Obviously, wrestling is much more than brute strength, but no one can deny that it's amazing to see a wrestler do a feat of strength. The heel is often the strongest, a big guy with muscles and a scary look, while the babyface is the charismatic underdog who has to give his best effort to win.

However, this is not always the case, and throughout WWE history there have been several incredibly strong babyfaces who make the heel the underdog. Below we take a look at the 10 physically strongest babyfaces in WWE history, ranked.
11 Hulk Hogan
When we talk about strong babyfaces, Hulk Hogan always comes to mind, as he was one of the strongest wrestlers of his time. The Hulkster displayed his strength throughout his entire career, as having a limited moveset, his strength was his main tool. Obviously, Hulk Hogan's most impressive feat of strength was when he performed a Body Slam on Andre The Giant, which is one of the most iconic moments in WWE history.
10 The Rock
The Rock always had a tremendous physique, he was always a strong wrestler, but when The Rock made his WWE comeback in 2011, his physique was pretty much perfect. Big muscles, extraordinary strength, to complement his charismatic personality. The Most Electrifying Man in sports entertainment is also one of the physically strongest babyfaces in WWE history, without a doubt. It's a real shame that this version of The Rock couldn't have a full-time WWE run.
9 Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar was heel for most of his career, but at least nowadays he has played the babyface role and played it excellently, by the way. Despite looking and acting like a beast, Brock managed to show his charisma and endear himself to the fans. Brock was born to be a dominant heel, an ultimate boss, but he proved that he can be a great babyface, one of the strongest in WWE history. Lesnar has done many impressive things in his career, like suplexing the Big Show, and a shark as well.
8 Big E
Just by looking at Big E's biceps we realize that he is very strong. By watching him in action, there is no doubt about his strength. Over the years, Big E has become one of the best powerhouse wrestlers out there, performing power spots with ease.

In fact, with his finishing move, The Big Ending, he has lifted several big men such as Bobby Lashley, Braun Strowman, Baron Corbin and Brock Lesnar. And if you still have any doubts, WWE uploaded a video to their YouTube channel of Big E doing a bench press, which is truly impressive.
7 Batista
Batista's face turn in 2005 was shocking. Some fans consider it to be one of the most important face turns in WWE history. Batista simply nailed it as a babyface, with an amazing look, great character work, and charisma to get the fans behind him. He eventually ended up becoming a terrific World Champion. Batista was an animal, very intense in the ring, using his brute strength to dominate his opponents, and the fans loved that.
6 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley is a perfect dominant heel, with an intimidating appearance, and a destructive power that very few wrestlers possess. However, Bobby has also been a good babyface, especially at present, living the best moment of his career, enjoying the genuine love of the fans. Bobby has tremendous strength, he can lift anyone on the roster, and he can also destroy them all. The All Mighty has one of the most impressive physiques out there, and it looks like he has muscle even in his veins.
5 Goldberg
Goldberg has always had a limited moveset, but that didn't stop him from becoming a sports entertainment icon. The vast majority of Goldberg's matches were one or two-minute squash matches, consisting of a lethal combination of Spear and Jackhammer to finish his opponents.

Impressively, Goldberg hit that combination on pretty much all of his opponents, regardless of their size or weight. Goldberg performed his powerful jackhammer against wrestlers like The Big Show, Mark Henry and Brock Lesnar, and he did it with ease.
4 Cesaro
A Giant Swing on The Great Khali, a Body Slam on The Big Show, a Neutralizer on Mark Henry, those are things only Cesaro was able to do. This guy has insane strength, despite not having big muscles like other superstars. Cesaro was one of the strongest heels, one of the strongest babyfaces, he was simply one of the strongest wrestlers in WWE history. Every time The Swiss Superman is in the ring, fans expect to see something extraordinary.
3 John Cena
John Cena is arguably the greatest babyface in WWE history, an incredibly charismatic guy, with excellent promo skills and great in-ring work, highlighting his extraordinary strength. John Cena performed his Attitude adjustment on big men like the Big Show, Viscera, Mark Henry, The Great Khali, Brock Lesnar and Braun Strowman, leaving fans with their mouths agape. It certainly gave the impression at times that these men were levitating, but no, it was John Cena who lifted them up. But this is not surprising, since John Cena never gives up.
2 Andre The Giant
When you think of giants in WWE history, you immediately think of Andre The Giant. Suffering from the disease known as Acromegaly, Andre's body never stopped growing which caused him to be an absolutely massive and strong human being.
Simply observing the size of his hands, feet and head of Andre, you knew he wasn't a normal man. He made other impressively massive and strong wrestlers look like children and there are very few men stupid enough to test the giant. Although his failing health near the end of his life caused his strength to decline, at his peak there was nobody who could touch Andre.
1 Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman was both heel and babyface, so we can immediately say that he is one of the strongest babyfaces in WWE history, probably the strongest. Have you ever seen someone lift an ambulance before? Well, Braun Strowman did it once. Also, Strowman lifted a truck, yes, you read that right. After doing things like that, it's no surprise that Strowman destroyed wrestlers like Brock Lesnar, The Big Show, Kane, and Roman Reigns, even destroying the ring on more than one occasion. Strowman has the strength of a monster.
