WWE has a loaded roster right now, with a mix of fresh talents and experienced veterans. The product may not be the best right now, but that is through no fault of the performers. The company has done a stellar job at building Superstars up if they so intend to. And over the past few years, many stars have been created.

A lot of them are still on WWE's roster as full-time performers, with most of them currently appearing on either RAW or SmackDown weekly, during these trying times. These Superstars have already carved out incredible legacies for themselves, to the extent that they are seemingly guaranteed a place in the WWE Hall of Fame.

The criteria for entering the Hall of Fame is intangible, but a fair number of current WWE stars have accomplished enough in the ring to warrant such an accolade. This takes into account their futures, with those whose contracts could see them move elsewhere, like Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio, not making this list.

Another few are also likely to enter the Hall of Fame, but it cannot be disputed that these ten WWE stars are Hall of Fame-bound. It may take a decade or two for them to be inducted, depending on how their careers pan out. But at the end of the day, all of them are destined to become Hall of Famers.

Here are ten current full-time Superstars that have earned a spot in the WWE Hall of Fame.


#10 Randy Orton

Keeping the most obvious name first, Randy Orton is a guaranteed WWE Hall of Fame headliner. His in-ring career speaks for itself, with countless titles to his name. The Viper has been a constant feature on WWE programming since 2002, remaining a full-time Superstar to this day.

Orton is a 13-time World Champion and was the youngest Superstar to win the World Heavyweight title back in 2004. While he was not in the best of places during his early days in WWE, Orton is a respected veteran today thanks to his smooth and seamless in-ring work.

The Legend Killer has used that sustainable style to maintain longevity in the ring, and we can safely call him a WWE legend today. Orton has done some excellent character work, particularly as a heel. His psychotic edge is very easy to get invested in, with him doing all sorts of evil things to the likes of Jeff Hardy, Edge, and even the entire McMahon family.

However, the small and subtle things he does, along with his unbelievable natural talent, make Randy Orton one of the greatest WWE Superstars in history. And he is once again at the top of his game, with the chance to become a 14-time WWE World Champion looming at SummerSlam.

#9 Natalya

Another third-generation WWE Superstar, Natalya has a legacy worthy of the WWE Hall of Fame. She played an immense part in improving the status of female wrestlers on the roster. She started off in 2008 and was one of the few standout performers of the Divas' division.

Natalya had some excellent matches in her first few years in WWE against Beth Phoenix and AJ Lee, while remaining as a solid veteran presence as divas became women. She is a dependable worker, responsible for getting other performers over right now.

Despite winning multiple titles, Natalya's biggest achievement as a WWE Superstar was being a part of the first-ever all women's match in Saudi Arabia at last year's Crown Jewel event, against Lacey Evans. That moment alone is Hall of Fame-worthy.


#8 Seth Rollins

You may not be the biggest fan of his character right now, but Seth Rollins has done an excellent job throughout his WWE career. He has won so many Championships across his career, both as a babyface and as a heel. Starting off as the 'architect' of The Shield, Rollins was nearly unstoppable right from the get-go.

His heel turn to end The Shield will go down as legendary due to the shock value it possessed, as will his Money in the Bank cash-in. Rollins was responsible for one of the greatest endings in WrestleMania history, leaving with the WWE Championship following a very physical main event between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.

The 'Monday Night Messiah' has enjoyed many stunning victories, including separate ones against Reigns and Lesnar. His performances in the ring have consistently been top-notch, particularly when he was the Intercontinental Champion in 2018.

Couple that with his villainous run as WWE Champion in 2015, and Seth Rollins has a title history worthy of the WWE Hall of Fame.

#7 The Miz

As one of WWE's most trusted performers and ambassadors, The Miz has blossomed into a fine all-round performer. He is excellent on the microphone, especially as a heel, and is capable of putting on some great wrestling matches. The A-Lister is certainly deserving of another world title run.

After an incredibly difficult start to life as a WWE Superstar, the former Reality TV star truly came into his own as the United States Champion on Monday Night RAW. The Miz even became the WWE Champion, even though his reign was not that successful.

The true upward swing of The Miz's trajectory as a WWE star came in 2016, as he rejuvenated the Intercontinental Championship with his wife, Maryse, coming on board as his manager. The pair made up one of the greatest acts of the brand split era.

The Miz became a certified star on SmackDown Live in 2016, cutting a passionate promo about the IC Title on Talking Smack. He is a model professional, WWE's company man. Not bad for a kid who was kicked out of the locker room when he started.


#6 R-Truth

The WWE Hall of Fame features a diverse group of WWE legends, with no regard for their placement on the card. It is not necessary to become a main eventer to earn a spot in the Hall of Fame, as we have seen over the years. Comedy plays a big part in wrestling, which is where R-Truth enters the conversation.

He has provided fans with countless laughs, particularly in the past couple of years as the anchor of the 24/7 Championship picture. Truth remains a timeless performer, who is in fantastic shape for a 48-year-old and can still do a solid job in the ring.

His comic timing is second to none and has charisma for days. Aside from the fans, R-Truth has also made his fellow performers laugh on air. Just ask Brock Lesnar about it.

The 37-time 24/7 Champion is one of the greatest entertainers in recent WWE history and belongs in the Hall of Fame. His speech will undoubtedly be hilarious.

#5 AJ Styles

For an outside wrestler to join WWE from NJPW and make such an impact was nothing short of phenomenal. AJ Styles was a huge star from the moment he walked onto the stage at the Royal Rumble in 2016. The entire arena knew who he was and cheered their minds off for him.

Within eight months, Styles had beaten John Cena multiple times and won the WWE Championship. He was consistent in the ring and carried himself like a megastar out of it. Styles was so good that he was given a match against the chairman's son, Shane McMahon, at WrestleMania 33.

The Phenomenal One also enjoyed a mammoth reign as WWE Champion, spending over one year with the title. AJ Styles has delivered on most of the dream matches he was a part of. He is also the current Intercontinental Champion, raising the prestige of the "workhorse title" once again.

It is very rare that a wrestler with AJ Styles' background would become such a huge star in WWE. If not for his unbelievable in-ring talent or his role in making SmackDown Live must-see TV, AJ should be in the WWE Hall of Fame because of his performance in the Boneyard Match against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36.

#4 Roman Reigns

As the one Superstar who has been consistently pushed for the better part of five years, Roman Reigns is a lock for the WWE Hall of Fame. Even if the reactions to him have been unfavorable, The Big Dog has, more often than not, stepped up to the plate and delivered in big matches.

Reigns has won multiple world titles but is yet to have that one long and defining title reign. Hopefully he will once he returns from his hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as good as Reigns has been in the ring, his influence among his fellow peers might be greater than that. The former Shield member has been known as WWE's locker room leader, doing a good job at keeping the roster together.

Then there's Roman Reigns fight with leukemia. Having conquered it once before, The Big Dog spent around four months away from WWE between 2018 and 2019 to battle the cancer again. And when he opened a February 2019 episode of RAW to announce that he was in remission, the whole world cheered.

Here he was, Joe Anoa'i, just a regular man who opened up to the world about his vulnerabilities. He is a real-life superhero and is an inspiration to fans all over the world. That means more than his talent as a wrestler, which is still among the best in the world. Roman Reigns might end up being one of the most likable WWE Superstars to headline the Hall of Fame.

#3 Charlotte Flair

As far as WWE's current women's division goes, pretty much every one of them might end up in the Hall of Fame. But as of right now, only a few are seemingly confirmed to be inducted upon retirement. That is why only two women are on this list, with one representing the not so distant past, in Natalya, and one being the biggest star today, in Charlotte Flair.

The Queen is undoubtedly the biggest full-time female star in WWE today, having won the most Women's Championships in the company's history. While Sasha Banks and Bayley are also certain future Hall of Famers, Charlotte has been consistently at the top of the mountain for a few years now.

She has a legacy in WWE matched by hardly a few women, winning nearly everything possible. Charlotte is also one of the smoothest in-ring workers on the roster and can put on a good match with anybody, notwithstanding some of the questionable booking surrounding her.

Charlotte Flair is definitely a future WWE Hall of Fame headliner thanks to a variety of things, including her family's legacy, the evolution of her character, her legendary moments in the ring, and the fact that she was part of the first women's main event in WrestleMania history.

#2 The New Day

The story of The New Day is one of determination and perseverance. Starting off as stereotypical babyface preachers, the trio turned heel and instantly clicked as the highlight of WWE TV. They won the WWE Tag Team Championship in April 2015 and proceeded to entertain the fans.

The New Day gradually became more over and turned babyface before WrestleMania 32, where they sold the most merchandise throughout the weekend. Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods were all fun to watch as an act, in the ring and on the microphone.

They have remained extremely over since that face turn, winning a bucketload of tag team titles. The New Day even became the longest-reigning Tag Champions in history, at 483 days. But every now and then, the group freshened it up. Whether it was a gig to host WrestleMania and introduce The Hardy Boyz, a brutally intense series of matches with The Usos or a singles run for one member, The New Day did their job effectively.

The biggest moment in The New Day's decorated history came at WrestleMania 35, where Kofi Kingston defeated Daniel Bryan to win the WWE Championship. It was a huge victory in various different contexts, both in storyline and real-life. And it would not have been possible without The New Day, the gold standard of tag teams in WWE.

The brotherhood between Big E, Woods, and Kingston is truly special. That bond makes them stronger together, as WWE legends. Vince McMahon himself said that The New Day are future Hall of Famers during the KofiMania storyline. That pretty much settles it.

#1 Daniel Bryan

When Daniel Bryan started in WWE over ten years ago, it was seemingly impossible that he would get anywhere near the main event. He was even fired after his main roster debut as part of the first-ever Nexus invasion. However, there has been no Superstar in the 2010s that was as consistent, captivating, or likable as Bryan has been.

He has taken every angle given to him and knocked it out of the park. From standing up to his NXT Pro, The Miz, and winning the United States Championship to becoming a chicken heel and losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Sheamus in 18 seconds at WrestleMania, Bryan was always stellar.

The multi-time Champion nailed his comedy segments as much as he did as a top star, with his tag team alongside Kane propelling him towards main event status. Bryan became the biggest babyface in WWE courtesy of the 'Yes Movement'. The fans were so vocal for him that WWE had to book him in the main event of WrestleMania 30, where he faced Triple H and later, Randy Orton and Batista in a triple threat for the WWE Championship.

Bryan created one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history, lighting the Superdome on fire. He did so again during his in-ring return, following a temporary retirement. Bryan was still of use, doing a great job as SmackDown Live's general manager and the host of Talking Smack.

Even if he hadn't been cleared by WWE doctors, Bryan would still be a WWE Hall of Fame-elect. But his latest run has only proven how good the 'Leader of the Yes Movement' truly is. The fact that he took a huge risk to turn heel shows how committed he is to the quality of his work.

Bryan enjoyed an excellent run as the villainous WWE Champion, a run that affirmed his status as a future Hall of Famer. Along with his undoubted in-ring excellence, Daniel Bryan always remained a compelling character throughout his decade in WWE, as a babyface, and as a heel.

He is a generational performer whose assets are a massive boon to WWE. And as long as he remains a part of the company, this former Indie darling will become a Hall of Famer as soon as he retires for good.
