CM Punk immediately comes to mind when it comes to this. Even Edge and Randy Orton seemed to go through these stages.
It's also a reason why I think Christian would have become world champion eventually if he hadn't skipped out to TNA, tbh.
It's looking like he still might now, but that's another story.
