#10: Former WWE Superstar Tyler Reks

  • Born: 1 November 1978 (age 42 years)
  • Slammy Award Winner - Most Menacing Haircut (2010)

Tyler Reks was a former FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion. He joined WWE SmackDown after ECW's closure back in 2010.

Some of his notable main roster moments included being a key member of Team SmackDown at WWE Bragging Rights 2010. After a short stint with Curt Hawkins as a tag team, Reks left WWE in 2012 to spend more time with his family. WWE.com notes that he started a few diverse businesses after leaving the company.

Tyler Rek's last pro wrestling match occurred back in 2014. Reks was recently in the news for revealing how John Cena lost his cool backstage and yelled at him once. That story can be read here.


#9: Former WWE NXT star Slate Randall (popularly known as Eli Drake)

  • Born: 1 November 1982 (age 38 years)

Most fans associate Eli Drake with his career in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, but he was contracted as a developmental star with WWE in 2013. Slate Randall defeated Yoshi Tatsu in a dark match in NXT in 2013, but he would ultimately end up as an enhancement talent on WWE's Black and Gold brand.

Even before that, he had made his first WWE appearance in 2006, teaming up with Jon Moxley to take on The Big Show.

In 2014, NXT's Slate Randall was released from his WWE contract. Thankfully, he was able to have a fruitful career in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling under the popular moniker, Eli Drake.

Drake signed exclusively to the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) in 2019 and remains contracted with the promotion as of now.
