The WWE Performance Center is a tremendous breeding ground that has produced exceptional wrestlers such as Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair and Braun Strowman. However, WWE also sources talent from independent promotions, and one of the promotions from which WWE drew the most was Florida Championship Wrestling.

WWE signed many wrestlers from FCW, some were total disappointments, but others went on to become WWE megastars. It's worth clarifying that we won't take into account wrestlers who came through FCW, but whose primary great experience was in other promotions, for example Bryan Danielson and CM Punk, who both come from Ring Of Honor. With that said, let's take a look at the 10 most successful WWE wrestlers to come from Florida Championship Wrestling.

10 Bray Wyatt

Long before developing his alter ego, The Fiend, before leading The Wyatt Family, before becoming one of WWE's most popular superstars, Bray Wyatt was in Florida Championship Wrestling.

In fact, that was Wyatt's first professional experience there, and it is the only promotion, other than WWE, in which he has worked. Wyatt was FCW Tag Team Champion alongside his real-life brother, known at the time as Bo Rotundo. In WWE, Wyatt, or The Fiend, became one of the most popular Superstars, generating a lot of merchandise revenue.

9 Bella Twins

The Bella Twins, Brie and Nikki, are WWE Hall of Famers for a reason, they were pivotal in women’s wrestling for a few years. Certainly, they were not the best technical wrestlers, but they played their part in the Divas division. Nikki was slightly better than her twin, and maybe that’s why she was a two-time Divas Champion, having a 301-day title reign.

Brie also managed to hold the Divas Title, for 70 days in 2011. The Bella Twins were together in Florida Championship Wrestling as well, wrestling several matches between 2007 and 2008.
