10 MORE 'Before They Were Famous' WWE Cameos You Won't Believe

6. The NXT Roster (Triple H's WrestleMania 32 Entrance)

Casting himself as the babyface NXT creator whenever he's not playing heel on the main roster, Triple H allowed all his future prospects to bask in his reflected glory in his spectacular WrestleMania 32 entrance - though they could only see the 'Grandest Stage' through terrifying skull heads.

It formed a rather spectacular sequence in which Stephanie McMahon cut one of the most convincing promos of her career lambasting the working class audience for spending their hard-earned money on the seven hour sh*tshow they'd just experienced as a way to introduce the WWE Champion as a literal manifestation of the Ultimate Warrior - an indestructible force even challenger Roman Reigns couldn't possibly topple.

Dallas fans still weren't bothered about the bout, and chanted "NXT" (amongst other things) to keep busy - little did they know they'd already been served their favourite superstars.

Big Cass, Enzo Amore and numerous others from the black-and-yellow brand were given replica titles and told to stand deathly still as 'The Game' arrived - it probably mirrored the finishing class advice in Florida Championship Wrestling before Hunter himself took the wheel.
