Childhood is arguably the best part of a person's life. When you are a kid, the world isn't so complicated for you and all you want to do is grow up quickly and conquer it. Well, the same was the case for our WWE Superstars who were also little kids once. Little did they know that one day they'll go on to become huge global icons one.

One has to wonder whether some WWE Superstars sometimes look at their childhood pictures and wonder how much they have changed. We all do that, don't we? Smile at all those silly poses, look at the face and wonder "Wow, I can't believe that's me!"

So without further delay, let's take a walk down the memory lane, and take a look at 10 rare photos of WWE Superstars as kids that you need to see. Be sure to let us know your favorite picture in the comments section below.

#10 Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks (Real Name: Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado) is considered by many as one of the best female talents that WWE has seen in their history. Being one of the Four Horsewomen of WWE, she is a former NXT Women's champion and has also won the RAW Women's title four times, along with one reign as the Women's Tag Team Champion with Bayley.

Born in Fairfield, California, Sasha's family moved to various places, before settling in Boston, where she began pursuing her career in professional wrestling. Check out the adorable picture of a little Sasha Banks above. Cute, wasn't she?

#9 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns (Real Name: Leati Joseph "Joe" Anoaʻi) has already achieved so much in his relatively short WWE career that he can already enter the prestigious WWE Hall of Fame. Having main-evented WrestleMania four years in a row, the Big Dog has been one of the most successful Superstars of the last decade.

Being considered as one of the most popular Superstars in WWE history, Reigns wanted to have a career in football and was also signed by Minnesota Vikings. That didn't go too well, and he shifted his focus to professional wrestling. The above picture shows a young smiling Reigns during his high school time.

#8 Bray Wyatt

Kids are mischievous and often get scolded by their parents for it. But what if your wicked mind ends up making you a creative genius? Maybe this is what the case was with Bray Wyatt (Real Name: Windham Lawrence Rotunda).

Having been born in a family already into pro-wrestling, Bray joined NXT in 2010 under the name Husky Harris. Later, he became Bray Wyatt and formed the Wyatt family and had an impressive start on the main roster, only for the gimmick to become stale later on.

The year 2019 was a turning point in his career, as he debuted a new gimmick as the ever-smiling yet creepy Firefly Funhouse host who had a sadistic alter-ego known as The Fiend. Take a look at that little boy in the picture above. Can you imagine him growing up and transforming himself into this devilish creature?

#7 The Miz

The Miz (Real Name: Michael Gregory Mizanin) is one of the best mic-workers in WWE history and has been with the company for nearly 16 years now. Being considered as one of the biggest heels of the last decade, The Miz is a Grand Slam champion in the company, having also main-evented WrestleMania.

He is best known for his Intercontinental Championship reigns and his tag-team with John Morrison. In the above shot, one can see Miz as a little boy, all smiles! Do you realize where did Monroe Sky Mizanin inherit her cuteness from?

#6 Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair (Real Name: Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr), the daughter of the Nature Boy and two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair was pretty much born into the business and has seen every aspect of it since a very little age.

Being considered by many as the best female pro-wrestler in the world, Charlotte is already a 10-time Women's champion in the country and is believed to break her father's record of 16 World titles. Check out the above picture of a baby Charlotte who is enjoying a meal at a restaurant. You better bow down to the little queen, dear reader!

#5 Kofi Kingston

This little boy went on to make history!

Kofi Kingston (Real Name: Kofi Nahaje Sarkodie-Mensah) made history at WrestleMania 35 when he became the first African-born World Champion in WWE history. In what was one of the best storylines of 2019, Kofi is one of the few cases in which fans forced the company to listen to them and made him the champion.

Famous for his creative Royal Rumble saves and his stint with the New Day with whom he is a multi-time Tag Team Champion, Kofi is also a veteran who has been with the company since 2006. The above picture shows a young Kofi striking a pose for the camera. Who would have thought this little boy would go on to make history!

#4 The Bella Twins

Before the Women's revolution began, it was Nikki and Brie, the Bella Twins, who were the stars of the Divas era. Starting their careers as models, they went on to sign developmental contracts with WWE in 2007 and made their main-roster debut the following year.

Both the Bellas are former Divas champions, having won the title a combined three times. The two went to become the top stars of WWE's Total Divas show. In March 2019, both the sisters announced their retirement from in-ring competition due to injuries. Check out the above picture of the adorable twins at their young age. Can you identify which one is Nikki and which one is Brie?

#3 Finn Balor

Finn Balor (Real Name: Fergal Devitt) is a modern-generation WWE Superstars who is considered by many to be the next big thing in the company. Famous for being the one to start the iconic Bullet Club, Balor wrestled in multiple wrestling promotions including New Japan Pro Wrestling, before joining WWE in 2014.

He went on to have a great stint as the NXT Champion and then shocked the world by debuting on the main roster in 2016 and becoming the inaugural Universal Champion by defeating Seth Rollins at Summerslam. His Demon King persona is one of the most protected characters on the main roster, and there's a lot WWE can do with him.

In the above shot, a young Balor can be seen with a charming smile. The picture sees to be during his high school days.

#2 John Cena

Well well, take a moment and soak in this notorious pose from a young John Cena (Real Name: John Felix Anthony Cena Jr.). This guy needs no introduction as he is arguably one of the most popular WWE Superstars in the company's history who played a massive role in increasing the global reach of the promotion.

Being with the company for nearly two decades now, the Leader of Cenation is one of the most decorated Superstars of the company and is a record 16-time World Champion. A sure-shot future Hall of Famer, Cena has transitioned into a part-timer's role in recent years due to his age and is focusing on his Hollywood career. But he continues to show-up whenever the company needs him because he loves the business so much.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Last but not the least in the list, is the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar (Real Name: Brock Edward Lesnar). Debuting in 2002, Lesnar went on to become the youngest WWE Champion in the company's history at the age of only 25. After making a huge name for himself in the world of MMA, Lesnar returned to WWE in 2012 and there has been no stopping him ever since.

Being an eight-time World Champion in the company, Lesnar is also a former Royal Rumble winner, Mr. Money in the Bank 2019, and King of the Ring 2002. The list goes on and on of his accomplishments. Though he has been highly criticized by the fans for his part-time schedule, one can't argue the "big-match feeling" that he brings to the ring.

Check out the amazing transformation in the above picture with a young Brock Lesnar flaunting his muscles.
