The 2010s was a peculiar decade for WWE. With the PG Era in full swing and an aging Vince McMahon at the helm, much of the heart of WWE felt missing. Corny storylines, a seemingly big lack of care in the product, consistent slaps in the face to fans, and more filled up the years between 2010 and 2019.

There were several big stars in the company though across both the men’s and women’s divisions, with the women’s revolution in full swing in the latter half of the decade and some notable debuts too, not to mention a heavy presence in part time legends. Some wrestlers were pushed more than others, and we will look at the wrestlers who scored the most victories every single year of the decade. This will give a good idea of who the most featured and successful wrestlers were in each year.

John Cena Was WWE’s Top Babyface In 2010

John Cena Victories In 2010: 129

WWE’s push of John Cena as the ‘Superman’ of the company was relentless, and in 2010 he was beating everyone. He won a WrestleMania feud against Batista and feuded throughout the latter half of the year with The Nexus.

His battles with Wade Barrett and his cronies brought Cena a large number of wins as he buried the young faction to the point where Barrett’s main event potential expired and the group went down as one of WWE’s biggest failures.

John Cena Dominated In 2011 Despite CM Punk’s Rise

John Cena Victories In 2011: 165

2011 was an interesting year for WWE, as CM Punk toppled John Cena as the company’s most marketable babyace, if only briefly. However, Cena was still the biggest winner with 165 wins – a bunch more than the previous year.

Cena scored multiple reigns as WWE Champion, defeating the likes of The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, R-Truth, and more throughout the year. He did suffer some big losses too, but for the most part he was once again a serial winner.

Sheamus’ Babyface Run In 2012 Brought Him A Lot Of Success

Sheamus Victories In 2012: 193

Sheamus turned babyface at the back end of 2011, setting him up for a big year of wins in 2012. He kicked the year off by winning the Royal Rumble match, before going on to win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. He was the top babyface on SmackDown, going on a lengthy reign with the gold.

Sheamus defended his title on PPV against names like Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio, Chris Jericho, Daniel Bryan, and others who came his way for the title.

2013 Was Daniel Bryan’s Big Breakout Year In WWE

Daniel Bryan Victories In 2013: 185

Daniel Bryan’s rise in 2013 was thrilling, steadily gaining more popularity due to his incredible character work and infectious “Yes” chant. At SummerSlam 2013, he scored his biggest victory of the whole year against John Cena, which was one of his incredible 185 wins during the 12 months.

He had two reigns as WWE Champion, taking over from Cena throughout the latter half of 2013 as the number one good guy in the whole company.

Jimmy Uso Surprisingly Won The Most Matches In 2014

Jimmy Uso Victories In 2014: 144

Although The Usos were far from their peak in WWE, 2014 saw Jimmy & Jey rise up the tag team division as loveable smiling babyfaces with bright colors. In 2014, they scored more wins than most, but it was Jimmy who just about edged it with 144 victories.

Jimmy had more singles matches than Jey in 2014, putting him ahead of not only his brother, but everyone else on the roster too. The pair won their first WWE Tag Team Championship in 2014.

Roman Reigns Was Pushed Hard By WWE In 2015

Roman Reigns Victories In 2015: 187

When The Shield broke up, it was Roman Reigns who was handpicked by WWE to be the next big star of the company, and 2015 was the year in which Vince McMahon put his push into full throttle. A Royal Rumble win, a WrestleMania main event, and two reigns as WWE Champion made up his year, in which he picked up 187 wins.

Unfortunately, fans were not on board with Reigns’ push, booing him out of arenas and not offering nice reactions to his victories.

Fans Rejected Roman Reigns Despite His Number Of Wins In 2016

Roman Reigns Victories In 2016: 142

In 2016, WWE continued Reigns’ babyface push, covering him gold and putting him in main events through the first half of the year (including an awful WrestleMania show-closer with Triple H). Despite a suspension and dropping the WWE Title, Reigns still picked up 142 victories, which was more than anyone else.

He dropped down into the midcard for a little while, defeating Rusev to become the United States Champion. Even though he lost a few matches here and there, his losses to the likes of Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Kevin Owens came few and far between.

Dean Ambrose Was WWE’s Workhorse In 2017

Dean Ambrose Victories In 2017: 143

Despite his WWE Championship reign coming the year prior, Dean Ambrose was very busy in 2017, and found his way to becoming the biggest winner of the whole year. The year began with him becoming Intercontinental Champion, fending off the likes of The Miz, Kevin Owens and Baron Corbin.

He reunited with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns to reform The Shield too, which brought him a lot of wins as the year drew to a close.

AJ Styles Victories In 2018: 137

In 2018, AJ Styles spent most of the year as the WWE Champion. Through this dominant run with the gold, Styles defeated the likes of Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, Rusev, Daniel Bryan, and more.

He was the top guy on SmackDown during this year, though some of the booking of his reign did leave a lot to be desired, with repetitive feuds and a lack of main event matches on PPVs, taking a backseat to the Universal Title.

2019 Saw Seth Rollins Rise As A Big Babyface

Seth Rollins Victories In 2019: 115

It took a little time for Seth Rollins to hit the ground running as a good guy, but he rose to the top in 2019 in a year which saw him pick up a lot of wins on the RAW brand. Rollins won the Royal Rumble and defeated Brock Lesnar at both WrestleMania and SummerSlam to win two Universal Championships.

He was a dominant force over RAW, though things came crashing down following an awful Hell In A Cell match with Bray Wyatt and a much needed heel turn due to fans growing tired of his time as a good guy.

Despite His Career Slowing Down, John Cena Won The Most In The 2010s

Total John Cena Victories In The 2010s: 966

Even though WWE underwent a lot of transition throughout the 2010s, and despite the rise of babyfaces such as Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and Roman Reigns, it was still John Cena who won the most matches of the entire decade.

His career began to wind down in the latter part of the decade with less matches every year, but he piled up so many victories in the first part of the decade that this decline didn’t matter when it comes to his overall tally.
