#4 Former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler is currently one of the oldest female wrestlers in WWE after joining the wrestling business after a successful MMA career. The Submission Magician came to WWE as part of The Four Horsewomen of MMA and at the time was already known under her real name.

Baszler has been able to adapt to wrestling by bringing in the skills that she learned in the Octagon. The former NXT Women's Champion has dominated the Women's Division since her debut and has put several of her fellow wrestling stars to sleep in the past.


#3 Former WWE United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura

The King of Strong Style was a huge acquisition for WWE given his success in Japan ahead of his NXT debut. Shinsuke Nakamura is a former NXT Champion, but in recent years the Japanese star has been unable to find the same success on the main roster.

Interestingly, Shinsuke Nakamura is one of just a handful of WWE stars who were able to retain their real name after making their WWE debut. Nakamura has wrestled under his given name throughout his almost two-decade-long career.
