#2 Riverdancer Becky Lynch

Dance
Dance, Becky, dance!

We might all know Becky Lynch as the Lass Kicking Irishwoman on SmackDown Live as she drinks imaginary tea with Charlotte Flair. But when Becky made her debut in NXT, she had a much different character.

In fact, she wasn't even the same person. Her name might have been the same, but she wasn't a Steampunk Princess at all. In fact, WWE gave her a very stereotypical Irish gimmick.

Becky Riverdanced to the ring and was displayed as a dancer. She kicked and jiggled her way around Summer Rae, winning her only match with this gimmick before being pulled off television for a bit of tweaking.

Becky would soon come back and become a member of the 4 Horsewomen. But there was a time when people looked at her in the WWE Performance Center and thought she needed to make dancing her speciality.
