10 Best World Champions Of The WWE Ruthless Aggression Era

[@thetruej7872]

When I think of great World Champions in the Ruthless Aggression Era, John Cena, Batista, Undertaker, Randy Orton, and Edge are the main ones that come to mind.

What about Bobby lashley he was a great world champion

[@ichneumon2776]

That Batista - Undertaker feud is one the best feuds of all time. My favorite moment is when Taker smoothly transitioned from being on top of Batista's shoulders to a Tombstone Pile driver in the Elimination Chamber.

[@PrinceIsot]

John and Dave deserve the top spots, they were obviously the faces of the ruthless aggression era and they carried the company

[@JLove2000swrestling]

John cena was obviously the number 1 guy

[@Mega_Collosas]

why they never main evented mania together ..is still a mystery to me

[@MoeCamera]

John cena is overrated overhyped dude can’t even wrestle properly. He’s a weight room athletic not a wrestler. He was shoved down our throats never organically over.

[@urbaindelva7869]

Cena and Batista were undeniably THOSE MEN during thr Ruthless Aggression ers.

[@tanaka7341]

Man that era was magic

[@rubbyevan9978]

Undertaker and Chris jericho should be honourable mentions.

[@alexvatoloco258]

No Jericho shouldn’t he had forgettable IC title reigns 😂😂😂

[@ajtaylor8750]

Batista comes to mind immediately when I think of the best champion of the Ruthless Aggression Era. 282 days as the Heavyweight Champion and only ended up dropping the title after he had to vacate it because of injury.

[@kofose]

John Cena comes to mind when I think of the ruthless aggression era, regardless if you liked him or not. He kept it going for the company.

[@tompatchak8706]

And he was the first guy to say it

[@WR288]

2002-2005 1) Triple H 2) Brock Lesnar 3) Kurt Angle 4) Eddie Guerrero 2005-2008 1) John Cena 2) Batista 3) Triple H 4) Edge 5) Randy Orton

[@calebmaybin6896]

The first Champs of the Ruthless Aggression Era I thought of was the Hooligans aka Paul London and Brian Kendrick... RIP Ashley Massaro.

[@SheriffOutlaw]

Honestly this period had some decent World Champions between both Men's and Women's Division

[@stephenmiller2337]

The quality of matches in the "Ruthless Agression" era were better than in the "Attitude Era"

[@DiobeticDaily]

Easily

[@citizensane4387]

I know he wasn’t a champion for most of his career, but the undertaker has still got to be noted for being “that dude” for a very long time. One of the rare performers who really didn’t need a belt to still be considered at the top of any card.

[@samartha3780]

i dont know why nobody talks about the age of orton title reign of 2007-08 . that 203 day reign was epic and an ideal reign for a slippery menacing heel

[@that.canadian.vaper.guyTCVG]

Batista and Cena immediately came to mind. The World Heavyweight Championship looked like it was made to be around Batista, it just worked. If you grew up during the Ruthless Aggression Era, you were either a Batista kid or a Cena kid. I was a Batista kid back then lol.

[@stevegallo8483]

I would mention JBL, but he was only Champion because Triple H didn't want to work Tuesdays. (Back when Smackdown was on Tuesdays.)

[@deandreushayes9836]

Honorable mention: Undertaker

[@TheTony024]

Tbh I think of Shawn Michaels when I hear ruthless aggression. His trilogy feud with Undertaker. Main event Mania 23 and putting over Cena. His 1 month run as WHC as the first winner of Elimination Chamber. His DX shit and elevating Rated RKO, feuding with the McMahons, and Spirit Squad 😭. Michaels was the locker vet of that era(him and Taker really) and he helped give so much back to the business by elevating stars and even ending careers, his Flair retirement match at Mania 24. Michaels did great stuff in that era when he was never really the top guy as the next generation was pushing through. But the work put in helped sustained and move the business forward. Shawn Michaels, underrated MVP of the Ruthless Aggression era. Thats just who I think of because he did top quality shit that he had so many career defining moments in that era.

[@TheTony024]

May sound controversial, but I have fonder memories of Michaels RA era work than his Attitude era work. Both great runs in their own rights, but in the RA he was more seasoned, more psychological, and told better stories than when he was THE guy. He’s a hall of famer but am I crazy to think he was better later than when he was in his prime? Dude is an industry legend and its awesome that he really matured and got his life back on track. His work today with NXT proves he dropped his ego at the door long ago. Even in the RA, letting Cena and Taker go over? Great decisions in retrospect with all he’s done for WWE.

[@dallassylvestre8155]

I always like Victoria she never got her due I felt

[@TheRonaldNess]

Batista and John Cena. Ruthless Aggression's top dog undisputed. They *weren't* them, but they were that era's Stone Cold and Rock

[@gabrielblack6751]

Randy Orton the best for me!

[@MichaelJDMusic]

Rey Mysterio. I know what you’re going to say, but hear me out. That was the fault of terrible booking. Rey sticking it out both in kayfabe and out is why I believe he belongs on/in this list. Out of kayfabe he dealt with some of the worst booking I’ve ever seen for a champ and in general.

[@akunwanneprosper7016]

Why is Triple H #8? Reign of terror was in Ruthless Aggression

[@redkalel]

Triple H at 8?! Wayyyy tooo low

[@dibyoghosh]

Edge was the greatest champion of the 2000s. It’s not even comparable.

[@melbell700]

I always think back to the cover of Raw vs smack down 2007. Cena, Trish, Batista, Rey, and The Game. Rey wasn’t a great Champion sadly. But he was no doubt a memorable part of that Era. Also question. Would Evolution be considered apart of that Era?

[@matheusgomes1177]
