5 times WWE changed wrestlers' ethnicity

The Japanese guy from Samoa 

#2 Yokozuna

Samoan not Japanese

Yokozuna was billed from the land of the rising sun and his name referred to the highest rank in the Japanese Sumo wrestling. All these, along with his dressing style and the manager in Mr. Fuji, Yokozuna was projected as a Japanese sumo star that made his way into WWE and dominated. Yokozuna had some memorable feuds during his stay in the WWE and went on to win the WWE championship as well.

The truth about all these is that: Yokozuna was never a Japanese star. In fact, he hailed from the great Anoai family of Samoa which means that he is the relative of stars like Roman Reigns, The Rock, Rikishi, Usos, Rosey and a string of other superstars.
