10 Most Important Off-Screen WWE Personnel

6. Canyon Ceman

WWE SQUAD!

Canyon Ceman is a ludicrous man with a ludicrous name. A former professional beach volleyball player - yes, that's a real thing - Ceman is WWE's current Senior Director of Talent Development - which basically means he's Triple H's right-hand man and NXT's major-domo.

All-American Ceman won a silver medal at the 1997 Beach Volleyball World Championships, a sporting pedigree apparently enough to earn him the job as chief scout for one of the biggest entertainment organisations in the world. Since 2012, it has been Ceman's role to dredge up a range of potential out of the ocean of real sports, from failed footballers to amateur Olympians. He also keeps a beady eye on the burly behemoths of Strongman competitions, giving rise to arguably his greatest (only?) real success, Braun Strowman.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
