5 WWE Superstars and their original career choices

#4 WWE Superstar Omos - Former Basketball Player

Omos is one of the strongest and most intimidating wrestlers on the current WWE roster.

It is no surprise that before joining the company, Omos was a dominant basketball player, courtesy of his towering height.

The former RAW Tag Team Champion played basketball throughout his school years at Atlantic Shores Christian School in Chesapeake, Virginia. He then continued pursuing the sport during his college days where he played in the center position for the University of South Florida and Morgan State University in Baltimore. Omos was keen on becoming a professional basketball player but finally chose a career in professional wrestling.

#3 WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair - Former Volleyball Player

Charlotte Flair is arguably one of the finest female superstars in the business.

The current SmackDown Women's Champion, despite being an immensely gifted athlete since her childhood, never wanted to pursue a career in professional wrestling. She channeled her naturally competitive drive into a successful NCAA Volleyball career.

Wrestling has always been her legendary father Ric Flair and brother Reid's territory. It was only when her brother tragically died in 2013 did Charlotte decide to make professional wrestling a career to honor her late brother who always dreamed of becoming a successful wrestler.

The WWE Universe is surely glad Charlotte got into professional wrestling as the legacy she has carved is certainly second to none.
