5 Current WWE Superstars who once worked ordinary 9-5 jobs 

#3. WWE Superstar Mustafa Ali worked as a police officer

Mustafa Ali worked on the independent circuit for 13 years before he was finally given the shot of a lifetime with WWE in 2016.

While training and working for several Indy promotions, Ali financed his dream by wrestling during the day and working night shifts as a police officer.

Ali spoke to ESPN ahead of WrestleMania 34 about trying to juggle his dream alongside the career he needed to make ends meet.

"Yeah, it sucked, man. There were days I'd wrestle at 9 o'clock, and afterward, I often didn't shower and would just throw on sweatpants. I had my police gear in the car and would rush to get to the station by 10:30, clean myself off as best I could and be ready for my shift by 10:59."

Ali's big break came when he was chosen for the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic. Though he didn't win, the former officer was signed to WWE and has since been moved to the main roster.

Ali was recently moved over to SmackDown as part of the WWE Draft alongside his new teammate Mansoor.
