Before the gold, before the main event, they were nothing. Zero's. Exras in the background.

Jobbers paid to lose, failures before they ever mattered. But wrestling doesn't reward potential, it rewards survival.

And in this compilation, we will tell you how Liv Morgan went from a cap-wearing NXT enhancement talent to the epicenter of

WW's Women's Division, how John Moxley traded pink hair for

WrestleMania main events, and a whole lot more.

Here are 41 W.WE Nobodies who somehow became world champion,

starting off with Garif Morgan and those pesky extras.

Everyone has to start somewhere, folks, and the same goes for many of the wrestling champions of the world, too.

So with that in mind, let's have a look back on the often, silly and pretty much always hilarious days,

these eventual superstars spent dancing around like goofballs and playing

security guard within the biggest organization in the game.

I am Gareth, this is What Culture Wrestling, and here are 19 WWE extras who became world champion.

Number 19, Claudio Castagnoli.

The first of many future world champions to pop up on WW programming, acting like a person

qualified to protect one of the product stars, Claudio Castignoli would actually first

arrive in the land of sports entertainment back in 2006.

At that point, the human horse was still doing his thing over in Ring of Honor, but he

understandably jumped at the chance to appear on the WW flagship Monday Night Raw on

August 28th of that year, and it was on that night when the eventual ROH world champion strutted

into frame, alongside none other than EC3, with those two future WWB talents pretending to be cops backing up

Shane McMahon, as he confronted a D-Generation X who had been terrorising his father.

Thankfully, most people remember this cringy exchange more for the Blackpool Combat Club
