10 WWE Superstars Who Didn't Debut As Wrestlers

4. Tye Dillinger

First Appearance: 5 November 2006

Official Debut: 29 January 2017

Speaking of the Perfect Ten and his aeons-long WWE career, here he is playing a put-upon production assistant in a DX skit in 2006. Dillinger, new to developmental, appeared as Stan, who took a comedy superkick to prove that Shawn Michaels was "controversial". Bless WWE and their omnipresent buzzwords.

He showed up a few times on the WWE version of ECW as Gavin Spears before getting released, rehired and working all the way through developmental again. His true, real, undisputed main roster debut came just over ten (TEN! TEN! TEN!) years later, when he triumphantly entered the Royal Rumble match at - what else - number 10.
