Did you think that any stars were in WWE for 10 years?

#4 Fandango

This is a superstar that was pegged for greatness since day one, as many remember Fandango's star power increase when he shockingly beat Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania, but the truth is that Fandango was successful way before that. This is a man that started wrestling in 1999, which is over twenty years ago. For reference, that is longer almost longer than Brock Lesnar's entire wrestling career.

Fandango's work on the indies caught the attention of WWE who signed him up and placed him on their developmental brand DSW(Deep South Wrestling) where he debuted on the 15th of February 2007. It was not long before he moved to FCW where he enjoyed moderate success as an FCW Tag Team Champion.

Fandango then participated and won NXT's fourth season(this was back when Titus O Neal was dropping kegs), before joining the main roster as the dancing sensation we all adore today. While Fandango's career might not have gone as many expected it to go, at least he gave us some memorable moments along the way.

#5 Big E

The powerhouse of the New Day had only risen into mainstream prominence back in 2013 when he was teaming with Dolph Ziggler. However, Big E has surprisingly been in the company longer than you might have expected.

Before the booty shaking pancake loving new day member was entertaining fans all over the world, he was making a name for himself down in FCW, as Big E debuted on the brand back in December of 2009. While it will only be ten years of Big E in December this year, it's safe to say that we will definitely see him complete his decade in the company, and many more years to come as well.

All of Big E's accomplishments in the WWE were only possible due to the man proving himself in the New Day, as who knows where he would have been if the group didn't find the popularity they had in 2015. Fans feel that Big E has not reached to full potential as yet, and imagine the day that happens, we could have a future World Champion ready to dominate.
