My 6 Favourite Wrestlers Today

With so much amazing wrestling content being put out to the world every single week there really is an excellent variety of styles, brands and talent and in today’s blog post I want to celebrate that and dive into some of my favourites as of right now. Whenever I’m asked who my favourite wrestler is I find it impossible to name just one and so below I have listed six of my current favourite wrestlers from across the wrestling scene but who would make your top six?

THIS POST WAS PRE POSTED

Jordynne Grace

As you guys know, I have really been enjoying the content over on Impact Wrestling over the last couple of months. During that time, it’s become clear that the knockouts division is stronger than it has been in a very long time and one of the leading faces there is Jordynne Grace. Now, this is a woman who for me is ticking all the boxes and stealing the show. Week after week we are seeing Grace work fantastic matches with standout bouts against the likes of Kiera Hogan, Tessa Blanchard, and Madison Rayne to name just a few. Her power and athletic skill combined make her a serious force to be reckoned with and she remains one of the names I am most excited to watch every week. I have no doubt we are looking at a future knockouts champion and if she can keep up this moment her future looks incredibly bright!

Roderick Strong

Moving over to NXT now and there is no denying just how dominant the Undisputed Era is right now. They are stronger and more important than ever before, and boy are they letting the world know about it! However, while Adam Cole plays the role of leader it's Rodrick Strong who for me has been stealing the spotlight in recent months. From arguing against Cole to his standout performances in the ring, Strong is showing he is far from the weak link of the group and bright things most certainly await him. His huge match up against Matt Riddle the most recent Takeover Event was his best singles match in a while and he has become a major talking point over on the black and gold brand today. Now the North American Champion Roderick Strong is killing it on the NXT roster and has become a serious dark horse on the Black and Gold brand and one of the most consistent stars in the WWE today.

Tessa Blanchard

As far as the best female wrestlers in the world today go Tessa Blanchard sure as hell is very much near the top of that list! Charisma, skill, amazing wrestling ability and an array of must-see matches already behind her, it's crazy to believe she’s under twenty-five with the best still yet to come. Dominating the IMPACT Wrestling knockouts division from the moment she arrived this year has seen Blanchard take on Gail Kim in one of the hottest rivalries of the year as well as go face to face with Taya and now as she enters a new position on the roster and within her character, Blanchard has stepped into the intergender wrestling scene. A heated and must-see rivalry with Sami Callihan and the rest of OVE has seen Blanchard truly prove she can deliver a brilliant match with any talent male or female and her up and coming singles bout against Callihan is one I have anticipated more than any other match this year! There never really is much better than two of your favourite wrestlers going one on one!

Ricochet

Up next, we have the only WWE main roster talent to appear on this list, the current (well as I write this) United States champion, Ricochet. Now, it was a slow start up on the main roster for Ricochet. He didn’t receive a big-time push the moment he arrived but what we did see was slow progress and a massive turn around he truly did deserve. From epic standout matches against Cesaro to challenging Samoa Joe for the US title Ricochet has had a brilliant couple of months and that’s without mentioning his huge RAW man event contest against AJ freaking Styles. The future looks so bright for this former NXT star and with so may dream matches awaiting him I genuinely cannot wait to see what he gets up to next!

Jon Moxley

Now, where do we even begin here? Since leaving the WWE Jon Moxley has become one of the biggest names in pro wrestling today. His popularity from his time working under Dean Ambrose in the WWE has taken him to brand new heights as he starts a new chapter in his career. From making a shock arrival at AEW’s Double or Nothing PPV to debuting for New Japan and winning gold there, there really is no stopping Moxley! I personally have always been such a huge fan that I’m so happy to see him doing so well but what really is exciting here is knowing there is still so much more to come and the best really is yet to be seen! (Keep in mind this post was written before Moxley's injury)

Imperium

Okay, so this last entry may technically be seen as cheating a little, but I just had to include a tag team or faction and Imperium really have been making one heck of an impact! Since forming, WALTER, Alexander Wolf, Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel have created a whole new feel over on the NXT UK roster. Their dominance and unique stance have shifted things massively and an exciting new time has started on the brand. The faction brings something very exciting to table and the potential storyline’s that await them make for must-see content. I’ve loved their promos, segments, and collision with British Strong Style and the edge they have provided to NXT UK is super excited! We also now are witnessing the NXT UK stable make an impact over in NXT and with a possible collision with The Undisputed Era on the horizon we have plenty to look forward to where these men are concerned.

And that is my list! Of course, there were so many other names I wanted to include here but these genuinely are my favourite wrestlers today! As always, I would love to know what you guys think so feel free to leave a comment or tweet me over at @TezangiVictoria telling me who your favourite wrestlers are today.
