Top 10 Worst WWE Wrestlers of All Time

Not every WWE wrestler can be a legend. For every Stone Cold or Undertaker, there are plenty of forgettable, awkward, or just plain terrible wrestlers who never quite figured it out. Some had all the hype but couldn't wrestle to save their lives. Others were boring, clumsy, or impossible to take seriously. And then there are the ones WWE pushed way too hard despite the fact that nobody wanted to see them in the ring.

This list is all about those wrestlers who made you groan when their music hit. Maybe they had a ridiculous gimmick, no personality, or moves that looked weaker than a light shove. Maybe they botched everything or just looked completely lost in the ring. Whatever the reason, they left you wondering how they even made it to WWE in the first place.

So who do you think deserves to be ranked the worst of the worst? Scroll through, cast your votes, and see where your picks land.

1. 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

   He totally sucks because WWE lets Cena win most of the Championships. Even if someone defeats him clean in a Championship, WWE will immediately announce a rematch and let Cena win in order to get his title back. That proves how much he is greedy for titles! His wrestling skills are okay, but he gets too much push that he doesn't deserve. He doesn't allow anyone to get above him. WWE makes him win most of the matches.

   Besides, he is not at all a great entertainer. It is getting really boring seeing him as a 'Superman,' dominating and beating 10 or 20 wrestlers in the ring. It doesn't look natural at all! He is getting really overrated!

2. 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.

   Once a WrestleMania main eventer (horrible decision), that's overshadowed by John Cena and The Rock. Then months later, he's lower than mid-card. The Miz is inconsistent with his character - he's horrible as a babyface and as a heel. This is a mid-carder that has no substance, no entertainment factor, and no originality. All that it takes to be the worst of the worst!

   At best, he's a semi-decent wrestler. The fact that he's getting more TV time than people who deserve it much more than him pisses me off.

3. The Great Khali

   

   Dalip Singh Rana, better known by his ring name The Great Khali, is an Indian promoter, actor, powerlifter, and professional wrestler best known for his time with WWE. He debuted with WWE in 2006 and became the first Indian world champion in WWE history. After retiring from full-time wrestling, he was... read more

   If you're an expert at wrestling, you would know that this guy is a fraud. Just because he has a taller frame than most wrestlers doesn't mean he's necessarily better or stronger. He could get knocked out by someone half his height because he's clumsy and has a disadvantage when he's in a match.

   He is strong, but he is getting too old. He has had so many health problems recently. He is just not that good anymore. When he first started, he beat The Undertaker and Big Show. Now he is losing to guys like Ryback.

4. Santino Marella

   

   Anthony Carelli, better known by his ring name Santino Marella, is an Italian-Canadian actor, retired professional wrestler, and mixed martial artist. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he gained popularity for his comedic persona and multiple reigns as Intercontinental Champion. After retiring... read more

   Why are you guys hating on Cena? He's a good superstar and can actually fight, unlike a lot of superstars in the WWE! Santino Marella doesn't really fight. He's more of a comedian. And why is Undertaker in here!

   Laugh out loud, worst wrestler doesn't actually wrestle. He loses every time. He dressed up as a diva to win a match and still lost! He is quite funny though, but there isn't any real point of Santino Marella being a wrestler.

   At this point, he is just a comedian who is only in WWE for filler. He can't fight for his life, and he's lost almost every single match he's been in. Heck, he even got eliminated by Kane in a second!

5. Jinder Mahal

   

   Yuvraj Singh Dhesi is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to WWE. He performs under the ring name Jinder Mahal and appears on the SmackDown brand. In 2017, Mahal became the WWE Champion, becoming the first wrestler of Indian descent to win the title. He has also held other championships... read more

   He sucks. He just pretends to look so tough. His finisher is terrible, and all his wrestling skills are terrible. He just thinks that he's so good that everyone must worship him. Even a baby wouldn't feel anything from his finisher. He sucks.

   Jinder Mahal really does suck. The only reason he wins matches is from those stupid Singh Brothers! Orton should have won at Backlash.

   He is so stupid that he thinks he will be the WWE champion. He calls himself the Maharaja.

6. James Ellsworth

   

   James Ellsworth Morris, better known by his ring name James Ellsworth, is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he performed on the SmackDown brand and gained popularity for his underdog persona. Before and after his WWE career, Ellsworth competed on the independent... read more

   This dude has no chin. Chinless! He sucks! He won't even fight like a wrestler! He fights like a wimp! Ugh, I hate this dude!

   He should be at the top of this list, not Cena. There must be Roman fanboys on here.

   How could AJ Styles get beaten by this guy?

7. Alberto Del Rio

   

   José Alberto Rodríguez (born September 25, 1977), best known as Alberto Del Rio, is a Mexican professional wrestler and former mixed martial artist. He made his WWE debut in 2010 and is a two-time WWE Champion and a two-time World Heavyweight Champion. He also became the first wrestler from Mexico to... read more

   And Ricardo, too! They're both terrible, especially riding cars that don't belong to them!

   He thinks he is so great because he is rich, but in reality, he is the supreme king loser.

   JERICHO FOREVER!

   I also hate Santino and Randy Loserton.

   He doesn't even work for WWE anymore. Alberto should retire.

8. Eugene

   

   Nicholas David Dinsmore (born December 17, 1975), better known by his ring name Eugene, is an American professional wrestler. He is best known for his time with World Wrestling Entertainment, where he famously won the World Tag Team Championship with William Regal. He began his wrestling career in 1996... read more

   The fact that almost nobody knows him proves he isn't that good. I've never heard of this guy.

9. David Otunga

   

   David Daniel Otunga Sr. is an American professional wrestler, lawyer, and actor. He is currently signed with WWE, primarily working as a panelist and commentator.

   David Otunga... With his stupid coffee mug and Harvard degree, pfft. What kind of superstar struts around like he's top just because he's got a college degree... Laugh out loud.

   Poser, glad he stopped wrestling. He realized he sucked so bad they gave him another job to be on the pre-show.

10. Zack Ryder

    

    Matthew Brett Cardona, better known by his ring name Zack Ryder, is an American professional wrestler. He was previously signed to WWE, where he gained popularity with his Long Island Iced-Z persona and online series. Cardona now competes on the independent circuit and other wrestling promotions.

    He is rubbish. He has, like, never won a match. He is only famous because of the as-kicking he got from Kane and John Cena helping him for publicity.

    Zack Ryder was decent until he returned as a crap ball who wears a purple headband and sunglasses.

    Does a great job at being a high-paid jobber.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Omos

    

    He sucks because he doesn't know how to wrestle.

12. ?

    Aleister Black

    
The Contenders

13. Hulk Hogan

    

    Terry Gene Bollea, better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, was an American professional wrestler, actor, television personality, entrepreneur, and musician. He rose to fame in the 1980s and 1990s through his work with the World Wrestling Federation (now WWE). Hogan is widely regarded as one of the... read more

    Hulk Hogan is absolutely the worst wrestler ever. How the hell was this sucker so popular? He has the lamest moves in history, a bodyslam and leg drop. Throughout his career, opponents had to carry him through the match. And the worst thing was that he always won despite putting on a poor show. It was always the opponents who made the match interesting and not this grandpa.

    He was a greedy, egotistical moron who frequently lied about everything. He always talks as if he made everything. Bret and Savage were 10 times the wrestler Hulk ever was during his time. Heck, even an amateur wrestler could fight better than Grandpa Hogan. The most overrated wrestler in history!

14. Jonathan Coachman

    

15. Randy Orton

    

    Randal Keith Orton (born April 1, 1980) is an American professional wrestler and actor signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand. He is a 12-time world champion, having held the WWE Championship eight times and the World Heavyweight Championship four times. He is a third-generation wrestler... read more

    He is a good wrestler, but he just keeps changing sides. He betrayed HHH so many times. He kissed Stephanie (though that made HHH mad, but he was in chains). He couldn't do anything without Legacy.

    He isn't bad, he just hasn't won a single match since 2013!

    Randy Orton has become so boring now.

16. Sheamus

    

    Stephen Farrelly, known professionally as Sheamus, is an Irish professional wrestler and actor. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand. Sheamus is a former WWE Champion and has held multiple other titles throughout his career.

    Sheamus is a ranga, too white, and he thinks he is the best. The only reason why he has won a lot of matches is caused by interference! He shouldn't even be WWE champ. The human jar of mayonnaise sucks totally! Anyway, why are John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Randy Orton, and Big Show on this list? They shouldn't even be on this, man! Change the list.

    I think every single person thinks that ever since Sheamus looked stupid, WWE has been nothing! Make Sheamus not look stupid again!

    Sheamus is the worst wrestler in the history of WWE! At first, he was a nice wrestler, but now, he is a boo!

17. Enzo Amore

    

    Eric Anthony Arndt, born December 8, 1986, is an American professional wrestler and rapper. He is best known for his time in WWE, where he performed under the ring name Enzo Amore. He signed with WWE in 2012 and achieved notable success, including winning the NXT Tag Team of the Year in 2015 with Big... read more

    He really sucked. A lot of wrestlers have said that he was dangerous to work with simply because he sucked at wrestling and didn't know what to do half the time.

    A man who couldn't keep his mind over his mouth. Truly the definition of bad.

    The only reason losers like this clown is because he acts like an idiot.

18. Brodus Clay

    

    George Murdoch is an American professional wrestler and actor who performed in WWE as Brodus Clay and later in Impact Wrestling as Tyrus. Outside of wrestling, he has worked as a political commentator and host on various Fox News programs. Murdoch also held the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship before... read more

    Maybe the worst wrestler in history. All he does is dance, and he only wins because of his size. Apart from that, he is an embarrassment to the WWE. He is another reason why the ratings fell rapidly.

    I agree. I mean, he goes out dancing in the ring and does some kind of pterodactyl style, and I'm like, That's pretty gross and pretty EMBARRASSING.

    Brodus Clay was awesome. I don't know who Brutus Clay is, but he sounds fatter and more perverted.

19. 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

    No, no, no, you're doing it all wrong. Breathe the A's, it's Fan-dum-go!

    He's with a rubbish tag team partner!

    This guy is a show-off! He does a weird ballet thing whenever he's on the top rope.

20. Goldust

    

    Dustin Patrick Runnels is an American professional wrestler who is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) under the ring name Dustin Rhodes. He previously wrestled for WWE under the ring name Goldust. Runnels is known for his flamboyant character and technical wrestling skills.

    The guy was odd in the mid-1990s. Now he is just a nobody.

21. 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

    NO MORE ROMAN REIGNS. Roman is a sucky guy who won against the Undertaker because dumb Vince McMahon didn't realize he sucked and scripted him to beat the living legend! It even turned out to be Taker's last match! The only thing I like about Roman is the Shield and the Anoa'i family, which is basically how Roman became WWE champion. Roman should be banned from the ring for life for being a horrible entertainer, because where Vincent Kennedy McMahon is putting him is crazy!

    He is a waste, a piece of overrated crap. He just has the worst mic skills and a limited moveset. All he has is a good body. I still can't believe he has the most eliminations for Royal Rumble. John Cena at least speaks well on the mic. This guy doesn't know that.

22. Rusev

    

    Miroslav Barnyashev is a Bulgarian professional wrestler and former powerlifter and rower, better known by his ring name Rusev during his time in WWE. He was a three-time United States Champion and the first Bulgarian to wrestle for WWE. After his release in April 2020, he joined All Elite Wrestling... read more

    I don't think he's exactly bad in the ring, but his attitude and over-patriotism are just annoying. He keeps waving the Russian flag over and over again, and eventually, he's going to swing it so hard it slips out of his hand and fractures someone's skull.

    Also, he uses inanimate objects a bit too much, even backstage. Plus, he has no particular signature moves or entrances.

    I'm not aiming to offend any Russians, but this is just my opinion on this wrestler.

    Rusev is a stupid fantasy. John Cena beat the crappy life out of that sucker. The only time he can beat Ziggler is in the middle of an interview when Ziggler looks away with crutches.

23. Steven Richards

    

    Steven Richards, born Michael Manna, is an American professional wrestler best known for his time in WWE and ECW. He was a prominent member of the Right to Censor faction in WWE, which was a satirical take on censorship advocacy groups. Richards is a multiple-time champion, having won titles such as... read more

24. 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

    Because he eats too much and thinks he is better than John Cena. By the way, Goldberg kicked his ass right to UFC, and Coward Lesnar got scared and didn't return to WWE for 10 years. So Goldberg should return again to WWE to kick his ass once more because he is starting to show off again.

    Brock Lesnar sucks. Seth Rollins is a much better worker than this lazy as. Also, why the hell was The Undertaker made to put Lesnar over in every match that they faced each other? He was made to lose clean in all the matches. WWE sucks!

25. Curt Hawkins

    

    Brian Myers is an American professional wrestler and promoter, better known by his ring name Curt Hawkins. He is known for his time in WWE, where he held the Raw Tag Team Championship with Zack Ryder. As of 2025, he is signed with Impact Wrestling, where he performs under his real name.

    Excuse me, but when has Curt Hawkins won a match in 2016-17 so far? He lost to James Ellsworth in like 6 seconds. James even had a broken neck. Really.

    He literally punches people up the legs. I don't remember John Cena being that bad - Unnamed Google User Remade

    Curt Hawkins debuted in 2008. He retired in 2019. He didn't ever pin or submit to win a match for 11 years until he won at WrestleMania 35 on the kickoff show. The only real WWE match he ever won was on the pre-show.

26. Rico

27. Kane

    

    Glenn Thomas Jacobs is an American professional wrestler, insurer, and actor. He works for WWE and is best known by his ring name Kane. Jacobs is also the current mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, having been elected in 2018.

    THE REAL KANE is the best superstar to ever enter a WWE ring, but CORPORATE KANE blows. That, Triple H, is bad for business. How could you make the Big Red Monster, the Devil's Favorite Demon, the Big Red MACHINE... into a boring character who wears a suit and is now suddenly the "Director of Operations?" Hunter! Vince! Get your heads out of your asses and bring back the monster that the fans love!

    I hate Kane. Worst wrestler ever. Also, what a dumb gimmick he has. Some kind of overrated, stupid monster.

    John Cena should have buried him 10 years ago.
