Tallest Current Male WWE Wrestlers

WWE has often been seen as the land of the giants, with the company often pushing some very tall wrestlers over the years. The likes of Andre The Giant and The Undertaker have been able to dominate in the main event scene, and even some of the more forgettable wrestlers such as Nathan Jones enjoyed a push due to the fact they were tall.

The 18 Tallest Current Female WWE Wrestlers On The Main Roster

The WWE Women’s Division has a real range of height, with some wrestlers that are able to physically dominate, purely through their height alone!

Nowadays, being a big person isn’t crucial anymore, with smaller wrestlers such as Daniel Bryan and CM Punk breaking through the glass ceiling for others. However, in a sport where variety is key, there are still plenty of spots for tall talents, and the current roster has some huge male stars.

UPDATE: 2024/05/07 17:30 EST BY TEVON KING

The tallest male wrestlers in WWE history are some of the all-time greats. WWE Hall of Famers The Undertaker, Kane, and Kevin Nash are tall men and they are agile. Nevertheless, not all tall wrestlers move well in the ring as they are immobile and fans are fed up with them right away. Undeniably, tall wrestlers stand out from the pack because of their height, but if they are poor inside the squared circle, they offer nothing other than their height. WWE is traditionally the land of the giants, and some of the current tall male wrestlers on the main roster are excellent in-ring competitors. Opportunities are being presented to wrestlers in WWE regardless of their height, but it has been easier for taller wrestlers to break through.

2021 started very well for Drew McIntyre as he started the year in his second reign as WWE Champion. The Scottish Psychopath featured prominently in the main event scene for half of the year before he’s taken a backseat in major storylines in the latter half of the year.

McIntyre is a physical specimen, and he stands at 6 ft 5 inches tall. His height hasn’t held him back by any stretch of the imagination, and he’s one of the best in-ring workers on the roster. McIntyre featured in an outstanding Intercontinental Championship triple threat match with Gunther and Sheamus at WrestleMania 39 Sunday.

The Scottish Psychopath has renewed his contract with WWE and the three-time WWE World Champion is doing some of the best work in his career as a heel.

Dijak was brought into WWE as a dominant monster, and a lot of that was down to his height. Because he’s such a tall wrestler, Dijak was able to look physically imposing against everybody, and if the company booked Retribution well, that would have worked when he was T-Bar.


However, one of the reasons that Dijak is such a brilliant wrestler is the fact that can move around the ring with great agility. He can hit high-flying moves that people as tall as him typically cannot do, and that has helped him get over throughout his career in wrestling.

Damian Priest is a fantastic wrestler, and being one of the tallest members of the roster certainly hasn’t hurt him. Priest has a unique style where he can brawl and bring a powerhouse style to things because of how tall he is. Yet at the same time, he has an amazing striking ability which is fun to watch.

Priest normally dominates his opponents when it comes to height, and it does help him to stand out, which is one of the reasons he has thrived so much since joining the main roster. Priest joined the Judgment Day at WrestleMania 38 when he sided with Edge, and it’s been one of the best things to happen to his WWE career. Priest has been an imposing heel working alongside Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley. He should have main evented Backlash 2023 in his native Puerto Rico against Bad Bunny but it wasn’t meant to be with Priest producing an outstanding performance.


Priest won the 2023 men’s Money in the Bank ladder match in London, England, and nine months later, Priest successfully cashed in his briefcase as he defeated Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 40 to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.

Baron Corbin has a slight advantage over Damian Priest, and he is certainly one of the tallest people in the company. Corbin uses his height perfectly inside the ring, dominating his matches and bringing in the powerhouse style.


However, Corbin doesn’t just rely on his height to see him through. He has been able to work brilliantly with creating characters and the fact he’s had so many varied gimmicks showcases that he is just as capable of being an entertainer as he is a wrestler.

Unfortunately, the Phenomenal One sustained an injury in early 2023 which halted the momentum of Gallows and Anderson. Gallows is a former two-time Raw Tag Team Champion alongside Anderson.

Strowman stands at 6ft 8in, and the former Universal Champion has been teaming up with Ricochet. Their partnership works, but Strowman would like to find himself back in World Championship contention.

Omos is a giant wrestler and is easily the tallest member of the WWE roster. Fans have instantly gravitated towards him, simply being wowed by his huge height and that has allowed him to dominate people inside the ring with some physically impressive spots.


WWE’s decision to pair him up with AJ Styles has only enhanced his height due to AJ being small, and that has made Omos look even larger. Vince McMahon is well known for being a big fan of people who are this big, which is why he has such huge potential.

The Nigerian Giant has been fortunate to be feuding with a plethora of former World Champions. He registered a win over two-time WWE Champion Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania Backlash 2022, and a year later, he was involved in a feud with Brock Lesnar. They battled in the curtain-raiser at WrestleMania 39 Sunday with the Beast Incarnate getting the win. Arguably, the best match in Omos’ career came at Backlash 2023 against Seth Rollins with the Visionary battling past Omos.
