The WWE website has posted a rather boring article about WrestleMania XXX main-eventers from when they were in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
For those of you who aren't aware, OVW was once the training facility used by the WWE to prepare new Superstars for their WWE careers. It was later replaced with Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) and then NXT. It was very briefly used by TNA recently, but they recently ended their partnership as a cost-cutting measure.
All of the men below would become WWE Champions, Royal Rumble winners and WrestleMania main eventers. All of them are scheduled for big roles at WM XXXX.
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Batista</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">
"Leviathan" was considered quite old when he signed with WWE. Batista signed a short-term contract several months ago, locking in a return for WM XXX.
</div>
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Brock Lesnar</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">
The most famous 'Paul Heyman Guy' was recruited to the WWE by Heyman, and then brought onto the main roster at Heyman's recommendation. While in OVW, Lesnar used the Shooting Star Press as his main finisher. Lesnar left the WWE after only 2 years, and Paul Heyman went on to be his manager in real life.
</div>
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>John Cena</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">
"The Prototype" had a bad start to his WWE run when he became the face of the "Ruthless Aggression" era. He was a babyface trying to carry a heel gimmick.
</div>
<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Randy Orton</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">
Orton debuted on the main roster at the exact same time as John Cena. A shoulder injury soon after his debut has left his shoulder restricted ever since.
