Best wrestler in WWE right now
Serious question as I have only started watching WWE after not watching it from the late 2000s (2007) till last year when I got interested after seeing the promos for Roman vs Cody.
With the eye test, I see the men’s roster as being generally smaller (it’s like the small ball wave that swept through the NBA). In the 2000s I cannot think of an “undersized” superstar bar Rey, Eddie and Y2J.
In terms of entertainment and technical proficiency value one guy sticks out and that is AJ Styles. Truly is a master and his offence is super entertaining. The Samoans are pretty boring with all of them having limited move sets bar Jacob Fatu. Penta is very fun to watch and I think he will only grow into his true fighting style once he settles in.
In saying that Drew, Punk, Gunther, Cody, KO, Randy are all excellent. I was pleasantly surprised with how versatile Cody can be depending on his opponent. DP is too clumsy, seems to botch moves all the time. I think to be fair the more appropriate description would be he lacks the refinement of the aforementioned stars. Which again showcases how incredible the mid 2000s were when you had decent huge guys like Test and they could barely break into the top spots.
