There are a number of WWE Superstars over the age of 40 on RAW

WWE has signed a number of young superstars in the past and has since allowed them to flourish as part of the company. The likes of Roman Reigns and Alexa Bliss are complete products of WWE's Performance Center, whilst several other stars were signed following Independent circuit stints.

The age of WWE Superstars seems to be getting much older since the company has become reliant on part-time wrestlers and stars that they consider to be trustworthy.

The recent WWE Championship storyline between Bobby Lashley and Randy Orton had a combined age of almost 90 years old. Incredibly, despite the recent influx of younger talent, much of the Monday Night RAW roster is dominated by superstars over the age of 40.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#10. WWE Superstar The Miz - 40 years old

The Miz hasn't been seen on WWE TV for several weeks after turning on his long-time best friend John Morrison. It's unclear why The Miz has been absent, but he is expected to pick up his feud with Morrison upon his return.

The Miz has been part of WWE since 2005 when he came into the business as a reality TV star and has since climbed through the ranks in the company. The star is now a former world champion and WrestleMania main eventer but is still one of the company's most reliable performers at the seasoned age of 40.


#9. Former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston - 40 years old

Kofi Kingston is currently part of the Tag Team Division on Monday Night RAW alongside Xavier Woods. The duo recently celebrated their fellow friend Big E's WWE Championship win, just two years after Kingston's.

Like many of the stars who make up this list, Kingston has been part of the company for more than a decade and has been able to prove his worth in that time. Kingston is now a 13-time Tag Team Champion, three-time United States Champion, four-time Intercontinental Champion, and a former World Champion.

That's quite the resume for a superstar who has only recently turned 40 years old.

#8. 14-time WWE World Champion Randy Orton - 41 years old

Randy Orton was recently part of the WWE Championship picture alongside Bobby Lashley but is currently still one-half of the RAW Tag Team Champions. Orton has been part of WWE since he was just 21 years old, meaning that the star has spent most of his adult life in a wrestling ring.

Orton has won the WWE Championship 14-times and is currently joint with Triple H for the third-most title wins in WWE history. Orton is also a former two-time Royal Rumble winner and a former Mr. Money in the Bank.

It's impressive to see just how much that the star has accomplished throughout his tenure with Vince McMahon's company.


#7. Former WWE Champion Sheamus - 43 years old

Sheamus is another seasoned WWE Superstar who has now been part of WWE for more than a decade.

Sheamus is currently considered to be a mid-card star following his recent reign as United States Champion but is still one of the company's most consistent performers.

In the past decade, the Irish star has raked in some interesting accolades: three-time WWE Champion, Royal Rumble winner, Mr. Money In The Bank, King of the Ring winner, and a former World Heavyweight Champion.

It's interesting to note that despite all of this, Sheamus is still only 43 years old and far from the oldest star on RAW.

#6. Former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy - 44 years old

Jeff Hardy is a former World Champion who's recently in the news because his WWE contract is set to expire next year.

Hardy and his brother Matt made their return to the company back at WrestleMania 33, but whilst Matt has moved on to a stint in AEW, Jeff has remained in WWE because of recent layoffs due to injury.

Hardy debuted in WWE when he was just 15 years old and has since wrestled for numerous other companies over the past three decades.


#5. Former WWE Champion AJ Styles - 44 years old

AJ Styles made his WWE debut as part of the Royal Rumble back in 2016 and has since been able to capture the top championship. Styles made a name for himself in IMPACT Wrestling ahead of his WWE debut and has been a consistent force on RAW over the past few months.

The Phenomenal One is aware that he is nearing the end of his career and has been happy to help new talent who are making their way through the ranks. This includes his recent RAW Tag Team Championship reign with Omos.

#4. Former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley - 45 years old

Bobby Lashley recently lost his WWE Championship to Big E following his Money in the Bank cash-in. Lashley re-signed with WWE in 2018 after almost a decade away from the company where he was able to pursue a career in MMA and work for several independent promotions.

Lashley came into the business late and was almost 30-years-old when he made his WWE debut. He has since made a name for himself in both WWE and IMPACT Wrestling over the past 15 years. Lashley is still in impressive shape for someone aged 45.


#3. Current WWE Superstar Shelton Benjamin - 46 years old

Shelton Benjamin signed with WWE back in 2000 alongside Brock Lesnar after the duo had become close friends during their time as college roommates. Interestingly, at the time Jim Cornette partnered the duo together because he believed that Lesnar was boring as a wrestler and Benjamin would add some excitement.

Despite spending the last two decades in the wrestling world, Benjamin has never been a star who has been able to sit at the top of the pyramid. Benjamin is considered to be a tag team specialist and was most recently Tag Team Champion alongside Cedric Alexander when the duo were part of The Hurt Business.

#2. Current WWE Superstar MVP - 47 years old

MVP has been part of two stints with WWE, the first one ending back in 2010. The star then went on to work for NJPW, IMPACT Wrestling and other independent promotions. WWE came calling again back in 2020 when the star made his return at The Royal Rumble.

MVP has been a consistent star in WWE for almost two years after aligning himself with Bobby Lashley and leading The All Mighty to a WWE Championship reign. MVP has had quite a career since making his wrestling debut at the age of 29, which means that he's been part of the business for almost two decades.


#1. Current WWE Superstar R-Truth - 49 years old

R-Truth is one of WWE's most entertaining stars and has most recently been pushed into the storyline surrounding the 24/7 Championship.

R-Truth is a record 53-time former 24/7 Champion and was most recently seen as part of a segment on RAW where he was looking to regain the Championship from Reggie. Truth has been part of two stints with WWE with his current one beginning back in 2008. After 13 years with the company, Truth has become one of the company's most reliable stars and a safe pair of hands.

Truth is just months off his 50th birthday, it will be interesting to see if WWE allows the star to have some kind of celebration.
