The WWE roster features a wide range of superstars. Some competitors are in their 20s while others are almost 50 years old. Stars like R-Truth and MVP have already passed their peak when it comes to their days as in-ring wrestlers. But the company has found a way for these popular competitors to remain active contributors.
On the other hand, many young competitors have already made an impact. Some of these stars are on NXT, but others are already standing out on the main roster. Either way, age can be deceiving. Some wrestlers look ten years older than their actual age. The opposite argument is true for other stars. Here's a look at five Superstars who are older or younger than one would expect.
#6. Older: WWE star AJ Styles
AJ Styles has been wrestling for a few decades. He was a legend in IMPACT Wrestling before he signed with WWE. Styles debuted at the 2016 Royal Rumble, and he has become one of the most popular stars on the WWE roster.
The former world champion is also a father of four, and he has made it clear that he won't be signing another contract with WWE when his current deal expires. "The Phenomenal One" looks fairly young, but he's actually one of the oldest stars on the current roster. In just a few months, Styles will turn 44 years old.
#5. Younger: WWE star Pete Dunne
Pete Dunne burst onto the WWE scene three years ago. He was one of the British stars who stood out as part of the WWE United Kingdom Tournament. Throughout his time with the company, Dunne has already won the NXT United Kingdom Championship, a title he held for 685 days.
Dunne recently returned to NXT, and he has become an integral part of the brand. He's in the NXT Championship picture, and the future looks bright for "The Bruiserweight." It's hard to believe that Dunne is only 27, as his confidence makes him seem like he's much older.
#4. Older: WWE star John Morrison
John Morrison made his return to WWE at the beginning of 2020, and he has reunited with The Miz. The two men have been featured on both WWE RAW and SmackDown, and they've been involved in a few compelling feuds
Morrison was originally a member of WWE from 2002-2011 before he left the company. He went on to make a name for himself in IMPACT Wrestling and Lucha Underground.
Morrison has worked all over the world, and his return has helped The Miz remain one of the most prominent stars on the red brand. The former WWE Intercontinental Champion is in incredible shape, especially for someone who's 41 years old.
Morrison can still wrestle at a high level, and he continues to amaze the fans with his athleticism. Hopefully, Morrison will be given the chance to shine in the spotlight sooner rather than later. "The Shaman of Sexy" is one of the company's most talented athletes, and many fans hope to see Morrison receive a run as a main event player.
#3. Younger: WWE star Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley had one of the best years of her career in 2020, though she lost the NXT Women's Championship at her first WWE WrestleMania. "The Nightmare" stood out during her brief run on the main roster. She even held her own with Charlotte Flair. It seems like Ripley is destined for success when she eventually leaves NXT.
For a few months, rumors have suggested that Ripley will be called up to the main roster. Her move to WWE RAW or SmackDown seems imminent. Surely, "The Nightmare" will be an impact player wherever she winds up.
The fact that Ripley has already held the NXT UK Women's Championship and the NXT Women's Championship makes it seem like "The Nightmare" is older than she is.
But Ripley is still one of the youngest stars on the WWE roster. She's only 24 years old, though she is is set to become a big star on the main roster. "The Nightmare" will be the youngest female wrestler on WWE RAW and SmackDown when she is finally promoted.
#2. Older: WWE Star Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley returned to WWE for his second tenure with the company in 2018. "The Almighty" has made quite the impact in WWE, and he currently reigns as the United States Champion and the CEO of The Hurt Business.
It's hard to believe that Lashley spent a decade away from WWE since his departure in 2008. After his first run ended, he starred in TNA, or IMPACT Wrestling, and he was a 4-time world champion during his time there. Lashley has also been a successful MMA fighter, as he has won two championships in the sport.
Lashley is easily one of the most impressive stars on WWE's current roster. "The Almighty" is in in fantastic shape, and his physical appearance is even more impressive for a 44-year-old. "The Almighty" remains one of the top stars on WWE RAW.
Lashley is also a father of three, and he has a very active life outside of WWE. This lifestyle could be the main reason why he has been able to remain in such good shape.
#1. Younger: WWE star Dominik Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio first debuted in WWE as an eight-year-old back in 2005 when he was part of a deeply personal feud between his father, Rey Mysterio and the late Eddie Guerrero.
Dominik then decided to follow in his father's footsteps as a wrestler. 15 years later, he returned to WWE as an active performer. He has helped his father battle enemies like Seth Rollins and King Corbin.
Recently, the duo's feud with Rollins, a former world champion, allowed the Mysterios to include the rest of their family in the storyline.
Dominik is currently the youngest superstar on the company's main roster. He recently signed an official contract with WWE. The oldest child of WWE legend Rey Mysterio is just 23 years old. Some fans think he looks older than his age, but others believe that he looks like a teenager.
Dominik completely skipped NXT, but he has already been able to make an impact on both WWE RAW and SmackDown. He should have a lengthy career ahead of him, especially once he gains more experience in the ring.
