#8 and #7 The Great Khali and Mustafa Ali: Police officer

Mustafa Ali

The Great Khali and Mustafa Ali are famous for their respective in-ring styles.

For The Great Khali, when he embarked his career in WWE, he soon became famous with his giant size, which eventually helped him win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Mustafa Ali though, started his career in WWE with its purple brand--205 Live-- and soon caught fans' eyes with his high-flying style.

Now, the fans know what these Superstars have done in the ring and what they are doing now, but, not many will know that both, The Great Khali and Mustafa Ali were police officers before they were signed by WWE.

That's right.

Prior to signing with WWE, The Great Khali worked as a police officer in Punjab, India to support his family financially. While Mustafa Ali, who also worked as a police officer in Homewood, Illinois during the night, while in the day he used to perform for different independent circuits to support his family financially.

#6 AJ Styles: Several jobs

AJ Styles might now be living a lavish lifestyle as he's signed by WWE, but, to reach here, Styles paid the debt.

Styles got his first job at the age of seven or eight, where he had to pick scarps from a raceway.

The second job Styles did was deliver water to the offices and home, instead of signing with WCW since both jobs offered the same amount of money. Not only Styles did these jobs to support his family, but also he mowed lawns and did several uncountable jobs.

That said, one can't say that Styles reached the top of the mountain too easily after learning what Styles had to do not only in the ring but also outside of it.

#5 John Cena: Bodybuilder and a limo driver

John Cena

The fans know this man needs no introduction but just to be on the same page, John Cena is arguably one of the greatest WWE Superstars the company has ever seen.

Now, every single fan knows what John Cena has done inside the squared circle, but, not many would know that John Cena first chose bodybuilding as his profession.

John Cena loved bodybuilders so much that he decided to become one.

But, guess what? The choice of Cena to become a bodybuilder is what led him to WWE and eventually made him one of the greatest. Otherwise, who knows what would have happened in WWE if the company didn't have Cena with them.

That said, apart from being a professional bodybuilder, Cena also worked as a Limo driver for a brief amount of time, but, he had to quit that job as he wasn't good at it as per his own admission.

#4 Sheamus: An IT technician and bouncer

"The Celtic Warrior" Sheamus is not only famous for his Mohawk hairstyle or in-ring work, but also for the jobs he did before embarking his wrestling career in WWE. Before signing with WWE, Sheamus worked not only as an IT Technician but also as a bouncer for several nightclubs in Ireland.

Soon after his retirement, Reigns started to install office furniture. And alongside The Big Dog, The Usos also started to install the office furniture for a company owned by their uncle.
