I meant more or less when they enter the business, not WWE. <_<
Most people start out as neutral jobbers!
But that's what I mean about how they debut. In kayfabe (which is where the mindset we're discussing exists), Del Rio didn't start out as a neutral jobber, he did random stuff and then showed up in the WWE one day presumably because he was bored of being rich and wanted to wink at people. Wade Barrett has nothing in between fighting dudes across Europe and appearing in the WWE, he's been the same heel only out for money from the moment he got into the business. Punk and Bryan are some of the few exceptions to have it acknowledged that they have some pre-WWE wrestling history, but even then, their personalities from those days aren't really explicitly spoken of, just occasionally acknowledged as an inside reference.
