The Rock and 4 WWE Superstars who wanted to work for the CIA or FBI

#4. WWE Superstar Happy Corbin

Happy Corbin joined WWE in 2012 and has been one of the best heels in the company ever since. However, before deciding to pursue a career in professional wrestling, the former United States Champion wanted to work in a different field.

In an interview with Metro.co.uk, Corbin disclosed that he was interested in serial killers and understanding human nature growing up. Hence, he dreamed of working in the FBI.

"When I was a kid, I really wanted to go to the FBI and become a profiler. I think the outside the box people fascinate me when they’re just super weird and creative – in a good way, sometimes," he said.

Corbin now holds two degrees in psychology and sociology. Ultimately, he did not pursue a career in the FBI. Instead, he played professional football for a few years before entering the professional wrestling industry.

The 37-year-old is currently active on SmackDown. However, he last competed on the Blue Brand last month when he participated in the Black Friday Invitational Battle Royal to determine a new challenger for Roman Reigns' WWE Universal Title. The former United States Champion failed to seize the opportunity as Sami Zayn won the Battle Royal.
