25 Most Important WWE Stars Of The 21st Century So Far

22. Christian

Very similar to Jeff Hardy, Christian's successful tag career managed to seamlessly transfer into the singles division, and his success alone sees him earn a spot on this list. When he and Edge split, the latter was quickly thrust into the big time in the WWE, and Christian almost had to do it the tough way. However, he knew how to work a crowd, and remained as popular as ever from the days of Edge and Christian. Multiple reigns as World Heavyweight Champion signify just how highly the WWE held him in regard at the time, and he certainly had a big say in the transition out of the hugely popular Attitude Era. His success makes him a very important star when looking back at the last 14 years of wrestling, and with him still an active member of the WWE roster, you feel Christian could still have one more match left in him.
