11 World Champions Who Survived Bad Gimmicks In Their Early Careers

1) Bray Wyatt

Who would have thought that “Husky Harris” would go on to become a World Champion in the WWE?  I know I certainly didn’t.

Bray Wyatt made his WWE debut in 2010 as a member of ‘The Nexus’ and under the name “Husky Harris”. After the gimmick was unsuccessful, he was sent back to WWE’s developmental system and Bray Wyatt was born.

Bray Wyatt has become one of the most entertaining characters on WWE TV for the past several years. Bray won his first World Title with the WWE in February of 2017 at the Elimination Chamber PPV.

If you asked fans back in 2010 if ‘Husky Harris’ would go on to win a World Title, you would be laughed at. It is now a reality.
