#11 Cedric Alexander: Cruiser-weight Champion

Age of Alexander!

Cedric is one of the best wrestlers of this year so far. It is the limited viewership of 205 live which holds him down. Neither is is the cruiser-weight Championship ever contestant for on any pay per view main show. Therefore, it is not surprising find him in this position.


#10 Rowan: Smackdown Tag Team Champion

Rowan is definitely good in the ring for a man of his size. However, he happens to be the least popular champion on the main roster. Maybe due to his combined identity with Harper as the Bludgeon Brothers. Still, as long as he is pushed like he is being right now things will keep on going north for him.

#9 Harper: SmackDown Tag Team Champion

Harper is probably the most underrated performer of the company. His current championship reign is a sigh of relief after years of poor booking. Just like his partner maybe his shared identity as one half of the Bludgeon Brothers puts him on a lower rank on this list.

#8: Bray Wyatt: Raw Tag Team Champion

Bray Wyatt has finally settled for a mid-card title after years of poor booking in the main event scene. His title reign, however, has been pretty dull. His interesting pairing with Matt Hardy does have the potential to succeed and one can only hope for the best in the future.

#7 Dolph Ziggler: Intercontinental Champion

The Showoff!

Dolph Ziggler is one of the most under-appreciated performers. He is still great in the ring and good on the microphone. His rivalry with Seth Rollins has been good so far and promises much more in the coming weeks. Being in WWE for 13 years now has made him one of the more recognizable and popular wrestlers on the roster. It is a delight to watch him as champion delivering good matches week after week.

#6: Matt Hardy: Raw Tag Team Champion

Matt Hardy is perhaps the greatest wrestler to never be a recognized world champion. It is commendable that he has managed to keep himself relevant even after almost two decades since we first saw him in the company. His woken gimmick is a creative genius and has a lot of potential to achieve much more. For the time being, holding another Tag Team Championship is another feather in the cap of his illustrious career.

#5: Carmella: SmackDown Women's Champion

Mella is Money!

It is quite a surprise to find Carmella so high on this list as it is just a first title reign. She hasn't particularly been in good matches since becoming champion. However, this does not seem to have affected her popularity. Maybe it's her good skills with the microphone and heel work that have made her popular with fans.

#4 Jeff Hardy: United States Champion

The Charismatic Enigma

Jeff Hardy is one of the most popular wrestlers of all time. He is still entertaining to watch and gives his best to every match he wrestles. Unparalleled charisma and high flying moves endear him even more to the fans. The fact that he still holds a Championship after almost 20 years of being on television is astonishing in itself.

#3 A.J. Styles: WWE Champion

The Phenomenal One

A. J. Styles is probably the best wrestler on the planet today. He is simply phenomenal at everything he does. Despite being new to WWE, he has been immensely popular with the fans. His reign with the company's top prize has also been very successful. On top of all this also one of the most hardworking performers in the company. Even at his age he performs at a very high level every week and delights us with tremendous matches.

#2 Alexa Bliss: Raw Women's Champion

Being five-time women's champion has put Alexa Bliss on top of the women's division. Despite playing a heel she is very popular with the fans of all ages. Her tremendous facial expressions and undeniable skills with the microphone have made her the second most searched champion in WWE today. She is yet to certify herself as a solid in-ring performer. But, the progress she has made over the past couple of years is second to none.

#1 Brock Lesnar: Universal Champion

The Beast Incarnate

Despite being absent most of the time Brock Lesnar remains to be one of the biggest mainstream attractions in WWE. Ratings of Raw go up whenever he shows up. He is also paid a lot more money than all of the wrestlers who perform every week. The reason for this is that he is a big box office draw. His title reign may be criticized for its undeserved longevity but, he is still always someone who fans like to search about.
