In 2014, for example, Daniel Bryan won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 30 after following up his victory over Triple H with a win over Batista and Randy Orton in the main event.
At 178cm, Bryan is one of the shortest WWE World Champions of all time. Granted, WWE still makes fun of his height in certain storylines – his 2015 rivalry with Sheamus springs to mind – but Bryan’s size has not stopped him from achieving a huge amount of success in his WWE career.
In contrast, the likes of The Big Show and Kane have cemented their statuses as two of the best big men in WWE history, while another tall Superstar – Shane McMahon’s right-hand man, Jordan Omogbehin – has recently started making appearances on RAW.
In this article, let’s take a look at the heights of every WWE Superstar who appears on RAW and SmackDown, as well as the part-time performers who are listed as active Superstars on the company’s website.
#5 WWE Superstars’ heights (155cm-168cm)
It should come as no surprise that Alexa Bliss and Zelina Vega are the two shortest Superstars on the WWE roster right now.
Bliss has been nicknamed Little Miss Bliss and Five Feet of Fury for several years, while Vega’s height has been mocked on multiple occasions on WWE television, including when her real-life husband – fellow WWE Superstar Aleister Black – sat down during a promo in NXT to speak to her on the same level.
Female Superstars’ heights are almost irrelevant when it comes to challenging for top titles in WWE. Bliss and Asuka are two of the shortest women in the company, but they are also two of the most decorated Champions of the last four years.
Kalisto and Rey Mysterio are the shortest male Superstars on RAW and SmackDown right now. However, that honor would have gone to Drake Maverick (163cm) before his move to NXT earlier in 2020.
For what it is worth, former WWE Superstar Hornswoggle is 135cm.
Alexa Bliss - 155cmZelina Vega - 155cmEmber Moon - 157cmNikki Cross - 157cmAsuka - 160cmDana Brooke - 160cmLiv Morgan - 163cmMandy Rose - 163cmMickie James - 163cmRuby Riott - 163cmCarmella - 165cmNaomi - 165cmNatalya - 165cmSasha Banks - 165cmBayley - 168cmBecky Lynch - 168cmKalisto - 168cmRey Mysterio - 168cm
#4 WWE Superstars’ heights (170cm-178cm)
The biggest takeaway from this category is the fact that Chad Gable is taller than four male Superstars on the current WWE roster – Kalisto, Rey Mysterio, Akira Tozawa and Lince Dorado – yet he continues to call himself Shorty G.
It is also surprising to learn that Shorty G is only two centimeters shorter than Andrade and Angel Garza, but their lack of size is never alluded to in their WWE storylines.
With so many cruiserweight Superstars making their way through the WWE ranks and over to RAW and SmackDown, Daniel Bryan is no longer one of the shortest male Superstars in WWE.
In fact, he is the same height as 2020 WWE Money in the Bank winner Otis, as well as Cedric Alexander, Charlotte Flair and Mustafa Ali.
Akira Tozawa - 170cmBianca Belair - 170cmLana - 170cmLince Dorado - 170cmPeyton Royce - 170cmRonda Rousey - 170cmShayna Baszler - 170cmSonya Deville - 170cmBillie Kay - 173cmLacey Evans - 173cmShorty G - 173cmTamina - 174cmAndrade - 175cmAngel Garza - 175cmGran Metalik - 175cmRicochet - 175cmStephanie McMahon - 175cmCedric Alexander - 178cmCharlotte Flair - 178cmDaniel Bryan - 178cmMustafa Ali - 178cmOtis - 178cm
#3 WWE Superstars’ heights (180cm-185cm)
Although Vince McMahon is not technically a WWE Superstar, it felt right to include him in this category to see which Superstars he is taller than on the current roster.
The WWE Chairman is the same height as Superstars including Montez Ford and Seth Rollins, but he is not quite as tall as his own son, Shane McMahon (more on that shortly).
This category also includes the tallest woman in WWE, Nia Jax, as well as all three members of The New Day.
Looking through the list below, it is interesting that somebody like AJ Styles is considered to be short compared to previous WWE World Champions, yet Big E – who, as the name suggests, is one of WWE’s largest performers – is the same height as him.
AJ Styles - 180cmAleister Black - 180cmBig E - 180cmMurphy - 180cmXavier Woods - 180cmDolph Ziggler - 183cmDrew Gulak - 183cmElias - 183cmJohn Morrison - 183cmKevin Owens - 183cmKofi Kingston - 183cmNia Jax - 183cmSteve Cutler - 183cmApollo Crews - 185cmBo Dallas - 185cmErik - 185cmHumberto Carrillo - 185cmJaxson Ryker - 185cmThe Miz - 185cmMontez Ford - 185cmRobert Roode - 185cmSami Zayn - 185cmSeth Rollins - 185cmVince McMahon - 185cmWesley Blake - 185cm
#2 WWE Superstars’ heights (186cm-191cm)
A 12-year-old Dominik Mysterio looked considerably taller than Rey Mysterio when the Mysterio family appeared in a WWE SmackDown segment with CM Punk in 2010, so it is hardly surprising that the new WWE RAW Superstar is now taller than John Cena and 20 centimeters taller than his own father.
Further down in the list below, Shane McMahon is 188cm – three centimeters taller than Vince McMahon – while long-time WWE rivals Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns are the same height as Bray Wyatt, Jimmy Uso and MVP.
Anyone who read a similar article to this on WWE Superstars’ weights (How much do Big Show, Braun Strowman & Roman Reigns weigh?) will know that Jey Uso is billed at 228 lbs and Jimmy Uso is billed at 251 lbs.
As well as being 23 lbs heavier, Jimmy Uso is also three centimeters taller than his brother.
Also, just to clarify, Lesnar is included below because WWE still lists him as a current Superstar on the company’s website.
John Cena - 186cmDominik Mysterio - 188cmIvar - 188cmJeff Hardy - 188cmJey Uso - 188cmKeith Lee - 188cmMatt Riddle - 188cmR-Truth - 188cmSamoa Joe - 188cmShelton Benjamin - 188cmShane McMahon - 188cmShinsuke Nakamura - 188cmBobby Lashley - 190cmLars Sullivan - 190cmMojo Rawley - 190cmRiddick Moss - 190cmTucker - 190cmBray Wyatt - 191cmBrock Lesnar - 191cmRoman Reigns - 191cmJimmy Uso - 191cmMVP - 191cm
#1 WWE Superstars’ heights (193cm-221cm)
The introduction to this article mentioned that being a short Superstar on the WWE roster does not necessarily hold people back from achieving success in Vince McMahon’s company.
While that is true, it is also alarming that this list of WWE’s 16 tallest Superstars contains 11 World Champions.
Angelo Dawkins, Cesaro, Titus O’Neil, King Corbin and Jordan Omogbehin are the only Superstars in this category who have never won a World Championship in WWE.
With respect to O’Neil, he is unlikely to ever reach that goal, but the likes of Dawkins, Cesaro and Corbin are still young enough to work their way to the top of the WWE mountain.
As for Omogbehin, he has not yet competed in a match on WWE television, so it remains to be seen if he has what it takes to succeed in WWE.
Goldberg - 193cmSheamus - 193cmTriple H - 193cmAngelo Dawkins - 196cmCesaro - 196cmDrew McIntyre - 196cmEdge - 196cmJinder Mahal - 196cmRandy Orton - 196cmTitus O’Neil - 198cmBraun Strowman - 203cmKing Corbin - 203cmThe Undertaker - 208cmBig Show - 213cmKane - 213cmJordan Omogbehin - 221cm
