This is a list of professional wrestlers, managers and other workers that were employed in World Wrestling Entertainment from:

  • 1952–1963 (as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation)
  • 1963–1979 (as the World Wide Wrestling Federation)
  • 1979–2002 (as the World Wrestling Federation)
  • 2002–present time (as World Wrestling Entertainment)

This list is in chronological order. Wrestlers who only worked in the developmental territory (Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), house shows or dark matches don't belong on the list. Superstars who were released but later returned also aren't on the list. If the word "Unknown" appears in the real name section, that means the real name is needed.
