Best WWE High Flyers

The Top Ten
1 Rey Mysterio Óscar Gutiérrez, better known by the ring name Rey Mysterio, is a Mexican-American professional wrestler who currently works for WWE on the Smackdown brand.

He mentored Sin Cara. One of the greatest high flyers. He's skilled in the arts of high aerial attacks. Another thing is that he seems unafraid of crashing or having injuries. His courage and skill rank him number one on this list.

Hands down, Rey has to be the best high flyer in the history of WWE. Many luchadores were as good as him, but he was able to make the transition into American wrestling and revolutionize the look of it.

Rey is one of three people who proved that high-flying is so much more captivating than powerhouse or technical matches. The other two are Shawn Michaels and Eddie Guerrero.

2 Jeff Hardy Jeffrey Nero "Jeff" Hardy is an American professional wrestler, singer-songwriter, painter and musician.

He's the best high flyer of all time. He had very good balance on his feet and could do dozens of exclusive high-flying moves with ease. Not only his finishing move, but almost all his moves are high-flying. I don't see any point why others should even be comparable to him, only with a top rope finisher.

Tina Turner said it best: Simply the best, better than all the rest.

Nobody, not even Rey, puts his life on the line as often as Jeff. Nobody can do the high-risk moves that Jeff does. In Jeff's younger days, he made Rey look like he was standing still.

3 Sin Cara Sin Cara is a professional wrestling character used by WWE, currently portrayed by Jorge Arias, also known as Hunico.

I have never seen moves like Sin Cara's. I wish he would return to WWE. Even his entrance is amazing. Which wrestler in the history of WWE can jump over the rope and land on his upper back without hurting himself? That is what I call talent.

Sin Cara is the best high flyer ever in WWE history. He is better than all the superstars in WWE. He can do many moves that other superstars can't. He is the best high flyer in the world.

If Sin Cara loses another match for the Intercontinental Championship, we, the people of Pakistan, will say goodbye to WWE forever. Why can't he fulfill our hopes?

4 Evan Bourne Matthew Joseph Korklan, also known by the ring name Matt Sydal, is an American professional wrestler currently signed to Impact Wrestling, where he is a former Impact Grand Champion and the current Impact X Division champion in his first reign. He is best known for his time in WWE under the ring name... read more

He's a born high flyer and should have had more showtime on WWE. I'm sure he would have been 2nd or 3rd place if they had kept him longer. WWE let go of an awesome high flyer, and that's their problem. But this guy was and still is a legend!

Evan Bourne has a talent that other superstars don't have. Since he made his WWE debut in 2007, he has done some amazing things. If ECW had been around longer, he could have won the title easily. Well said.

Amazing high flyer that never got to really showcase his ability. WWE failed him and should have kept him for longer.

5 Rob Van Dam Robert Alex "Rob" Szatkowski, better known by his ring name Rob Van Dam, is an American professional wrestler and occasional actor.

RVD is a great superstar. He truly deserves to be in the top 50 WWE superstars list. It is very sad to see that RVD was not on the list. But for me, RVD is the best!

Seriously? You put Evan Bourne above Rob Van Dam just because he has a decent finisher? Dude, have you even seen his matches with not only Jeff Hardy but in ECW?

RVD is just awesome. I like the Rolling Thunder, but the Five Star Frog Splash is just so awesome. By the way, he jumps in almost every match, so he has to be at number one.

6 Kofi Kingston Kofi Nahaje Sarkodie-Mensah is a Ghanaian-American professional wrestler. He is signed to WWE under the ring name Kofi Kingston, in which he is a member of The New Day along with teammates Big E and Xavier Woods.

Please vote for this man after watching these matches:

1. 2008 Kofi vs. Christian
2. 2006 Kofi vs. MVP
3. 2011 Money in the Bank Ladder Match
4. 2014 Royal Rumble Match
5. Kofi vs. Sheamus Table Match

These matches show his great high-flying movements and his techniques. I know after watching this, you will vote for him. His moves are greater than John Morrison's, RVD's, and Sin Cara's flying maneuvers. Jeff Hardy does not have a flying finisher.

Kofi Kingston is the best high flyer of them all. Once, he dived from the top of the Hell in a Cell cage and jumped to Orton. I was shocked because that was at least 95 feet, and he jumped. Jeff Hardy is a high flyer, but his finisher is not even a high-flying move. His moves are a little short, but Kofi is a real high flyer.

7 Adrian Neville

Really? Honestly, the best high flyers are Adrian Neville, Kofi Kingston, RVD, Rey Mysterio, and definitely the new Rey Mysterio, Kalisto. Look up the Lucha Dragons and New Day vs. Cesaro and Kidd and The Ascension, and you'll see.

Neville should be number one on this list, especially with all his spaceman moonsaults, corkscrews, and shooting stars. Do not forget the Red Arrow.

All the top 10 guys deserve the spot except RVD. Neville is the one you should replace RVD with. Neville has quite good athleticism, and he deserves a spot in the top 5.

8 AJ Styles Allen Neal Jones, better known by the ring name AJ Styles, is an American professional wrestler currently signed to WWE.

Why is the Phenomenal One so low on this list?

9 John Morisson

I think Morrison should get more votes than this. He had new moves every week while in WWE. To me, Starship Pain is the best finisher in the history of WWE. How he leaps from the third rope and flips so many times is amazing.

John Morrison... I didn't vote for him because of WWE. I voted for him because he is fantastic in Impact Wrestling under the ring name Johnny Impact. He will have a global title match against Eli Drake at Bound for Glory, and that is not an insult. That is just a fact of life, Eli!

Dude, he is way better than Chavo Guerrero, man! Chavo can do the frog splash, but John Morrison can do Starship Pain, and he can do parkour. Can Chavo do that? No!

10 Tyson Kidd Theodore James "TJ" Wilson is a Canadian professional wrestler signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Tyson Kidd.

This guy is awesome and is trained by the Hart Dungeon. His signature move, the Sharpshooter, is my favorite move that makes someone tap out.

I like Tyson Kidd. He is just amazing.

The Contenders
11 Justin Gabriel

Not sure how he is so far down this list. I mean, lower than Matt Hardy, really? Matt's not a bad wrestler, but I was always confused as to how people considered him a high flyer.

Seriously, I mean, why is this guy so far down this list? He has an epic finisher, the 450 Splash.

He really should be higher, like at least 5th. He is awesome. He is a skydiver.

12 Jimmy Superfly Snuka

This man defined high flying. He should be number one. How can a man who jumped off a 20-foot steel cage not be ranked higher? It is incredible! He should be ranked much higher than this!

Jimmy is an amazing high flyer, especially at the end of the tag team championship match. When we say US, y'all say O!

Jimmy Snuka... I mean, wow! The man jumped off 15 to 20 feet of the steel cage. His Superfly Splash - you gotta give some credit for that.

13 Paul London Paul Michael London is an American professional wrestler, best known for his time with WWE and NWA-TNA.
14 Seth Rollins Colby Lopez is an American professional wrestler and actor who is signed to WWE under the ring name Seth Rollins. He is the Current Intercontinental Champion.
15 Ricky The Dragon Steamboat Richard Henry Blood Sr., better known by his ring name Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, is an American retired professional wrestler.
16 Chris Jericho Christopher Keith Irvine, better known by the ring name Chris Jericho, is a Canadian-American professional wrestler, musician, media personality, actor, author, and businessman, currently signed to AEW.

Chris Jericho is the best. He jumps on the ropes and does a backflip. I mean, seriously, CM Punk does that too!

I think Jericho is a high flyer when it comes to his finishing move, the Codebreaker.

17 Billy Kidman Peter Alan Gruner Jr. is a retired American professional wrestler and wrestling producer, better known by his ring name Billy Kidman.
18 Eddie Guerrero Eduardo Gory "Eddie" Guerrero Llanes, was a Mexican-American professional wrestler and a member of the Guerrero wrestling family.

I think he definitely deserves to be on this list. Moreover, he had something that everyone on this list lacks, i.e., charisma. Eddie was a complete package with a blend of high-flying technical (not botched up) moves, in-ring storytelling capability, and microphone skills.

How can Jimmy Wang Yang, Matt Hardy, Tyson Kidd, and Kofi Kingston rank higher than Eddie?

Hey, Eddie Guerrero is the one who beat Rey, so he should be number 1.

19 Kalisto Emanuel Alejandro Rodriguez is a Mexican-American professional wrestler, best known for his time in WWE where he performed under the ring name Kalisto. He was released from WWE in April 2021.

I think Kalisto is one of the best high flyers today. His finishing move, the Salida Del Sol, is really effective and, in my opinion, one of the best.

20 Jimmy Wang Yang
21 Shawn Michaels Shawn Michaels was born on July 22, 1965 . He is an American professional wrestler. He is the first wrestler to win all the titles the WWE could have offered.

23 Jimmy and Jey Uso
