5 current WWE Superstars with the best PPV win ratios

Contrary to what some past and present WWE Superstars say, wins and losses do matter in wrestling and the way a character is booked plays a huge part in how fans perceive them.

Zack Ryder, for example, had a huge amount of support when he had his own YouTube show in 2011 but he went on to become a serial loser on WWE programming, which lost him fans and harmed his character.

Asuka, on the other hand, is yet to be defeated since she debuted in NXT in October 2015 and she is perceived by fans to be an unstoppable wrestling machine that “nobody is ready for”.

In this article, obtaining information from Cagematch.net, we decided to do a bit of research to find out which WWE Superstars have the best win ratios on pay-per-view, with the only rule being that they must have won at least 10 PPV matches in their WWE career.

Disclaimer: With The Undertaker's in-ring career uncertain, we decided to leave him out. Had he been included, he would have placed fifth with a 56.6% win ratio.

#5 Nikki Bella and Bray Wyatt (53.8% win ratios)

Nikki Bella and Bray Wyatt have won 35 PPV matches between them

It’s not too much of a surprise to see that Nikki Bella is in the top five. After all, she held the Divas Championship for a record 301 days and defended it on six pay-per-views between November 2014 and September 2015.

The Total Divas star has won 14 of her 26 PPV matches, with the most memorable victories coming against AJ Lee at Survivor Series 2014 (who can forget the 33-second win?!) and when she teamed with John Cena to defeat The Miz and Maryse at WrestleMania 33.

Surprisingly, for someone who is considered a regular loser when it comes to big matches, Bray Wyatt has an identical PPV win ratio to Nikki, only he has featured on more PPVs (21 wins from 39 matches).

Bray’s most impressive PPV win came when he defeated Daniel Bryan in the opening match of the 2014 Royal Rumble event, while he won the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber 2017.

#4 Seth Rollins (57.7% win ratio)

Seth Rollins has a better PPV win ratio than Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose

Seth Rollins was always going to feature in this list somewhere, wasn’t he? The only surprise is that he’s as low as fourth place and with a PPV win ratio of just 57.7%.

The former Raw Tag Team champion has won 30 of his 52 PPV matches, which gives him a higher win ratio than fellow Shield members Roman Reigns (50.9%) and Dean Ambrose (50%).

Seth’s biggest PPV triumph came when he cashed in his Money In The Bank contract in the main event of WrestleMania 31 to pin Reigns and win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship for the first time in his career.

#3 John Cena (58.7% win ratio)

The 2013 Royal Rumble was one of John Cena's many victories

Considering the ‘LOL Cena wins’ phrase that caught on so much with fans on the internet, we were more than a little bit shocked to find that John Cena has only won 58.7% of his matches on PPV.

The 16-time World champion has been victorious in 91 of the 155 PPVs he’s competed on, dating all the way back to 2002 when he defeated Chris Jericho in his first-ever PPV match.

Cena has had more memorable PPV victories than anybody but the most important triumph of his career arguably came when he defeated The Rock in the main event of WrestleMania 29, one year on from losing their much-anticipated ‘Once In A Lifetime’ encounter.

#2 Brock Lesnar (62% win ratio)

Brock Lesnar has won 31 of his 50 PPV matches

If this list had been compiled a year ago, there’s a good chance that Brock Lesnar wouldn’t have made the top five.

However, after a dominant year in which he has defeated Goldberg, Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, AJ Styles and Kane, “The Beast” now has a 62% PPV win ratio and a record of 31 wins from 50 matches.

In recent years, his greatest PPV win was undoubtedly against The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXX, while his best PPV victory during his first run with WWE came when he defeated The Rock at SummerSlam 2002.

#1 Charlotte Flair (77.8% win ratio)

They don't call her "The Queen of PPV" for nothing

Had we not been strict enough to rule that Superstars had to have won 10 PPV matches to feature in this list, then Neville (60%), Finn Balor (71.4%) and Asuka (100%) would have made the top five.

Either way, nobody's overall PPV record is as impressive as Charlotte Flair. The SmackDown Women’s champion was victorious in her first 16 PPV appearances and has a record of 21 wins from 27 PPV matches, giving her a win ratio of 77.8%.

“The Queen of PPV” defeated Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania 32 in what was, at that point, one of the biggest women’s matches in WWE history, but her greatest PPV triumph came when she defeated Sasha in the main event of Hell In A Cell 2016.
