Pro Wrestling Illustrated has now revealed its annual PWI 500 list for 2022.

Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns took the top spot this year. This is the second time that the Tribal Chief has topped the PWI 500, with Reigns also awarded the #1 spot in 2016. Reigns had taken home the #2 spot in the 2021 list.
