10 Top Secret Wrestling Debuts That Will Blow Your Mind

10. Joe Hendry Is A Russian Diplomat (2014)

Jumping back to a time before he became WhatCulture Pro Wrestling's WCPW Champion and eventually went on to make Impact Wrestling fans believe in him, Scottish standout Joe Hendry actually made an often overlooked appearance on WWE programming opposite none other than then-United States Champion Rusev and his future wife Lana.

In a moment that hasn't aged terribly well in the near-decade since it arrived on the scene, Hendry took up the role of Russian diplomat on a special UK edition of Monday Night Raw in November 2014, noting how "President Putin couldn't be more proud" of the powerhouse before a shot of the Russian President popped up on the titantron for a few awkward moments.

A Scottish-Russian hybrid of an accent would then deliver a statement congratulating the new mid-card champ, before the Russian clan all vacated the ring in next to no time as former title-holder Sheamus stopped by to say hello.

And while this definitely sits as Hendry's forgotten debut in a speaking role on WWE TV, he did also rock up as a Rosebud in 2014, too.
