3 Jobs You Won't Believe These WWE Superstars Had Before Wrestling

Sports entertainment is far from being an "easy" business, and without question, about 90 percent of the wrestlers in the business have worked their butts off to achieve their successes -- of course, there are a few exceptions with family wrestling connections or ties, but for most talent, professional wrestling is about as hard a way to earn a living imaginable. Not only do wrestlers spend countless hours on the road with little time for rest, but the sport of pro-wrestling itself is also beyond gruelling on the human body.

However, thousands upon thousands of aspiring sports entertainers continue to do what they do in hopes of achieving their dreams (typically of becoming a WWE Superstar and a future World Champion), and it can be guaranteed that most wrestlers in the business have worked odd jobs to help finance their "dream" job.

Unless you're wealthy or come from a prestigious wrestling family such as the Ortons or the Anoa'is, hard work, determination, and the cliche "blood sweat and tears" are all required to even consider a professional wrestling career. WWE Superstars may be celebrities and "larger than life", but at one point in time, they too worked odd jobs like the rest of us. Today, we will look at 3 jobs you won't believe these WWE Superstars had before wrestling...

#3 AJ Styles: Trash Collector

AJ Styles may be one of the most decorated WWE Superstars of all time, but "The Phenomenal One" used to work a not-so phenomenal job before wrestling...

Before becoming "The Phenomenal One" in Impact Wrestling, NJPW, and most recently WWE, AJ Styles was working a not so thrilling job to make ends meet. For those unaware, AJ doesn't come from an extremely wealthy family background, and Styles was barely making ends meet during his late teenage and early adulthood years.

AJ Styles used to be a trash collector at a raceway, and as you may have expected, Styles was earning very little income from this "career" path.

However, despite his poor upbringing financial-wise, Styles never let his dream of becoming a professional wrestler go to rest, and without question, AJ has thoroughly succeeded in the business over the past two decades all over the world.

AJ Styles is undoubtedly one of the top wrestlers in the business today, and as such, Styles is earning a hefty annual salary in the 2.5 million dollar range -- an inane number compared to his first job's wage without a doubt.

#2 Becky Lynch: Flight Attendant

It's certainly hard to imagine "The Irish Lass Kicker" as a subdued flight attendant -- it's not in her nature...

Becky Lynch has catapulted herself to the top of the Women's Division in WWE this year, and "The Irish Lass Kicker" is succeeding with flying colors as SmackDown's incredibly popular Women's Champion -- many fans refer to Becky as being "Stone Cold" Becky Lynch due to her fiery personality and no-nonsense outlook on things.

However, before becoming one of World Wrestling Entertainment's top wrestling Superstars (male or female), Becky Lynch used to work a job many fans will likely be unable to imagine the badass redhead doing -- Becky Lynch once upon a time used to work as a flight attendant.

Now, it's clear most of us imagine flight attendants as being subdued, meek, and at the "beck and call" of their guests, and with Becky's current badass gimmick, the two certainly don't go hand in hand. Regardless, Becky wouldn't last for very long as a flight attendant (the same job her mother had), and Lynch would continue to pursue her passion of sports entertainment where she has since made a big name for herself in.

#1 Daniel Bryan: McDonald's Cashier

Some people make fun of those who work at McDonald's, but former WWE World Champion Daniel Bryan would definitely have another opinion on the matter...

When you look at a WWE Superstar such as Daniel Bryan who is totally against the idea of "fast food" and only likes to indulge in healthy meals (at one point Daniel was a full-fledged vegan), you probably wouldn't expect that said star to have worked at the infamous McDonald's restaurant chain in the past.

If you can believe, the former multi-time WWE World Champion used to work at McDonald's in his early adult years as a cashier and floor sweeper, and to make things even more interesting, Daniel has stated that he consumed quite a bit of McDonald's food to save money...

Daniel Bryan probably regrets the career path he took at a young age due to his firm beliefs nowadays in regards to food, but everything happens for a reason, and Bryan was only working this odd job to help finance his budding professional wrestling career -- a very worthy investment looking back now considering Daniel is one of the WWE's top ranking Superstars with a hefty salary in the millions per year...
