Below is our list of the 30 best pro wrestlers under the age of 30. The rankings were based on merit rather than on future potential, which is far more subjective. The criteria included drawing power; popularity; skills; position on the roster; and accomplishments, including championships and tournament victories. About a dozen different promotions are represented in some way over multiple countries.

I mean it is kayfabe-ish, but it is more about what HAVE you done rather than what you WILL (possibly) do. I'd probably move Theory down a bit (probably move him to like 8 and everyone up one) but I got no issues with it.

I guess what helps Theory then, since it’s Kayfabe (so that takes out how bad the match was) a win over Cena is pretty good in kayfabe and a big accomplishment.

The list is in Kayfabe, but even by that standard it is still funny since a lot of these wrestlers should be higher and some be lower
