15 Unseen Photos Of Your Favorite WWE Legends When They Were Young

For many years, in order to keep kayfabe alive, wrestlers had to keep their life low key so that they don’t reveal their actual identity. But, these days when social media is so much in and other social platforms as well that it has become very difficult to maintain that privacy. Being in the spotlight, fans are curious to know how the superstars looked like in their young age, and how did they age since then. Thankfully, the internet has all the ways now to end our curiosities by providing us all the information about our superstars.

We have always seen all wrestlers in the ring and imagining them in any other appearances is quite impossible. For us, Mark Calaway will always be Undertaker no matter what age he is and imagining him in his childhood is quite surprising.

Some of them were huge from childhood and thought of getting into wrestling whereas transformations of some are just unbelievable. Here are the pictures of some wrestlers from their childhood!

1. Braun Strowman

We can now easily tell where did Braun gets his looks from. He is very much close to his Dad till date and we can see so many posts and pictures on Instagram where they portray Dad Son goals while fishing or any such activities.

2. Finn Balor

You can tell this is Finn Balor by his unmistakable charming smile. He has always been a happy-go-lucky guy. He was named Fergal Devit when he was in Ireland, and seeing him in soccer jersey is not at all a surprise. Before becoming a pro wrestler he was fond of soccer and was a pro in it too.

3. Shane and Stephanie McMahon

During their childhood, their father was struggling to make ends meet. Their dad was still trying to gather enough of a fortune to buy WWF from his father Vince Sr. which means he had to try many other jobs and possible ways to leave his kids home with Linda. With his dad out mostly, Shane had to take up a lot of responsibilities and as we can see the picture and mention by Stephanie he’d always had Shane’s back with her.

4. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte opened up a little in ESPN’s 30, that seeing her dad’s ridiculous party habits and not being available for the family she never wanted to get into wrestling. But, her brother started training her, before passing away and when he was gone, she decided to take the legacy forward in honor of his late brother.

5. John Cena

It was always his goal to make it to the company after being such a huge fan of wrestling. We have seen many videos and photos where he was seen trying wrestling moves on his childhood friends. But, who expected him to become such superstar one day? In the photo, Cena is holding a customized title, but now his fan has become used to holding the title with his 16 world title reigns.

Love him or hate him, he has always been loyal and dedicated towards the industry and it’s the most admirable thing about him.

6. Sasha Banks

We are all aware of Sasha’s story as she has said it at the WWE universe many times and her path to the company. Unlike other Divas, she always wanted to become a wrestler whereas other people had a background or at least they tried in different fields, but Bank’s mind and the goal we’re always set. Though it was not at all the cakewalk for her and she had to face a lot of difficulties. But, since she was the cousin of Snoop Dogg, she had the connections through him and used to meet many stars before she became one herself.

7. The Undertaker

The Undertaker is one of those wrestlers, who we cannot even imagine other than their appearance. But it is always interesting to learn about their personal life. And when it comes to keeping a low profile, the first name that pops up in the head is Undertaker himself.
Seeing his photo as a kid is quite strange and who knew this little kid would take the identity of a dead man?

8. Randy Orton

Don’t you think it’s quite difficult to differentiate between John Cena and Randy Orton in their childhood pic? Their haircut won’t make much difference either, but the joyful kid has become one of the most successful wrestlers in history. Even after that angelic face in the photo, no one could stop Randy to become that controversial name among everyone. Despite being in controvert, nothing could stop him to keep his name high on the top list in 15 years.

9. The Bella Twins

Even if you go and see their childhood photos, they have been the center of attraction always. From loveable twins to WWE superstars, Nikki and Brie have always been adorable.
Before wrestling, they have tried many careers which included soccer, modeling. Wrestling wasn’t exactly on the top of their list but that nearly didn’t happen either as they were rejected for the 2006 WWE Diva Search before they caught the attention of WWE officials.

10. Alexa Bliss

She has grown exactly the younger self of her own, it’s not really hard to guess the superstar in the picture. Her features remain the same. During those times she was going through eating disorder problems which became serious at a certain point in time because she lost 30 pounds in six weeks. Today she is running the women’s division as the current Raw women’s champion and has been the face of the division for the past year.

11. Brock Lesnar

He has always been an athlete, even before he made it to WWE. As you can see in the photo, which is taken at the gym, where he has been working on his body. He has given a lot of time in the industry and has also found success in the UFC where he won the heavyweight championship. So, in the end, we can say that his hard work was all worth the effort.

12. Roman Reigns

As we can see from the pictures, there are a lot of changes from his childhood. Though it’s a good thing since appearance matters a lot in the wrestling industry as he has become the face of the year after John Cena switched it to a part-timer.

13. The Miz

You can not really make much difference in the childhood photo and now. He still looks the same. Like other superstars, he was also enrolled in many sports and grew up as a wrestling fan, but it took him a lot of time to achieve success in this. He impressed everyone in 2004, WWE Tough Enough. Since then, he has improved a lot and worked really hard for what he is today.

14. Daniel Bryan

You can see some of the features are still apparent but we can also conclude that he was an adorable baby then. Today, he has a daughter who is equally adorable as him. There is even a rumor of him getting back into ring action as WWE will soon decide about the decision taken previously by them. Fans would be really happy to see him wrestling again with so many with whom he didn’t fight before.

15. CM Punk

CM Punk Wasn’t always this charismatic and charming what we saw in WWE run. From his childhood photos, we couldn’t even tell that one day he would get into WWE, and his fans would literally chant his name once he left. But, the photos show he always had games from his young age. So, we can say his fame has to do very little with success.
