#4 Seth Rollins played a joke on Big Swole before her WWE debut

Nowadays, Big Swole is a featured wrestler in AEW’s women’s division. Back in 2016, however, she was still trying to make a name for herself as Aerial Monroe when she was booked to be squashed by Nia Jax on an episode of WWE RAW.

Once she got out there, Swole realized that he was only joking and she could see everyone in the crowd.
