August 9, 2025 Rasmus Kristensen

In a world where size, power, and pure strength can define a legacy, these 10 WWE Superstars stand out as the most physically dominant athletes to ever step inside the squared circle. Here’s a countdown of the strongest wrestlers in WWE history.

10. The British Bulldog (Davey Boy Smith)

Davey Boy Smith was the perfect blend of strength and athleticism. Known for his delayed vertical suplex, he could hold his opponents upside down for extended seconds, showing off his raw power. He effortlessly lifted giants like Vader and Mabel, making it clear why he earned the nickname "The British Bulldog."

9. Batista

Before joining WWE, Batista trained in Olympic-style lifts and competitive bodybuilding. His massive frame and explosive power allowed him to Batista Bomb some of WWE’s largest stars, including The Great Khali and Big Show. His strength was always one of his most reliable assets throughout his career.

8. Kane

At seven feet tall and built like a tank, Kane was one of WWE’s most imposing figures. Teammates and rivals alike have described him as “freakishly strong.” His power enabled him to dominate opponents of all sizes with ease and remain a mainstay in WWE for decades.

7. The Undertaker

While known for his dark persona and in-ring psychology, The Undertaker was also incredibly strong. He executed his Tombstone Piledriver on massive opponents like Mark Henry and Vader. His mix of strength and longevity helped him build one of the most respected legacies in wrestling.

6. Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli)

Cesaro may not have been the biggest man in WWE, but he was pound-for-pound one of the strongest. He once lifted Big Show over the top rope at WrestleMania and frequently swung opponents around in dizzying Cesaro Swings. His gym feats and ring strength were nothing short of jaw-dropping.

5. John Cena

John Cena’s strength has amazed fans for over 20 years. He’s known for lifting multiple superstars at once, like Edge and Big Show at WrestleMania 25. Videos of him benching and deadlifting over 500 pounds prove he’s not just a superhero in the ring—but also in the gym.

4. Big E

Big E brought legitimate powerlifting credentials into WWE, including a 711 lb bench press and an 800 lb deadlift. His explosiveness and ability to lift even the largest competitors like Braun Strowman made him a powerhouse in every sense of the word. Sadly, his in-ring career may be over due to injury.

3. Braun Strowman

Nicknamed “The Monster Among Men,” Braun Strowman was a professional strongman before joining WWE. His strength was on full display when he flipped vehicles and carried multiple opponents at once. At 6’8” and 385 lbs, his size was matched only by his brute force.

2. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is a once-in-a-generation athlete. A former NCAA wrestling champion and UFC heavyweight champ, Lesnar could throw giants like Big Show around like rag dolls. His explosive power, speed, and agility made him one of the most feared Superstars to ever compete.

1. Mark Henry

There’s a reason they called him “The World’s Strongest Man.” Mark Henry is a two-time Olympian, powerlifting champion, and strongman winner. With a 953 lb squat and a 903 lb deadlift, his numbers are unmatched. Inside and outside the ring, Henry redefined what strength truly means.
