10 Most Powerful Wrestlers In WWE Today

New Day's resident massive b*stard has in recent years dedicated more time to the banter than the battle, but his stocky but strong style will undoubtedly earmark him for another singles run should the company ever dare sour on the merch-churning triumvirate.

A key star alongside future developmental graduates Xavier Woods, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in John Cena's 'Hard Nocks' gym vignettes during his rivalry with The Rock, Big E lifted 575lbs in front of his braying muscled buddies, but even those reactions couldn't compare to the ones he now receives weekly from audience members having pancakes thrown in their faces.

Him being a heel musclehead was in fact flawed gimmick number one following his main roster arrival, coming before flag-waving musclehead and babyface musclehead ahead of his grand ascension to resident New Day mic-man and hip-swiveller. For a man with such humongous and obvious power, it's the one thing abut him he's never actually managed to get over. And until WWE finally gamble on him as a singles star yet again, it's not something he'll get the chance to.
