The WWE landscape has been dominated by many stars from the Land Down Under.
The WWE roster has always had many talented in-ring athletes from diverse backgrounds. One of those pools of stars includes superstars from the Land Down Under, i.e., Australia.
Over the years, top female and male superstars from Australia have had an impressive showing in WWE, while many former names have also made a mark outside the promotion. Here are the top five greatest exports from Australia in history:
5. Buddy Murphy (Matthews)
Buddy Matthews honored his in-ring craft at a high level in the developmental brand, NXT. This led to his call-up to the main roster in 2020, where he worked alongside top names like Seth Rollins.
Matthews later moved to AEW, where he is still performing as a regular fixture and even married fellow Australian and WWE megastar, Rhea Ripley.
