April 2019 was a huge month for the WWE Superstars. As it was WrestleMania 35 month, there were a lot of matches as well as quite a few exciting spots throughout the month.

Some WWE Superstars won the biggest matches of their career till date, while others made debuts on the main roster after being called up from Developmental Territories. WrestleMania 35, NXT Takeover: New York, and many other events took place over the month including the Superstar ShakeUp.

If there is one thing April saw the most of, it was the fact that many Superstars got the opportunities of a lifetime and made the best of them.

In this article, we will be talking about 5 WWE Superstars who had the most successful April among the WWE roster. We will be talking about NXT Superstars, as well as Superstars from WWE RAW and WWE SmackDown Live.


#5 Seth Rollins

The second-ever member of the Shield to hold the WWE Universal Championship, Seth Rollins had a huge month of April.

He was able to defeat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 to become the new WWE Universal Champion. The reason he is rated below others on this list is that his title win was overshadowed by the accomplishments of others on this list.

Seth Rollins won an impressive victory over 'The Beast Incarnate' at WrestleMania 35 following 3 Curb Stomps. However, what followed next was that he did not do much over the next few RAWs. While he was apparently going to have a Winner Takes All match with Kofi Kingston, they were interrupted.

On top of that, on the last RAW of April, he was overshadowed by his opponent for WWE Money in the Bank 2019, as AJ Styles put him through a table with a Phenomenal Forearm after the contract signing.

The one other contributing part of April was 'The Shield's Final Chapter', where Ambrose said a final goodbye to the Hounds of Justice.

As a result, with the exception of his Universal Title win, Rollins' April did not help him. But the enormity of the achievement of defeating the Beast is enough for him to have a place on this list.

#4 Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch is the current WWE RAW and WWE SmackDown Women's Champion. She achieved this remarkable feat in April when she defeated both Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the first-ever Women's main event of WWE WrestleMania.

That, in itself, is an achievement that not many people would be able to boast of in their entire lives. In fact, other than Becky Lynch, at the moment, there is not a single person who has achieved this.

However, since then Becky Lynch has not had the best luck. In the upcoming WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view, Becky Lynch will be putting herself through hell.

Not only will she be putting up the SmackDown Women's Title up for grabs against the Queen, Charlotte Flair, she will also be defending the RAW Women's Title. Lacey Evans will be looking to get the title and has proved herself to be the antidote to Lynch. She has knocked out Lynch thrice with the Women's Right.

Lynch seems out of her depth at the moment, being ambushed again and again. She might have won a few matches, but the night has often ended with her on her back.

#3 Johnny Gargano

Johnny Gargano had one of the longest-ever running storylines for his journey to get to the NXT Championship.

During his time in WWE NXT, Gargano tried everything. He was the fan-favorite, he was the heel, and he was the tweener. He did not leave anything untried, but for some reason or the other, he could not get his hands on the NXT Championship, no matter how much he tried.

Finally, the opportunity came to him at NXT Takeover: New York.

With Tommaso Ciampa out of the picture, Johnny Gargano faced Adam Cole for the title.

And he won.

Johnny Gargano was able to overcome all the odds, as he won the NXT Championship that he so coveted.

Not only that, he then went on to defeat Roderick Strong on NXT in a non title match. The only reason he was not #1 on this list, is because he was beaten down by the Undisputed Era.

#2 Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston was the dream story that the WWE Universe threw themselves completely behind.

Who knew, when Mustafa Ali was injured, that Kofi Kingston would step up in the huge way that he did?

He stole the hearts and minds of the WWE Universe and he was rewarded for that.

After 11 years with the company, he finally made the journey to the WWE Championship. After 11 years, he was able to win the title in an incredible match with Daniel Bryan. The match was the best of the lot by far at WrestleMania 35.

The New Day celebrated the win of their brother like there was no tomorrow.

Unfortunately, since then, while Kingston has still appeared strong, he was betrayed by Kevin Owens and found himself on his back. It remains the one reason, he is not at the top of this list.

#1 WALTER

WWE United Kingdom Championship: WALTER
WWE United Kingdom Championship: WALTER

A member of the NXT UK Roster, what WALTER did at NXT Takeover: New York was practically unthinkable.

At NXT Takeover: Chicago back in 2017, Pete Dunne defeated Tyler Bate to become the WWE United Kingdom Champion. His reign was a long one and the Bruiserweight's prowess in the ring quickly came to the fore, as it became evident that it was not going to be any ordinary WWE Championship run.

The reign continued, as he defeated Superstars like Velveteen Dream, Zack Gibson, Joe Coffey, Jordan Devlin, Danny Burch, and Noam Dar, to name but a few.

At Takeover: New York, however, he met his match in WALTER. The deceptively fast and skilled giant of the United Kingdom scene took down Dunne again, and again until he could not get up. After a remarkable showing from both Superstars, WALTER became the new WWE United Kingdom Champion.

However, he was not done there, as in the next few weeks, he would defeat Pete Dunne again on an episode of NXT UK TV Tapings. At the moment, WALTER might be the most dominant Champion on the WWE roster.
