5 WWE Superstars with the best mic skills on the current roster

In an organization like WWE, only having good in-ring skills cannot help an individual reach the top; being good on the mic is equally important. Being a WWE Superstar, cutting good promos is as important as having a decent match. If we look at the top Superstars of the company from the past, they all had one thing in common.

All of them were complete packages, excellent inside the ring, and effortlessly brilliant on the mic as well — Stone Cold, The Rock, John Cena, CM Punk, Chris Jericho, and Shawn Michaels, just to name a few.

Now let us have a look at some of the current names that fit this category. But before we start, let us look at some honorary mentions.

R-Truth, Randy Orton, Big E, Otis, Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins, Baron Corbin, AJ Styles, and Drew McIntyre all have gotten followings, both because of their abilities ring and their promo skills.

#5 Paul Heyman

Let us face the fact that Paul Heyman is, hands down, one of the best speakers in WWE. He is the only non-wrestler to make the list. The sole reason he is so low on this list is due to the fact he is not a professional wrestler. Despite this, he is one of the most important people in the WWE roster at this moment. The Advocate to The Beast, along with his client Brock Lesnar, does not show up regularly on TV. But whenever they both do, their segments are something that you just can't miss.

Heyman has been associated with the company for a long time now. The Advocate to the current Universal Champion is also the Executive Director of Monday Night Raw. Heyman delivers his promos with an unbelievable amount of ease. He speaks from his heart and sounds so believable, that it seems he doesn't require any script. Be it selling matches by increasing the hype with mere words, putting other wrestlers over just by praising them, or making Brock Lesnar seem more threatening than he already is, he does all of this day in and day out.

#4 Samoa Joe

The Samoan Submission Machine is one of the most intimidating wrestlers on the current WWE Roster. His in-ring skills are second to none. Joe made his debut in the main roaster in 2017 after a successful stint in NXT. Since then, he has been involved in some amazing feuds with the likes of Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, and Jeff Hardy.

Through all these rivalries, Samoa Joe had some amazing moments, especially on the mic. Joe confronting Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns on an Episode of Monday Night RAW is a complete testament to his mic work. In his feud against AJ Styles, that got too personal as Joe brought AJ's family into it, Joe delivered his promos with such intensity that he came across like a psychopath. Added to this, who can forget his audacious interruption during the 20th-anniversary celebration of Jeff Hardy.

It is a shame that a talented wrestler like Joe is yet to have a noticeable title reign on the main roster. Having a look at the tools this man possesses, it must be about 'when' rather than 'if'.

#3 Bray Wyatt

Up until Super ShowDown, The Fiend was perhaps the hottest thing going around in the WWE and all the credit goes to one man, Bray Wyatt. Not only for coming up with the idea of a character like The Fiend, not only how he played the character, more than anything, what got everyone so hyped up about the new character was his Firefly Fun House. In each segment, the presentation from Bray was out of this world. He can't only deliver solid promos, but can also act pretty decently.

Even during his previous stint as Bray Wyatt, the man had already shown his range. Being the leader of the Wyatt Family, Bray delivered some amazing promos, sending chills down the spine of every listener. Bray Wyatt had a good run and featured in various main event angles. However, he lost way more than he won. The Fiend character seemed to be the resurrecting force that he needed to stay at the top. But after Super ShowDown, all the WWE fans must be praying that the Fiend doesn't meet the same fate as Bray Wyatt did.

#2 The Miz

One of the top heels for over a decade now, The Miz is one of the most improved wrestlers in the history of WWE. The Awesome One has come a long way and worked a lot to get better both inside the ring and on the mic. He is also one of those guys who can work the crowd with the microphone in hand.

His storytelling skills are something that makes him stand out. and the intensity with which he delivers his promos is untouchable.

Throughout his career, Miz has done an amazing job being an arrogant heel. His delivery makes him seem like a complete douche and easy to hate. But, his most talked about promos have come in the latter half of his career.

The intense promos in Talking Smack, his promos confronting John Cena and Roman Reigns on an episode of Monday Night RAW are some of the promos he delivered that made people cheer despite him being a heel. That is a sign of a great worker. Miz is currently the SmackDown Tag Team Champion along with the returning John Morrison.

#1 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens is one of the most talented wrestlers on the entire WWE Roster. He is one of the few wrestlers who are over with the crowd as well. Owens possesses an amazing move-set and is a great worker inside the squared circle. But what makes him stand out is his ability to portray a character in front of the camera.

From being a narcissist and arrogant heel to an opportunistic heel to the smart baby-face he is currently, he has done it all with so much grace. What has helped him throughout all of this, along with his in-ring capabilities, is his ability to deliver top-class promos without breaking a sweat. There was a time when Owens and Jericho were almost carrying Monday Night RAW on their backs with only their chemistry and amazing mic skills. Who can forget KO's promos during his feud against Shane McMahon? In addition to this, you can watch his backstage interviews on the WWE Network as they are extremely enjoyable.

He comes across like a guy being genuinely funny without even trying — that too without losing the image of a cool wrestler at the same time.
