10 WWE Wrestlers Who Break The Corporate Mould

Whatever version of Sami Zayn you are watching, whether it's his babyface run in early NXT or his current position on the main roster, it's impossible to say that he suits the corporate image that WWE loves to present. There's a manner in which WWE likes to depict its superstars, and that's as real-life superheroes. But compared to even the most ordinary-looking performers on this list, Zayn is the most relatable and average person on the block.

The former El Generico has always been special thanks to his relatability. Despite his spectacular wrestling skills, his slightly slimmer frame and innocent face make him look like someone you could easily walk into on the street. This has only increased recently, as his unkempt hair and overgrown beard, paired with a far more casual approach to his ring-attire have made him look even further from a WWE star.

While this is all part of the appeal - as WWE clearly understand that he goes against their image - it doesn't change the fact that Zayn completely breaks the boundaries and requirements of a company who never show public support for his tremendous philanthropic efforts.
