10 Hardest Working WWE Wrestlers

Who's putting in the hours?

The latest WWE wrestler to incur the wrath of the fans is Brock Lesnar, a man charged with the heinous crime of (allegedly) being a bit on the lazy side.

The evidence for this, to be fair, is pretty compelling. So far, he has seldom appeared on Monday Night Raw in the run-up to his showdown match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34, and has only managed a couple of dark matches featuring Kane and Braun Strowman in the past few weeks.

But the problem here is that determining who is - and, by extension, who isn't - hard-working is fraught with difficulty. We only see what happens in front of the cameras, and not all of the preparatory stuff - not least of all maintaining a Vince McMahon-approved physique - that goes on behind the scenes.

Well, allow us to attack this delicate and complex task with a blunt, nuance-free hammer, as we look at the WWE wrestlers who turn out most frequently for matches. Since that's the criteria by which we're prepared to call Lesnar a layabout, it seems only fair that the reverse be true as well.

Note: these stats will relate to 2017 a) for a full picture of who's doing the most, and b) because we've had one or two injuries since the turn of the year.

10. Sasha Banks/Jason Jordan (tie)

Tied for tenth spot are Sasha Banks - whose status as one of WWE's hardest workers isn't exactly news - and Jason Jordan, the latter of whom endures a fairly rocky relationship with large sections of the fanbase.

At the very least, this should put paid to the perception of him as a performer who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. That Kurt Angle connection is just a storyline - he's actually worked damn hard to get where he is.

His inclusion on this list is perhaps made even more impressive by the fact that he only became a prominent member of the roster midway through 2017 when he was unveiled as the Raw general manager's mystery man. Prior to that, he wasn't really up to much on the main roster.

As for Sasha, she's been a key component in the women's division for the preceding three years, and will likely continue to be - good health permitting - for the next decade. The biggest compliment you can pay her is that it's pretty much unthinkable that she could ever "phone it in".
