* AbortedArc[=/=]WhatCouldHaveBeen : During the "Who's Vince's kid?" angle, it was Kennedy who was originally slated for the spot. Then he failed a drug test, and they gave the angle to Hornswoggle.

* SmallNameBigEgo: He insisted on doing his own ring introduction because Tony Chimmel couldn't messure up to his standards.
* UnderwearOfPower

!!! Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) 2010-

* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: It looked like this would happen to Riley, as he was more successful than Kaval, who left the company by the end of 2010. First he was Miz's protégé before he turned face, and the two feuded for a short while with Riley getting the win over him at the 2011 Capitol Punishment PPV. Then he promptly [[DemotedToExtra disappeared]] and currently is a commentator on Superstars and NXT.

* GeniusBruiser[=/=]IvyLeague: He was the first Harvard Graduate in WWE history. While in ''WWE Tough Enough,'' he was known as "Chris Harvard."

* TheDogBitesBack: After The Miz had failed yet again to retake the title from JohnCena on ''Over The Limit,'' he called Riley a [[TheLoad useless bungler]] [[TheMillstone who has been actively responsible for]] [[NeverMyFault his every failure over the past few months.]] After a few humiliating slaps, he then fires Riley, to which Riley responds by ''beating the everloving hell out of the Miz,'' destroying his suit, and leaving the ring to thunderous cheering.

!!! Rey Mysterio (Oscar Gutierrez) 2002-

!!! Drew [=McIntyre=] (Drew Galloway) 2009-2014

[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/drew-mcintyre-bio_7374.png]]
* AHeroToHisHometown: He's over in Scotland, at the very least. He was even allowed to wrestle a match as a {{Face}} over there, despite being {{Heel}} his entire WWE career.
* CanonDiscontinuity: According to WWE, that time in 2007 when Drew was Dave Taylor's apprentice never happened.
* CombatPragmatist: Drew cheats at least once every match.
* DemotedToExtra
* FatalFlaw: Overconfidence, leading to an occasional lack of focus. This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by a commentator at least once per match.
* FinishingMove: Futureshock (Double Arm DDT)
* GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity: Went through a storyline where he was one loss away from being fired...[[RunningGag about four or five weeks in a row]]. Then, he actually DID get fired...only to be re-hired the following week.
* GuyLiner: While in the 3MB
* HumiliationConga: The above storyline saw Drew losing about five or six matches in a row to increasingly pathetic opponents. When he finally got his job back, it was from pinning the three-foot-tall [[JokeCharacter Hornswoggle.]]
* ManInAKilt: On the indies. Sadly, he gave up the kilt for WWE so that he could be another guy in trunks.
* NiceHat: As a part of 3MB
* RedBaron: "The [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal Sinister]] [[ViolentGlaswegian Scotsman]]."
** [[JeffJarrett The Chosen One]]
* SlipknotPonytail: Happens a lot.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Both as The Chosen One and in 3MB.
* SmugSnake: Can often be seen wearing a cocky smirk on his face.

!!! Justin Gabriel (Paul Lloyd Jr.) 2010-

* {{Bollywood}}: He's from India.

* ButtMonkey: Well he was on the losing end of a feud with Hornswoggle, a fact that always makes you one of these, and he was disliked by general manager Vickie Guerrero on top of it.

* KarmaHoudini: Pretty much. Losing his girlfriend because of his mistreatment of her seems pretty fair at first, for example, but then gets to beat her in a match, technically broke the rules to do so, and there was no payoff for it. Aside from Nidia though, the {{face}}s Jamie feuded with were largely not the type who could give him a beating that would please fans without being completely out of character. This might be the reason for his aforementioned butt monkey status later, to make up for lost time (though it is more likely that Vince had decided to phase out the cruiserweight division, leaving a lot less for guys like Jamie Noble to do)
* {{Lust}}: A flaw of his, he used the money he got from winning a lottery to try and bribe Torrey Wilson into sleeping with him. This was despite him having a girlfriend at the time. His inability to ignore Miss Jackie ultimately results in him losing a match he probably should have won to Rico. His infatuation with Layla did end up working out, eventually, for a little while, but then William Regal stole her away.
* RagsToRiches: Inherited a lot of money.
