Current WWE wrestlers with zero on-screen charisma

12 Min Read

Readers of professional wrestling illustration magazines in the 1990s learned the term charisma. The magazine taught wrestling fans to frequently generate charismatic and gorgeous terms. Today, kids call it “rizz” and the highly charismatic performer is “Rizzler.” The truth is, charisma is a major factor in making professional wrestling successful.

Charisma can be an IT factor that brings performers from good hands to true things WWE Superstar. In most cases, charisma is more natural than you learn. But with WWE today, there are all performance center options, so WWE does an amazing job of enabling performers to take advantage of some form of charisma. However, some performers on the main roster have lost their top-level charisma.

Solosicore doesn’t have the charisma of lies


WWE debut

August 30, 2021

Major WWE Results

NXT North American Champion

Solo Sikoa is the younger brother of the super-high-character USO. Jimmy and Jay have more personalities than they have in life that can take over any promotion. My younger brother’s solo doesn’t have the same magnetic persona. Solo’s role as a pedigree enforcer was the perfect place for street fighters.

However, after the WrestleMania 40, Cicoro had no charisma to truly lead the new lineage. Solo could become a dominant and explosive performer in the ring, but his lack of charisma has stopped him from becoming a true breakout star in WWE. The Sicoa is covered by a charismatic Samoan werewolf Jacob Fatu, a member of fellow pedigree.

Cruz del Toro

The most charismatic performer in LWO

WWE debut

June 2016

Major WWE Results

I joined LWO

Cruz del Toro is absolutely fantastic in the ring. Dello is highly regarded as a ring performer. LWO members can play good games against anyone on the WWE roster. His only problem is his lack of charisma. Del Toro’s personality doesn’t appear inside the ring on WWE TV or live events.

Del Toro can hold for hold alongside those on the roster, but his lack of charisma prevents him. Del Toro appears to be destined to perform only as a member of the tag team due to his lack of charisma. In LWO, more charismatic members allow Dello to play a role in the group without showing natural charisma.

Ivy Nile

Does not bring charisma to American made

WWE debut

January 14, 2020

Major WWE Results

Joined the American Maid

Ivy Nile checks out a bunch of boxes in the list of superstar traits. She has an impressive, muscular look accented by bright makeup. She has this world’s movement set that shows her strength and speed. Even her ring gear and hair suggest a Big Time Star. However, Nile lacks the charisma of being one of the biggest stars in WWE.

Nile, who recently played a great match with the charismatic anthropomorphic La Primera Stephanie Verker in Raw, doesn’t have a personality that matches the rest of the department. Nile always seems to find a nice place on cards with her appearance and skills in the ring. However, she never raises cards with her lack of charisma.

Apollo’s crew

The Apollo crew has been with WWE for over 10 years.

  • 1x WWE Intercontinental Champion

  • 1x WWE US Champion

The Apollo crew is the male version of Ivy Nile. He has a look that pops out on the WWE screen. He has the skills to impress WWE fans in the ring very much. He has all the tools to succeed in wrestling other than charisma. The crew can do it all, but without charisma, he simply isn’t attracting the attention of WWE fans.

The crew has been on the WWE roster for over a decade. The crew won both intercontinental and US championships in WWE. However, he bumped into the ceiling due to his lack of charisma. WWE officials tried to find the charisma of the crew during the Nigerian royal gimmick, but in the end the role failed.

Tonga Law

He’s less charismatic than his younger brother Tama Tonga


Southern China (1)

WWE debut

Major WWE Results

1x WWE Tag Team Champion

Tonga Roa is a member of the pedigree. The second generation WWE star is Haku’s son. With so many connections to the business, LOA has advantages that other performers don’t. LOA has turned these benefits into WWE’s World Tag Team Championship. A good looking lore doesn’t really bring the same charisma that her father displayed in the ring.

His lack of charisma makes Roa not help himself stick out as a member of the pedigree. Unlike other members of the pedigree, LOA also does not show great ring skills. LOA appears to be destined to be a low-rent enforcer and tag team member rather than a true single superstar. Loa’s charismatic level (the lack thereof) does not allow you to move your WWE card up.

Motor City Machine Gun

Tag Team Legends depend on proficiency in the ring

1x WWE Tag Team Champion

Motor City Machine Guns have been tagged for almost 20 years. Corey Graves called the gun “favorite tag team of my favorite tag team.” The guns are exceptional in the ring, both as singles competitors and tag teams. The ability of guns to play very interesting tag team matches cannot be denied. Unfortunately, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin lack the charisma they need to become the greatest WWE tag team of all time.

Their lack of charisma is why it took so long for tag team specialists to ultimately sign a WWE deal. The duo was so good inside the ring for a long time, so fans loved the guns and they were champions in the promotions. However, their charismatic level doesn’t compare to current WWE tag teams such as The New Day and The Street benefits.

I’ve tried WWE, but Humberto Carrillo doesn’t have charisma

WWE debut

September 23, 2018

Major WWE Results

I joined the Ghost Legacy

Humberto Carrillo is a third generation wrestler. Carrillo has been with WWE since 2018 and is currently on sale under the name Berto. He is a member of Legad del Fantasma. Carrillo is currently tagging his real cousin Angel Garza. Unlike Angels, however, the belt doesn’t have the charisma of a fierce top, or (as a heel).

Carillo looks great and has incredible ring skills. But without his charisma (like many on this list), he is doomed to the tag team and factions on the WWE main roster. Carrillo is still under 30, and if WWE can take advantage of some form of charisma, Berto could be a legitimate star.

JD McDon

Most charismatic man on Judgement Day

WWE debut

1x WWE Tag Team Champion

Judgement Day has run WWE Raw over the past few years. During that run, members were added and deducted. The current version of Judgement Date includes JD McDona. As a member of the faction, McDonagh won the tag team titles with his mentor Finn Balor.

McDonagh has a great ring skill set that combines aerial attacks with technical excellence. However, McDona has no other male charisma on Judgement Day. Valor, Dominique Mysterio, and even Little Piss Used Caritho have far more charisma than MacDonna. As long as he is a member of the faction, his level of charisma may not be an issue.

Raquel Rodriguez

Raquel Rodriguez is even less charismatic than JD McDonagh

  • 5x WWE Tag Team Champion

  • 1x NXT Women’s Champion

  • 2x NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion

Big Mama Cool Raquel Rodriguez jumps off the TV screen with her physical appearance and size. Rodriguez is charged for standing six feet tall and heads to the WWE Women’s Division. Her physical gift made her a five-time women’s tag team champion and a former NXT women’s champion. But her lack of charisma will prevent her from becoming one of the greatest WWE’s all-time greats.

Rodriguez is currently on the tag team of the ultra-high-character Liv Morgan. Rodriguez undoubtedly comes across as Morgan’s heater or assistant, and she’s not equal. If WWE could exploit some form of charisma from Rodriguez, they could have had another top-level star on their roster.

Tommaso Ciampa

Less charisma than DIY partner Johnny Gargano

  • 2x Tag Team Champion

  • 1x NXT Champion

  • 2x NXT Tag Team Champion

Tommaso Ciampa is a two-time NXT champion and a two-time WWE Tag Team champion with DIY partner Johnny Gargano. During Ciampa’s run as NXT champion, he showed great connections with his fans. That connection seemed to replace his natural lack of charisma. Ciampa is a better storyteller than most sports entertainers today.

However, Ciampa lacks the charisma to break through as a major star in WWE. Ciampa’s physical charisma hit when she shaved the iconic whiskers over Wrestlemania weekend for a cut. Ciampa tag partner Johnny Gargano shows enough charisma to keep his team in a mix of the WWE Tag Teams division.
