5 toughest Superstars in the WWE today

The current WWE roster is full of sturdy wrestlers who are continuously impressing the fans with their matches.

Vince McMahon loves Superstars that are physically strong, and this is why many wrestlers in the WWE have an MMA background.

In the history of this company Superstars such as The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker, Mankind and more were considered to be legit tough guys. However, there is no doubt that these legends have provided many brutal fights but now they are becoming older, and at this age, it's not possible for them to produce matches like before.

Now stars such as Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, and AJ Styles have taken their place, but they don't have a record that shows their toughness. For this article, we will focus more on wrestlers who have a record for their toughness. So without further ado, let's take a look five sturdiest WWE wrestlers who can easily defeat their opponents.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#5 Shinsuke Nakamura

The addition of Nakamura in this list might surprise some fans as he is not that big as compared to some other wrestlers in the WWE. However, Nakamura also has a decent Mixed Martial Arts record of 3-1.

Even though he hasn't fought any match in the octagon for more than ten years, but this doesn't mean that one can take him easy. He is still is a bigger deal for many wrestlers, at least.

He has provided many good matches in both NJPW and WWE's NXT but for some fans scripted means fake. Wrestlers try their best not to hurt his opponent when performing the move but in some moves, it's impossible for them to lower the impact. Some wrestlers do get injured in matches and Nakamura has also provided many tough matches in his career which makes him one of the toughest wrestlers in the WWE.

#4 Ronda Rousey

First women ever to get inducted into the UFC Hall Of Fame

Former UFC Champion, Ronda Rousey is the current Raw Women's Champion. Earlier this year, she debuted in the company and since then managed to remain as a threat to her opponent.

WWE is booking her very strongly and whoever comes into her way get dethroned by the Baddest Women on the Planet. However, she is a threat in real life too.

She is a former UFC Bantamweight Champion as well as a Judoka too. She has a good record of 12-2 in the MMA world. She successfully defended her Bantamweight Title for a total of 6 times. If we consider all her accomplishments in the UFC, then it's safe to say that she is one of the toughest women on the planet.

#3 Rezar (Authors of Pain)

One half of the Authors Of Pain, Rezar also has an MMA background. Since his debut on the main roster, he failed to impress the fans, thanks to the WWE's bad booking.

During their NXT days, the team was managed by Paul Ellering, and many expected that they would become one of the best tag teams of this era. But again the WWE ruined everything by booking them in a meaningless feud on Raw.

At least he has a considerable record in Mixed Martial Arts. He has a record of 6-2 in MMA and his last match happened in 2014. He also has a big body that allows him to look like a threat to his opponent but it will be better if the company books him against big superstars.

Rezar hasn't shown his toughness in the ring so far, but we could see that too in the future.

#2 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley is one of those wrestlers who left wrestling to pursue a career in Mixed Martial Arts. He was a part of the WWE from 2004 to 2009 during which he won the ECW Championship (2 times) and the United States Championship.

After his departure, he joined TNA (now Impact Wrestling) to improve his career. On this year's Raw after WrestleMania, he returned to the WWE and many fans expected to see his match against Brock Lesnar.

He has a record of 15-2 in MMA, and with his body physique being considered, we can safely say that he is one of the toughest wrestlers, no one would never try to mess with.

Recently, he turned heel against Kevin Owens and now, many fans are expecting that his booking will only get better from now. He is one of those wrestlers who can provide a great match in the company, but this is only possible when the company will trust and book him as a main event Superstar.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Lesnar lost his WWE Universal Championship at this year's SummerSlam against Roman Reigns, and everyone thought that now he is gone from the company for his next UFC fight. However, he returned to the company at the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view to cost Strowman his match for the Universal Title.

He made his MMA debut in 2007 and had a record of 5-3 (1) during which he also won the UFC Heavyweight Championship from Randy Couture in 2008 and lost it against Cain Velasquez in 2010.

Currently, he is scheduled to face Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman in a triple threat match for the Universal Champion at the upcoming WWE Crown Jewel event. However, it is rumored that this will be his last fight in the WWE before his fight against UFC Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier.
