10 Most Powerful Wrestlers In WWE Today

3. Bobby Lashley

The Big Show Braun Strowman

It's hard at this juncture to work out exactly what WWE hoped to achieve from re-signing and re-pushing former ECW Champion and McMahon pet project Bobby Lashley a decade removed from an acrimonious severance between the two sides during a monster push for the ginormous star.

His ring work has improved exponentially thanks to welcome runs away from the WWE machine in that time, but outside of a physique that wows even now, there's little else he offers in comparison to Raw's regular monsters Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. Weirder still then, that he's been partnered up with with 'The Monster Among Men' and 'The Big Dog' almost immediately into his second life as a Superstar, with a Lesnar clash considered a certainty in his near future too.

His incredible strength is nonetheless hugely impressive. The delayed suplex he's added to his repertoire since returning to WWE is his single best weapon as a powerful super-heavyweight. Not only does it behove him to physically discredit other stars with such ease - it also allows time for the audience to fall in love with his immense strength - a trait they'll otherwise find too easily elsewhere.
