WWE has long been a place where some of the tallest and heaviest athletes in the world have performed on a daily basis. Professional wrestling, at one time, was all about size and how big the competitors were. The taller and more muscled a wrestler was, the better there was a chance of them making their name as a part of the industry.
Over the years, this has changed a lot. While wrestlers like The Big Show and Great Khali remained a part and parcel of WWE programming, the way the company booked their content changed completely. The last decade saw a lot of smaller WWE Superstars succeeding, something they would have struggled to do only a few years back.
Given the change in the average height of successful WWE Superstars, the way the company booked their performers changed. Now, many of the old names who were the tallest in the company are no longer a part of WWE. For a long time, The Big Show, The Great Khali, The Undertaker, Kane, and others all held the titles of being the tallest superstars. Now that they have stepped away from the ring, newer superstars have stepped up to take their place.
The following are five of the tallest superstars currently active on the WWE roster. It should be noted that the data of the heights of the wrestlers on this list is from Cagematch.net.
#5 WWE NXT – Josh Briggs – 204 cm or 6 feet and 8 inches
Josh Briggs is one of the tallest WWE wrestlers currently in the company and most of the WWE Universe don’t even know him. Familiar to hardcore fans, Josh Briggs was previously in EVOLVE.
He was the final EVOLVE Champion before he signed with WWE in 2020. On August 31, 2020, he signed with WWE, after the company had purchased EVOLVE the previous month.
He reported to the Performance Center to train but since then, he has not made a single appearance for the company. Presumably, he is undergoing training and currently he is assigned to the NXT brand.
#4 WWE SmackDown – Commander Azeez – 206 cm or 6 feet and 9 inches
The WWE Universe was first introduced to Commander Azeez as Babatunde when he appeared at the Greatest Royal Rumble. However, the giant has since become an important part of regular programming.
He was shown as an indomitable force in the RAW Underground segments with Shane McMahon. When those stopped being aired, he stayed off television for a while too. He finally appeared next to Apollo Crews as Commander Azeez.
Since allying with Crews, he has been his bodyguard on SmackDown, dominating and destroying almost all opposition.
#3 WWE RAW — Dilsher Shanky – 216 cm or 7 feet and an inch
Dilsher Shanky recently made his main roster debut alongside Jinder Mahal on WWE RAW. He studied under The Great Khali and received all his training from there.
The first time he had appeared in WWE since the company announced the signing of three new Indian wrestlers in 2020 was at the Superstar Spectacle 2021 show. He appeared as Dilsher Shanky and teamed up with Rey Mysterio, Ricochet, and the next wrestler on this list.
He was impressive and now as part of Jinder Mahal’s new faction, he will have the opportunity to show off his skills for the WWE Universe.
#2 WWE Developmental — Giant Zanjeer – 219 cm or 7 feet and 2 inches
Much like his counterpart, Dilsher Shanky, Giant Zanjeer was also recently signed by WWE in 2020. Since then, he has undergone training. He trained under The Great Khali in India before he was selected.
As a giant, he is even taller than his friend and together he teamed with Shanky, Rey Mysterio, and Ricochet at Superstar Spectacle in an eight-man tag team match. Their team won much to the delight of the audience.
Whether he will make his WWE main roster debut soon remains to be seen, but he is now the second-tallest wrestler signed to WWE.
#1 WWE RAW — Omos – 221 cm or 7 feet and 3 inches
The tallest superstar in this list will not come as a surprise to any WWE fans. The current RAW Tag Team Champion Omos is one of the tallest-ever superstars to have wrestled in the company.
For a long time, he acted as a bodyguard, not really wrestling. He was at the RAW Underground segments as the bouncer for those meetings. However, when those ended, he remained off WWE TV for some time. When he resurfaced, he was paired with AJ Styles as his bodyguard.
He only recently made his debut as he was part of a tag team match at WrestleMania with AJ Styles, and the two of them won the RAW Tag Team titles.
