WWE Gallery: Every WWE Main Roster Star Ranked From Worst To Best

25 - Randy Orton

Still has “it” in selected TV matches - but seems to exist in a dull PPV purgatory in which it’s hard to truly care. Won’t make many fantasy ‘Mania 34 cards, which indicts his performance level, as much as his creative direction.

24 - Xavier Woods

His performance at Hell In A Cell was a tremendous breakthrough for the trombone-playing trios specialist. Many raised their brows when he, not Kofi Kingston, entered the Cell - but he exited it as a genuinely sympathetic babyface.

23 - Big E

Funny, charismatic, athletic (and not just “for a big man”), a big singles push is inevitable. For once, the recipient has earned it.

22 - Kofi Kingston

The “Trust Fall” is brainless, but the man elsewhere is a very intelligent performer, one capable of both amazing athletic feats and sustaining drama throughout long, layered matches.
