5 Major stars who played sidekicks to mid-carders that fans forgot about

#4 Becky Lynch The Rosebud

The Rosebuds included a number of eventual stars, including 'The Man'

Becky Lynch will always have a place in history as the first woman to win a WrestleMania main event.

In addition to that, she’s one of the very few women in WWE history, who could make any sort of credible claim of having been the top star in the company for a sustained stretch (realistically, Ronda Rousey is probably the only other talent who could make a case).

Long before she was The Man, or even a top tier performer in the women’s ranks, WWE used Lynch as a Rosebud—one of the outlandish characters, who came to the ring with Adam Rose.

In contrast to Lynch, Rose would never work a non-battle royal match at a WrestleMania. His WWE tenure on the whole, fizzled pretty quickly from featured young star, to background player, to leaving altogether.

A number of eventual stars like Braun Strowman and even AEW’s Sammy Guevara had stints as Rosebuds, but Lynch may stand out most of all, as a groundbreaking star where fans got a glimpse of her as a mere sidekick.
