We all know that the babyface-heel dynamic is fundamental in wrestling, because a story could not be told properly without a good guy and a bad guy. Throughout WWE history there have been several legendary heels, some of whom, beyond brute strength have used their cunning to dominate their opponents, such as Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins or The Miz.

But there have also been many heels whose physical strength was their main tool to annihilate their opponents, especially those stereotypical monster heels that are so popular in wrestling. This time, we will take a look at the 10 physically strongest heels in WWE history, ranked.
10 Ezekiel Jackson
Ezekiel Jackson had the look of a world champion, although unfortunately, that's not enough to be successful in wrestling, he had no charisma, and his in-ring skills were mediocre.
However, no one can deny that he was very strong, he could perform powerhouse moves with ease and obviously with his strength he could do things that most could not. Ezekiel Jackson was a pretty forgettable wrestler, but you have to admit that he is one of the strongest heels in WWE history.
9 Triple H
The Game, The King Of Kings, The Cerebral Assassin, this guy has been called many things, and we all must admit, Triple H is one of the greatest individuals in WWE history.
He has contributed so much in the ring, he has also worked from the office, doing his best to entertain the fans. Triple H was an all-around wrestler, very strong, and it was precisely because of his strength that his offense was lethal.
8 Lex Luger
Lex Luger undoubtedly had one of the most impressive physiques in WWE in the 1990s, and although his in-ring skills weren't great, and he had a limited moveset, he became a huge star.
Some preferred Luger's work as a babyface and others preferred him as a heel, as he had the qualities to play both roles, either way, many fans loved him. Throughout his career, “the Total Package” put on some impressive displays of strength.
7 Cesaro
Pound for pound, Cesaro has to be one of the strongest men in the history of sports entertainment. He is incredibly strong, and has proven it many times, for example, by performing his swing on none other than The Great Khali, or body slamming Big Show to win the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

Cesaro is a true machine, and between 2017 and 2020 he established himself as one of the physically strongest heels in WWE history.
6 Nathan Jones
You probably already forgot Nathan Jones, many fans have no idea who he is. Well, he was a monster heel who worked for WWE in 2003. Standing at 210 centimeters and weighing 320 pounds, packed with muscle, Nathan Jones had the look of a serious killer who could destroy anyone with his bare hands.
However, Jones' wrestling skills were terrible, which is why despite his superhuman strength, he didn't last more than a year in WWE.
5 Mark Henry
Mark Henry was called The World's Strongest Man for a reason, and that was because he was very strong, and he looked like a real monster.
Throughout his career he pulled off several feats of strength, lifting Vader, lifting The Great Khali, Superplexing Big Show to make the ring collapse, he even once towed a truck by himself. Mark Henry was absolutely awesome.
4 Ryback
Ryback was an extremely strong and intense heel, with massive power. He was never a good wrestler technically speaking, but he could put on a good show under the right circumstances.
Some fans think Ryback was a cheap copy of Goldberg, but let's not be too cruel, so we could say he was a heel version of Goldberg. Although Vince McMahon certainly tried to push Ryback as a babyface, that was a total flop, as he was always better as a heel.
3 Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is one of the best heels in WWE history, with his final boss aura and killer attitude, Brock is a true beast. Lesnar is one of the most dominant wrestlers of all time, and that's mainly because of his strength.

Lesnar is capable of taking anyone to Suplex City, for example, he took Big Show, and Lesnar probably would have been able to take someone like Andre The Giant as well. Brock Lesnar has hit his F-5 on a lot of big guys, dominating them all.
2 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley is one of the strongest wrestlers in WWE history, his physique is impressive, and the crazy thing is that his physique has hardly changed in 15 years, in fact, right now he looks better than ever.
The heel version of The All Mighty has been one of the most intimidating wrestlers of all time, and in the ring he showed why he should be feared. Bobby Lashley is undoubtedly one of the strongest heels in WWE history.
1 Braun Strowman
Frankly there is no wrestler more deserving of the Monster Among Men nickname than Braun Strowman, as this guy looks like a monster and has the ability to destroy anyone, as he is an unstoppable force. Unfortunately, WWE never knew how to book him, or perhaps it was he himself who never exploded, and thus Strowman ended up having a disappointing WWE career.
Still, Braun Strowman made his mark and established himself as one of the strongest heels in WWE history. Strowman did several impressive things, such as a Powerslam on Mark Henry, lifting and sending Brock Lesnar through a table, a ring-wrecking Superplex on Big Show, and he even lifted an ambulance.
