fans are hoping that he will get a world title push somewhere down the line.

Do you believe that any of these five superstars could wrestle elsewhere in the distant future? Sound off!
