During some intense WWE rivalries, brawls break out between superstars. It usually adds further anticipation for a match between the rivals. The confrontation can happen anywhere.

That being said, let's take a look at the former WWE talent who made cameos during brawls.
#5 Finlay appeared during Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella's WWE brawl
During the mid-2000s, Fit Finlay was SmackDown's Irish brawler. After years of performing around the world, he finally got his chance to perform for WWE. He will be remembered for being a one-time United States Champion and introducing the WWE Universe to Hornswoggle.
When Finlay decided to close the curtains on his career, he took up a role behind the scenes. He became a full-time backstage producer and a trainer, particularly for WWE's women's division. Many have called him the unsung hero of the Women's Revolution in the company for his work with the women's roster.
Aside from producing and coaching, Finlay also had to get his hands dirty when brawls erupted in the ring. During 2010s, Finlay was often seen with other backstage personnel, seperating stars an on-screen altercation.
He was notably seen during a fight between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella leading into SummerSlam 2014. Along with other backstage personnel, Finlay had to get in the middle of the two ladies before their huge showdown.
His latest appearance was at the Royal Rumble 2019, when he allowed Becky Lynch to enter the Women's Royal Rumble match following an injury to Lana. 'The Man' won the match, eventually becoming Becky 2 Belts at WrestleMania 35.
Although WWE let him go due to budget cuts, Finlay returned as a backstage producer in November 2020.
#4 IRS appeared during John Cena and Brock Lesnar's WWE brawl
WWE's resident tax man has worked backstage in WWE for several years. After having a successful in-ring career, he transitioned into a producer for the company.
IRS has been seen during a handful of WWE brawls, including the huge brawl between Brock Lesnar and John Cena in 2012. The fight occurred on Monday Night RAW and saw many wrestlers and backstage personnel rush to separate the two heavyweights.
Sadly, IRS was released from his contract during the Covid-19 and is yet to be re-hired.
#3 Shawn Daivari appeared during Charlotte and Rhea Ripley's WWE brawl
You may remember Daivari from his ill-fated run with the Muhammad Hassan character in 2005 and managing Kurt Angle. After this run with WWE, he continued to perform around the world. He returned to WWE in 2019 to become a backstage producer.
Daivari was one of the first people to make it to the ring during Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair's brawl on RAW. The altercation took place in June 2021 ahead of the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view.
#2 Billy Kidman appeared during AJ Styles & Dolph Ziggler's WWE brawl
Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Billy Kidman is one of the finest performers to grace the ring. Making a name for himself in World Championship Wrestling, Kidman got his big break in WWE after Vince McMahon acquired the former in 2001.
After his in-ring career ended, Kidman was hired as a producer in 2010 for WWE. He has appeared in numerous brawls on TV, including the Cena-Lesnar confrontation, and more recently, a dispute between Dolph Ziggler and AJ Styles in 2016.
Like Finlay, Billy Kidman was re-hired as a producer after getting released during the Covid-19 pandemic.
#1 Jamie Noble appeared during Cesaro and Seth Rollins' WWE brawl
