The 20 Smartest Superstars in History

BY Bobby Melok & Anthony Benigno

Many people think WWE Superstars and Divas are all muscle and no brains. While the rigors of in-ring competition do require a great deal of strength and athletic ability, the men and women who do battle in the squared circle each week aren’t just your average meatheads.

In fact, the WWE locker room has included Harvard-educated lawyers, Wall Street millionaires, tax accountants, teachers and more. Whether they came to WWE from the classroom, the courtroom or anywhere else, these 20 Superstars are among the most intelligent in history. But who received the highest marks of all? Page through WWE’s honor roll and find out.

The 20 Smartest Superstars in History

#20 Alberto Del Rio

The Mexican Aristocrat has no problems flaunting his wealth in front of the WWE Universe, showing off his fleet of expensive cars. While he was born into the money that allows him to possess such a convoy, it’s his intelligence inside and outside the ring that gives Alberto Del Rio the ability to add to it.

Since his arrival in WWE, Del Rio has outsmarted numerous Superstars, showing off an impressive knowledge of submission wrestling and a mean streak to match. When he won the WWE Title Money in the Bank Contract in 2011, he carefully analyzed every moment until the right opportunity came along for him to cash in and defeat CM Punk for the WWE Title at last year’s SummerSlam.
