Professional wrestling is a physically demanding sport, and only those with the right determination and fitness can think about making a career out of it. Apart from technical in-ring skills, another trait that makes a wrestler the perfect fit for the business is his strength. Over the years, we have seen countless wrestlers who made a career for themselves only by their unmatched strength and went on to achieve great things.

Similar wrestlers can be found in the current WWE roster as well, who have made a name for themselves with their powerhouse style of wrestling. With that said, let's take a look at ten of the strongest wrestlers on the current WWE roster.

UPDATE: 2022/10/29 07:30 EST BY Andrew Kelly

WWE is packed full of huge athletes, dominant individuals, and wrestlers with incredible physiques. The current roster has an array of brilliant talent, from powerhouses to technicians to high flyers, and amongst those there are some who stand out as the strongest performers in the company. From a pound-for-pound perspective, there are even some smaller individuals who should be considered amongst the strongest, for the simple fact that many can lift multiple times their own body weight. With some recent new signings too, there are more on the roster who are in and among the conversation of being considered as the most powerful not just in WWE, but in the wrestling business overall.

As WWE’s roster continues to grow, their list of powerhouses does also. Triple H has recently brought back a whole array of talent who were formerly let go, adding to the roster in a major way. Among them are those who could be considered as being within the very strongest wrestlers in the world. Across both the men’s and women’s divisions, there are a tonne of wrestlers who are physical specimens, with large frames, impressive physiques, and a resume of showcasing feats of strength to back it up.

16 Raquel Rodriguez

Whilst her current babyface character doesn’t always allow her to showcase her great strength and powerhouse abilities, Raquel Rodriguez is still clearly one of the strongest female superstars in WWE.

She is taller than the vast majority of other women in WWE, with her heel run in NXT doing well to showcase some of the feats of strength she can accomplish, with her lifting and throwing around her opponents with the utmost ease. She has main event potential for sure.

15 Bronson Reed

Bronson Reed has become one of Triple H’s latest signings, with him returning to the company after his release earlier on in the year. In his time away, he would even defeat Kazuchika Okada, proving himself elsewhere in the professional wrestling world.

Reed is the definition of a powerhouse, with a huge frame which has seen him run through plenty of opponents. Particularly during his time in NXT, he was able to showcase just how impressive he is from a strength perspective, with him using that on his way to becoming the North American Champion.

14 Charlotte Flair

Due to how long Charlotte Flair has been reigning on top of WWE’s women’s division, it is sometimes easy to forget just how physically impressive she is. She is among the tallest and strongest females on WWE’s roster, with that being a large reason as to why she has been pushed as a top star.

Flair’s presence in the ring comes down to her having the “it” factor, with strength playing a part in that, leading her to winning many World Titles in a record amount of time in WWE, doing well to live up to her family name. Not only has she performed some incredible athletic feats, but she is also one of most fit looking WWE superstars ever.

13 Baron Corbin

It can be easy to forget the impressive size of Baron Corbin, who is up there with some of the tallest on the roster. In NXT, he was the biggest powerhouse on the roster, though this distinction feels a little lost on the main roster. With a fighting background and a football background, he is someone with legit sporting credentials.

WWE fans may not be overly enthralled by a lot of his booking, but he can be seen on a weekly basis throwing around opponents, performing his moves on anyone of any size.

12 Sheamus

Sheamus

Sheamus has been a mainstay on WWE television for well over a decade at this point, and in that time he has showcased himself to be one of the more powerful and strong on the entire roster.

He has matched the strength of the likes of Drew McIntyre, Big E, Triple H, and John Cena over the years, with him also displaying his strength during a feud with The Big Show, with him notably picking the World’s Largest Athlete up with what seemed like ease in their matches in 2012. He can often be seen improving his strength on his personal fitness Youtube channel "Celtic Warrior Workouts" as well which often has guests from other WWE wrestlers.

11 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman recently returned to WWE with a big point to prove after being let go from the promotion over a year ago. He is someone who has an insane mixture of both size and speed, with him arguably being up there with the best big-man WWE workers ever.

With a huge frame, a strongman background, and a towering height of over 7 feet, Strowman is certainly one of, if not the strongest man in WWE. Though some of these spots have been gimmicked, WWE have pushed him as such by having him perform staggering feats such as flipping over an ambulance in an iconic WWE moment.

10 Bron Breakker

Current NXT Champion Bron Breakker, who is currently in his second reign with the title, is undeniably one of the strongest wrestlers on the current WWE roster. Being the son of the legendary WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner, Bron Breakker has done justice to his father's legacy by adopting the same style of wrestling in his career as well.

Breakker has dominated his opponents during his matches and can credit most of the success of his career to his incredible physique and unmatched power. He's having a dominant run in NXT so far, and can continue with the same momentum once he makes his way to the main roster as well.

9 Gunther

The current WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther has the unique combination of an exhilarating character, insane strength, and with his recent transformation, an excellent physique as well.

He introduced the WWE Universe to his dominating style of wrestling during his time in NXT UK, under his original name WALTER. He brutalizes his opponents with his high-offensive moves, especially the ruthless chops he delivers to his opponents, which nearly tears the skin off their chests. He's doing well for himself on the main roster so far, and we can expect great things from the Intercontinental Champion in the coming days.

8 Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley is built entirely different compared to the other wrestlers on the WWE Women's division. She didn't look the same when she made her WWE debut at the inaugural Mae Young Classic, but surprised the fans with an incredible transformation showing a more ripped physique.

She's clearly one of the strongest wrestlers on the WWE roster and is visibly bigger than most male wrestlers. It has rewarded her well so far, as she is a former NXT & NXT UK Women's Champion, WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, and Raw Women's Champion.

7 Bianca Belair

Before she made her pro wrestling debut with WWE, Bianca Belair was a CrossFit competitor and a powerlifter, which required her to always remain in the best shape possible.

Similar to Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair also depends on her power to come out on top in most of her matches. We have seen Belair dominate her opponents and lift them over their shoulders on a regular basis, and have also showed off her immense strength by lifting superstars like Otis and Doudrop and proved that she is the strongEST in WWE.

6 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns doesn't get enough credit for the immense strength he showcased during his matches over the years. The Tribal Chief made his way into the WWE main roster as the powerhouse of The Shield, and his previous experience playing defensive tackle during his football career made it easier for him to run through his opponents.

He packs tons of power behind every move he delivers and has showcased his unmatched strength on multiple occasions. He also used the break he got during the pandemic to get in the best shape of his career, and the Tribal Chief reaped the reward with his historic world title run.

5 Omos

Omos and AJ Styles in WWE

Omos is the recent addition to the list of giants in WWE history as the 7'3 feet monster has been dominating his competition ever since he made his main roster debut as AJ Styles' enforcer and tag team partner.

He had everything Vince McMahon likes in a wrestler and got immediately rewarded with a tag team championship run with Styles. He proved that he could hang with the big guns with his feud against for former mentor AJ Styles and Bobby Lashley. With MVP as his manager, we can expect Omos to make a name for himself as a singles star in the coming days.

4 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre looked no different from any regular WWE superstar during his first run with WWE, which ended with him getting released after having to work as part of the comedic 3MB faction alongside Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater. However, he reinvented himself in the indies and during his time in Impact Wrestling and got into the best shape of his life, which opened WWE's doors for him again.

This time, he changed his approach to a more powerful style of wrestling, which saw him running through his competition, which led to him winning two WWE Championships.

3 Big E

Former WWE Champion Big E is known for the immense strength he showcased throughout his in-ring career. He had a successful powerlifting career before he made the jump to professional wrestling, and his records include a 711 lbs squat, 529 lbs bench press, and 799 lbs deadlift.

The fans have witnessed Big E's various acts of strength over the years, and it only led him to success as he went on to become a 2-time Intercontinental, 8-time Tag Team, 1-time NXT, and 1-time WWE Champion in his career so far.

2 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley as WWE Champion

Those who are following Bobby Lashley's career over the years will have no doubts whatsoever that he is one of the strongest wrestlers in the entire industry. His incredible physique is his best trait, and he always made sure he stayed in prime shape at all costs. He looked even better than before when he made his return to WWE in 2018.

There are only few wrestlers in the history of the business who can replicate Bobby Lashley's feats of strength, and that too is a very thin list. He never changed his approach when it came to his in-ring style, but went on to add more power to it in his current WWE run, which led to him becoming a 2-time WWE Champion.

1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar WWE

The mere presence of The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar is enough to make even the mightiest of wrestlers feel insecure about their abilities and appearance. Such is the power Lesnar brings forward whenever he steps inside a ring, and despite the years rolling by, the former WWE Champion is not showing any signs of slowing down.

The Beast Incarnate's acts of strength are no secret to the WWE Universe, as they are used to witnessing Lesnar decimate his competition with his incomparable power over the years, be it pro-wrestling or MMA. Lesnar is 45 years-old as of this writing, and is performing at par with many younger wrestlers of today.
