Last Updated on March 8, 2024 by Avik Das

While professional wrestling might be pre-determined, the importance of a character is evaluated through their push in the squared circle. A majority of the top WWE stars have domineering personalities with a record of backing it up in the ring, meaning they not only win a preponderance of their encounters in the ring but also dominate their rivals for the most part.

WWE’s legacy and long history of decades have produced some mega stars who are also some dominant WWE Superstars of all time. The winning records, title triumphs, and longevity as a main eventer are some attributes of deciding who would make this list.

#10 Gunther

Some people might disagree with putting Gunther on this list, but his run as the indomitable run as longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion would place him among the top ten dominant WWE wrestlers ever. The Ring General is remorseless to his rivals and a detestable heel, making him a big star of the current generation. In nearly two years of his main roster career, Gunther is yet to be pinned. Even though he has not been unbeaten since the debut, his sole loss was against Chad Gable by count out. His performances in the previous Royal Rumble matches were also mind-boggling. He is set to be one of the gigantic WWE stars in the coming years.

#9 Chyna

Chyna would be in the discussion of one of the most powerful female wrestlers in WWE’s history. Her imposing persona and physique gave her the look of a star. In the years of women doing spicy segments, the ‘Ninth Wonder of the World’ represented women in a contrasting manner by competing against the male talents and even prevailing over them at times. Chyna’s puissance was a reason behind her exemplary feats not only in women’s but also in men’s division. Apart from the Women’s Championship triumph, Chyna was the first and only woman to win the Intercontinental Championship, not once but on two occasions.

#8 Charlotte Flair

When Charlotte Flair entered the realm of WWE, she had the responsibility of bearing the legacy of her legendary father, Ric Flair. The Queen is not only carrying the name of her family but also writing her own history with remarkable achievements. Today, Charlotte’s name echoes among the greatest of all time, although she is still an active Superstar. With a record fourteen Women’s Championship reigns, which is the most by any female WWE Superstar, she is miles above her contemporaries. Beating Charlotte is a big feat for any wrestler, which shows her command in the ring.

#7 Bruno Sammartino

If you are an old-school fan of professional wrestling, you should be well-familiar with Bruno Sammartino, who was WWE’s biggest star in the 1960s and 1970s. Since he holds the record for the lengthiest run as the WWE Champion, he is among the most dominant WWE Champions ever in history. With an impressive eight years as the WWE Champion in his first run, Bruno Sammartino was a champion for 2803 days, which is the longest reign with the WWE Championship and any other championship in history. Additionally, his second WWE Championship reign continued for 1237 days, making him the first and fifth longest-reigning WWE Champion of all time. His prolonged title reigns demonstrated why he was big draw of old-school wrestling.

#6 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is at the top of the list of mist effective WWE Champions today following his record-breaking world title reign surpassing Bruno Sammartino’s second WWE Championship reign. Winning the title in 2020, the Tribal Chief is still the holder of the prized gold. Taking into consideration that Roman Reigns has not been pinned in a singles match for nearly half a decade, it speaks volumes of his sheer dominance. The biggest names in the industry- Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, Edge, and even John Cena- bowed down to the Head of the Table during his historic run as the champion.

#5 John Cena

At the pinnacle, John Cena was called ‘Super Cena’ for a reason. His unshakable persona of overcoming all hurdles made every child’s favorite hero and every adult’s inspiration. He preached ‘Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect’ whilst he beat the biggest bad guys of the industry keeping those words in mind. John Cena’s sixteen World Championship triumphs, which is the most by any wrestler under the WWE banner, show his domination for a decade. Besides being one of the most recognized WWE Champions, he is one of the most dominant wrestlers ever to grace the squared circle of WWE.

#4 Hulk Hogan

Professional wrestling was defined by the name of young Hulk Hogan in the 1980s, such was his mainstream popularity. He was the first megastar Vince McMahon had ever produced. His marketability and popularity led to six WWE Championship wins, including the second-longest WWE Championship reign in history. Due to his position as a top star, he seldom lost matches, especially in his prime in WWE. He continued a similar stat in WCW as a heel and the leader of nWo.

#3 Goldberg

Goldberg built his personality in WCW by decimating his rivals within a couple of minutes, competing in back-to-back squash matches each week. His superiority as a powerhouse led to the famous unbeaten streak of 173-0.Upon his arrival in WWE, Goldberg maintained an identical invincible persona, even though he never had a lengthy winning streak like WCW days. He won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in his first stint, giving us an incredible feud with The Evolution. Due to his physicality, assertiveness, and ability to finish opponents within a few minutes, Goldberg would go down in history as one of most dominant wrestlers to grace the squared circle.

#2 The Undertaker

Maintaining the same aura, personality, and domination for thirty years might sound like a herculean task, but The Undertaker built his legacy for three decades, attaining unbelievable feats and winning numerous titles. A year after his debut in 1991, The Deadman beat Hulk Hogan to win the WWE Championship for the first time. He further asserted his dominance r by having an undefeated WrestleMania streak of 21 matches.

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is a gifted athlete who not only conquered the WWE ring but also the UFC octagon, making him the only man to win both the WWE Championship and the UFC Heavyweight Championship. Bearing in mind that he is called ‘The Beast Incarnate’, it would be fair to call him one of the the dominant men in WWE history. As a ten-time World Champion, Brock Lesnar always competed for the top prize. Lesnar’s accomplishments in combat sports made him a legit and believable force to be reckoned with in the ring. Furthermore, Lesnar was the man to stop the famous WrestleMania streak, which many legends had failed to do.
