Top 10 Most Hated Pro Wrestlers
-
Roman Reigns
Leati Joseph "Joe" Anoaʻi was born on May 25, 1985. He is an American professional wrestler and a former professional Canadian football player. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name Roman Reigns.... read more
This non-ending push for Reigns is so bad that it made Cena drop from #1 on this list. This guy is so hated, and Vince is still keeping him as a face. I don't get it. This guy skipped the first five years of Cena's hate and jumped straight to his last five years of hate. That should tell you something.
What's worse is that Vince made him beat Taker, which gave him even more hate than ever before. The guy received the loudest boos of all time on the RAW after that Mania. He's over, but he's not liked, which I think WWE is looking for with that kind of reaction.
The never-ending push of Roman Reigns has resulted in the most hostile fan reactions I've ever seen. His move set is limited to the Samoan Drop, Superman Punch, and Spear. This makes every one of his matches boring, and he has no skill on the microphone.

Fandango
Curtis Jonathan Hussey is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Fandango. He was an NXT Tag Team Champion alongside Tyler Breeze, performing under the tag team name Breezango. Hussey and Breeze were released from WWE in June 2021... read more
I absolutely hated this gimmick. In real life, I don't hate him, but this gimmick I deeply hated with a passion.

John Cena
John Felix Anthony Cena Jr. (/ˈsiːnə/. Born April 23, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, rapper, actor, and reality television show host signed to WWE, where he is currently associated with the SmackDown brand.
Cena began his professional wrestling career in 1999 with Ultimate Pro Wrestling... read more
Yes, a guy with his 5 moves of doom. (I'm afraid it could be 4 if the 5 Knuckle Shuffle is not considered a wrestling move). No face turn in 12 years. Just a severely boring gimmick.
There were tons of talented wrestlers in WWE, but yes, they were buried by WWE for Mr. Hustle, Loyalty, Respect. Just a children's hero created by WWE, who never loses. Never does anything wrong. Storyline picked from Bollywood movies.
Horrible in-ring skills, horrible mic skills, doesn't sell the moves of other wrestlers, has a stale gimmick. Anyone over 12 years old or anyone with a brain should be able to tell that he's awful.
-
Dominik Mysterio
He has toilet paper merch with his face on it. Ultimate heel.
-
Sean Waltman
Sean Michael Waltman is an American professional wrestler. He wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation under the ring names 1-2 - 3 Kid and X-Pac intermittently between 1993 and 2002, for World Championship Wrestling as Syxx, and for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling as Syxx-Pac and Sean Waltman. He... read more
He was super hated with his X-Factor faction.
-
The Miz
Michael Gregory "Mike" Mizanin is an American professional wrestler, reality television star, and actor. He is signed to WWE, where he performs under the ring name The Miz. He has been a multi-time champion and a consistent presence on WWE programming since 2004.
Miz isn't awesome at all, so why does his theme song say awesome? I don't get it. The Miz is rubbish. When he enters the ring, it should be rubbish, not awesome. He deserves to be #1 on this list. He would easily get beaten by the worst wrestler, Fandango.
Miz is boo. His skills inside and outside the ring are rubbish as well. Miz is so bad he wouldn't get better than a QUARTER of 1 FANDANGO.
Most Hated in 2011. Played a great role as a heel, better than CM Punk. Began to suck during his face turn. Needs to stay a tweener if he wants his "Awesome" character to work.

Baron Corbin
Thomas Pestock, born September 13, 1984, in Lenexa, Kansas, is an American professional wrestler and former professional football player. He signed with WWE in 2012 and initially competed in their developmental brand, NXT. He made his main roster debut at WrestleMania 32, where he won the André the Giant... read more
A lot of fans hate Baron Corbin. A lot of that heat came from his time as Raw General Manager Elect. Others dislike him because they find him boring.
He is very annoying and thinks that he is the best. In my opinion, Cody Rhodes is the best.
-
Jack Swagger
Donald Jacob "Jack" Hager Jr. is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler. He previously performed in WWE under the ring name Jack Swagger. Hager later competed in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under his real name.
-
Iron Sheik
Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri was a professional wrestler who performed for WWE under the stage name The Iron Sheik. He was a former WWF World Heavyweight Champion and one of the most iconic heels of the 1980s. Vaziri passed away on June 7, 2023.
The Iron Sheik was hated back in the day. He had that foreign wrestler who hates America gimmick.

She is not even a good wrestler!
-
Sgt. Slaughter
Robert Rudolph Remus, better known by his ring name Sgt. Slaughter, is an American semi-retired professional wrestler. He is currently signed with WWE as part of its ambassador program. Slaughter gained fame in the 1980s and early 1990s, including a run as WWE Champion in 1991.
Fans hated him after he came back as an Iraqi sympathizer and fought Hulk Hogan.
-
Austin Theory
WWE booked themselves into a corner when they had him win the Money in the Bank. He is the worst U.S. champion I have ever seen, and I was SO happy to see Rey Mysterio take his title.
-
Wade Barrett
Stuart Alexander "Stu" Bennett is an English professional wrestler, actor, and former bare-knuckle boxer, best known for his time in WWE under the ring name Wade Barrett. He became a commentator for WWE's NXT brand in 2020. Outside wrestling, Bennett has also appeared in several films.

Brock Lesnar
Brock Edward Lesnar (born July 12, 1977) is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler, football player, and mixed martial artist who is currently signed to WWE. He first gained prominence as the youngest WWE Champion in history after winning the title in 2002. He later became the... read more
Lesnar is a bad man, but since beating Goldberg for the title, he has become a joke! Never in the history of wrestling has a champion been given so much leeway to do whatever he wants. He shows up on RAW every six weeks and at pay-per-view events every other month. That gives him an advantage over opponents because he's fresh, and they're banged up.
To me, it takes a lot away from the show when the champ's not there. I'm not crazy about Reigns, but he comes to fight every week, barring a severe injury. Cena was the same way until his acting career took over. This feels like a "slap in the face" to legends like Sammartino and Backlund, who bled WWE. Even Hogan showed up for promos.

Very silly but funny. I get why people hate him - he is a heel who makes things worse and isn't that talented.
-
Maxwell Jacob Friedman
He's not better than anyone - just a talentless loser who can't wrestle, has a punchable face, and if he took my hat and threw it, I'd have him arrested. MJF is the Logan Paul of wrestling.
He is one of the most hated of all time. Heck, he should join The Miz because he's so hated.

JBL
John Charles Layfield (born November 29, 1966), better known by the ring names Bradshaw and JBL, is an American retired professional wrestler and former professional football player. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he held multiple championships including the WWE Championship. Outside wrestling... read more
Fans wanted to see him lose the title every time he was defending it.
Typical arrogant American... That's why I hate him.

Muhammad Hassan
Marc Julian Copani (born June 14, 1977), known in WWE as Muhammad Hassan, is an American former professional wrestler and current school vice principal. He portrayed an Arab American character on WWE television from 2004 to 2005 before retiring from wrestling. Copani later completed a doctorate in education... read more
He shouldn't be hated. On that one day when Taker beat Daivari, that was WWE's fault. He could have become amazing, and he did play on political and religious beliefs, but WWE and Vince McMahon ruined his chances by not handling the "terrorist" attack on Taker better. They should not have done that.
Unfortunate, given how things turned out in real life, but he was genuinely hated by fans.
Sorry, it should say "for not taking that 'terrorist' attack on Taker off the air."

Jonathan Coachman
Jonathan William Coachman, also known as "The Coach", is a sports interviewer and commentator. He previously worked for ESPN and also served in various on-air roles with WWE, including commentator and interviewer. As of now, he is no longer affiliated with WWE.
