10 WWE Superstars With Surprising Degrees
Brains and Brawn - these ten wrestlers have got it all.
Summer is a time of happiness, a time of late nights at the beach, hanging out with friends, and drinking far more than you're supposed to. It's also a time for panicking about whether or not you've passed your exams or not.
Some of you may have taken your last exams ever, graduating from school, university, or college, ready for the real world.
Existential dread aside, earning your degree is something to be very proud of. It's the culmination of years of hard work and can open the door to many exciting career options. Including, as it turns out, being a professional wrestler.
The follow ten WWE wrestlers all took the academic route to the ring, graduating with varied and sometimes bizarre qualifications before enrolling in the school of hard knocks.
So, if you've recently graduated with any of the follow degrees, then who knows, maybe we'll see you in a WWE ring one day. But maybe get some actual wrestling training before you try it out. Pretty sure that's what these guys did.
10. Lana - Dance and Acting
If we cast our minds back to Lana's ill-fated singles run a few years ago, this makes a lot of sense.
Lana, real name Catherine Perry, debuted in NXT in 2013, aligning herself with future husband, Rusev.
The couple have been an on-screen pairing ever since and have been involved in many memorable moments. At one point, Lana was way more over than her husband. Then again, this was before anyone actually saw her wrestle.
Even before joining WWE, Lana was in the public eye. She gained serious exposure during her time at Florida State University, where she and her fellow female students cheered on their college football team whilst dressed as cowboys in the stands.
Lana had other reasons to be at Florida State apart from raising the blood pressure of the straight male audience.
She was studying acting and dance, the latter of which had been her passion from a young age. Before enrolling at FSU, Lana danced for some of the top institutions in the country, including the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance, the oldest dance company of its kind in the world.
Lana would incorporate these skills into her wrestling persona, but, as we mentioned earlier, the less said about that the better.
