1 Sentence to Describe Topย WWE Raw and SmackDown Stars

Chris MuellerMay 19, 2026

The WWE roster has undergone some changes recently, but most of the people who are at the top of the card have been there for years.

The things needed to be considered a top star in WWE are simple: winning titles, being featured on a regular basis, and being one of the most popular people on the roster are all factors. Perception is also a big part of it.

Anyone can be booked to win a belt, but without the support of the fans, rising higher up the food chain is almost impossible.

We thought it might be fun to go through WWE's top stars on Raw and SmackDown and attempt to sum them up in a single sentence.

Roman Reigns

The Tribal Chief is the true embodiment of a top star in WWE, but his inconsistent schedule has made it harder for some fans to invest in his newest title reign.

Rhea Ripley
