Ring of Honor Wrestling and WWE: Wrestlers who worked for both promotions

#28 Jamie Noble

While Jamie Noble never rose above the lower -mid-card level in the WWE, the independent promotions – Ring of Honor in particular – saw a star in him. After he left the WWE in 2004, ROH signed him up and instantly put the ROH world title around his waist.

Wrestling with his birth name, Jamie Gibson, he beat Punk, Daniels and Joe in a four-way elimination match to capture the coveted title. He held on to the strap for a month before dropping it and returning to WWE.

Interesting Fact: Noble lost the ROH World title to Daniel Bryan.

#29 Maria Kanellis

From being voted as the WWE Diva of the year to the eventual release, Maria Kanellis is just one of WWE’s failed experiments. The self-proclaimed First Lady of ROH had quite a decent run with the promotion along with her real-life boyfriend, Mike Bennett.

The couple was involved in many rivalries with the Benett-Kevin Owens ranking on top of the list. Apart from being Bennett’s valet, the bombshell even wrestled in many mixed tag team matches. Her greatest contributions were always as the supportive girlfriend interfering in her beau’s matches. The couple quit ROH in 2015 due to a round of unsuccessful contract negotiations.

Interesting Fact: Maria wrestled in an inter-gender tag team match alongside Mike Bennett against Brutal Bob Evans and Cheeseburger (The Brutal Burgers).
