Is it safe to say that Brock Lesnar has the best resume of all-time talent he's faced? His opponents have spanned many different generations of the company.
Here's a few for example:
Ric Flair Hulk Hogan The Undertaker The Rock John Cena Randy Orton Edge Eddie Guererro Kurt Angle The Big Show Mr. McMahon Chris Benoit Rey Mysterio Goldberg Triple H CM Punk Seth Rollins Dean Ambrose Roman Reigns AJ Styles Daniel Bryan Bobby Lashley
Maybe only Triple H would have a more impressive list, as he's also faced everyone on that list minus Styles and Lashley, plus extras against legendary stars like Austin, Sting, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Batista, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash.
Upon that point, maybe it is Triple H who has the most star studded resume of opponents faced?

Probably the Undertaker?
He's faced Kerry Von Erich through to AJ Styles.

Orton might be up there too. He’s faced:
Ric Flair Hulk Hogan Rock (sort of) Mick Foley HBK Eddie Guerrero Chris Benoit Undertaker HHH John Cena Batista Edge CM Punk Daniel Bryan AJ Styles Bobby Lashley Seth Rollins Dean Ambrose Roman Reigns Riddle Kevin Owens Drew McIntyre

I mean, Edge is also up there, no? It’s probably Edge, Triple H, Orton, Taker, Lesnar, Cena in terms of quality of opponent.

Current roster, Mysterio’s got to be up on that list.

In just two nights (three matches) alone, Chris Jericho not only faces but beats Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Roddy Piper, Ricky Steamboat, and Jimmy Snuka.
Jericho gives you matches vs. Flair, Michaels, Cena, Undertaker, Foley, Goldberg, HHH, Cena, Booker, Steiner, DDP, Nash, Hall, Tanahashi, Okada, Naito, Moxley, Reigns, Rollins, Punk, Omega, Rey, Eddie, Benoit, Angle, Shane Douglas, RVD, Raven, Liger, Ohtani, even Lesnar via a house show 20 years ago. He covers significant eras in WCW, WWE, New Japan, ECW, CMLL, AEW and more.
Bret Hart is a notable omission by his own reckoning, but if you want to get technical, Jericho/Edge vs. Cena/Hart happened on the go-home Raw before Summerslam 2010 (Bret never tags in, it's a no contest when Nexus attacks after a few exchanges between Edge/Jericho and Cena, with that great ending where Edge and Jericho come back to help fight off the Nexus).
Sting is a big one, but also still technically possible.

Can't imagine anyone beating Jericho.
Although Regal had to be up there as he got the tail end of UK stars, many Japanese legends (including Inoki) and a large percentage of the top guys in wcw and WWE including Hogan, Rock and Austin.
Although below most of these I'll mention Rene Dupree because I find his career fascinating and he'll have an interesting mix. Mostly for Japanese legends I don't know enough about but includes Muta, Liger and Chono. Plus the likes of Sgt Slaughter, Taker, Goldberg, Cena, CM Punk, Danielson etc. I suspect Gallows and Anderson are similar, Gallows even faced the Great Power Uti which few can say.

Probably the Undertaker? He's faced Kerry Von Erich through to AJ Styles. As masked rookie grappler Texas Red he took a beating from Bruiser Brody, I saw it on a WCCW syndicated show.

Not that it's the best list, but The Ultimate Warrior had a pretty impressive number of legendary opponents given his short time as an active wrestler...
Hulk Hogan Randy Savage Andre The Giant Ted DiBiase Curt Hennig Bret Hart (technically...) Sgt Slaughter The Iron Sheik The Undertaker Rick Rude Kamala Goldust Ric Flair Haku HHH Jerry Lawler Owen Hart Issac Yankem (Kane) Vader Bobby Heenan Demolition (Ax, Smash and Crush) Dino Bravo Earthquake Hercules The Honky Tonk Man Nailz Big Bossman Orlando Jordan Papa Shango Rick Martel

Just based on the length of his career and being a top guy for basically all of it I'd have to think Flair has quite a list. Traveling NWA champion, worked with all the top WWF guys in the early 90's. WCW in the mid to late 90's. WWE guys. He's got like 50 years of opponents.
