5 WWE superstars you didn't know once worked for NJPW

#4) The Dudley Boyz

The Dudleyz won tag team gold everywhere!

The Dudley Boyz's New Japan Pro Wrestling adventure didn't actually start until much later on in their careers. Whereas most veterans originally had their run in Japan early on, D-Von and Bubba Ray didn't get their taste of Japanese wrestling until their run with TNA.

TNA and NJPW's collaboration program saw the Dudleys win the IWGP World Tag Team Championships on two occasions and even attend the third and fourth annual Wrestle Kingdom shows - winning the belts at Wrestle Kingdom III and losing them for the final time at Wrestle Kingdom IV.
