While the WWE Universe is familiar with how superstars look today, many might not have seen them when they were kids.

In the past few years, some superstars have shared rare videos of their childhood with their fans. A few of these videos aired on WWE's show "My Son/Daughter is a WWE Superstar."

Some wrestlers also posted videos of themselves as kids on their social media accounts. One of these WWE Superstars dressed up as Spice Girls and showcased her singing abilities.

The WWE Universe might have only seen the previously mentioned videos recently. However, many fans might have caught a glimpse of a current WWE Superstar on WCW television 21 years ago, when she made a rare and brief appearance.

Here are five rare videos of WWE Superstars in their childhood.


#5. WWE Superstar Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is currently one of the top and most accomplished WWE Superstars on the roster. The Drip God is a four-time World Champion, six-time Tag Team Champion, two-time Intercontinental Champion, a former United States Champion, and former NXT Champion.

However, before he became a professional wrestler, Rollins had a normal childhood. He grew up in a small town in Buffalo, Iowa, and fell in love with pro wrestling at a very young age. In an episode of "My Son is a WWE Superstar," Rollins' mother revealed that he was an animated individual, and she used to call him The Drama King.

Throughout the episode, Rollins and his mother shared several rare videos from the WWE Superstar's childhood. Some of them date back to 1990. In one of these videos, a young Rollins hits his Hulk Hogan toy with a Crossbody before pinning it for the three counts.

In other videos, a young Rollins played with his and his brother's inflamed toys of WWE legends. He even slept with them.

"I loved WWE since I can remember. One of my favorite things were the wrestling buddies. I had a Hulk Hogan one and my brother had an Ultimate Warrior one," Rollins explained.

Eventually, The Drip God ended up in WWE. He is currently active on Monday Night RAW, where he is now the number one contender for Big E's WWE Championship.

#4. WWE Superstar Carmella

WWE Superstar Carmella was a very active child. She liked to dance, sing, and dress up. The 34-year-old fell in love with the camera at a very young age and was never shy in front of it. Every night she would put on a show for her family with the help of her younger sister.

"Every night it feels like we had a different show. Whether it was a dance show or a fashion show, we would put on music videos. I was just always making my sister do whatever crazy idea that I had. I would do makeup tutorials and put on infomercials. Literally everything. If you put a camera in front of us, we were just hamming it up," Carmella explained on her episode of My Daughter is a WWE Superstar.

During the episode, Carmella and her family shared several rare videos from her childhood. These videos date back to over 21 years ago. In some of them, the current WWE Superstars danced, acted, and sang.

The self-proclaimed 'most beautiful woman in WWE' also shared other videos on her social media accounts. Last month, she posted an old video of herself and her sister dressed up as Spice Girls and signing. The video received many positive comments from Carmella's fans and colleagues.

#3. WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair

Unlike the wrestlers who recently shared their childhood videos on My Son/Daughter is a WWE Superstar, a young Charlotte Flair appeared on television 21 years ago.

In 2000, the SmackDown Women's Champion was 14 years old. Nonetheless, she made a few rare appearances on WCW. Charlotte once appeared for a few seconds alongside her father, Ric, as they arrived at a WCW event. She then made another appearance for barely a few seconds during a WCW segment that involved her father and her half-brother David.

The current SmackDown Women's Champion was also in attendance at The Great American Bash pay-per-view that same year to witness the retirement match between her father and half-brother. In all her brief appearances on WCW in 2000, Charlotte never said a word.

Although she was not initially interested in becoming a pro wrestler, Ric Flair's daughter later followed in her father's footsteps. She joined WWE in 2012 to become one of the most accomplished female superstars in history.

Charlotte recently moved from Monday Night RAW to SmackDown, where she holds the SmackDown Women's Title. The 35-year-old will now go one-on-one with the RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch at Survivor Series.

#2. WWE Superstar The Miz

WWE Superstar The Miz has always liked to steal the show since he was still a child. The Awsome One was an active kid, according to his mother. He was also a competitive child and liked to play basketball.

The Miz and his family shared some rare videos of the 41-year-old playing basketball at home and school on his episode of My Son are a WWE Superstar. They also shared a video of a young Miz with Santa Claus.

The Miz fell in love with pro wrestling at a young age. As a teenager, his friends would come over to his house to watch WWE's pay-per-views together. Several years later, he became a WWE Superstar himself. The former WWE Champion is one of the most successful wrestlers in the company's history, being the only two-time Grand Slam Champion.

In addition to his work in the squared circle, The Miz stars in his reality show Miz and Mrs alongside his wife, Maryse. He also starred in a few movies, including The Marine. The former WWE Champion recently participated in Dancing with the Stars. Nonetheless, he and his dance partner, Witney, were eliminated in the seventh week.

#1. WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss also had her episode of My Daughter is a WWE Superstar. Throughout the episode, the 30-year-old wrestler and her family shared a few videos from Bliss' childhood.

In these videos, a young Bliss looked very comfortable in front of the camera. Her parents filmed her singing and practicing gymnastics.

"I always told him (Bliss' father) from the time she was young with her personality, I said she is either gonna be successful in some sort of, you know, entertainment or we are gonna be supporting her for the rest of her life," Bliss' mother said.

Luckily for Bliss' parents, their daughter went on to become a successful WWE Superstar. She joined Vince McMahon's company in 2013. Despite not winning any titles in NXT, the Five Feet of Fury became one of the top female competitors once she debuted on the main roster in July 2016. Bliss is now a five-time Women's Champion and two-time Women's Tag Team Champion.

Bliss has not competed since September 28. In her last match, the former RAW Women's Champion tried to recapture the title from Charlotte Flair at Extreme Rules but came up short.
