And last - but not least - we have Daniel Bryan. The Leader of the Yes Movement is one of the biggest stars in WWE right now. Aside from that, he is also an in-ring technician and submission specialist. Many members of the WWE Universe are familiar with his work inside and outside the ring and what goes on in his personal life.

The one thing, however, that most people don't know is that the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion also played a security guard in the WWE. Unbelievable? I know. On the February 6th, 2003 episode of SmackDown, Bryan was one of the security guards who tried to stop Brian Kendrick from streaking.

Kendrick, who wanted to impress then-SmackDown General Manager Stephanie McMahon in order to earn himself a WWE contract, ran around the arena in his birthday suit while being chased by security. Daniel Bryan also competed in WWE as an enhancement talent from 2002 to 2003.

His most notable match as a jobber was when he took on John Cena on an episode of Velocity. Before officially becoming a WWE Superstar, Bryan competed in various promotions such as Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.

In 2010, after re-signing with WWE the previous year, Bryan, along with other Superstars from the first season of NXT known as The Nexus, made their presence felt on RAW and attacked John Cena, other members of the WWE crew and demolished the ring. Daniel was immediately fired after that for his actions during the invasion angle.

He returned to the company for the third time shortly after that and went on to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania XXX. And to think it all started with him being used as an extra.
