Braun Strowman isn't regarded as an NXT product in the same way that many others on this list are, part of the explanation for which is the fact that he looks like he was personally built by God himself.

There's another factor at play here though, namely that his time down in Florida was largely uneventful. He had one or two matches, LARPed around with the Rosebuds, and then got fast-tracked to Monday Night Raw a couple of weeks later.

When he got there, he was cast in the role of The Black Sheep of the Wyatt Family, one that saw him rub shoulders with the likes of Undertaker and Kane almost immediately. He looked impressive, albeit incredibly rough around the edges.

Thankfully, the company stuck with him, and since cutting ties with Bray in 2016, he has become one of WWE's biggest stars, so much so that he was able to transition into a genuinely beloved baby-face (if you can imagine such a thing) late last year.
