WWE: Top 5 debut matches in WWE

For every superstar, it’s a dream come true when they debut in the WWE. After all, WWE is the biggest professional wrestling organization there is. No matter how much you sugar coat it, in the end, WWE is not just an ‘Entertainment’ company, but the largest and one of the oldest wrestling promotions in the world. For every kid who has ever watched the old WWF with his parents, like Adam Copeland, their dream is to step into the ring one day and show the world what they’re capable of. No matter where you perform, how much you travel, the end destination for every major name in the business is the WWE. This is why WWE is the ‘be all, end all’ in the industry.

They say you haven’t done it all in professional wrestling if you haven’t performed in the WWE, and there is a good reason for that. Making their debuts in the WWE is one of the most common wishes, which is even the top wish when the WWE stars go to the Make A Wish foundation! Thus, performing in an organization which was the reason for creating stars like Hulk Hogan, Sammartino, Undertaker, Austin etc. is nothing short of an honor and a privilege. In this article, I take a look at the top 5 debuts in the WWE in the past 2 decades, and this only includes the debut matches, not the segments.

John Cena

At number 5 is the current flag bearer of the WWE, the man who has been carrying the company on his shoulders since the past 8 years, and the current WWE champion, John Cena. When John Cena debuted, no one would have imagined that a decade from then, Cena would be the biggest name in the industry. John Cena made his debut against the Olympic gold medalist, Kurt Angle, when Kurt issued an open challenge for anyone to face him. Not only was it the first time the WWE fans got to witness John Cena, but he put up a good fight against the technical maestro, and nearly pulled off a major upset win, after which he got a nod of approval from the greatest superstar in the history of the business, The Undertaker himself!
