10 WWE Superstars Who Didn't Debut As Wrestlers
2. Natalya, Tyson Kidd, And D.H. Smith
First Appearance: 6 July 1997
Official Debut: 12 May 2009
In Your House: Canadian Stampede is often called one of the greatest WWE PPVs of all time, and rightfully so; the card is short but stacked, and the main event is elevated from throwaway house show tag to EPIC MUST SEE SHOWDOWN by a certifiably molten Calgary crowd acting as if the Harts were literal Olympian gods. After Owen pinned Steve Austin to end the match, all 4,236 then-living members of the Hart family filed into the ring to celebrate. Among the assembled throng? Tiny, tweenage versions of future WWE superstars Natalya, Tyson Kidd, and D.H. Smith.
The route that led to the debut of the Hart Dynasty was rather circuitous. Natalya debuted on SmackDown to 2008, and Smith was supposedly drafted to Raw, although he never actually appeared. It wasn't until 2009 that all three members converged on the WWE version of ECW.
