Heath Slater: Bio

Heath Slater: Bio

Fueled by a mouth that never stops running and arrogance as scorching as the shock of red hair on his head, Heath Slater certainly lives up to his self-imposed moniker, “The One-Man Band.”

Hailing from West Virginia, Slater first exploded onto the WWE scene as a Rookie on WWE NXT’s inaugural season. Right out of the gate, Slater made an impact becoming the first-ever NXT Rookie to defeat a WWE Pro in a singles match. From there, he joined The Nexus in its hostile takeover of WWE and, like all good rockers before him, refused to stay painted into a single corner.

Instead, Slater went where the music took him, baby, collaborating with the likes of 3MB and Titus O’Neil to stay a steady presence in WWE’s tag team division, while also making it a point to take on any Legends that came across his path. He even tagged up with Rhyno to become one-half of the first-ever SmackDown Tag Team Champions while earning a SmackDown LIVE contract in the process.

WWE Universe: Slater is still rockin’ out, and all it takes is just one hit.

Gran Metalik: Bio

Gran Metalik: Bio

With over a decade of experience in the ring, Gran Metalik has competed and prevailed all over the globe, including New Japan Pro Wrestling and Mexico’s CMLL. Having competed against some of NXT’s elite, including Finn Bálor and Shinsuke Nakamura, Metalik is no stranger to the spotlight or a big fight feel.

Metalik is known for his thrilling maneuvers, including the Corkscrew Somersault Senton Bomb and the Springboard Dragonrana and his mastery of springboard-based maneuvers earned him the nickname "El Rey de las Cuerdas" - The King of the Ropes. Metalik is not afraid to take chances and will unquestionably bring a high level of risk to Monday nights as a part of Raw's Cruiserweight division.

Goldust: Bio

Goldust: Bio

Beneath the platinum blond wig, sleek latex and gobs of gold face paint is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes. Good luck trying to understand him, though. Goldust is a twisted enigma wrapped in a package of many surprises — or, as some of his past rivals probably would describe him, "a sick freak."

The WWE Universe has been taken on a long, fascinating trip since The Bizarre One first strutted his bedazzled stuff in 1995. With an envelope-pushing style that predated the scandalous Attitude Era, Goldust instantly became a Superstar to watch and an oddity to fear. When the cameras were rolling on him, you got the sense anything could happen.

After winning his debut match against Marty Jannetty at In Your House in ’95, he soon turned his attention to a polar opposite, a greased slice of oozing machismo known as Razor Ramon. Seemingly at will, as would be the norm with "The Prince of Perversion," he prodded and manipulated Razor's mind like a chunk of Silly Putty. Capitalizing on his unusual tactics, Goldust defeated "The Bad Guy" at WWE Royal Rumble 1996 to win the Intercontinental Championship. It wasn't just his first WWE title, but also the first for his brand new "director," the cigar-smoking seductress Marlena.

While The Bizarre One began to flit in and out of WWE for the better part of the 2000s, the bonds of family eventually brought Goldust back home in 2013. It was then he formed an alliance with his brother Cody Rhodes, under the guidance of “The American Dream” himself before aiding Cody’s transformation into Stardust. Ever since then, the WWE Universe has come to know — sometimes at their peril — the dangerous decadence of the man in gold. And it’s safe to say that they, like the rest of us, will truly never forget his name.

Finn Bálor: Bio

Finn Bálor: Bio

Meet Finn Bálor: Athletic, charismatic, occasionally demonic, and a bonafide worldwide sensation.

The WWE Universe may know Bálor for his exploits in NXT or his first-round status in the 2016 WWE Brand Extension Draft, but the mysterious Irishman’s legend spanned across countries and continents long before he ever stepped onto the WWE stage. After competing in his first match at 18 and achieving success in his homeland, Bálor relocated to Japan to hone his skills in the notorious dojo system of the Far East. Unsurprisingly, he thrived, winning multiple championships and marshalling several foot soldiers to support him (some even called him a prince). With The Land of the Rising Sun annexed to the Bálor Club, he relocated to America to ply his trade in NXT.

Choosing to honor his heritage by taking the names of two Irish myths — the warrior Finn MacCumhail and the Fomorian king Bálor — the dynamic Superstar quickly rose in the ranks of NXT, achieving a record-setting run with the NXT Championship as well as becoming one of the first winners of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic along with Samoa Joe.

The combination of his quiet, deadly precision and his periodic transformation into the terrifying "Demon King" made Bálor one of the hottest WWE commodities in over a decade, so it came as little surprise when he was the first NXT graduate to be taken in the 2016 WWE Brand Extension Draft, going fifth overall to Raw. 

Then, at SummerSlam 2016, Finn Bálor reached his greatest achievement to date when he pinned Seth Rollins to become the first-ever WWE Universal Champion.

Eva Marie: Bio

Eva Marie: Bio

It may have been Eva Marie’s bright crimson locks that first drew the WWE Universe to her attention, but it's her viciousness is what people will be talking about when all is said and done.

A former model that traded in the runway for the wrestling ring, Eva Marie’s journey through the ranks of WWE’s Divas division was first chronicled on the hit E! reality series, “Total Divas.”  There, she navigated personal and professional obstacles in an attempt to become the division’s face. When she did finally make it to the big time, Eva Marie made an immediate impact, slapping Jerry “The King” Lawler across the face in her first appearance on Raw.

This red-headed wonder hasn’t stopped for a single second since that day, and she hasn’t cared who she polarizes in the process. Stirring up controversy on “Total Divas” didn’t even stop her from training independently with former WWE Tag Team Champion “The” Brian Kendrick for a career-altering run down in WWE NXT that is just beginning to bear fruit. Career-altering, that is, both for her and anyone who thinks this red-headed runway vet is anything resembling a pushover.

Women of the world, take note: The All Red Everything movement has begun.

Erick Rowan: Bio

Erick Rowan: Bio

Don’t let the sheep mask fool you: “Gentle” is not in Erick Rowan’s vocabulary.

Despite the dirty woolen façade this bearded brawler wears to the ring, Rowan bears far more similarities to a beast than Bambi. As a member of Bray Wyatt’s Wyatt Family, Rowan initially supplied both muscle and intimidation throughout The New Face of Fear’s quest to conquer WWE, teaming with fellow family member Luke Harper in the process.

Rowan, whose quiet strength has been tested as both a member and adversary of The Wyatt Family, has proven to be a formidable foe for anyone who crosses his path. With the ability to deliver a devastating roundhouse kick one second followed by a top-rope splash the next, this monstrous Superstar is one of WWE’s most intimidating and athletic big men.

Epico: Bio

Epico: Bio

A member of the storied Colón wrestling dynasty, Epico and his cousin Primo, also known as The Shining Stars, are world-traveled ring veterans who never met a town they didn’t think paled in comparison to their native home of Puerto Rico. In short, the cousins had only one goal in mind: To turn WWE into an extension of their home, by force if necessary.

And make no mistake, despite their easygoing mannerisms, The Shining Stars are about as far from wilting flowers as a tag team can get. Primo & Epico are more than capable of dishing out a beat down that’s as fine as their world-class cuisine. Epico in particular showed his status as an innovator, busting out a trifecta of suplexes he calls the “Tripleta” and aiding Primo in devastating their opponents with their signature Shining Star finishing maneuver.

With the world laid before them and the culture of their homeland in their hearts, The Shining Stars are on a mission to turn the ring into their own personal Island of Enchantment. As for their opponents? Well, they won’t be so lucky.

Enzo Amore: Bio

Enzo Amore: Bio

This is Enzo Amore. He is a certified G and a bona fide stud and you can’t teach that. His partner, Big Cass, is seven feet tall, and you can’t teach that. Together, they’re the realest guys in the room, and they’re here to shake up the tag team division and relieve it of haters, hangers-on and above all, “sawft”-ness.

The more agile of the two, the New Jersey-bred Amore is also the resident talker of his tag team, as efficient with his quips as he is with his fists — some would say more so. If the sticks and stones of Cass break your bones, Enzo’s words are what keep you down, a dizzying pitter-patter of slang and arrows that has already reduced some of the toughest Superstars in both WWE and NXT to twitching piles of mush. And he’s got the goods in the ring, too, using his quick-strike jabbing style to soften opponents up for the exclamation point his seven-foot partner presents.

Where these Tri-State boys go from here is anyone’s guess, but don’t be surprised if the answer to their ubiquitous “how you doin’?” involves the WWE Tag Team Championship and a whole lot of smoked jamokes laying in their wake.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: Bio

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: Bio

He has been dubbed The Great One, The People’s Champion and The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment.Mere words fail to capture the essence of the most charismatic Superstar of all time, though the catchphrase “boots to asses” comes awfully close. 

The first third-generation Superstar in WWE history, the man born Dwayne Johnson was destined for sports-entertainment immortality since birth, but his rise to the status of a pop culture icon was harder to predict. In the time since he made his debut as a grinning good guy at the 1996 Survivor Series, The Brahma Bull has won eight WWE Championships, headlined WrestleMania, hosted “Saturday Night Live,” written a New York Times bestselling autobiography, top-billed the popular HBO series “Ballers,” and starred in films like “Fast Five” and “The Game Plan,” which have grossed literally billions of dollars.Tthe amazing thing is, he’s just getting started.

Son of WWE Hall of Famer Rocky Johnson, the University of Miami football standout showed promise early when he won the Intercontinental Championship within months of first setting foot in the ring. From there, The Rock’s momentum never slowed as he laid the smackdown on “Attitude Era” rivals like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Triple H while spouting off endless catchphrases that immediately became part of national conversation. With one eyebrow cocked, The People’s Champion would warn jabronis to “Know your role and shut your mouth” or “Just bring it!” before delivering his devastating finishing maneuver, The Rock Bottom, on the way to victory.

The 6-foot-5 competitor was soon fielding offers to star in films like “The Scorpion King” and “Gridiron Gang” thanks to the endless charisma and appeal he exuded in the squared circle. Despite a record-setting Hollywood career that included roles in the “Fast & Furious” franchises as well as “Pain & Gain,” “Hercules” and “San Andreas,” The Rock still returned to the ring against John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania XXVIII, won the WWE Championship from CM Punk in 2013 and defended it against Cena once again at WrestleMania 29 — all while proving to WWE’s newest generation of fans what their elders already knew: That he truly is The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment. If ya smellllllll …

Dolph Ziggler: Bio

Dolph Ziggler: Bio

Can it be? Can it be that Dolph Ziggler really is that damn good, the best in the business and the man who steals the show every single Tuesday night — and your girlfriend too?

You better believe it, brother.

Dolph Ziggler is the kind of Superstar that makes women swoon and men wonder what they ever did to the universe that they didn’t get the gifts he has. A record-setting collegiate athlete who set his sights on WWE and didn’t stop until he got there, Ziggler’s journeyman path to the top is completely at odds with the skill he used to navigate it. Initially cast in go-nowhere roles as a caddy and a cheerleader, Dolph finally found his calling as, quite simply, the guy who was the most talented Superstar on the card and didn’t mind crowing about it when the time was right.

You’d think that a person like that would rub the WWE Universe the wrong way, right? Well, you’d be wrong. Despite his penchant for irony, Ziggler found himself squarely in the favor of the fans week in and week out, who helped power him through the glass ceiling and into the championship picture, racking up World Heavyweight, Intercontinental and United States Championship reigns along the way, as well as two appearances as the Sole Survivor of a Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match. And since the WWE Brand Extension, The Showoff has made it his personal mission on SmackDown LIVE to prove he still has what it takes to be the best.  

Oh, and Ziggler also does stand-up comedy. It really is unfair. To the rest of us, at least. To him, it’s no big deal.

Dean Ambrose: Bio

Dean Ambrose: Bio

Dean Ambrose is a dangerous man.

The Cincinnati scrapper began his path to WWE with a fearless career on the independent scene where he earned a reputation for his ability to absorb and to distribute punishment in equal measure. Through his years toiling away in obscurity, Ambrose competed in some of the most vicious environments imaginable, sacrificing his body and blood in the pursuit of inflicting as much damage on his opponent as humanly possible. Victory was incidental. What mattered to Ambrose was always his message: No one is safe.

If you thought the PG-friendly environment of WWE would be enough to contain The Lunatic Fringe, Ambrose’s brutal debut as one-third of The Shield certainly put that notion to rest in a hurry. As did his record-setting reign as U.S. Champion while he was one of the brothers in black.

After The Hounds of Justice imploded, Ambrose has gone to war against the likes of Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt, AJ Styles and John Cena with all the intensity and lack of self-preservation instincts you’d find in a rabid animal. This unpredictable nature proved virtually unstoppable and allowed Ambrose to capture the Money in the Bank briefcase and the WWE World Heavyweight Title in one night at WWE Money in the Bank 2016.

Crazy stuff, right? Well, with the WWE Universe fully latched onto his mad machinations and The Lunatic Fringe running wild all over SmackDown LIVE, one thing is for sure. The Ambrose Asylum is only going to get crazier.

Daniel Bryan: Bio

Daniel Bryan: Bio

They say that some men are destined for greatness, but there is an argument to be made that Daniel Bryan is one of the few who was literally chosen for it.

Chosen not by the WWE decision-makers who hired him off the recommendation of Bryan’s mentors, Shawn Michaels and William Regal, or even by the mass-marketing machine that has helped elevate stars into Superstars since the dawn of sports-entertainment. No, Daniel Bryan was quite literally chosen by the people.

It was the WWE Universe who saw something special in the 5-foot-10 bearded bulldog, powering him from a one-and-done NXT Rookie to a scrappy U.S. Champion, a Money in the Bank winner-turned cocky World Heavyweight Champion and one-half of the dysfunctional Team Hell No alongside Kane. It was the WWE Universe who took Bryan’s signature “YES!” chant — initially an ironic display of unearned arrogance — and transformed it into a rallying cry, screaming it in unison every time they sensed Bryan was being passed over for someone less deserving.

And it was the WWE Universe who propelled the world-traveled independent veteran to the greatest upset in WrestleMania history when Bryan, after nearly a year of battling the powers that be, defeated Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista in the same night to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Bryan’s legacy since then has, unfortunately, been more complicated than his beloved “Yes!” Movement would prefer: A slew of injuries forced him to vacate the WWE World Heavyweight Title and, later, the Intercontinental Championship he won upon his return in 2015. Ultimately, Bryan formally announced his retirement from in-ring competition, citing the cumulated effects of several concussions he'd sustained over his career.

In his final message to the WWE Universe, The Beard proclaimed himself "grateful" for the gifts sports-entertainment had given him before departing amid a chorus of "Yes!" chants.

Despite the heartfelt goodbye, the "Yes!" Movement couldn't keep Bryan away for long. He returned the night before the 2016 WWE Brand Extension Draft as Shane McMahon's choice for SmackDown Live General Manager. For a Superstar who overcame so much to find great success as an in-ring competitor, there's nothing stopping him from taking SmackDown Live to new heights every Tuesday.

Chris Jericho: Bio

Chris Jericho: Bio

There is one thing you can say about Chris Jericho — the guy knows how to make an entrance.

During summer 1999, the WWE Universe spent weeks wondering about a millennium clock that counted down on Raw. They got their answer on Aug. 9, when the clock struck zero and Y2J appeared. Audaciously interrupting The Rock, the confident new competitor immediately announced himself as a Superstar who wasn’t afraid to make a statement.

Son of former NHL standout Ted Irvine, Jericho was born in Manhasset, N.Y., but raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. A wrestling fan from an early age, he trained at the Hart Brothers School of Wrestling and made his ring debut when he was only 19. Starting out in the frigid armories of Canada, Jericho went on to perform across the globe in places like Mexico and Japan, infusing different international styles into his repertoire along the way.

After reaching new prominence in ECW, Jericho hit WCW in 1996, winning multiple championships with an expanding legion of loyal “Jerichoholics” in his corner. Growing frustrated with the locker room politicking that plagued the company, he sensed a brighter future in WWE, and broke the walls down on Raw with his thrilling arrival in 1999.

Where some people would crack under the weight of such a hyped debut, Jericho reveled in it. In the years that followed, The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla grabbed a record nine Intercontinental Titles, seven WWE and World Tag Team Titles, and multiple Slammy Awards, all while using his controversial show “The Highlight Reel” to drive his numerous adversaries absolutely bananas. The crown jewel of his impressive six World Title reigns came on Dec. 9, 2001 at Vengeance, when he beat The Rock for the WCW World Heavyweight Title and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin for the WWE Championship to earn the distinction of becoming WWE’s first Undisputed Champion.

Jericho has left and returned to WWE on several occasions. During his various hiatuses, he has pursued acting, toured with his heavy metal band Fozzy and penned several books about his remarkable career, but he’s always found his way home to show the Universe that he’s still got life left in the tank.

With the heart of a lion, the voice of a rocker and the will of a champion, Chris Jericho will always be there to break down walls, barriers and opponents in equal measure.

Charlotte Flair: Bio

Charlotte Flair: Bio

She may not fly jets or ride limousines, but Charlotte Flair — daughter of 16-time World Champion Ric Flair — may be destined for greatness. Though a latecomer to the industry her father helped revolutionize, Charlotte has made a name for herself in WWE in very short order.

Displaying a level of athleticism that few Superstars in history can match, Charlotte first captured the attention of the NXT Universe with the type of statement victory that’s rarely been seen before or since. With her father watching on, Charlotte defeated Natalya at NXT TakeOver to win an eight-woman tournament on May 29, 2014, becoming the new NXT Women's Champion in the process. In the months that followed, the self-proclaimed “genetically superior athlete” turned back one challenger after another, helping cement the women’s division as one of the most competitive in all of sports-entertainment.

Soon, Charlotte finally made her long-awaited debut as a full-time Superstar in WWE, shocking the world when she joined forces with Paige and Becky Lynch in a stable known as PCB. Pit against rival forces like Team Bella and Team B.A.D., PCB helped usher in a genuine revolution in WWE, with Charlotte herself as the first of the new arrivals to win the Divas Title and the first athlete to win the WWE Women's Championship.

More challengers are bound to surface; they always do. Yet come what may, Charlotte Flair is bound to continue competing the only way she knows how … with flair!

Chad Gable: Bio

Chad Gable: Bio

Chad Gable exudes the competitiveness, intensity and confidence of an Olympic athlete for good reason: He was one.

Hailing from Minnesota, a state rich in wrestling history, Gable has been a master of the mat since his youth. A former state champion in high school, he reached the pinnacle of amateur grappling in 2012, claiming victory in the U.S. Olympic Trials and earning the right to compete at the London Olympics that summer. Once the Summer Games passed, Gable turned his focus to sports-entertainment, signing on to train at the WWE Performance Center.

It wasn’t long before Gable’s prodigious skill inside the ring propelled him to Superstardom in NXT, where the savant of suplexes found his greatest success teaming with fellow amateur standout Jason Jordan. Known as American Alpha, the duo ignited NXT’s Tag Team division and won over the NXT Universe before being drafted to SmackDown Live in 2016.

Between Gable’s technical prowess and silky-smooth attack, and Jordan’s explosive power and athleticism, American Alpha are destined to become one of the most formidable combinations in the history of the blue brand.

There is no doubt that Chad Gable stands ready, willing and “Gable” to make his impact felt.

Cesaro: Bio

Cesaro: Bio

If you hear sirens, seek shelter, because Cesaro’s on his way.

A onetime European rugby star who was banned from league play due to excessive aggression, Cesaro applied his mercilessness in the ring, honing his skills not just in Europe but around the entire world. Upon landing in the United States, he developed a cult following exhibiting his vicious skills in tag team and singles competition alike.

This brutally innovative grappler is not all brawn, however. The cultured Cesaro speaks five languages, allowing him to adapt to his surroundings while traveling the globe en route to WWE. Upon his arrival to WWE in 2012, Cesaro immediately backed up his multilingual smack talk, winning the United States Title and eventually settling in as one half of Zeb Colter’s powerhouse “Real Americans” tag team alongside Jack Swagger.


Though it was under Colter that Cesaro made history by winning the first-ever Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 30, it was only after leaving Zeb behind that he truly came into his own. Since then, The Swiss Superman has grown in both strength and stature, using his inhuman stamina to take Superstars like John Cena to the limit while forging a near-unstoppable tag team with Tyson Kidd that landed the duo a WWE Tag Team Title reign less than three months after their first match together.

A hybrid brawler who improves and amazes every single time he steps into the ring, there’s still no telling how far The King of Swing will go. Better just to watch and be amazed.

Brock Lesnar: Bio

Brock Lesnar: Bio

Glory to The Conqueror, The Beast Incarnate, The Anomaly or whatever godlike title you choose to bestow upon Brock Lesnar. Surely, this creature fits each and every one of them.

Possessing the type of staggering strength and scary intensity seen only among Superman villains, this 6-foot-3, 266-pound freak of nature from Minneapolis, Minn., has forced his way to the top of every major combat sport. He won the NCAA Division I collegiate wrestling championship as a senior at the University of Minnesota, the WWE Championship within six months of his debut and the UFC Heavyweight Title in his fourth professional MMA fight. He’s also The One in 22-1. Plain and simple, the man was built to destroy.

First scouted by WWE officials while smashing his way through the college wrestling ranks, Lesnar debuted on Raw March 18, 2002, and singlehandedly destroyed a ring full of unfortunate Superstars. From that night on, the domination was unrepentant. With the sinister Paul Heyman guiding his career, “The Next Big Thing” won the King of the Ring tournament and beat The Rock to win the WWE Title — becoming the youngest WWE Champion in history at that time, and the fastest rising star sports-entertainment had ever seen.


The freight-train momentum of Lesnar didn’t even stall one bit after a layoff of nearly 10 years; when The Beast’s sojourn in UFC ended, he returned to WWE in 2012 firing on all cylinders, battling the very best WWE has to offer and achieving the impossible at WrestleMania 30: Becoming the first (and only) Superstar to defeat The Undertaker on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Lesnar returned to UFC to fight Mark Hunt at UFC 200, defeating the heavyweight by decision, then followed up with a TKO victory against Randy Orton at SummerSlam.

As if the pure ability of Lesnar isn’t enough to make him the most imposing Superstar in WWE history, the presence of Paul Heyman singing his praises (sometimes literally) builds the myth of The Beast Incarnate even as he writes it. Perhaps, to you, Heyman’s orations are exaggerated. But the results speak for themselves. His client, Brock Lesnar, conquered The Streak. And John Cena. And Triple H. And many, many more to come.

Brian Kendrick: Bio

Brian Kendrick: Bio

Few Superstars have more at stake in Raw’s Cruiserweight division than Brian Kendrick.

A gifted wrestler and high-flyer, Kendrick started working to make it in sports-entertainment when he enrolled in the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy in summer 1999 and toiled in the trenches, a process that pushed the technical dynamo to his last nerve and, potentially, last chance.

The smallest trainee at HBK's school but also among its most talented (Daniel Bryan was a fellow student), Kendrick traveled the world, competing in Mexico and Japan, where size isn't necessarily as important as it is in the States. After wrestling under a mask, coming up short against Kurt Angle and taking part in several demeaning stunts, like streaking through the arena delivering a singing telegram to The Undertaker, he joined WWE’s main roster in 2003 under the name Spanky after defeating Shannon Moore.

Feeling he needed a little more seasoning, he put his WWE dreams on hold to hone his skills. After spending a year and a half competing around the world, Kendrick returned to WWE in 2005 and teamed up with fellow HBK trainee Paul London. The duo dazzled the WWE Universe with their aerial acumen, quickly making their way into the WWE Tag Team Title picture. Kendrick & London defeated MNM for the titles at Judgment Day 2006 and held them for 331 days, a record that stands to this day.

Following a lengthy hiatus from WWE, Kendrick reentered the fold by training Eva Marie, competing in WWE NXT and, eventually, entering the Cruiserweight Classic in what he believed was his final chance to cement his legacy. Though Kendrick came up short, he was still signed to the Cruiserweight division on Raw and quickly proved himself a force to be reckoned with in the rebooted field. The lesson, as always: Experience wins out.

Bray Wyatt: Bio

Bray Wyatt: Bio

The Superstar known as Bray Wyatt seems to have stepped out of the collective population’s nightmares and into our reality. A man shrouded in mystique, he has made it his mission to bring his macabre vision to WWE.

No matter how cryptic his message might be to the WWE Universe on a given day, The New Face of Fear has made it clear that he aims to lead his flock in search of some sort of a higher purpose. And from the moment The Eater of Worlds set foot in WWE, he and his followers would not disappoint, exuding an eerie and dangerous presence as they offered a very succinct message to all opposition: “Run!”

In the course of his dark mission, The Man of 1,000 Truths has engaged a slew of Superstars in battle, including Kane, John Cena and The Undertaker himself, leaving a lasting impression on any who dared to cross his path. Where will the scourge of Bray Wyatt take him next? Only the buzzards know for sure.

Braun Strowman: Bio

Braun Strowman: Bio

With his towering frame and intimidating aura, the monstrous Braun Strowman strikes fear into his opponents with his presence alone.

Introduced to the WWE Universe as the most frightening element of the fearsome Wyatt Family, Bray Wyatt dubbed Strowman “The New Face of Destruction” and the “Black Sheep” of Sister Abigail. A man of few words, Strowman’s fright factor is only increased while sporting a black sheep mask.

The haunting Superstar is an absolute wrecking ball, annihilating any and all that cross his path. Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, and even The Undertaker himself have fallen at his feet, cementing Strowman as the most imposing behemoth of his generation.

Big Show: Bio

Big Show: Bio

Reminiscent of such goliaths as Andre the Giant and Big John Studd, Big Show is a feared competitor who will intimidate opponents with his size and stare alone. The World’s Largest Athlete’s measurements are astounding. He weighs 441 pounds, stands a mighty 7 feet tall, wears a 22 EEEEE size shoe and boasts a 64-inch chest. It’s no surprise, then, that his in-ring debut in 1995 left a crater-sized impression in WCW after he defeated Hulk Hogan for the WCW World Championship.

From the moment he stomped into WWE in 1999, the colossal presence began to rip through the competition to amass a giant collection of titles, including the WWE Championship.

With accolades that stretch as far as his gigantic reach, Big Show is one of the most decorated and feared Superstars to ever step foot inside the squared circle – not only the first Superstar to capture the WWE, WCW and ECW Championships, but also winner of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 31.

Still knocking heads more than two decades after his in-ring debut, Big Show remains a monstrous threat. Best of luck to anyone who crosses his path.

Big E: Bio

Big E: Bio

The word “Big” almost feels like an understatement when talking about Big E, but how else do you describe a 290-pound tank of a man who can deadlift a Fiat? “Superhuman” comes to mind, as does “Herculean.” “Big,” though, leaves no question about the type of carnage this beast will bring to WWE.

How did Big E become one of the most physically intimidating men on the planet? Leaving an ocean of sweat in the weight room helped, but the sobering fact is that some people are just born special. He was always the strongest kid in class — an advantage he used to win state championships in high school wrestling and punish quarterbacks on the defensive line for the University of Iowa.

By the time he was 24, Big E was already shattering state and national powerlifting records as he threw around numbers not witnessed since the days when Mark Henry was active in the sport — 806-pound deadlifts; 575 pounds on the bench. Had squats been a national pastime
,there’s a chance the WWE Universe would never have witnessed the phenomenon that is Big E.

The powerhouse’s dominance continued once he found his way into a WWE ring, as he immediately allied himself with Dolph Ziggler and AJ Lee right around the same time he won the NXT Championship. An Intercontinental Championship victory over Curtis Axel and multiple WWE Tag Team Championships with The New Day — including the longest reign in the history of the titles — followed soon after, but surely that’s just the beginning of Big E’s legacy in WWE: He’s literally too big to fail.

Big Cass: Bio

Big Cass: Bio

This right here is Big Cass. He’s seven feet tall, and you can’t teach that. His partner, Enzo Amore, is a certified G and a bona fide stud, and you can’t teach that either. Together, they’re the realest guys in the room, and if Enzo’s brutalizing jargon doesn’t get you, Queens-born Cass’ bulldozing offense will.

Enzo & Cass are what you’d get if David and Goliath ran into each other at the Jersey Shore and decided to become a tag team, with the towering Cass filling the role of the duo’s resident juggernaut. He’s a man of decidedly few words — though it might just be comparatively less than Enzo — but he lets his fists and boots do all the talking, or shutting up, that needs to be done.

Anything but “sawft," Big Cass’ future is as bright as the Manhattan skyline and wide as the Queensboro Bridge … not that anyone needs him to spell that out.

Becky Lynch: Bio

Becky Lynch: Bio

A fiery redhead from Dublin, Ireland, Becky Lynch is ready to fight anyone in her path. Trained for the squared circle at the age of 15, Lynch travelled the world perfecting her craft before joining NXT in 2014.

While proving she could hold her own in the squared circle, Becky forged various friendships during her time at NXT, including one with Bayley and another with Sasha Banks as part of Team B.A.E. (Best at Everything). Eventually, Becky shocked the WWE Universe when she joined WWE’s roster as part of the “Divas Revolution” – a member of Team P.C.B. (with Charlotte and Paige). Paige soon broke off from her friends, but Becky continued to be a star on the rise, culminating in her crowning as the first-ever SmackDown Women's Champion at Backlash 2016.

Overall, one thing is certain: Where there are lasses to be kicked and arms to be snapped, you’ll find Becky Lynch.

Bayley: Bio

Bayley: Bio

Long before she was a Raw Superstar, Bayley was a 10-year-old superfan in San Jose, Calif., watching her favorites like Lita and Eddie Guerrero on TV. So she decided then that she wanted to inspire fans the same way the Superstars of the ’90s and early ’00s did for her.

When she turned 18, Bayley started to train for the squared circle, and in 2012, after learning the ropes on the indies, she joined NXT’s burgeoning Women’s division. But she didn’t mirror Charlotte’s confidence, Sasha Banks’ swagger or Becky Lynch’s toughness. Instead, Bayley had an ever-present smile and an overwhelming enthusiasm that made it impossible to root against her.

She quickly inspired young ladies to wear side ponytails and grown men to embrace hugs, all while changing Women’s wrestling forever. In 2015, she competed in the first 30-minute WWE Iron Man Match featuring two female competitors, defeating Banks to become NXT Women’s Champion and setting a new standard for the Women’s divisions in both NXT and WWE. She then went on to have classic showdowns against Asuka and Nia Jax before debuting on Raw on the night after SummerSlam 2016, in the same arena as her greatest victory.

When Bayley steps through the ropes, her opponents can be sure of two things: Bayley’s gonna hug you, then she’s gonna suplex you.

Baron Corbin: Bio

Accompanied to the ring by the roaring of a Harley, Baron Corbin is clearly no angel. And while it may be a stretch to say he’s from hell, you can forgive his opponents for thinking the self-proclaimed “Lone Wolf” has sent them there once he gets rolling.

A former NFL player whose aggression got him booted from the game, Corbin found the perfect outlet for his rage in WWE, and the perfect target for it in, well, anyone and everyone who crossed his path. Less a Superstar than a force of nature, Corbin made his mark on The Grandest Stage of Them All when he eliminated Kane from the third annual Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal to stake his claim as the legendary giant’s heir apparent.

He hasn’t stopped since then, wrecking any Superstar who either faces him willingly (Dolph Ziggler) or unintentionally (Zack Ryder). Corbin likes to proclaim that he spells the End of Days for anyone who dares to fight him. At the end of the day, that might just land him the WWE World Championship.

Apollo Crews: Bio

Apollo Crews: Bio

Naming yourself after the Greek god Apollo sets one hell of a bar, but it’s fair to say Apollo Crews may well clear it when all is said and done.

Possessed of an Olympian physique and agility, the hulking Crews combines the raw power of The Ultimate Warrior with the agility of  a top cruiserweight, confounding opponents with a ground-and-pound game and dizzying aerial attack. He was already the proverbial five-tool player when he went from the independent scene to WWE NXT, and his astounding record at Full Sail sent the Georgia native to the main WWE roster within a year of his debut.

His star has only continued to rise, and the WWE Universe will soon understand what the rest of the world already knew: That Apollo Crews’ potential knows no limits, and it’s only a matter of time before he rests on the Mount Olympus of sports-entertainment.
