154. Savio Vega
The first WWE run of Juan Rivera was not an impressive one as he was cast as masked ninja named Kwang. When that persona thankfully ended, he was given the name of Savio Vega and embraced his Puerto Rican roots. The fit was perfect and for years, Savio Vega was a solid mid card performer for the WWE. After Vega left the WWE, and rehabbed his injuries he would again become a star in the Caribbean where he started his career. Vega is still performing, but he has reached the end of his runs in the American spotlight. Should Vega use his skills outside the ring (which he is more than capable of) on a higher profile, he could sneak into WWE Hall contention.
