#5 Enter Rey Mysterio
It is only fair to start off the list with Rey’s debut in the company. After WCW folded, Rey took up some independent bookings before he was finally snatched up by Vince McMahon. Rey wrestled without his mask back in WCW but Vince insisted on Rey to wear the mask again for his WWE run.
Before Rey’s debut, the company started airing vignettes that further hyped his arrival. Rey made his debut in the July 25, 2002 edition of SmackDown and defeated Chavo Guerrero Rey was treated as a babyface from the moment he came out through those pyro and he managed to keep that image on himself for almost the entirety of his WWE run.
