There is no specific age required to become a pro wrestler. Most superstars began their careers at 16 or 18 years old. Former Divas Champion Paige had her first wrestling match when she was just thirteen. As more wrestlers make it to WWE, they look to make their mark in the biggest pro wrestling company in the world.
The following is a list of the youngest male and female wrestlers in WWE right now (as of 26 July 2019) and it only consists of Superstars on the main roster (Raw and Smackdown Live only). Wrestlers who share the same age are ranked according to the order of their birth.
#10 Alexa Bliss - 27 years old
Alexa Bliss is one of the most successful female superstars in WWE right now. She has accomplished what most would dream about. At the young age of only 27 years old, Bliss has made history by becoming the first person to win the Smackdown and Raw Women’s Championship on two separate occasions. She held the titles several times each, making her a 5-time women’s champion.
She also won the 2018 women’s Money in the Bank ladder match, thus winning the briefcase and becoming the first female and third superstar overall to cash it in on the same night it was won. Bliss is also one of the most talented in-ring performers in the company. She is brilliant on the mic, plays a very good heel and she’s very attractive.
Little Miss Bliss still has many more years left in her and she’ll be around for a very long time. She is an example of an experiment that became a great success. Bliss hosted WWE’s grandest event, WrestleMania 35, making her the youngest and the first active female superstar to do so.
#9 Sasha Banks - 27 years old
Former Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks is one of the most talented but underrated superstars in the WWE right now. She signed with the WWE in 2012 and was sent to NXT where she captured the NXT Women’s Championship. Banks quickly established herself as one of the most popular performers and was heavily cheered by fans even when she played a heel.
Banks has gone on to make history in the WWE on several occasions. Her match against Bayley at TakeOver: Respect in 2015 was the first women’s match to ever headline a TakeOver event, and she was also involved in the first-ever women’s Iron Man match in WWE history.
At Hell in a Cell in 2016, she and Charlotte Flair became the first women to main event a WWE PPV and they were first female superstars to compete in a Hell in a Cell match. She is a four-time Raw Women’s Champion and along with Bayley, they became the first ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
#8 Paige - 26 years old
Paige started wrestling at a very young age. She had her first-ever wrestling match when she was just 13, in a promotion called ‘World Association of Wrestling,’ a promotion run by her family. She competed under the ring name Britani Knight. She signed with WWE in 2011 and performed in NXT, where she became the inaugural NXT Women’s Champion.
She made her main roster debut on Raw the night after WrestleMania 30 in 2014 where she won her first Diva’s Championship from AJ Lee in her first match on the main roster. Paige has won the retired WWE Divas Championship twice. Unfortunately, on the Raw after WrestleMania 34, Paige officially retired from in-ring competition due to injury at a very young age.
She served as the on-screen general manager of Smackdown Live before managing the team of Asuka and Kairi Sane – The Kabuki Warriors.
#7 Peyton Royce - 26 years old
Current Smackdown Live and one half of The IIconics Peyton Royce signed with WWE in 2015 as part of a new class of NXT trainees. She made her televised in-ring debut on the 15 May episode of NXT under the ring name KC Cassidy but suffered a defeat to the Sasha Banks who was NXT Women’s Champion at the time.
In October 2016, Royce formed an alliance with Billie Kay and they were officially known as The Iconic Duo. Throughout the year, Royce continued to rack up victories over other talents like Aliyah, Sarah Logan and Ruby Riot. Royce competed in a fatal–four-way match for the vacant NXT Women’s Championship at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, but the match was won by Ember Moon.
The IIconics debuted on SmackDown Live on April 2018 attacking then SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair. They successfully defeated the team of Asuka and Naomi at WWE Super Show-Down in Australia, their country of birth and they won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 35.
#6 Akam - 26 years old
Former Raw and NXT tag team champion Akam currently performs on WWE Raw with his tag team partner Rezar as the Authors of Pain or AOP, with their manager Drake Maverick. Akam signed a contract with WWE in October 2015 and he began training in the WWE Performance Centre to become a professional wrestler.
He formed a tag team with Rezar on February 2016 and together as The Authors of Pain they made their televised debuts at NXT TakeOver: The End by Attacking American Alpha before leaving backstage with their then-manager Paul Ellering.
As The Authors of Pain, they have won the NXT tag team championships, Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and the Raw tag team championships. AOP is one of the most dominant tag teams on Raw right now. The team has been absent on TV for a while. They were last seen at Super ShowDown 2019.
#5 Sonya Deville - 25 years old
Sonya Deville is a former mix martial artist and contestant in WWE Tough Enough in the 2015 season, where she came in eleventh. In October 2015, she signed a contract with WWE and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center to become a professional wrestler. She then joined NXT in 2015, but she has an unsuccessful run.
Her most notable appearance came when she competed in a six-woman tag team match along with Mandy Rose and Alexa Bliss in which they were defeated by Carmella, Liv Morgan, and Nikki Cross. Deville made her main roster debut on Raw in 2017 alongside former Divas Champion Paige and Mandy Rose as they attacked Sasha Banks, Bayley, Mickie James and Alexa Bliss.
The stable went under the name Absolution. During the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-up, Deville and Mandy were drafted to SmackDown Live where they are currently competing. She also competed in a battle royal at the first-ever all-women PPV WWE Evolution.
#4 Sarah Logan - 25 years old
Sarah Logan was one of the first four participants competing in the first-ever Mae Young Classic tournament in 2017. She was eliminated in the first round by another competitor Mia Yim. Despite being eliminated from the tournament, she later teamed up with other eliminated competitors in a six-woman tag team match but they were unsuccessful.
Logan made her main roster debut on WWE Smackdown Live in November 2017 along with former NXT Superstars Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott as part of The Riott Squad. They attacked both Becky Lynch and Naomi. On the same night, they interrupted a match between Charlotte Flair (who was the SmackDown Women’s Champion at the time) and Natalya and attacked both of them.
Logan teamed with her former Riott Squad members in house shows but was unfortunately kept off TV for a while. She returned to Raw before Extreme Rules and took on Bayley in a Beat The Clock challenge on Raw where she lost. Even though she hasn’t achieved much in WWE, only the future knows what’s in store for Sarah Logan.
#3 Rezar - 25 years old
Former WWE Raw and NXT tag team champion Rezar currently performs on the Raw brand with his tag team partner Akam as the Authors of Pain, with their manager Drake Maverick. He signed a contract with WWE in May 2015 and immediately began training in the WWE Performance Centre to become a professional wrestler.
He formed a tag team with Akam on February 2016 and together as The Authors of Pain they made their televised debuts at NXT TakeOver: The End by Attacking American Alpha before leaving backstage with Paul Ellering.
Rezar is a former mix martial artist. He competed in MMA promotions like BAMMA and Bellator MMA before joining WWE. He is also a former kickboxer, winning the Pro World Heavyweight Championship in 2013 after an 8-man tournament in one night. PWI ranked him #211 of the top 500 singles wrestlers in the PWI 500 in 2018.
#2 Liv Morgan - 25 years old
Liv Morgan makes the list as the youngest female WWE Superstar currently competing on the main roster. Liv made her main roster debut on the November 21st episode of SmackDown Live as a heel alongside Sarah Logan and Ruby Riott. The trio formed a team known as The Riott Squad.
After WrestleMania 35, Liv Morgan was drafted to SmackDown Live, the only member of the stable to move to the blue brand, which resulted in the group being disbanded. Morgan was absent from SmackDown for months before returning to the fallout episode of Extreme Rules where she lost to Charlotte Flair. The youngster was impressive in her match and a singles push for her is a much-needed move from WWE.
It’s only left to see what the company has in store for her and if she will receive a singles push later on in her career.
#1 Lio Rush - 24 years old
Lio Rush made his first televised WWE debut on an episode of NXT back in 2017 where he was attacked by The Velveteen Dream, his former tag team partner.

Lio Rush was placed on Monday Night Raw where he was the manager of former ECW Champion Bobby Lashley on Raw. He has also had a few matches on the A-show and even defeated Elias. Rush is still employed by WWE today even though he hasn’t appeared on TV for a while.
At the age of 24, Lio Rush is currently the youngest WWE Superstar on the main roster.
