WWE Superstars' weights (from 156 lbs to 385 lbs): How much do Big Show, Braun Strowman & Roman Reigns weigh?

In the same way that actors lose and gain weight for movie roles, plenty of WWE Superstars have altered their diet in an attempt to change their lifestyle and appearance.

The most famous example is, of course, The Big Show. The seven-foot Superstar was billed at 500 lbs for much of his WWE career before losing over 100 lbs as part of his drastic transformation in 2016-17.

In contrast, some WWE Superstars have been encouraged to gain weight in the early stages of their careers, including the likes of CM Punk and Street Profits member Montez Ford.

Now that WWE is no longer considered to be “The Land of the Giants”, Superstars of all shapes and sizes have achieved success over the last couple of decades in WWE – from Rey Mysterio and Daniel Bryan to larger Superstars like Goldberg and Brock Lesnar.

Excluding WWE’s female Superstars, whose weights are not announced before matches, let’s take a look at how much every current RAW and SmackDown Superstar weighs.

#6 WWE Superstars’ weights (156 lbs to 205 lbs)

This list only focuses on Superstars from WWE’s top two shows, RAW and SmackDown, but there are still plenty of former 205 Live Superstars who appear in the first category.

The lightest Superstar on the roster right now, one-time Cruiserweight Champion Akira Tozawa, lost a lot of weight before joining WWE in 2016, as you can see in the Instagram post above.

It is worth bearing in mind throughout this article that WWE – and wrestling promotions in general – often exaggerate the weights of performers to make them seem bigger than they actually are.

Former WWE Superstar Austin Aries said in an interview with Chris Van Vliet in 2019 that he was once billed at 200 lbs, even though he is around 160-165 lbs and he has never weighed more than 190 lbs.

• Akira Tozawa - 156 lbs
• Kalisto - 170 lbs
• Lince Dorado - 170 lbs
• Gran Metalik - 175 lbs
• Rey Mysterio - 175 lbs
• Mustafa Ali - 182 lbs
• Ricochet - 188 lbs
• Drew Gulak - 193 lbs
• Humberto Carrillo - 198 lbs
• Dominik Mysterio - 200 lbs
• Shorty G - 202 lbs
• Angel Garza - 205 lbs
• Cedric Alexander - 205 lbs
• Xavier Woods - 205 lbs

#5 WWE Superstars’ weights (210 lbs to 221 lbs)

Elias is three centimeters taller than AJ Styles and he looks significantly larger than the two-time WWE Champion. However, according to WWE’s website, he is actually one pound lighter than his fellow SmackDown Superstar.

Daniel Bryan is another standout name in this category. The WrestleMania 30 main-eventer’s name is often brought up when smaller Superstars are mentioned, including in the introduction to this article, but his billed weight is not far off the likes of Styles and Seth Rollins.

Kofi Kingston’s weight has also been questioned by many WWE fans over the years. Even though the New Day member is billed at 212 lbs, it is safe to assume that he is one of the Superstars whose weight has been exaggerated by WWE.

• Andrade - 210 lbs
• Daniel Bryan - 210 lbs
• Kofi Kingston - 212 lbs
• Sami Zayn - 212 lbs
• Aleister Black - 215 lbs
• John Morrison - 215 lbs
• Matt Riddle - 216 lbs
• Elias - 217 lbs
• Seth Rollins - 217 lbs
• AJ Styles - 218 lbs
• Dolph Ziggler - 218 lbs
• R-Truth - 220 lbs
• The Miz - 221 lbs

#4 WWE Superstars’ weights (225 lbs to 238 lbs)

As mentioned earlier in this article, Montez Ford gained over 40 lbs before he joined WWE in 2015.

The current WWE RAW Tag Team Champion told Yahoo Sports in 2019 that he was initially rejected by the company because he was not big enough.

“[WWE] told me that I spoke very well, but I needed to put on more weight. Over the next 18 months, I put on 40-plus pounds and had my second tryout in late 2014. That was where I got signed and then I started in April 2015.”

Further down this category, Jinder Mahal returned to WWE in 2016 with a shredded physique, two years after receiving his release from the company. He is now billed at 238 lbs, compared to 221 lbs during the early days of his WWE career.

• Jeff Hardy - 225 lbs
• Murphy - 225 lbs
• Steve Cutler - 227 lbs
• Jey Uso - 228 lbs
• Shinsuke Nakamura - 229 lbs
• Shane McMahon - 230 lbs
• Cesaro - 232 lbs
• Montez Ford - 232 lbs
• Bo Dallas - 234 lbs
• Robert Roode - 235 lbs
• Jinder Mahal - 238 lbs

#3 WWE Superstars’ weights (240 lbs to 260 lbs)

The most interesting takeaway from this category is the presence of WWE SmackDown Superstar Jimmy Uso (251 lbs), and the fact that he is apparently 23 lbs heavier than his brother, Jey Uso (228 lbs).

Edge’s name also stands out in the list below. Back in 1999, the up-and-coming Superstar was billed at 240 lbs when he made his WWE entrances. Nowadays, he is billed at 241 lbs.

Just to reiterate, this article is based on WWE Superstars’ weights on the company’s official website, which means Sheamus is listed below at 250 lbs.

However, he has recently been billed at 267 lbs before his WWE matches, even though the man himself said in 2019 that he has lost 40 lbs.

• Apollo Crews - 240 lbs
• Wesley Blake - 240 lbs
• Edge - 241 lbs
• Jaxson Ryker - 245 lbs
• Riddick Moss - 245 lbs
• Erik - 247 lbs
• Shelton Benjamin - 248 lbs
• Randy Orton - 250 lbs
• Sheamus - 250 lbs
• Jimmy Uso - 251 lbs
• John Cena - 251 lbs
• Triple H - 255 lbs
• MVP - 259 lbs
• Angelo Dawkins - 260 lbs

#2 WWE Superstars’ weights (265 lbs to 286 lbs)

It is noticeable that the WWE Superstars in these categories are getting more and more successful as we approach the heaviest Superstars on the roster.

The list below contains six WWE World Champions, including current WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, while others in this category – Big E and King Corbin, for example – are bound to be in the World Championship picture in the future.

Having previously weighed 317 lbs as an American footballer, Corbin had to change his lifestyle to get down to his current WWE weight.

As for Brock Lesnar, he is officially a free agent right now but he features in this list because, according to WWE’s website, he is still an active member of the RAW roster.

• Drew McIntyre - 265 lbs
• Mojo Rawley - 265 lbs
• Roman Reigns - 265 lbs
• Kevin Owens - 266 lbs
• Titus O'Neil - 270 lbs
• Bobby Lashley - 273 lbs
• Samoa Joe - 282 lbs
• Big E - 285 lbs
• Bray Wyatt - 285 lbs
• King Corbin - 285 lbs
• Goldberg - 285 lbs
• Brock Lesnar - 286 lbs

#1 WWE Superstars’ weights (305 lbs to 385 lbs)

After counting down (or up, in terms of weight) over 60 WWE Superstars, there is some controversy when it comes to revealing the heaviest person on the WWE roster.

Braun Strowman recently mentioned in an Instagram post that he weighs 355 lbs, meaning he is actually 30 lbs lighter than his billed weight of 385 lbs.

In contrast, The Big Show is billed at 383 lbs on both WWE’s website and on WWE television – 117 lbs lighter than his alleged weight earlier in his career.

It is also debatable whether The Undertaker really is 309 lbs. The Deadman used to be billed at 299 lbs, so it is interesting that WWE now says he is 309 lbs when he revealed in 2019 that he has lost 25 lbs.

Again, just like with Brock Lesnar, 'Taker is still listed as a current Superstar on WWE's website, which is why he is in this category.

• Ivar - 305 lbs
• The Undertaker - 309 lbs
• Tucker - 320 lbs
• Kane - 323 lbs
• Lars Sullivan - 330 lbs
• Otis - 330 lbs
• Keith Lee - 340 lbs
• Big Show - 383 lbs
• Braun Strowman - 385 lbs
