Top 10 Strongest WWE Wrestlers (Strength)
Top 10 Strongest WWE Wrestlers: World Wrestle Mania popularly known as WWE is an American entertainment company commonly started with airing Professional Wrestling with averaging over 4.9 million views on a single night. With such a massive fanbase built over in 41 years, there is a lot of competition among fans on who is the best and strongest wrestler in the federation.
Here are the top 10 strongest WWE wrestlers ranked by winnings and titles.
RIC FLAIR
Richard Morgan Flair known by his wrestling name “Ric Flair” has a whopping total of 16 titles to his name. A career span of 40 years, Ric Flair made his debut in 1972 when WWE was known as WWF, World Wrestling Federation. Ric flair is considered the greatest wrestler in the federation bar none among colleagues and journalists. Currently, Ric flair is retired and working with WWE as a professional wrestling manager. The now-retired professional wrestler has eight-time NWA world heavyweight champion, six-time WCW heavyweight champion, two-time WWE champion. During those official reigns as champion, Flair held a world championship for 3456 days, most by any champion in the history of WWE.
Flair was often popular with the crowd due to his in-ring antics, including rulebreaking, which made him earn the title of the “baddest boy in the federation”. Flair’s move set became limited in the last ten years of his career due mainly to his age and years of competition taking a toll on his body but remained a visible character. The “Woooooo!” yell has since become a tribute to Flair and is often shouted by the crowd whenever a wrestler performs a knife-edge chop, one of Flair’s signature moves. Flair also released his autobiography, To Be the Man, in July 2004. The title is taken from one of his catchphrases, “To be the man, you gotta beat the man!”
JOHN CENA
John Cena, the largest and most successful domestic talent since The Rock, dominated the first seven years of the decade, defeating top-tier Superstars and winning championship gold. Since 2010, he has won nine global titles, more than any other Superstar. In January 2017, he accomplished the unfathomable by tying Ric Flair’s historical record of 16 overall world titles.
Cena made his debut in 1999 when WWE was brewing with talent. A young man entered the vast world of wrestling and stamped his authority by defeating the likes of Randy Orton, Tripple H, The Rock, and even The Undertaker who was a feared name in the wrestling world of WWE.
