5 current WWE Superstars you might not know have been wrestling for more than 20 years

#2. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens was known as Kevin Steen

Kevin Owens, famously known as Kevin Steen before he joined WWE, has been one of the top performers for the company for five years or so. KO doesn’t have the "ideal physique" required to become the face of WWE, but his outstanding in-ring and mic skills have helped him become one of the best in the world.

While KO has been with WWE since 2014, it might come as a surprise to many readers that the 36-year-old has been competing for over 20 years now. As a 14-year-old, Owens started training in his hometown in Quebec. He went on to compete in his first wrestling match in May 2000.

Since then, KO has strived to become the best in the industry and has tried to break the norms while doing so. In 2003, KO made his International Wrestling Syndicate debut and followed it up with appearances for Combat Zone Wrestling.

However, his best work before entering WWE came for Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) and Ring of Honor (ROH), as he went on to become the World Champion for both the promotions.

KO is now a one-time NXT Champion and Universal Champion in WWE, and he is one man who can help the company reach new heights in the years to come.
