Many superstars are used to shattering world records

WWE has been entertaining fans for nearly 70 years. Vince McMahon has led his troops for several decades and has given his competition a tough time.

With several matches taking place every week, the superstars involved have created some world records while competing in the ring. From longest matches to quickest victories, there are some personal records held by WWE Superstars.

However, many top names have gone on to shatter all records in the industry and made their way to the record books. Many achievements of WWE Superstars have found their way into the Guinness Book of World Records to make things more official.

Vince himself has a world record to his name as he has always preferred to lead from the front. John Cena is also one of the most well-known record holders of the company. He holds the record for the most world championship wins, and the highest number of wishes granted as part of the Make A Wish Foundation.

Additionally, Roman Reigns recently broke Brock Lesnar's record for the longest Universal Championship reign of all time.

Meanwhile, some superstars have broken world records outside the wrestling ring to register their names in the record books. With that said, check out the nine WWE Superstars who hold world records along with Vince McMahon.


#10. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon holds a special world record

The list fittingly kicks off with Vince McMahon, the man who built the company. The Chairman of the Board is known for his creativity and hard work behind the scenes.

Over the years, many superstars have praised McMahon’s schedule and still wonder how the 76-year-old continues to workout early in the morning and late at night. While he doesn’t compete in the ring anymore, Vince was active as a wrestler in the 1990s.

A match on September 14, 1999 episode of SmackDown earned him a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. He defeated Triple H to win the WWE Championship with outside interference from Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Vince McMahon vacated the title the next night on RAW. However, that didn't stop him from becoming the oldest wrestler to win the WWE Championship at the age of 54 years and 21 days.

Vince’s record for being the oldest world champion will probably never be broken, or so we hope. However, Goldberg could squash the record by winning a world title in the company once again before finally retiring.

#9. Natalya holds three world records in WWE

Many WWE Superstars on this list have multiple world records to their name. However, Natalya is the only female superstar who has three Guinness World Records under her belt.

While Natalya hasn’t won many championships in her career, she has made a name for herself in the industry. Natalya set the record for the most Premium Live Event appearances (female) with 68, following her traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination match.

On December 23, 2021, GWR also confirmed that Natalya had made the record for the most wins in a career (female) with 641. The Queen of Harts has also competed in the most matches for the company to set another record.

Natalya recently tried to set the record for the fastest win in the company against Aliyah. However, the newcomer shocked Natalya by pinning her in 3:17 seconds to set a record of her own.


#8. Randy Orton has a few world records of his own

Randy Orton is one of WWE’s most decorated superstars of all time. The Viper is a third-generation superstar who debuted in 2000. He could well go on to break the record of the most world championships in the company before he retires.

Orton is the youngest World Heavyweight Champion of all time. Additionally, he appeared in a record-breaking 177 pay-per-view (Premium Live Events) events, surpassing the previous record for most WWE PPV appearances (male) held by Kane.

The Apex Predator has also appeared in a record-setting 437 episodes of RAW. The future Hall of Famer has also headlined two WrestleMania events in his career.

#7. Xavier Woods has made it big outside WWE

The New Day has been the top faction in WWE for several years now. One of its members, Xavier Woods, has proven to be an asset for the company both inside and outside the ring.

Woods recently won the King of the Ring and is yet to win a world championship in WWE. Outside the ring, Woods is known for his career as a gamer and live streamer.

His well-known YouTube channel “UpUpDownDown” holds the Guinness World Record for being the most subscribed celebrity video game channel with 2.27 million subscribers (as of 20-01-2022). Woods, a die-hard gamer, has hosted several top names from within and outside the company on his channel, including Seth Rollins, Cesaro, Adam Cole, and Bayley.

The stars’ love for gaming has also earned him the right to be a part of several major gaming events. Now that's an incredible record to hold.


#6. Stone Cold Steve Austin's world record may never be broken

Stone Cold Steve Austin is arguably the most well-known superstar in WWE history. The six-time world champion made a name for himself in the 1990s and 2000s as the greatest anti-hero in the company’s history.

In 2001, Austin earned himself a Guinness World Record by becoming the first and only wrestler to win the Royal Rumble match on three separate occasions. Austin won the 30-man over-the-top-rope elimination match in 1997, 1998, and 2001.

While Austin did not get to enjoy a lengthy career due to injuries, he remains one of the most iconic names in the company’s history.

#5. The Undertaker holds a couple of world records

Not many have influenced WWE like The Undertaker. With a career spanning nearly three decades, The Undertaker has done and won it all in the company.

The Phenom is one of the most recognizable superstars of all time. That’s because he made a name for himself with great gimmicks and massive victories. He is one of the few WWE stars who holds not one but multiple Guinness World Records for his work in the ring.

The Undertaker holds world records for the longest career in the company and another for the longest WrestleMania Streak in history. He competed in his last match in 2020 before retiring.


#4. AJ Lee holds a unique WWE record

AJ Lee retired in 2015 after a successful WWE career. She competed for the company for nearly six years and won the Diva’s Championship thrice.

Lee also served as the General Manager of RAW for three months and had several on-screen relationships as part of her gimmick. While she never made a world record in the ring, she did manage to get into the Guinness World Records for something she did outside.

In 2012, Lee defeated Mark Henry to become the first female to win the annual WWE Superstar Challenge. The tournament consisted of 16 superstars, and Lee came out on top to take the title.

AJ Lee has become a successful author after stepping away from the ring. It won’t be a surprise if she creates a few more records, thanks to her writing.

#3. Brock Lesnar holds a special WWE record

Brock Lesnar has torn through nearly every opponent in WWE. He is arguably the best-booked wrestler in the company today and continues to prove himself in every run.

Lesnar has never won a mid-card title or tag team championship in his career. However, he is a nine-time world champion. His first championship victory in the company earned him a Guinness World Record that may never be broken.

On August 25, 2002, Lesnar became the youngest WWE Champion of all time at the age of 25 years and 44 days. The win cemented him as The Next Big Thing in the company. The Beast Incarnate hasn’t looked back ever since and has continued to steamroll his opponents to become the most dominant force in WWE.


#2. CM Punk also holds a world record

CM Punk was once the most well-known figure in wrestling. The Best in the World recently made his return to wrestling for AEW. Punk hasn’t been in the title picture for AEW as much as he was for his previous employer.

His work in the ring for the company earned him some remarkable records. Punk once held the WWE Championship for 434 days. However, that didn't land him in the record books. Instead, it was his victories in Money in the Bank Ladder Matches that have earned him a Guinness World Record.

The former superstar holds the record for having the most Money in the Bank ladder match victories at 2. While Edge and The Miz have won the briefcases on two occasions, they haven’t broken Punk’s record in MITB matches.

#1. WWE megastar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson holds several world records

Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson transformed from the most well-known WWew Superstar to one of the biggest celebrities in the world today. The Great One picked up huge victories during his career for the company.

However, his work outside the ring has earned him several world records. One record he holds is of being the highest-paid first-time leading actor as he was paid $5.5 million for his role in The Scorpion King.

In May 2015, Johnson took the most self-portrait photographs (selfies) in three minutes to set a world record. In the same year, The Rock earned a whopping $64.5 million to set another record.

The list doesn’t end there as Johnson and his team created the largest layered dip of all time, weighing in at a colossal 540 pounds. In 2017, the WWE legend's digital studio, Seven Bucks Digital Studios, made a maze of 3000 cereal boxes to topple domino-style to set yet another Guinness World Record.

His achievements prove he's among the most valuable entertainers in the world. He's still among the biggest draws in sports entertainment.
