While Walker is a excellent soldier, he is way out of his league in fighting Super Soldiers as he has no experience in dealing with them whereas Sam, Bucky, and Zemo all have experience with them to at least some degree (Zemo least of all, but he is at least knowledgeable). Then he realizes that the Dora Milaje are even better fighters than he is after they give him a CurbStompBattle. This lack of power hurts his already diminishing ego and makes him feel unworthy to hold the mantle of Captain America, [[spoiler:leading to him inject himself with the Super Soldier Serum in order to gain the upper hand]].
