Apart from wrestling itself, WWE is very active in social causes and supporting minority rights. And celebrating Black History Month, the company decided to choose the highlighted Afro-descendant wrestlers.
Since its creation, WWE has had the participation of African-American stars who stood out thanks to their power and talent in the ring. Wrestlers like Bobo Brazil, a member of the Hall of Fame, and Bearcat Wright were references at the time.
Today, names like Sasha Banks or The Rock himself are icons of African American heritage. Get to know other wrestlers in the following gallery.
