The Attitude Era was one of the most important in pro wrestling as well as WWE, as Vince McMahon and co. pushed the boundaries of pro wrestling and made fantastic shows week after week.

The Era saw the creation of some incredible characters and feuds, and also created megastars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, The Undertaker, and Triple H, to name a few.

The Attitude Era ended way back in 2002, but there are still some Superstars from back in the day that are still in WWE.

Let's take a look at 6 Attitude Era Superstars still in WWE: (the list includes active Superstars, or those that are still on the roster that haven't retired yet).


#6 Triple H

Younger fans will know Triple H as the brains behind NXT, which has grown by leaps and bounds and produces fantastic in-ring action.

But older fans will remember Triple H as one of the most vicious heels in the business and a WWE legend. The Game was in several exciting feuds during the Attitude Era and held several titles during that period.

The fourteen-time World Champion was a part of D-Generation X, which was a hugely popular faction, while also being a part of the McMahon–Helmsley faction.

Triple H may not wrestle as much these days, but still features in 2-3 matches a year, with the last one in 2019 being against Randy Orton at Super ShowDown. He also had a match at WrestleMania 35, when he faced off against Batista.

He also featured in both Saudi Arabia PPVs in 2018, with the second of them coming against other Attitude Era Superstars currently in WWE, The Undertaker and Kane, when he teamed up with Shawn Michaels.

#5 Jeff Hardy and #4 Matt Hardy

Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy have had Hall of Fame careers in the WWE, having made their debut in the mid-90s and still featuring in WWE matches in 2019!

The brothers were part of the Attitude Era and had epic tag team matches with the likes of the Dudley Boyz and Edge & Christian, as the three teams put on scintillating matches and rewrote the meaning of tag team wrestling.

The Hardy Boyz are in their third run in WWE, with Jeff leaving the company in 2003 for the first time and his brother leaving in 2005, only for them to return again later. They again departed the company a few years later, and had a great run in the indie circuit as well as TNA, before returning to WWE in 2017 at WrestleMania 33.

Jeff is currently out of action due to an injury and Matt hasn't featured on WWE television because of that. The brothers could have one more tag team title run in their locker, before they hang up their boots for good.

#3 Big Show

Another important player in the Attitude Era, Big Show joined WWE in 1999, from WCW, and went on to become a part of The Corporation faction. The seven-time world champion was a success in WCW and then WWE, and went on to have a great career in Vince McMahon's company.

He is still a part of WWE despite not featuring much, mostly due to having suffered a few injuries over the last few years.

While speaking to TMZ Sports last year, Show revealed that he signed a new deal with WWE and that he is not looking to retire at the moment: "I signed a new deal last year. I've got a couple of years left. I'm having fun."

His last appearance on WWE television was way back in November 2018, when he and The Bar split up on SmackDown, which was also where he suffered a hamstring injury.

Big Show may not feature much in the coming months as he is set to host a new Netflix show called The Big Show Show.

#2 Kane

Kane is one of the longest-serving Superstars currently signed with WWE, despite being the mayor of Knox County, which he secured in 2018. The Kane character debuted in 1997 as The Undertaker's half-brother, introduced by Paul Bearer.

Kane went on to win the WWF Championship, and had several iconic feuds during the Attitude Era.

During the Attitude Era, The Undertaker and Kane, dubbed as The Brothers of Destruction, won the tag team titles before feuding against each other at the end of the Attitude Era. He then went on to win multiple titles in the WWE.

Kane then switched to politics and became the mayor of Knox County in 2018. Kane wrestled a few times in 2018, with his last appearance coming at Crown Jewel, where he teamed with The Undertaker to face off against Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

Stillrealtous.com later reported that WWE had agreed to donate a fee of $100,000 to a first responders NGO on Mayor Glenn Jacobs' behalf for his appearance at the show.

#1 The Undertaker

Perhaps one of the greatest characters in WWE and pro wrestling history, The Undertaker has been an ever-present fixture in WWE since he debuted way back in 1990.

The Phenom has held numerous titles in WWE as well as one of the most notable winning streaks, when he won at 21 consecutive WrestleMania shows. The Undertaker was a key player during the Attitude Era, first as a part of The Ministry of Darkness, when he feuded with the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin and Kane.

He then changed to the American Bad Ass gimmick where he feuded against the likes of Triple H and Kurt Angle, as well as former The Brothers of Destruction tag team with Kane.

At 54 years of age, The Undertaker still wrestles in WWE, with his last appearance coming at Extreme Rules when he teamed with Roman Reigns to face Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon.
