23 Wrestlers who made WWE Cameos before they were famous

#2 MJF as a security guard at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 2

Superstar in the making

If you ask anyone in professional wrestling to name the best heel in the business, it won't be surprising if many point to the one and only MJF. Maxwell Jacob Friedman has been a sensation in every company he has ever worked for. Fans detest him and he's a fantastic heel. At the young age of 23, he already has the audience eating out of the palm of his hand.

For instance, during the Double or Nothing Casino Battle Royale, he was consistently gaining heat from the audience. When he was dispatched by Hangman Page, the crowd cheered as Page won the Casino Battle Royale. It was clear that MJF had done his job.

Samoa Joe made @The_MJF his B**** and I’ve never been happier! 😂 https://t.co/EqtKPpRxdA

But like every other wrestler, MJF started on the independent scene. During that time, he eventually worked as an extra dressed as security, accompanying Samoa Joe to the ring at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 2. While he's only slightly ahead of Samoa Joe, he's shoved and made to stay behind Joe. The look that MJF gives is priceless.

It's not clear whether this was intentional or just Samoa Joe being in character. MJF still manages to grab the spotlight for just an instant. It was only a sign of what wrestling fans were going to be treated to in the future.
