5 WWE Superstars in their 40s who should have another world title run

For any superstar, conquering a world title is their ultimate achievement not only in WWE but in all of professional wrestling.

Becoming a world champion certainly anoints stars amongst the very best of the industry. Having said this, several veterans of the industry, despite becoming world champions earlier in their careers, still long to conquer the ultimate prize one more time.

This is undoubtedly motivation for them before they call time on their careers. In this article, we look at five WWE Superstars in their 40s who should have another world title run:

#5 WWE Superstar - Randy Orton (41 years old)

Randy Orton is one of the most decorated superstars on the current WWE roster and of all time.

The former 14-time world champion has had some memorable feuds against greats like The Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, Batista and Edge. He is currently one half of the RAW Tag Team Champions with Riddle as RK-Bro.

With that being said, The Viper would surely want to add another world title to his itinerary before he calls time on his in-ring career. At 41, he is in great physical shape, and a challenge for the WWE Championship could be on the cards in the near future.

#4 WWE Superstar - AJ Styles (44 years old)

AJ Styles is arguably one of the most gifted performers currently in WWE.

The Phenomenal One predominantly competes in tag team competitions currently on Monday Night RAW with partner Omos. The two superstars recently had a fall-out when they lost to The Street Profits via count-out, and The Giant walked out on Styles afterwards.

This could serve as an opportunity for Styles to focus on the singles competition. He will undoubtedly want to challenge for another world title to add to his list of accolades.

#3 WWE Superstar - Rey Mysterio (46 years old)

At 46, Rey Mysterio is still a force to be reckoned with in a WWE ring.

The 'Master of 619' is currently competing in the tag team division on Monday Night RAW with his son Dominik. The two are soaring in the ongoing 'RK-Bro-Nament' tournament, where the winner will get a chance to challenge the RAW Tag Team Champions for the title.

Having said this, the former three-time world champion also recently teased a big announcement. If he plans to hang up his wrestling boots in the near future, another world title opportunity would be a befitting end to his legendary career.

#2 WWE Superstar - Bobby Lashley (45 years old)

Bobby Lashley only has one goal on his mind to become WWE Champion again.

After losing the title to Big E, The Almighty ended his feud with WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. He is now waiting for his title opportunity.

On the latest edition of RAW, the 45-year-old decimated Big E, Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins after the first two battled in a Steel Cage Match. Lashley made his intentions very clear that he is coming for the WWE Championship after the three men battle for the title at the upcoming Day 1 pay-per-view.

#1 WWE Hall of Famer - Edge (48 years old)

WWE Hall of Famer Edge has had one of the most miraculous comebacks of all time.

The Rated-R Superstar was a surprise entrant in the 2020 Royal Rumble after sustaining a neck injury that kept him out of the ring for nine years. He came back to the squared circle with the sole objective of becoming world champion again.

While he was unsuccessful in winning the 2020 Royal Rumble, he won it the following year. Edge challenged Universal Champion Roman Reigns for the title but could not ascend to championship glory. He then bravely emerged victorious in a trilogy against Seth Rollins, truly making him a force to be reckoned with.

At 48, the Hall of Famer will undoubtedly look for another chance to attain a world title, possibly the WWE Championship. The Rated-R Superstar is currently in a rivalry with The Miz, with both superstars set to lock horns at the upcoming Day 1 event.

After the event, Edge will certainly stake his claim for the championship to add the 12th world title to his already impressive list of accolades.
