Throughout WWE history, the WWE Universe has seen its fair share of wild characters, personalities and on-screen performers.
Most of the time those personalities are professional wrestlers who compete in the squared circle, much to the addulation of the audience inside the arena and the viewing audience at home.
However, it's not always just the professional wrestlers and WWE Superstars that are beloved by the paying audience. Some of the biggest, brightest and most beloved personalities in WWE history have actually been non-wrestlers.
Commentators, interviewers, ring announcers and managers all bring their own distinct personalities and charisma to WWE television. Therefore some of the best on-screen characters are the ones not competing inside of a WWE ring.
With that in mind, let's take a closer look at five of the most beloved WWE personalities who weren't wrestlers.
