Alberto Del Rio
Del Rio isn't a guy you want to deal with in a fight

To say Alberto Del Rio shot to relevance in the WWE would be a dramatic understatement. The Mexican sensation rose to the top of the company by winning the Royal Rumble and going on to capture a number of world titles. Unfortunately the latter stages of his career there were a tad more controversial, but regardless of that, what we should we discussing is his impressive MMA career.

Throughout 14 professional fights Del Rio accumulated a record of 9 wins and 5 losses, with one of his bouts even coming against the legendary Cro Cop. The former WWE Champion became known for being something of a submission specialist, and it highlights the fact that he may well have been one of the most legit guys in the WWE locker room.

Onto someone you really, really wouldn't expect to appear on this list.
