5 Superstars who were bullied before making it big in WWE 

#2 Kofi Kingston

Kingston captured the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 this year.

In 2019, Kofi Kingston is riding high as one-third of the New Day, as well as the WWE Champion. But before Kofi was the top star on SmackDown Live, before he had even made it in WWE, the future champion was bullied at school. Speaking to CyberSmile before he hosted WrestleMania 33 with Xavier Woods and Big E, Kofi said how he was often bullied because of his name.

"I was bullied over several things when I was younger," said Kingston. "I specifically remember being bullied over my name, to the point where I would go home upset my parents hadn't named me 'Joey'."

Kingston was able to push past all this, and has become a beacon of positivity in the New Day. The Ghanian Superstar is now showing the world what happens when you believe in yourself.
