#10 Finn Balor

Too Sweet

Finn Balor is one of the most technically gifted and internationally popular wrestlers on this planet. Within WWE he was the first ever Universal Champion and former NXT champion. He also features prominently on Raw every week and wows fans with his classy in-ring skills, elaborate entrance, and good looks. Although, many people find his WWE run to be underwhelming in terms of booking; fortunately, that hasn't stopped him from cementing his position on this list.

#9 Big Show

The World's Largest Athlete

Big Show has been one of the most towering personalities in WWE history both literally and symbolically. Although he hasn't wrestled in about a year now, the nineteen grueling years he has had as a top-level superstar have made him very popular amongst the masses. He is a former four-time world champion and has been in the main event of WrestleMania. It wouldn't be incorrect to say that he is one of the most accomplished wrestlers of all time and will be a definite future Hall of Fame headliner. His blend of astonishing size and good athleticism make him one of the most recognizable wrestlers on the planet and therefore, even after almost two decades since first showing up, he still holds this position.

#8 Seth Rollins

The Kingslayer

Seth Rollins is probably the most exciting to watch and consistent performer on Raw these days. He has had pay-per-view level matches with the likes of Roman Reigns and Finn Balor over the past one year. He is also already a grand slam champion and has headlined several pay-per-views for the company. Thus, to find him in this position shouldn't come as a surprise at all.

#7 Sasha Banks

The Legit Boss

Sasha Banks is one of the best female wrestlers on the planet. She is a four-time Women's champion and was one of two first women to headline a proper WWE pay-per-view. To put the icing on the cake, she is just 26 years old! Her incredible selling, commendable in-ring skills, and likable gimmick make her immensely popular amongst the WWE universe. She shines as the youngest member on this list.

#6 Dean Ambrose

The Lunatic Fringe

Dean Ambrose is incredibly popular with fans of all ages. His recent return got a huge pop from the crowd and generated a lot of buzzes online. His unconventional wrestling, abnormal gimmick and sheer professional commitment have paved the way for him on this list. With a grand slam champion's resume, it's only time we see him in the main event scene of WrestleMania.

#5 Braun Strowman

Mr.

Monster in the Bank

The Monster among Men has had perhaps the best year in WWE so far. He has been made to look nothing less than invincible. He destroyed Kane, beat Sheamus and Cesaro with a child as his partner, eliminated a record five people in the elimination chamber match, won the Greatest Royal Rumble match and also became Mr. Monster in the Bank. The sheer destruction he causes and his impressive athleticism have skyrocketed him to the fifth position on this list. It's only a matter of time before he gets those hands on the Universal Championship.

#4 Alexa Bliss

Five Feet of Fury

The self-proclaimed Goddess has established herself as one of the most successful heels of her generation. She is already a five-time Women's champion and also the latest Women's Money in the Bank winner. Although her matches haven't been spectacular, it's her solid character work, unparalleled facial expressions, and fabulous microphone skills that make her so interesting to watch.

#3 Ronda Rousey

The Baddest Women On the Planet

Ronda Rousey is one of the biggest mainstream attractions in WWE. She was on top in UFC, has been in Hollywood and is a former Olympian as well. On top of this despite people being initially skeptical to her professional wrestling debut she has more than impressed every time she has performed. She has become the Raw Women's champion in a matter of months since her debut and every arena she enters echoes with deafening chants of her name.

#2 Brock Lesnar

The Beast

Brock Lesnar remains to be one of WWE's biggest draws. He gets paid much more than normal wrestlers for doing considerably lesser work. This is because of the immense star power he possesses. Ratings of Raw soar whenever he shows up. He is a former five-time world champion and also former UFC heavyweight champion. Love him or hate him, he still is the second most searched wrestler on Raw.

#1 Roman Reigns

The Big Dog

Roman Reigns hailed as the most polarizing figure in WWE today by Michael Cole seems to actually live up to that. His position as the face of the company has made him immensely popular with the children and most of the casual fans. Even among the hardcore male fans, although opinions remain decided, everybody sure has a strong emotion for him, either love or hatred. Recently his reactions seem to be getting better and better and he has also achieved the unfathomable by toppling John Cena as the company's biggest merchandise seller. The very fact that our current Universal Champion is more searched than huge mainstream names like Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey testifies to the fact that he has been a success as the top babyface.
