Top 10 Scariest WWE Wrestlers

1. The Undertaker

   

   Mark William Calaway (born March 24, 1965), better known by his ring name The Undertaker, is a retired American professional wrestler who joined WWE in 1990. Calaway began his career in 1984 with World Class Championship Wrestling and briefly wrestled in World Championship Wrestling as "Mean" Mark Callous... read more

   Undertaker's "buried alive" promo gave me nightmares as a kid. A truly scary wrestler with a well-designed character.

   He's deadly. He dug 29 holes for 29 souls, just in case, and the last one he dug was for Roman Reigns when he loses at Wrestlemania.

   He's the Undertaker... Yeah, be afraid!

   And why the hell is bloody John Cena on the list? I mean, what the hell? REALLY!

2. Kane

   

   Glenn Thomas Jacobs is an American professional wrestler, businessman, actor, and politician. He is signed to WWE and is best known by his ring name, Kane. Jacobs has served as the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, since he was elected in 2018.

   Kane hands down was the scariest, most intimidating, destructive force in wrestling history. Kane and Undertaker can't be judged against each other because both were terrifying and evil-minded. Kane, with his original mask, made his character so mysterious and terrifying because no one could see his hideous face. Going on his night of Destruction was one of my all-time favorite moments in all of wrestling. Even when both Kane and Undertaker went on a night of destruction and broke the Boss's leg, it was memorable.

   So, Kane gets my vote as the scariest wrestler in WWE history.

   Kane looked scarier than The Undertaker in that mask. If you don't believe me, look at the video: Kane confronts The Undertaker on YouTube.

3. The Boogeyman

   

   I wasn't scared of the Boogeyman when I was younger, but I did get grossed out when he ate the worms and shoved worms into other people's mouths.

   I am the Boogeyman! And I am gonna get you!

   I'm the Boogeyman, and I'm going to get you!

4. Jake Roberts

   

   Aurelian Smith Jr., born on May 30, 1955, is better known by the ring name Jake "The Snake" Roberts. He is an American professional wrestler and actor. He is often credited with inventing the DDT, a wrestling move that has become a standard maneuver in the industry.

5. Gangrel

   

   David William Heath is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances in the World Wrestling Federation from 1998 to 2001 and intermittently throughout the mid-2000s under the ring name Gangrel. His vampire-inspired gimmick and entrance became cult favorites among wrestling fans... read more

6. Bray Wyatt

   

   Windham Lawrence Rotunda (May 23, 1987 - August 24, 2023) was an American professional wrestler. He performed in WWE under the ring name Bray Wyatt and was a third-generation wrestler, following the legacy of his grandfather Blackjack Mulligan, father Mike Rotunda, and uncles Barry and Kendall Windham... read more

   Bray Wyatt is an amazing wrestler, both in the ring and in promos. The Fiend carries on the legacy of Undertaker and Kane by scaring a newer generation of wrestling fans with his uncanny body movements and intimidating appearance.

   Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt family are a creepy bunch. Whenever I watch them, I think about the Waco Siege and religious cults.

7. André the Giant

   

   André René Roussimoff (May 19, 1946 - January 28, 1993), better known as André the Giant, was a French professional wrestler and actor dubbed "the Eighth Wonder of the World." He began wrestling in France in 1966 and became a major attraction in North America from the early 1970s through the 1980s, headlining... read more

   Anyone who thinks otherwise should simply imagine standing next to Andre. Just the thought of it alone is intimidating, considering his 7'4" height and his 550-600 pound physique. I am very confused as to how the Boogeyman is above Andre in this list (as of now at least).

   A real-life giant, Andre remains one of the most physically intimidating wrestlers to this day. Although he may not be traditionally scary, he certainly is physically.

8. Abdullah the Butcher

   

   Lawrence Robert Shreve (born January 11, 1941), better known by the ring name Abdullah the Butcher, is a Canadian retired professional wrestler. He has a reputation for being involved in some of the most violent and bloody hardcore wrestling matches of all time.... read more

   I've never seen him wrestle, but I saw photos, and that man is truly psychotic.

9. 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

   He's unstoppable. He took out many superstars, including Triple H. I wonder if he gets a chance to face CM Punk soon. That'll be awesome.

10. Mankind

    

    Michael Francis Foley, born June 7, 1965, is an American comedian, author, and retired professional wrestler. He is signed to All Elite Wrestling. Foley wrestled under his real name and several personas, including Mankind, Cactus Jack, and Dude Love, and is known for his hardcore wrestling style.

    Mankind was creepy. I feel like this mentally insane persona really inspired a lot of future wrestlers in the business.

    Just the things he can do in Hell In A Cell are absolutely horrific.

    The socks! Mick is a deep man. His theme is kinda sad and creepy at the beginning, but he was deeply emotional.

The Newcomers

    Braun Strowman

    

    Adam Scherr is an American professional wrestler and former strongman best known for performing under the ring name Braun Strowman during his tenure with WWE. In WWE, he held the Universal Championship once and the Intercontinental Championship once. He also held the Raw Tag Team Championship twice.

    Braun Strowman is a very strong WWE wrestler. He's pretty tall, and his match with Brock Lesnar and Kane was intense. Brock won, but then Braun and Kane got mad, and Kane started attacking Brock.

    They went into the WWE studio to fight, and Braun came in, pulling the steel structures and bringing them down on Brock and Kane. He almost killed them!

    He is the Monster Among Men, and he can destroy like he did in the Elimination Chamber. He lost in the 2018 Elimination Chamber, but he eliminated Miz, Elias, John Cena, Finn Balor, and Seth Rollins. He ultimately lost to Roman Reigns, but he eliminated 6 out of 7 competitors.

    He is a monster. Don't try to mess with him!

    Luke Harper

    

    Jonathan Huber (December 16, 1979 - December 26, 2020) was an American professional wrestler best known for his WWE run as Luke Harper from 2012 to 2019. He was a one-time NXT Tag Team Champion alongside Erick Rowan and later formed the Bludgeon Brothers with Rowan. During his WWE career, he held the... read more

The Contenders

13. The Sheik

    

14. Papa Shango

    

    I remember when I was watching old pay-per-views, and I got so creeped and grossed out when he put the curse on Ultimate Warrior.

    His appearance is all it takes to scare someone.

15. Mark Henry

    

    Mark Jerrold Henry is an American former powerlifter, Olympic weightlifter, strongman, and professional wrestler. He is a former World Heavyweight Champion in WWE. Henry was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018.

    He's gonna whoop your ass, and that's what he does.

    The time he went up against the Big Show and made the ring implode was awesome!

16. Snitsky

17. Nicole Bass

    Edward Smith Fatu, known as Umaga, was an American Samoan professional wrestler who lived from March 28, 1973, to December 4, 2009. He was best known for his time in WWE, where he performed as Jamal from 2002 to 2003 and as Umaga from 2006 to 2009. He was a two-time WWE Intercontinental Champion and... read more

    The way he's able to take on pretty much anyone made him a one-man killing machine.

23. John Cena

    

    John Felix Anthony Cena (born April 23, 1977) is an American actor, retired professional wrestler, and former rapper. After retiring from in-ring competition in December 2025, he remained signed with WWE as a brand ambassador.... read more

He became WCW World Heavyweight Champion in 1998 and later won the WWE Universal Championship in 2017. Goldberg has appeared in television series such as... read more

    His signature move, the Jackhammer, is surprisingly strong.

25. Sid Vicious

    

    Sidney Raymond Eudy is an American professional wrestler best known for his tenures in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He wrestled under the ring names Sid Justice, Sid Vicious, and Sycho Sid. He is recognized for his impact on the industry.

    Sid Vicious is so physically intimidating, 6'9, 325 lbs, alleged natural physique, MEAN DUDE. He also takes as much as he gives out.

26. Kevin Sullivan

    

27. Sting

    

    Steve Borden, better known by his ring name Sting, is an American retired professional wrestler, actor, and author. He was previously a bodybuilder. Sting is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, with a career spanning several decades in promotions such as WCW, TNA... read more

    Just the way he answered Triple H's question terrified me.

    He is scary because his crow theme makes him frightening. If Undertaker versus Sting happens sometime, I would probably choose both because Taker is also my favorite wrestler.

    His gimmick with the crows and stuff gives me a mix of both Tim Burton and Alfred Hitchcock vibes.
