Best WWE Wrestlers From The Original Performance Center Class

WWE has brought a plethora of incredible wrestlers through its Performance Center over the years, many of whom have gone on to dominate on the main roster, while some have become bigger names outside the company. Whenever a new class of talents appears, they often get photographed together in WWE gear and fans begin buzzing about who could break out first.

However, rather than bringing in lots of small clusters, the original WWE Performance Class was one huge collection of talents. While plenty of them didn’t achieve much in the business overall, many have gone on to have huge success, capturing titles regularly.

10 Baron Corbin Has Consistently Entertained Fans

He’s Won Two Titles With WWE

Baron Corbin might be someone who fans boo consistently, but people love to hate him. He’s an amazing modern-day heel who doesn’t care about getting the love and adoration from the fans, as he just wants to tell stories and put on good matches.

The former football player has certainly achieved that since joining the company, which is why WWE consistently books him in various major storylines, even if he’s not at the top of the card himself.

9 Braun Strowman’s Growth Has Been Incredible

The Monster Amongst Monsters has truly stepped up and become a main event player, being someone who can blend feats of strength with genuine athletic ability.

He moves around the ring with speed, and for someone of his size that is very unique. Strowman is also very charismatic, with his over-the-top personality matching his larger-than-life size.

8 PAC Is One Of The Most Gifted Wrestlers Around

He might not have been pushed as far as his talents deserved in WWE, but his work in the cruiserweight division proved what he could offer. That is something that AEW is now tapping into, with the Englishman getting taken more seriously by Tony Khan.

7 Dax Harwood Has Become A Major Player In Tag Team Wrestling

He’s Won Six Titles In WWE

Dax Harwood originally joined the WWE Performance Center as a singles wrestler, but he has spent his career working in the tag team division. While it didn’t truly click until he worked with his current partner, Cash Wheeler, the two of them have gone on to become one of the best teams in modern wrestling.

Harwood isn’t about the frills and thrills, hoping to keep things simple and old school. However, his psychology is second to none, and that is why he’s had a career littered with titles no matter what company he’s been representing.

6 Xavier Woods Has Been A Key Player For The Company

5 Sami Zayn Is A Beloved Figure In WWE

Sami Zayn had tons of experience when he joined WWE due to his work as El Generico, but taking off the mask was a big moment for him. Zayn wears his heart on his sleeve with the emotions pouring out of him, which is one of the reasons that the WWE Universe has connected to him so much.

Zayn’s a fantastic professional wrestler, and the fact he sells so well allows his underdog personality to work perfectly. He’s been a huge success story for the company, building his way up the ladder to become one of the most valuable stars in the company today.

That was necessary for her to become the performer she is today, where she constantly exudes personality and tells amazing stories both in promos and inside the ring.

Bayley is a natural babyface but has also proven her ability to be a bitter heel. The fact she mastered both is a credit to her talent, and the titles she’s won along the way proves WWE knows what a great performer she is.

3 Mercedes Mone Has Real Star Power

She’s Won 10 Titles In WWE

Mercedes Mone has always had true talent, and her Legit Boss character instantly put her on the map in WWE. From her early days in NXT to now in AEW she has shone like a star, capturing the attention of fans while delivering inside the ring.

Not only has she had an incredible wrestling career, but Mone has been able to break out into the world of acting as well, showcasing her true star power and appeal to a wider audience.

She has been a game changer for women’s wrestling, consistently raising the bar and taking the division to new heights with her performances and the epic rivalries she’s put together.

Flair has been part of so many women’s first-ever matches from headlining WrestleMania to stepping inside Hell In A Cell. She’s one of the most decorated performers in company history already, and she’s shown no signs of slowing down. Considering she didn’t have independent experience like many others, she’s a great example of what the PC can teach a person.
