15 Times WWE Stars Made Cameos BEFORE They Were Famous

Recently, Damian Priest told Cody Rhodes that one of his personal requests before putting pen to paper on a fresh WWE contract was that he got to fly first class. The company went for it, and now Priest has all the leg room he could wish for. Good for him. It's legitimately awesome to see pro wrestlers win back some comfort for themselves on the road considering the travel schedules these people keep; that's even true in the modern era when house show loops are minimal.

First class demands were the furthest thing from Damian's mind back at Money In The Bank 2014. He would've run barefoot over broken glass to be there had WWE deemed it necessary, 'cause appearing as part of Stephanie McMahon's personal security team was ye olde foot in the door for a worker who'd been hammering the independent circuit since 2005.

Catching WWE's eye could be his ticket to the top, and Priest definitely had the right look to believably protect the 'Billion Dollar Princess' from those who might wish to inflict harm. That included The Bella Twins (Steph was feuding with Brie at the time) and possibly even Daniel Bryan, who had been dubbed a "B+ Player" by McMahon previously. 

Damian's stoic expression, physical size and menacing stare actually made him one of the better "security guards" WWE has ever placed in the role. The same can't be said for the chap on the right, sadly. He looks like he's waiting for a bus, or just farted and doesn't want anybody to know.

Farting was Natalya's gimmick, sir. The legal team shall be in touch.
