10 Current Superstars who started their professional wrestling career with WWE

#9 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt went through a number of character changes

Braun Strowman isn’t the only member of The Wyatt Family who was discovered by WWE. The faction's leader, Bray Wyatt, too made his first professional signing with the company.

Wyatt competed in wrestling at the state level and also played football at college level. He earned a football scholarship for Troy University, where he played for two years before dropping out.

As a third-generation wrestler, things worked in Wyatt’s favor, as he followed in the footsteps of his grandfather Blackjack Mulligan, and father Mike Rotunda (aka IRS).

Wyatt debuted using the name Alex Rotundo in Florida Championship Wrestling in April 2009 and went through several name changes later. He rose to fame as a member of the villainous faction The Nexus and competed with them from 2010 to 2011 under the ring name Husky Harris.

After returning to NXT in 2011, he was rebranded as Bray Wyatt, the villainous leader of The Wyatt Family, with the group eventually making its main roster debut in 2013. Since then, Bray Wyatt has remained one of WWE's top superstars and has been a crowd favorite.
