While the Attitude Era featured many of the most popular WWE Superstars in wrestling history, that doesn't mean the roster was stacked from top to bottom.

During the modern era, however, nearly every member of the WWE roster is tremendously skilled and/or has made a major impact on the wrestling industry, either in WWE or another promotion.

Just look at the current WWE Roster. You have AJ Styles, Ricochet, Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, The New Day, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, Charlotte Flair, Asuka, Io Shirai, Adam Cole, and many others who are no questions asked main event talent. The Attitude Era had a handful of big names, but overall the modern WWE roster is much stronger.
