#12 The Big Show
The Big Show slowed down his WWE career in 2017 and underwent multiple surgeries to deal with a long-term hip injury. Nowadays, he still wrestles sporadically – notably on the post-WrestleMania 36 episode of RAW against Drew McIntyre – but he has concentrated on acting over the last year.
#11 Stephanie McMahon
Stephanie McMahon is the one person in this list whose WWE role has not changed drastically over the last seven years. Vince McMahon’s daughter is still the company’s Chief Brand Officer, while she occasionally performs as an on-screen authority figure.
#10 CM Punk
It is interesting to look back at CM Punk’s mannerisms during the Championship Ascension Ceremony segment, especially when he laughed at Stephanie McMahon’s comment about Triple H being the “pinnacle” of all the former WWE World Champions in the ring.
Punk, who left WWE seven weeks after the segment, has since fought in UFC, acted in movies, and even worked on FS1 show WWE Backstage.
#9 Triple H (WWE Hall of Famer)
Triple H’s NXT was just beginning to gain some buzz in December 2013, but the brand had not even held a TakeOver event at the time of the Championship Ascension Ceremony. The Game’s focus is well and truly on NXT these days and he has not wrestled since June 2019.
