"And That's The Bottom Line Because Stone Cold Said So"

<p>There is a popular saying, “Age is just a number”. However, when it comes to sports, age is most certainly not just a number. WWE might be an entertainment program, but it remains a wrestling company which has professionally trained wrestlers. There have been superstars like <strong>Ric Flair</strong> and <strong>Hulk Hogan</strong>, who have wrestled into their late 50s/early 60s, while superstars like <strong>Edge</strong>, <strong>Christian</strong> and <strong>Stone Cold Steve Austin</strong> who were unfortunately forced to retire in their prime.</p>



<p>The current WWE roster is an amazing mix of young talents and experienced individuals, and in this article, we look at the oldest and youngest superstars currently employed by WWE.</p>



<p>For simplicity’s sake, we will include only the superstars who have <strong>full-time role with WWE</strong>, which means that while <strong>Nicholas</strong> may be the youngest champion in WWE and <strong>Undertaker</strong> is the oldest to main-event a WrestleMania, they wouldn’t be a part of this list.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/NrG1Fqy.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>One half of Authors of Pain, Rezar is originally from the Netherlands and has competed in combat sports from a very young age. He won the Kickboxing Championship at the age of 15! Rezar later started training for a career in MMA, where he has a respectable 6-2 Win-Loss record.</p>



<p>Following his MMA career, Rezar joined NXT where he as put in a Tag-Team with Akam.</p>



<p>Rezar and Akam are currently off WWE television, and make sporadic appearances on SmackDown and RAW. Hopefully, these young men get a proper run in the future, as they have age on their side.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Bobby Lashley: Age 43</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/yBSKMRd.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>The youngest of the oldest group, Lashley celebrated his 43rd birthday just over a month ago. Lashley first debuted in WWE in 2005, and was considered as the next big thing in WWE. He even featured in a match at WrestleMania representing the current United States President <strong>Donald Trump</strong>.</p>



<p>However, Lashley couldn’t find a proper spot in WWE, and eventually left the company in 2008. He had a short stint with TNA, following which he left the company in order to pursue his MMA career. Lashley returned to TNA in 2014 and stayed with the company for quite some time before returning to WWE at RAW after WrestleMania 34.</p>



<p>Lashley will always go down in the history books as a major misuse of a bright talent, and his failure to succeed in his current run is rather disappointing.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Lio Rush: Age 24</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/dKkoLdV.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Lio Rush is one of the wildest cases in professional wrestling. Struggling with mental health issues while growing up, Rush eventually took up professional wrestling. After an extended run in the independent scene, Rush joined WWE in 2017. He had a rocky start to his WWE career, after tweeting out a disrespectful treat when Emma, got fired from WWE.</p>



<p>Rush eventually won the faith of WWE officials, and he was fast-tracked to the main roster. He was made the manager of the Bobby Lashley, in a partnership that paid dividends. Rush’s annoying character was a hit with the audience. However, earlier this year, Rush once again came under the radar for his backstage antics.</p>



<p>He has since disappeared from WWE altogether, and although he is still listed as a full-time wrestler, his return to the WWE ring remains an uncertainty.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/q9S8N8D.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



<p>Another individual from the Ruthless Aggression Era, Shelton Benjamin was among the same group of “next big things” as Bobby Lashley. However, even after delivering spectacular performances from time to time, Benjamin was relegated to the lower card and he eventually left the company.</p>



<p>Benjamin returned to WWE in 2017, and won gold with Chad Gable in the Tag-Team Division. He is currently scheduled to participate in the King of the Ring tournament, which started this week on RAW. He will contest against his former friend Chad Gable in the first round.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Velveteen Dream: Age 24</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/vW5HCCZ.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>It is quite baffling to think that the Velveteen Dream turned 24 in August itself. He has competed in several Takeover matches, produced high quality matches against the likes of Roderick Strong and Tommaso Ciampa. The current NXT North American Champion has stayed in the developmental brand for a really long time now, and a main-roster move is imminent.</p>



<p>One of the finest characters in WWE today, The Velveteen Dream oozes charisma and possess fine wrestling abilities. If there was ever a superstar who was destined for great things on the main roster, it’s Velveteen Dream.</p>

<p>Mysterio left WWE in 2014, for a career in the independent scene. He eventually returned to WWE last year, and has won the US Championship in his current run. Mysterio is one of the most iconic superstars in WWE history, and quite possibly the greatest Luchador of all time.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/YWQUIhv.jpg" alt=""/></figure>

Bate is a fantastic competitor whose performances go beyond his age, and he produced one of the finest matches in WWE in recent memory with Pete Dunne.</p>



<p>Tyler Bate has a long and bright future ahead of him, and will undoubtedly become a major star in WWE</p>
