19 WWE Extras Who Became World Champion
3. Bryan Danielson
It's common knowledge that Bryan Danielson's WWE career started all the way back in the early 2000's, with the legend who would eventually hold WWE and World Heavyweight Championship gold on numerous occasions famously locking up with John Cena on Velocity back in 2003 - and this all went down after the star had already been signed on a developmental deal and released by WWE a few years earlier.
Around the time of that well-known Cena showdown, though, Danielson would also add another respected accolade to his ultimately impressively long list of accomplishments within the business - appearing as a security guard, of course!
A few days before that Cena fight, the eventual AEW star could be found doing his best to keep a streaking Brian Kendrick under control on February 6's SmackDown.
You see, Kendrick had been challenged to perform this act by Sean O'Haire in the middle of the latter's 'Devil's Advocate' run. And it was during the surreal few minutes that involved him sprinting through the arena in the buff prior to and following an A-Train match when a comically animated D-Bry, dressed as security, tried to step in and stop him in his tracks.
And as it turns out, one of Danielson's All Elite rivals would follow in his footsteps, too...
