The present-day WWE roster is filled with talented men and women from all around the globe. Over the past few years, WWE has exploited the Independent scene in the United States of America and has also looked into the British, German, and other major European indie scenes.
Despite having a rough 2020, WWE did their absolute best and produced top-notch shows and PPVs through the majority of the year.
What was a bizarre year for everyone, in general, also saw WWE elevate some of their Superstars to the next level of stardom, namely Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns, Bayley, and Sasha Banks.
However, among the vast majority of the regulars in the WWE roster, the company is also the home for some of the business's biggest veterans. In 2020, the WWE Universe also got a glimpse of some of the industry's icons for the final time.
That being said, though, this article takes a look at some of those wrestlers who are still listed as current Superstars on WWE.com. Throughout the past 365 days, WWE has had to bid farewell to a few household names, whereas a few have completely gone off TV.
Without further ado, let's get straight into the list of five wrestlers who are still listed as WWE Superstars on the company's official website.
#5 WWE's chief brand offer Stephanie McMahon hasn't competed in three years
Stephanie McMahon is mostly known for her on-screen authority role in WWE. However, the former WWE Women's Champion has also competed for several years. The last time fans saw Stephanie active in a squared circle was in 2018.
The former WWE Women's Champion was involved in a huge Mixed Tag Team match involving Ronda Rousey, Kurt Angle, and her husband Triple H.
In a fun 30+ minute match, Rousey and Angle would go on to beat Stephanie and The Game. The match's finish occurred when Stephanie tapped out to Rousey's armbar submission.
After the loss, the chief brand officer of WWE would only make sporadic appearances on TV.
While Stephanie McMahon is still listed as a current Superstar, she is yet to wrestle in a match since her WrestleMania 34 loss. It remains to be seen if the former Women's Champion will ever compete in a ring again or not.
#4 Jason Jordan also last wrestled in WWE back in 2018
When Jason Jordan first broke out as a tag team Superstar with Chad Gable, the entire WWE Universe had big expectations from both men. As part of the American Alpha, both Jordan and Gable offered much versatility inside the squared circle and took NXT by storm.
Not only did the duo put together some absolute classics in NXT, but thanks to their in-ring consistency, both Jason Jordan and Chad Gable were rewarded with a run with the NXT Tag Team Championships. Upon their call-up to the main roster, American Alpha won the SmackDown Tag Team titles and got off to a solid start.
Like every other prominent tag team, though, WWE decided to split the duo with Jason Jordan being revealed as Kurt Angle's kayfabe son. With Jordan moving to Monday Night RAW, he formed a partnership with Seth Rollins.
There, he became one of the few Superstars to win the NXT, SmackDown, and RAW Tag Team Championships. However, during his storyline alongside Rollins, Jordan was forced to be written off WWE TV, as he had to undergo neck surgery.
While Jordan is still listed as a WWE Superstar, the former multiple-time tag team champion hasn't competed inside the squared circle for almost three years.
#3 Rob Gronkowski was quietly released by WWE in 2020
Rob Gronkowski's run in WWE could be labeled as fun yet bizarre. As a lifelong wrestling fan, Gronk first appeared on WWE TV during WrestleMania 33 when he made a cameo at the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
At the show, Gronk helped Mojo Rawley win the battle royal and immediately made an impact on his first WWE appearance.
In 2020, Gronk went on to host WrestleMania 36, held behind closed doors at the WWE Performance Center. And, much to everyone's surprise, Gronk even won the WWE 24/7 Championship on the second day of the event. So much so, Gronk even went on to enjoy the longest reign with the 24/7 title before losing it to R-Truth.
However, despite all the success in such a short period of time, Gronk was quietly released from WWE the same year. Several reports also suggested that he had major heat backstage with the company. But, the recent Slammy Award winner is still regarded as a Superstar on WWE.com.
#2 Brock Lesnar's WWE contract expired in 2020
The last time fans saw Brock Lesnar on WWE TV was way back at WrestleMania 36 when he lost the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre.
Since making his return to professional wrestling from the world of Mixed Martial Arts in 2012, Lesnar has been a vital part of WWE and has been involved in some of the biggest storylines in these past 9 years.
The former UFC heavyweight champion's latest run with WWE saw him share the center stage with some of the sport's icons, including a historic WrestleMania XXX match against The Undertaker. The same showdown saw The Beast Incarnate end The Deadman's iconic WM streak.
Since that win, Brock Lesnar pretty much transitioned himself to a household name in WWE. As a three-time Universal Champion, Lesnar provided the WWE Universe with some dream clashes in recent years against the likes of AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and Daniel Bryan.
While reports have suggested that Brock Lesnar is currently no longer under a WWE contract, the former five-time WWE Champion remains a part of the active Superstars list on WWE.com. And if history suggests anything, The Beast Incarnate could eventually make his return to the company at some point down the road.
#1 The Undertaker announced his retirement at WWE Survivor Series
At last year's WWE Survivor Series, The Undertaker finally called it a day and decided to announce his retirement from in-ring competition officially.
Having been a massive part of WWE for about three decades, The Deadman has never failed to entertain the fans and established quite its own legacy.
In his final ever WWE match, which occurred at WrestleMania 36, The Undertaker also had the opportunity to present the fans with the very first Boneyard Match in WWE history.
In a match between The Phenom and The Phenomenal One, 'Taker put on an instant cinematic classic with AJ Styles and eventually beat the former WWE Champion to cap off the first night of a historic WM 36.
He then announced his retirement from pro-wrestling after his docuseries "Undertaker: The Last Ride" was released, but he remains a part of the active WWE Superstars list.
Even though he's listed as a current Superstar on WWE.com, it's quite unlikely that The Deadman will make a return to in-ring competition from here onwards.
However, the WWE Universe could be in for potential cameos from 'Taker from time to time.
