* {{Sucksessor}}: Seems to be this to his much more talented father Rayburn at first. Difference in figures aside, Steve's only experience with wrestling at the start of the movie are stage fights where he's paid to throw the match. As a result he doesn't even ''try'' in his very first actual fight against Ramarilla and almost gets bodied.

In fact, the fear of being seen at this is what got Steve to leave Stoker in the first place. [[spoiler: It's only when Winnie starts individualizing Steve's training to be more suitable to ''him'' that he starts coming into his own as a fighter and manages to win the championship on his own terms.]]

!!Winnie Coyle
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GeraldineViswanathan, Kaya [=McLean=] (child)
The daughter of legendary Monster Wrestling coach Jimbo Coyle. When Tentacular turns his back on her hometown, Winnie sets out to train Stoker a new monster champion.
----
* DaddysGirl: Winnie was very close to her father, to the point she accompanied him to the ring and watched the fights from his shoulders. Everything she knows about Monster Wrestling, Winnie learned from Jimbo.
* {{Foil}}: To Steve/Rayburn Jr. Winnie wants to uphold her father's and Rayburn's legacy against all odds and save the stadium erected in their honor as it's the last thing she has to remind her of her dad. She's also very passionate about wrestling and strategizing. Wholly unlike the cynical and apathetic Steve, who has mixed feelings about his famous champion dad and (at least at the start) is OnlyInItForTheMoney.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: By telling Tentacular the key to winning against King Gorge (watch for his tell, then attack), Winnie unknowingly helps him establish a brand so he can leave Stoker behind.

!!Rayburn Jr./Steve the Stupendous
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/WillArnett
The son of Monster Wrestling legend Rayburn. After Winnie accidentally ruins his staged match against a fellow underground wrestler, he gets saddled with a huge amount of debt and agrees to become Stoker's new monster so he can pay it back.
----
* DoNotCallMePaul: Isn't too keen on being called Rayburn Jr. as he doesn't want to be associated with his father and the expectations such a legacy brings.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While he's being unecessarily harsh and rude about it, Steve isn't exactly wrong for calling out Winnie's plan to make him into a copy of his father, something he already told her he didn't want to be.
* {{Sucksessor}}: Seems to be this to his much more talented father Rayburn at first.
