Who is the best wrestler in WWE right now - that is a question that is open-ended, subjective, and bound to evoke controversy among the WWE Universe. To be the best wrestler in WWE, there are various ingredients needed to be deemed one.
In WWE, a Superstar's success mostly depends on his talent - on the mic, in the right, and connecting with the fans; but a lot also depends on how much patience and effort WWE's creative team and top bosses show on the Superstar.
A Superstar is deemed the best wrestler in WWE not by dirt sheet writers or journalists; it's the fans who decide who is the best wrestler in WWE,
In this article, we are going to consider just the in-ring abilities that a WWE wrestler has shown over the recent months. This list will include Superstars of the main roster (RAW and SmackDown), and limited to just male Superstars from both rosters.
Here, we look at who is the best wrestler in the WWE right now.
#5 The Usos
Technically, this list is about one wrestler, but we're going to consider the Uso twins - Jimmy and Jey, as one, just like they show their incredible teamwork and high-flying abilities on SmackDown, wowing the audiences at almost every PPV.
The Usos have had a stellar career in the WWE so far, having won 5 tag team titles since debut back in 2010. The Usos and The New Day have had great matches on SmackDown as well as on PPVs over the last few years, firmly establishing that the SmackDown tag team division is miles ahead of RAW in terms of talent and putting on a great show.
Jimmy and Jey are regarded as the best wrestlers in the WWE right now thanks to their versatility and their ability to mix it up and put on a great show with big opponents who use brute force (like the Bludgeon Brothers), to agile, quick wrestlers (like The New Day).
Double Superkicks, Pop-Up Samoan Drop, to their finisher The Uso Splash, The Usos have a variety of offenses that they can use on their opponents.
#4 Finn Balor
Irish Superstar Finn Balor has shown us that smaller WWE Superstars can also succeed in the WWE, and that the WWE's top bosses are willing to give the more agile, smaller Superstars a chance at the top.
Yes, he hasn't had too many chances at the top of the card lately (that is due to the numerous Superstars that are waiting in line to get a push to the top) but one can't write him off anytime soon.
Finn Balor is one of the best wrestlers in WWE thanks to his incredible agility, quickness, and his eye-catching high-flying moves, that has won him millions of fans from around the world.
Balor had two great matches with Seth Rollins earlier this year on RAW, while his match-ups against Dolph Ziggler have also showcased the talents of both Superstars; the best wrestlers not only bring out the best in them but their opponents as well.
The Irish Superstar has shown that he can tell a great story inside the ring with all kinds of wrestlers, from a hulking big man like Drew McIntyre, or a much more technical wrestler like Seth Rollins or Dolph Ziggler.
#3 Drew McIntyre
If there's one person who is vastly different from the rest in this list, it is Drew McIntyre. At 6' 5", Drew McIntyre is a hulking beast, who shouldn't be able to do the things that he does in the ring.
Since debuting on the main roster once again earlier this year, McIntyre has been propelled to the top, on RAW, much deservedly, of course.
The Scottish Psychopath has a menacing look, can intimidate and send shivers while on the mic, and is deceptively quick and brutal inside the ring. McIntyre has honed his craft after a few years in the indies and a short stint at NXT, and is completely different to his previous avatar on WWE.
His successes in WWE are mainly due to how he can destroy and brutalise any and every opponent on the WWE roster, and how he can make it look incredibly believable.
He's one person I'd never want to cross!
#2 AJ Styles
If it was a year or two ago, former WWE Champion AJ Styles would be at the top of the list of the best wrestler in WWE right now.
Styles still delivers great matches whenever he steps in the ring - it seems as though it is as easy as peddling a bicycle for him. The Phenomenal One may be 41 years of age, and have almost two decades of wrestling under his belt, but his appetite for wrestling and him putting up engaging matches with almost every opponent hasn't diminished.
His feud with Shinsuke Nakamura may have not matched the lofty expectations set by the WWE Universe (their match at Money in the Bank was phenomenal, though), but he did have a great rivalry with Samoa Joe, with whom he has wrestled for years, at TNA.
Styles, like some of the best technical wrestlers, has multiple finishers that require every sinew of his body to align perfectly, which he does more often than not. On his day, Styles' wrestling is poetry in motion!
#1 Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins is undoubtedly the best wrestler in WWE right now, owing to phenomenal performances in the ring in the last year or so. Rollins is probably the best technical wrestler of the three members in The Shield, and perhaps the one that can make any match, with any opponent interesting.
As mentioned in the previous slides, Rollins put on a few great matches with Finn Balor earlier in the year, as well as an engaging match with Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam where he won the Intercontinental title.
But his pièce de résistance, the defining match of 2018 for him and possibly on RAW, was the hour-long Gauntlet match, which was the longest time a wrestler has been in the ring on RAW, where he defeated John Cena and Roman Reigns, only to be eliminated by Elias.
That performance alone will probably put him at the top of the pile of the best wrestler in WWE right now, but he has had more than one great match, delivering phenomenal matches on a consistent basis.
