WWE Superstars are globally recognizable athletes, which means that they become known all over the world from the moment that they make their WWE debut.

While this pushes many male and female stars to use makeup to allow them to look much better and younger on screen, others only seem to wear the amount that is needed to perform under bright lights.

There are several stars in the company at present who have already had lengthy careers in the indies before making their way to WWE, which is why they are much older than fans believe. Others found other routes into WWE and are now some of the youngest stars in the company. That being said, not all WWE stars actually look their age. In this article. we look at three current WWE Superstars who are older than they look and three who are much younger


#6. Older: WWE RAW Women's Champion Asuka (38)

Asuka is the current RAW Women's Champion and even though her time on the main roster hasn't been as significant as her time in NXT, The Empress of Tomorrow has already carved out quite the career.

As a former Royal Rumble winner, the longest-reigning NXT Women's Champion and a Women's Money in the Bank winner, Asuka has accomplished a number of feats since signing for WWE in 2015.

Before signing with WWE, Asuka had already been part of the wrestling industry for more than a decade after having made her debut back in 2004. This is why many fans are unaware that Asuka is actually 38 years old.

The former Women's Tag Team Champion looks much younger than many of her fellow female Superstars, but the years that she spent on the wrestling circuit in Japan before coming to WWE have definitely added to the experience that The Empress now has.

#5. Younger: WWE Universal Champion Bray Wyatt (33)

Current Universal Champion Bray Wyatt has been a member of The Nexus, the patriarch of The Wyatt Family, and was a former WWE Champion before he was repackaged as The Fiend. Since then, he has become one of the company's most popular stars.

The Fiend is now a two-time Universal Champion and has been with the company for more than a decade. Wyatt has also had quite a busy personal life as he has welcomed four children in recent years.

Given the fact, many fans could be misled into believing that Bray Wyatt is actually much older than he is, but he is only 33 years old.

This means that when Wyatt signed for WWE, he was just 22 years old. He was known as Husky Harris throughout his time in the Nexus, but it took until 2012 for him to debut his Bray Wyatt character in WWE.

It's also interesting to note that former NXT Champion Bo Dallas is actually Wyatt's younger brother by three years.

#4. Older: WWE RAW Superstar Shayna Baszler (40)

Shayna Baszler has become one of the most dominant female wrestlers in WWE since making her debut for the company as part of The Mae Young Classic back in 2017.

Baszler is already a former NXT Women's Champion but many fans are unaware that The Queen of Spades had some wrestling experience before joining WWE. Baszler worked for Ring of Honor and Stardom back in 2015 before making her WWE debut a few years later.

Baszler has also spent much of her life training and performing in MMA, a career that began for Baszler back in 2006. Unlike many female wrestlers, she was unable to step into a career in the wrestling business earlier on, which is why she is currently one of the oldest female wrestlers in the company at 40 years old.

Baszler only recently turned 40, but The Submission Magician is in fantastic shape. Given her physical condition, Baszler could easily be a mainstay on WWE's main roster for a long time to come.

#3. Younger: WWE CBO Stephanie McMahon (43)

Stephanie McMahon has been a household name since the 1990s and has been a constant on-screen presence in WWE over the last few decades.

McMahon made her debut in WWE when she was just 21 years old and has become one of the best known female stars in the company ever since.

It's hard to believe that it's been two decades since Stephanie McMahon made her WWE debut. Married to Triple H, she has been able to start her own family while also continuing to play a prominent role in the growth of the company, first as the Executive Vice President of Creative and now as the Chief Brand Officer.

McMahon is a mother of three, with her oldest daughter recently turning 14. The fact that her husband Triple H recently turned 51 means that many fans believe that McMahon is much older than she actually is, when in fact, Stephanie is just 43 years old.

Perhaps the fact that McMahon has been around WWE TV for so long has led many fans to believe that she is actually much older than she is, but she still looks fantastic for her age.

#2. Older: WWE NXT Superstar Finn Balor (39)

Finn Balor is currently part of the NXT brand. Being sent back down to what was once considered to be the developmental brand of WWE has helped Balor's career, with him now being in contention for the NXT Championship.

Balor has been part of WWE since 2014 when he was signed to NXT and later went on to become NXT Champion. While Finn Balor still looks like one of the younger members of the roster and has only been part of the company for six years, Balor has been wrestling since 2000 and has performed for many major companies all over the world.

Balor toured The United Kingdom, Ireland, and The United States in his early years before finding a home in New Japan Pro Wrestling back in 2006, a place he went on to stay until he signed for WWE eight years later.

The fact that Balor has been in the business for two decades isn't well-known to fans since he was just 19 when he made his debut in NWA UK Hammerlock. This could be why many believe that Balor is much younger than he actually is, but the star recently turned 39 years old.

#1. Younger: 38-time WWE 24/7 Championship R-Truth (48)

R-Truth has been around the wrestling scene since the 1990s and is a veteran of the business. In his current run, he has been able to stick with the same gimmick on WWE TV for a number of years, something not many wrestlers can boast about.

Truth first worked for WWE from 1998 until 2002 under the ring name K-Kwik before leaving the company and going on to make a name for himself in IMPACT Wrestling. This is his second stint with the company after he signed with WWE for the second time in 2008

Truth made his official debut in the wrestling business back in 1997, but the former 24/7 Champion pursued a career in music and only turned to wrestling after it ran its course.

This meant that Truth was already 25 years old when he first debuted. Despite turning 48 earlier this year, Truth doesn't seem as though he's the oldest active star in the locker room and is easily one of the best comedic acts going around in pro wrestling.
