We've all heard the saying of "age is just a number", but it's easier said than done. There are these WWE Superstars which we'll be talking about in this article, who have proved this. A physical sport like pro-wrestling takes a massive toll on the human body, and while it doesn't matter much when a WWE Superstar is young, being in the 40s and still performing regularly is amazing.
Let' take a look at the ten oldest WWE Superstars on the current roster. Be sure to comment down and let us know which is the most shocking entry on the list according to you?
NOTE: We have only included full-time WWE Superstars on this list. Hence, names like Edge, John Cena, Goldberg, Triple H, The Undertaker, and other part-timers will not be included.
#10 Brock Lesnar
Starting the list at #10 is the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar. Considered to be one of the most dominating Superstars in WWE history, Brock Lesnar was born on 12 July 1977 and recently turned 43. With the superb shape Lesnar is in, he surely doesn't look to be that old. What many might also not know is that Brock Lesnar is a step-grandfather!
Brock Lesnar made his WWE debut in 2002 on RAW and won the WWE Championship merely 5 months after his debut to become the youngest WWE Champion in history at the time at the age of 25. Throughout his massively successful WWE career, he has had eight world title reigns, has won the Royal Rumble (2003), King of the Ring (2002), and Money in the Bank (2019). His last WWE appearance was at WrestleMania 36 where he dropped his WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre.
#9 AJ Styles
Yes, the Phenomenal One, AJ Styles is older than Brock Lesnar. Born on 2 June 1977, the two-time WWE Champion is 43 years and (almost) 2 months old as of the writing of this article. He married his wife Wendy Jones in 2000 and the couple have three sons and one daughter together.
After a highly successful career in ROH, TNA/Impact Wrestling, NJPW, and independent circuit, AJ Styles made his WWE debut at the 2016 Royal Rumble as a surprise entrant. While there were several speculations on him not getting the "main event" push in WWE, he has been a top star for WWE, having won several Championships and top feuds during his four years stint with the company, and even defeating WWE's poster boy, John Cena!
#8 Bobby Roode
At #8 on the list is former WWE United States Champion and NXT Champion, Bobby Roode. The Glorious One was born on May 11, 1997, thus being 43 and almost a quarter year old as of now. He has been married to Tracey Roode since 1995 and the couple has three sons together - Robert III, Riley, and Nicholas.
Bobby Roode, now known as Robert Roode in WWE, played a huge part in the success of TNA/Impact Wrestling. He signed with WWE in 2016 and joined NXT, where he became the NXT Champion in 2017 by defeating Shinsuke Nakamura, becoming the oldest NXT Champion in WWE history. He made his main roster debut on SmackDown in 2017 and while he has had some Championship reigns under his belt, many fans believe WWE hasn't used him to his full potential yet.
#7 Titus O'Neil
Next on the list is Titus O'Neil. Famous for his Titus Worldwide (and Worldslide) Brand, he is merely a few days older than Bobby Roode, having been born on 29th April 1977. He has two sons, Thaddeus Jr. and Titus.
Even after an impressive physique, Titus O'Neil has never been a main-event Superstar in WWE, mostly used in comedy segments throughout his career. He has won the Tag Team Championship once with Darren Young, and last year became the inaugural WWE 24/7 Champion, although he is yet to win that title again!
#6 Bobby Fish
At #6 on the list is NXT Superstar and a member of the Undisputed Era, Bobby Fish. Born on 27 October 1976, Bobby Fish is 43 years and nine months old as of now. Before joining WWE, he was famous for his time in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling, where he has held multiple Championships.
After making his WWE debut in June 2017, Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly helped Adam Cole in attacking the then NXT Champion Drew McIntyre at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III, thus forming "The Undisputed Era". During his three years with WWE's Black & Gold brand, Bobby Fish has been a two-time NXT Tag Team Champion.
#5 Bobby Lashley
From one Bobby to another, we have the Almighty One, Bobby Lashley next. Born on 16 July 1976, Lashley recently turned 44 and received a sweet little birthday message from the WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon. Bobby Lashley has three children, two of whom are with former WWE Diva, Kristal Marshall.
After making his initial WWE debut in 2005, Bobby Lashley left the company in 2008 and tried his hands at several other things. He wrestled for AAA, TNA/Impact Wrestling, had MMA fights for various promotions, before making his way back to WWE in 2018 on the RAW after WrestleMania 34. He has won the ECW World Championship twice and is a former WWE Intercontinental and United States Champion.
#4 Shelton Benjamin
Next on the list is Bobby Lashley's teammate in the recently formed faction "The Hurt Business" and the current WWE 24/7 Champion, Shelton Benjamin. Born on 9 July 1975, Shelton is a little over 45 years as of now. Having been Brock Lesnar's roommate and godfather to The Beast Incarnate's daughter, Benjamin has two daughters of his own.
Initially making his WWE debut in 2002, Shelton Benjamin left the company in 2010 and worked in promotions like ROH and NJPW before making his WWE return in 2016. While he hasn't been involved in any massive storyline, he recently won the 24/7 Championship from R-Truth and him joining Lashley and MVP looks promising.
#3 Rey Mysterio
One look at Rey Mysterio's in-ring abilities and his flawless execution of high-flying moves, and you would be shocked to know that the man is well over 45 years of age. Born on 11 December 1974, Rey Mysterio can still easily outshine any young WWE Superstar in speed and agility.
The Master of the 619 has been wrestling for over three decades now. Rey Mysterio made his WCW debut in 1996 and later signed with WWE in 2002. Throughout his career with WWE, he has been a three-time World Champion, Royal Rumble winner (2006), and has won several other Championships and accolades. Since 2019, his son Dominik Mysterio has started being involved in his feuds and is expected to make his in-ring debut with WWE soon!
#2 MVP
At #2 on the list is the man who made his WWE debut earlier this year at the 2020 Royal Rumble PPV. Born on 28 October 1973, MVP is 46 now and will be turning 47 in three months. Starting his WWE career in 2005, he had a decently successful run with the company before being released in 2010. During this run, he won the WWE United States Championship and the tag team title.
MVP went on to wrestle in NJPW, TNA, MLW, and ROH, before coming back to WWE earlier this year. He was hired as a backstage producer by WWE in February 2020 but continued to perform as an on-screen character as well. Recently, he has formed an alliance with Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin and has also debuted a new US title, claiming that he is the "real" United States Champion.
#1 R-Truth
At the top of the list, the oldest full-time WWE Superstar on the current roster is the greatest WWE 24/7 (48/7, 7/11, I-95, South, European, Television) Champion, R-Truth. Born on 19 January 1972, R-Truth is 48 years and six months old as of now. But even at this age, the entertainment and hilarity that he brings to the WWE Programming is unmatched! Married to Pamela Killings since 2011, the couple have a daughter together.
Initially being a part of WWF from 1999 to 2002, R-Truth worked for TNA from 2002 to 2007 before returning to WWE in 2008. He has been a two-time United States Champion, one-time WWE Tag Team Champion, and a record 37-time WWE 24/7 Champion. Famous for his comedy stints, R-Truth has played a massive role in keeping the fans interested in the 24/7 Championship, which otherwise has not been well-received.
