20 Absolute Best Wrestlers In The World Right Now

18. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar's push steamrolls other wrestlers like the man himself does between the ropes. His push is detrimental to the roster because WWE presents him (and Roman Reigns) on a level above everyone else, to the extent that talented maybe-stars become inferior by comparison. Seth Rollins, Riddle, AJ Styles, and Austin Theory were all bulldozed at Elimination Chamber 2022 because Lesnar vs. Reigns is WWE's money match. Everything else is kindling on its bonfire.

But as damaging as the Brock push can be to those pulled into its orbit, Lesnar, himself, is killing it at the moment.

The Elimination Chamber rampage was detrimental to Theory and co. but still an incredibly compelling five minutes. There's nothing like the Brock Lesnar bull-rush. When this big, scary, hyper-athletic beast busts out of his cage and starts wrecking people, the thrill is unique. No one else in the sport can replicate this.

Now delivering some of the best character work of his career as a cardigan-clad cowboy, Lesnar has looked great in all of his recent in-ring outings and maintains his megastar aura without a mouthpiece. He is special. He is box office. And yes, it'd be nice if those around didn't suffer so, but Brock is as potent as he has ever been.
