10 Toughest WWE Superstars Of The 21st Century

10. Jason Jordan

At 6'3" and 245lbs, Jason Jordan narrowly edges out Dolph Ziggler, Shelton Benjamin, and Chad Gable for the #10 spot on our list. But it's not just genetics that are on his side; Jordan has skill to back up his size and his long list of previous accomplishments prove just that.

A three sport athlete in high school, Jordan opted against baseball and football to pursue wrestling. He would go on to become a star of the mat at Indiana University and even find himself ranked as the second best heavyweight in the United States.

Much like Angle, he would test his own toughness by wrestling larger opponents, competing in the 285lbs weight class despite weighing 225lbs. Jordan would go undefeated in his senior year with a record of 35-0. So impressive were his accolades at Indiana University that it even earned him a mural on the wall of the campus gym.

In the WWE, Jordan has taken no shortcuts on his journey to the top. From jobber to Tag Champ in NXT, Jordan has worked tirelessly to hone his craft and showed a great degree of mental toughness since his first match way back in 2011. The "Angle son" storyline, while ludicrous, is a promotion nonetheless. Let's hope Angle's influence can help bring out the badass in Jordan on Raw.
