10 must-see photos of WWE Superstars in High School

#8 Kofi Kingston

2019 has been the biggest year in the career of Kofi Kingston. Ever since that gauntlet match on SmackDown in February, Kofi has not looked back. KofiMania was one of the biggest storylines heading into WrestleMania 35 that concluded with Kofi defeating Daniel Bryan to become the first African-born WWE Champion in the history of the company.

The picture above shows a young Kofi Kingston (Real Name: Kofi Nahaje Sarkodie-Mensah) during his time at Winchester High School in Boston. This little guy in the picture went on to sign a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2006, and the rest is history. Would Royal Rumbles have been so much fun without him?

#7 Brock Lesnar

Arguably one of the most dominant superstars in WWE history, Brock Lesnar (Real Name: Brock Edward Lesnar) has made a special name for himself in the world of pro wrestling and MMA. After his stint with UFC, he returned to the company in 2012 and ever since has been nearly unstoppable - winning the WWE championship five times.

Well, aren't you surprised to look at this picture of a young innocent-looking Lesnar (who knew we would ever use the word innocent to describe the Beast Incarnate!) Don't let the face fool you though, as he still has a jacked-up physique. During his time in Webster High School, Lesnar used to play football and compete in amateur wrestling.

Lesnar boasts of both WWE and MMA experience and has been the 'man to beat' over the last decade in the squared circle. He has been rated highly by management and it is important not to forget that it was Lesnar who was chosen to end the Undertaker's streak.
