4 celebrities who have appeared on SmackDown's road to episode 1000

There's a saying that fame attracts fame, and there is nowhere where this is truer than in the WWE. The WWE has a large international audience, and that is an attraction for all the international superstars that have appeared on its shows.

Over the years, everyone from boxers and actors, to even the current American President Donald Trump have appeared in the WWE. As we look forward to the 1000th episode of SmackDown, we take a look at some of the celebrities who have appeared on the blue brand.

Honorable mentions

In this section we take a look at the reverse scenario; superstars who have successfully transitioned from WWE stars to international icons, John Cena, Batista, and the Rock are the first that come to mind, but others like Becky Lynch, The Bella Twins, Chris Jericho, and The Miz also deserve recognition. The Miz especially deserves credit because he has appeared four times in The Marine franchise.

#4 Busta Rhymes

Lets bust a rhyme

Those who attended the July 1 2002 edition of SmackDown went home with their minds blown. Apart from seeing dream tag teams such as Edge and Hulk Hogan, Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho, John Cena and The Undertaker, they also got to see the 11-time Grammy nominated legend Busta Rhymes.

Busta's appearance on SmackDown was epic because he stood alongside The Rock, and was there to hype his presence in the movie Halloween Resurrection. The fans went wild on seeing Busta, and wouldn't mind seeing him one more time on the blue brand.

#3 Aaron and Nick Carter

Two of the biggest stars in the 2000's were the brothers Aaron and Nick Carter. The WWE invited them to judge a 2006 Diva dancing competition hosted by The Miz on SmackDown. The divas participating in the contest were not afraid to show off their dancing skills, and in the end, none of the men in the ring could decide who won.

In my opinion, Michelle McCool won because she captivated the crowd with her dancing skills. Who do you think won? Tell us in the comments.

#2 Freddie Prinze Jr

The Prinze of the WWE

Fans of the 1990's movie franchise - I know what you did last summer may remember Freddie Prinze Jr. The talented actor is a well known fan of the WWE, and he hosted an episode of RAW in August 2009. Before he appeared on RAW, he worked behind the scenes on SmackDown, and even blogged about the company.

Freddie also appeared on The Dirt Sheet, as well as WrestleMania XXIV. Of all the celebrities on this list, Freddie might have had the most significant impact in the WWE because he served as a writer from 2008 to 2009, as he worked on several excellent storylines, particularly involving the Miz.

#1 Arnold Schwarzenegger

World Box Office Champion

The Terminator is probably the biggest star to ever appear on SmackDown, and because of that, he gets the top spot on this list. Arnold has a long history with the WWE, as in 2013 he inducted one of his closest friends - Bruno Sammartino into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Before this, Schwarzenegger had appeared on an episode of SmackDown in November 1999 where he hugged Vince McMahon. Arnold's presence was prominent throughout the show as DX mentioned him, and he had a segment with The Rock.

Arnold had been named the World Box Office Champion, and because of this Vince awarded him a personalised heavyweight championship. At the end of the night, Schwarzenegger and Stone Cold stood tall drinking beers after Arnold had terminated Triple H.
