10 Best WWE Workers Since 2010
Six years into the decade, who is the real king or queen of wrestling?
We still have a few years left before the 2010s are over, but we have possibly already seen more classic matches in WWE over these past six years than in any decade in the company's history.
This is due, in part, to there simply being more content than ever before. But there has also been a large philosophical change on what type of wrestlers management are willing to push. Workrate has never been so highly appreciated in WWE, which means instead of Hulk Hogan vs. King Kong Bundy-type matches, we get Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and Kevin Owens in the main event scene.
With so much stellar talent in the company since 2010, it’s a bit difficult to settle who has consistently delivered the most in the ring. We'll try to figure it out, though. For this list we’re ranking based on how reliable a wrestler has been in the ring, as well as how many classics they've produced during that time. However, only their work in WWE counts. No New Japan or TNA or ROH is taken into consideration here.
And while someone like Shawn Michaels may rank No. 1 on the all-time workers list in WWE, he only made it four months into 2010 before retiring. And by the time we reach 2020, it’s likely Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe and a handful of the incoming Cruiserweights will be in contention for best of the decade, but for now, it’s hard to add them in yet when their work is rather limited.
While there’s still plenty of time left to settle the best of the best this decade, let’s take a brief pause and look back as we countdown WWE’s best workers since 2010.
