Okay, so I got curious the other day about something kinda niche: who’s the oldest wrestler still throwing down in WWE? I mean, these guys are athletes, but Father Time catches up to everyone, right?
Digging for Answers
First, I fired up Google. Just a simple search, you know? “oldest active wwe wrestler” was my go-to phrase. I scrolled through a bunch of articles and fan forums. There was a lot of back and forth, some names that kept popping up, but nothing super concrete.

Then I decided to go straight to the source. I headed over to the official WWE website. I figured their roster page would have the most up-to-date info. It took a little poking around, but I eventually found a way to sort the wrestlers by different categories.
- I am looking for the oldest active wrestler so I need to find the date of birth of each wrestler.
I must spent a ton of time on each wrestler’s page. I checked their date of birth. I made a simple list of their names and Date of Birth. Finally, I got the oldest one.
The Big Reveal (Sort Of)
R-Truth, born on January 19, 1972.I found he is currently the oldest active wrestler.
It’s pretty cool to see these veterans still going at it. It just shows that age doesn’t necessarily have to be a barrier if you stay in shape and, you know, maybe have a little bit of that wrestling magic!
