Lists the various Wrestling/{{WWE}} wrestlers active during the WWE, Inc. Era, from 2011 to present. Please limit associated tropes to that wrestler's time in the WWE.

----

!!!Andy Leavine (Andrew Leavine) 2011
[[quoteright:194:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AndyToughEnough_9857.jpg]]
* TheBigGuy: One of his ''Tough Enough'' trainers, Bill [=DeMott=] (not such a small guy himself) describes Leavine in one interview as 'a monster'. [[note]]He's listed at 6-foot-5, 270 pounds.[[/note]]
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome[=/=]PutOnABus: Won Tough Enough and had a couple backstage segments and a video package about him in the weeks that followed. Then he promptly went to developmental, was released a year later, and neither he nor his season of Tough Enough has been mentioned since.
* TranquilFury: Goes by the nick name "Silent Rage"
* WrestlingFamily: Cousin of former wrestler Wrestling/DanSpivey.

!!!Wrestling/AntonioCesaro (Claudio Castagnoli) 2012-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/antoniocesaro_bio_1039.png]]
* BaldOfEvil
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Doesn't appear ridiculously toned (in comparison to, say, a guy like JohnCena) but he's pretty freakin' strong. He's already got a Neutralizer on Brodus Clay to his credit.
** He has gone on to top this, amazingly enough, by doing the same to ''The Great Khali.''
** He also regularly deadlifts his opponents into gutwrench suplexes, including heavy guys like Sheamus and Big E Langston.
* FakeNationality: Completely averted in his WWE run. He was actually born where he's billed from (Lucerne, Switzerland). [[hottip:*:Played straight, ironically, when he was in Europe during his early career, he played a Japanese man.]]
* ForeignWrestlingHeel
* JerkJock: First appeared on WWE TV as a somewhat arrogant former rugby player.
** EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The rugby aspect of his character is hardly ever mentioned nowadays.
* KickTheDog: Recently kicked Aksana to the curb - [[{{Omniglot}} In five different languages, of course.]]
* NewOldFlame: Apparently for Aksana.
** NoodleIncident: Of course, even though Aksana's been on WWE TV for about a year beforehand, he was never brought up and, except for the fact that they were romantically involved, their history is never mentioned.
* {{Omniglot}}: Apparently speaks five different languages, as he at the start of every match he has, says one word in each. Which makes sense as Switzerland has four official languages (German, Italian, French and Romanch).
* RealMenWearPink: If he's not in wrestling gear, he's often seen with a messenger bag that looks suspiciously like a man-purse.
* RecycledSoundtrack: He uses a remix of Dean Malenko's former theme Iceman.
** His FCW theme was Iceman.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: His first theme was a blatant copy of "Chelsea Dagger" by TheFratellis.
* TheQuietOne: At first, he didn't say much, and let Aksana speak for him.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He sure ''loves'' giving these speeches to Americans, claiming that they are inferior because they were not ambitious like him. Many people gave him the ShutUpHannibal speech, but he keeps going on and on.
* YouLookFamiliar: Fans of indie wrestling and/or Wrestling/RingOfHonor will, of course, recognize him as Claudio Castagnoli from the Kings of Wrestling (all of whom are currently employed by WWE)
* [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead Wearing a Flag On Your Trunks]]: He started wearing trunks with the US flag during his tenure as the US Champion. That and waving a giant flag around.
** Though recently, he reveals that he waves the flag to show that he's better than all Americans altogether.

!!!Big E Langston (Ettore Ewen) 2012-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/big_e_langston_bio_4349.png]]
* AlliterativeName: His real name, Ettore Ewen.
* TheBrute: To AJ
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He's a nationally ranked powerlifter, with a deadlift of about ''800 pounds.''
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He doesn't say much, but when he does talk (or tweet, for that matter), it's pretty obvious that his personality is sort of... out there. No wonder he and Wrestling/AJLee get along so well.
* TheComicallySerious: Dips into this at points, mainly because he doesn't get to talk much on camera while DolphZiggler and AJLee are both pretty [[LargeHam hammy.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Type 2 at Elimination Chamber 2012 where he appeared with other FCW wrestlers at JohnCena's gym.
* FanNickname: [[{{Wrestling/Ryback}} Ryblack]]
* FleetingDemographicRule: His gimmick in ''NXT'' was beating down opponents enough for a five count pin as opposed to a three count, a gimmick made famous by King Kong Bundy.
* ScaryBlackMan: Let's just admit it...
* TheStoic[=/=]TheQuietOne: He was this for a couple weeks, and seemed to fit this gimmick full-on... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JJVwbKDso0 and then he started talking,]] revealing that he is much more eccentric than your usual menacing big man.

!!!Bo Dallas (Taylor Michael Rotunda) 2013-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bo_dallas_bio_7679.png]]
* AbortedArc: His feud with Wrestling/WadeBarrett. He eliminated Barrett in the Wrestling/RoyalRumble, who in turn eliminated Dallas, they then had a match on Raw the following night, of which Dallas won, then a couple of backstage confrontations. Then the arc was dropped and Bo was sent back to Wrestling/{{WWENXT}}.
* BadassLonghair
* DarkhorseVictory: His WWE singles debut had him facing and beating current Intercontinental Champion WadeBarrett. He also had a decent showing in his true debut - the RoyalRumble (where he also eliminated WadeBarrett.)
* PrettyBoy: Well, just look at the picture.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After being in the Rumble, and then winning a match against Wrestling/WadeBarrett, having few backstage segments that hinted on a feud between the two, he simply disappeared off TV.
** He appeared on the March 4th 2013 episode of Raw, however very briefly, in the front row of a group of superstars gathered around Mae Young's 90th birthday cake(s) - he was basically shoved aside as CMPunk interrupted the party for his entrance. ItMakesSenseInContext.
* WrestlingFamily: Grandson of Blackjack Mulligan, nephew of Barry and Kendall Windham, son of Mike Rotunda (known in the WWE as Irwin R. Schyster), and younger brother to Windham Rotunda (formerly known as TheNexus's Husky Harris, know known as Bray Wyatt).

!!!Brad Maddox (Tyler Kluttz) 2012-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/BradMaddox_bio_20130225_9543.png]]
* AttentionWhore: And he'll actually be the first to say that his actions are motivated by it.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Wanted some attention, and wanted a match with Ryback. It was only after getting into the ring with Ryback that [[OhCrap Maddox realized how deep he'd stepped in it.]]
** Extended to his entire gimmick and perhaps mixed with a bit of [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Screwed By The Promotion:]] Several occasions he's asked for a match to get onto the WWE roster. His opponents have been (not a comprehensive list): Wrestling/{{Ryback}}, [[TheGiant The Great Khali]], Wrestling/BrodusClay]], Wrestling/RandyOrton, Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}.
* DemotedToExtra: Felt that taking a referee job was this when he was called up to Raw, after it had turned to three hours and [[Wrestling/AJLee AJ]] felt they needed more refs.
* EvilCounterpart[=/=]{{Expy}}: Seems to be becoming one to Wrestling/ZackRyder.
* GroinAttack: Delivered one to Wrestling/{{Ryback}}. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Ryback wasn't happy once he got up to a vertical base.]]
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Feels that him screwing Ryback out of the WWE Championship justifies his actions as now everyone is talking about him.
* KickedUpstairs: Now an assistant to the managing consultant to Wrestling/VickieGuerrero.
** InsistentTerminology: Two instances. Brad insists on dubbing himself the 'assistant managing consultant' of RAW ([[Wrestling/ZackRyder Does this remind you of anything??]]). Vickie insists on calling Brad 'the assistant ''to'' the managing consultant' of RAW... which is apparently a less auspicious title.
* MeaningfulName: Very likely unintentional but consider his real surname and the small man with the big ego he is currently portraying.
* MilesGloriosus[=/=]SmallNameBigEgo: And it wasn't because Heyman payed him to do his and Punk's dirty work, and him thinking because of it, he could act all [[SmugSnake smug]].
** Even ''MichaelCole'' thinks he's annoyingly smug.
* NumberTwo: To Vickie... even though she says otherwise.
* RunningGag: His quest for a WWE contract. Which never ended well for him.
* SmugSnake: '''OH MY GOD.'''
* SquashMatch: His first match, by his own choice, was against Ryback, who he had screw out of the WWE Championship. [[CurbStompBattle It went as well as expected]] And pretty much every match he's been in since coming up to the Main Roster.
* TooDumbToLive: [[GroinAttack Nut-shotting]] Wrestling/{{Ryback}}... and ''then'' challenging him to a match a couple of weeks after he nearly broke you in half in a fit of rage. Yeah. That about says it all.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Turns out [[SarcasmMode to everyone's surprise]], he was in league with Wrestling/PaulHeyman, Wrestling/CMPunk, and Wrestling/TheShield after all... up until Wrestling/PaulHeyman decided this and released him from his employ - complete with a Shield beatdown.

!!!Wrestling/DamienSandow (Aaron Haddad) 2006, 2012-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/damiensandow_bio_543.png]]
* BadassLonghair
* BeardOfEvil: And a very robust one at that.
* BullyingADragon[=/=]TooDumbToLive: His choice to interrupt, of all things, the DGenerationX reunion on the 1000th episode of MondayNightRaw. And this wasn't just ''any'' DX reunion: this was a '''''DX Army''''' reunion - Trips, Shawn, The New Age Outlaws, and X-Pac. And it gets better: Sandow actually [[LampshadeHanging acknowledges how stupid it is]] during the promo and admits ([[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness in so many words]]) that he's probably going to get his ass kicked. (Of course, he does.)
** Also with [[LightningBruiser Brodus Clay]], who he repeatedly ambushed and assaulted. When they finally have a straight match, Brodus spends most of it [[CurbstompBattle beating the crap out of him]], only losing when Damien cheats and grabs his tights. And after that, Damien finds himself on the receiving end of Brodus' wraith.
* CatchPhrase: Ends his promos with "You're Welcome"
* InsufferableGenius
** GeniusBruiser: Can more than hold his own with the likes of Sheamus and John Cena.
* KarmaHoudini: He gets away with quite a few dirty attacks on a few people.
** KarmaHoudiniWarranty: However, this expired, despite him winning by cheating, when Brodus Clay knocked him out and danced with his kids and dancers in the arena.
* NoSenseOfHumor
* RedBaron: The Self-Proclaimed Intellectual Savior of the Unwashed Masses
* RealMenWearPink: His choice of gear, pink trunks and purple kneepads.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Oh, my dear lord...
* WickedCultured: His introductory promos are basically spiels about art and how the 'common man' doesn't understand it. When giving promos, he even holds his mic like a champagne glass.
* YouLookFamiliar: Was once Idol Stevens, part of a tag team managed by [[LayCool Michelle McCool.]]

!!! [[Wrestling/TheShield Dean Ambrose]] (Jonathan Good) 2012-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deanambrose_bio_7609.png]]
* AxCrazy: On FCW, and still shows signs of being off his rocker on the main roster as part of the Shield. He is by far the most violent member of the trio.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: ''Hoo boy.'' His gimmick in the indies and FCW was a bit... out there. It seems to have been reined in on the main roster for the Shield gimmick), but the initial interview with Wrestling/MichaelCole show that shades of it still exist. He also displays highly erratic behavior during matches, prompting the commentary team to unanimously agree at the ''Elimination Chamber 2013'' PPV that "There's something wrong with that guy".
* EarlyBirdCameo: Makes a quick cameo in CM Punk's DVD ''Best In The World'', backstage and talking with Punk.
* {{Expy}}: He has quite a bit of Creator/HeathLedger's [[Film/TheDarkKnight Joker]] in his mannerisms and voice.
* GenreSavvy: Aware of the similarities between The Shield and [[TheNexus some]] [[NewWorldOrder other]] {{Power Stable}}s that have appeared on RAW over the years. Quickly goes out of his way to rebuff the comparisons.
* MessyHair: To match his personality.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Thanks to the Shield attacking DanielBryan and Wrestling/{{Kane}}, they actually started to get along.
** And thanks to ignoring CMPunk telling him and his friends saying not to interfere in the Royal Rumble, he and the other members of The Shield cost him the championship.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Pretty much made his debut in this fashion.
* PowerTrio: As a member of the Shield. He's TheId, '''and how.'''
* RememberTheNewGuy: Ambrose was introduced as an [[{{WWENXT}} NXT]] invader despite never actually appearing on the show.[[note]]He did however wrestle on NXT house shows and dark matches.[[/note]]
** [[AllThereInTheManual His WWE.com bio]] [[JustifiedTrope justifies]] this by saying his closing match of NXT's developmental predecessor FCW against William Regal was so brutal he wasn't allowed to compete on NXT as a result.
* PermaStubble
* PsychopathicManchild
* TheUnfettered
* YouLookFamiliar: Better known as indy standout Jon Moxley.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: As part of the Shield.

!!! Wrestling/{{Hunico}} (Jorge Arias) 2011-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hunico-bio_2004.png]]
* ArchEnemy: Sin Cara
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: As Sin Cara Negro (well, technically not Negro, he was pretending to be Sin Cara at the time), he put DanielBryan ''in the [=LeBell=] lock and made him tap''.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience / GoodColorsEvilColors: As Sin Cara Negro, he dressed in black and silver.
* CostumeCopycat
* DarkerAndEdgier
* DarkReprise: His version of the Sin Cara theme song is far more somber.
* DemotedToExtra: During the latter half of 2012, he wrestled mainly on Superstars and NXT.
* {{Expy}}: As Hunico, his attire may reminds fans of WCW mainstay Konnan, or TNA wrestler Anarquia.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: As Sin Cara Negro, he eventually removed his CostumeCopycat mask to reveal a darker version of it once Azul returned when their match at Hell In A Cell was announced.
* EvilCounterpart: To Sin Cara when he first debuted.
* FinishingMove: Briefly used the ''Falling Star'' (a [[JeffHardy high-angle Swanton Bomb]]) as well as a springboard moonsault - colloquially known as the 'Lionsault', ChrisJericho's old finisher. Now uses a variant of the [[KurtAngle Olympic Slam.]]
* ForeignWrestlingHeel
* LaserGuidedKarma: When Arias started his career in Mexico, he wrestled as Mistico - a gimmick that CMLL ripped off and gave Urive at the same time. An infringement case went to court, and Arias lost the rights to the Mistico gimmick to CMLL and Urive. In WWE, the Sin Cara Negro gambit was Arias' attempt to get revenge on Urive in a similar manner.
** RealLifeWritesThePlot: Negro mentions the Mistico gimmick as his motivation for trying to steal the Sin Cara gimmick.
* LightningBruiser: At least in style. He showcased his high-flying potential as Sin Cara Negro, but as the unmasked Hunico he can often switch between that and a more physical brawling style.
* LowerClassLout: As Hunico, his gimmick is a street thug from Juarez, Mexico.
* MaskedLuchador: As Sin Cara Negro.
* OminousLatinChanting: Played straight
* TheOtherDarrin: Originally played out as this. Until the big reveal, Sin Cara was "portrayed" by Arias during Urive's suspension for violating WWE's wellness program. The change was lampshaded in the commentary, with comments on his weight change, new moves and his mask improperly fitted.
* PaintItBlack
* PutOnABus: Knee injury.
* SatisfiedStreetRat: As Hunico.
* VillainTeamUp: With Epico, briefly. Which sorta made sense since they tagged, as {{faces}}, in FCW, the former developmental system for WWE.
* TheVoiceless: Averted as Sin Cara Negro, when the American-born wrestler gave a SuddenlyVoiced moment both in Spanish and English. This makes the confrontations between the two a little strange.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen / AbortedArc: Variation. Originally, after losing to Sin Cara and outing himself as Hunico, he was placed into a group with the recently promoted (from FCW and Superstars, respectively) tag team Epico and Primo. Rosa Mendes was expected to join soon after in order to make an AlternateCompanyEquivalent to TNA's Mexican America. The problem was that Primo and Epico were from (and billed from) Puerto Rico, which is considered a territory/protectorate of the United States. (Oh, and Rosa is part ''Costa Rican''.) Perhaps with seeing the UnfortunateImplications of putting a group of Hispanics together and calling all of them Mexicans, WWE split the stable in half before it got off the ground (y'know, instead of doing the simple thing and just ''not calling all of them Mexicans''). Primo and Epico got Rosa (and subsequently became the Tag Team Champions), while Hunico became a singles competitor and was paired with a ''huge'' bike-riding lackey named Camacho - also known as former FCW talent Donny Marlow, [[FakeNationality who is neither Mexican nor Puerto Rican nor Costa Rican, but Tongan]]. Although one must wonder whether, had gone through with it, AlbertoDelRio (who, yes, actually ''is'' Mexican) would have figured into the equation somehow.

!!!Jinder Mahal (Yuvraj Dhesi) 2011-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jinder-mahal-bio_5245.png]]
* [[BastardBoyfriend Bastard Husband]]: [[{{Kayfabe}} Is The Great Khali's brother in law.
* BeardOfEvil: In 2012
* BullyingADragon: Bitchslapping the Great Khali (who's taller than TheBigShow and nearly as heavy as MarkHenry) just wasn't really a good idea on any level.
** This seems to be a pattern with Mahal. He's also ''interrupted'' a promo from a hacked-off RandyOrton in order to get a point across. Needless to say, it didn't end well for him.
--> RandyOrton: [[DeadpanSnarker Are you an announcer?]] [[note]]He'd just had to endure one of Cole's self-gratifying interview sessions at a time where he ''really'' wasn't in the mood.[[/note]] ...[[PreAssKickingOneLiner Because, apparently, announcers are off-limits.]] *cue RKO*
** He then decided to antagonize '''[[TheBigGuy Ryback.]]''' TooDumbToLive indeed. Though he managed to survive.
* TheComicallySerious: His role as "the fun one" in the 3MB.
* CultureEqualsCostume: Wears the Sikh version of a turban to the ring.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Started a feud with Ted Dibiase Jr., explaining that he cannot understand why Ted has befriended the "peasants" and stopped being a RichBitch, claiming to be irritated by it.
* ForeignWrestlingHeel
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger: During his entrance.
* GreenEyedMonster: According to Ranjin Singh, he is jealous towards the fact that Khali is a worldwide celebrity.
* ManInWhite[=/=]LightIsNotGood --> DarkIsEvil[=/=]PaintItBlack: Went from lily-white ring gear to black as a member of 3MB.
* NiceHat: It's so nice he puts it in a case for safety.
* ReligiousBruiser: It's implied that his NiceHat has some sort of spiritual significance, which is why he treats it with such respect... ''[[TheArtifact and]]'' [[TheArtifact still wears it, even in his "rock star" gimmick with 3MB.]]
* [[RichBitch Rich Bastard]]
* TheKidWithTheRemoteControl: A villainous variant. After Kahli turned {{Heel}} and siding with him, Khali didn't really do anything until Mahal told him to. It turned out that Khali's only did it to [[KnightTemplarBigBrother protect]] [[{{Kayfabe}} his sister]] from being divorced by him, which were they're from would be a major disgrace to the entire family.
* TooDumbToLive: See BullyingADragon. This guy really needs to learn how to pick his battles a little better.
* TookALevelInBadass: In his feud with Ryback, becoming the first one to actually be a ''challenge'' to the guy.
* UnderwearOfPower
* VillainDecay: From arrogant millionaire bastard to comically stoic rock star.
* VillainTeamUp: With Heath Slater and Drew [=McIntyre=] as the 3 Man Band.
** WTHCastingAgency
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The Great Khali got sick of Mahal's threats and bullying, broke away from him, and then kicked his ass. Between the sudden end to the feud as well as either Mahal's inability or his unwillingness to speak English when on camera, we never found out whether Mahal was bluffing or whether he did indeed divorce Khali's sister. And looked like it wouldn't be addressed as he started a feud with Ted [=DiBiase=] Jr, and Khali was out with an injury thanks to MarkHenry. However, when Khali returned at the Royal Rumble, he's was refereed to as Mahal's brother-in-law.
* WrestlingFamily: Nephew of wrestler Gama Singh.

!!! [[Wrestling/TheShield Roman Reigns]] (Joe Anoa'i) 2012-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/leakee_bio_8476.png]]
* BadassBaritone: [[TheQuietOne Doesn't talk often]], but has a deep, booming voice.
* BadassLonghair
* BeardOfEvil
* CoolShades: Would often cut promos on ''NXT'' with them on after a gimmick change. He had previously been billed as Leakee, and played up the Samoan part of his heritage while in FCW, then when he debuted in NXT he had a gimmick change to that of well dressed business man. Then he was called up as part of the Shield and that gimmick was scrapped quickly.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Type 2 at Elimination Chamber 2012 where he appeared with other FCW wrestlers at JohnCena's gym under the name of Leakee.
* [[ItRunsInTheFamily It Runs in]] [[InTheBlood the Blood]]: Reigns is at least the ''tenth'' guy from his bloodline to appear in a WWF/E ring. Others include [[BigFun Rikishi]] (and his sons [[TagTeamTwins The Usos]]), The Original {{Wild Samoan}}s (who are his father and uncle), the late Umaga and Yokozuna, the Tonga Kid, and his brother, who went by the name Rosey.
* LegacyCharacter: Of [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]], at least in physical profile. Both are third-generation wrestlers with Samoan origins. They have similar body build and athleticism, also both played CollegeFootball (same position, in fact). Reigns' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CP_xzjBy0CQ finisher]] also bears a passing resemblance to the Rock Bottom in execution.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Thanks to the Shield attacking DanielBryan and Wrestling/{{Kane}}, they actually started to get along.
** And thanks to ignoring CMPunk telling him and his friends saying not to interfere in the Royal Rumble, he and the other members of The Shield cost him the championship.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Pretty much made his debut in this fashion.
* TheQuietOne: Up until he's in a fight. Then....
** ScreamingWarrior: Oh my god, to the ''Nth degree.''
* RammingAlwaysWorks: Uses the Spear. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] as Reigns is a big guy that [[MythologyGag played football at one point]], and a Spear looks quite a bit like a football tackle.
* SmugSnake: On Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}}.
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: As part of the Shield.
* TheUnfettered
* WildSamoan: Averts the trope himself, but he is notably the son and nephew of the [[TropeNamer Trope Namers]].
* WrestlingFamily: Part of the massive Anoa'i family of wrestlers.

!!! {{Wrestling/Ryback}} (Ryan Reeves) 2004, 2010, 2012-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ryback_bio_2220.png]]
* BaldOfAwesome
* BigEater: During ToughEnough, Al Snow gave an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HY3g4CGdM0&feature=g-vrec interview]] about Ryback constantly sneaking large amounts of food around and getting in trouble for it by Bill [=DeMott=]. Years later, DanielBryan gave an interview also describing Ryback's eating habits. And even the announcers have made offhand references to it.
* BloodKnight: As of now, his gimmick is pretty much to beat a guy (or pair of guys) down, then promptly ask for more guys to beat down.
* CanonDiscontinuity: He was in no way shape or form part of TheNexus. What they acknowledge is that he was part of NXT season 1, before getting hurt.
** DiscontinuityNod: A close look at his ring gear reveals a subtle (if not accidental) one, in that he wears arm bands on his biceps with a huge "R", right where the Nexus armband(s) would be.
* ChewingTheScenery: With a heavy emphasis on chewing.
* CatchPhrase: '''FINISH! HIM!!''' and '''FEED! ME! MORE!!'''
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Effortlessly picks up two guys and march with them on his shoulders.
* {{Expy}}: His large, imposing figure, [[BaldOfAwesome shiny pate]], and tendency to beat opponents in dominating fashion recall {{Goldberg}}, which the crowd invariably [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] with the appropriate chant during his matches.
* GameBreakingInjury: The poor guy broke his leg right as the Nexus angle took off in 2010, and it kept him out of the ring for well over a year.
* FanNickname:
** The Ryback due to [[BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]], who travels with him and Cody Rhodes, referring to him as such constantly in interviews.
** His similarities to Goldberg have led to some nicknaming him as either Ryberg or Goldback.
* FeedMe
* HulkSpeak[=/=]PunctuatedForEmphasis: If you listen closely during his matches, he shouts very simple phrases, one word at a time.
** And after his matches as well.
--->"FEED! ME! MORE!"
* LastNameBasis[=/=]OnlyOneName
* MadEye: Ryback has huge eyes that don't blink very often at all.
* MismatchedEyes: For a whole, his left sclera was red.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: He's just about as strong as he [[http://www.wwe.com/f/talent/profile/2012/04/ryback_2_full.png looks.]]
* PermaStubble
* ShoutOut[=/=]CallingYourAttacks: His signal that he's about to perform his FinishingMove, called Shell Shocked; a loud yell to the crowd of [[MortalKombat "FINISH HIM!!"]]
* SquashMatch: What his matches has been since his (re)debut.
* YouLookFamiliar: Was once part of [[WWEToughEnough Tough Enough season 4]], and a couple years later NXT and was part of Nexus but broke his leg at a house show, and was gone for nearly a year and a half.

!!! [[Wrestling/TheShield Seth Rollins]] (Colby Lopez) 2012-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/seth_rollins_bio_5290.png]]
* BadassLonghair
* DyeHard
** SkunkStripe: Has a blond one.
** MulticoloredHair
* EarlyBirdCameo: Type 2 at Elimination Chamber 2012 where he appeared with other FCW wrestlers at JohnCena's gym.
* {{Expy}}: He has often been compared by fans (and even Wrestling/JimRoss) to Wrestling/CMPunk during his [[{{WWENXT}} NXT]] run. It's quite apt that when CM Punk guest-starred on the show, he would confront and eventually congratulate Rollins.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Thanks to the Shield attacking DanielBryan and Wrestling/{{Kane}}, they actually started to get along.
** And thanks to ignoring CMPunk telling him and his friends saying not to interfere in the Royal Rumble, he and the other members of The Shield cost him the championship.
* ThePowerOfRock: Described by commentators as a heavy metal fan, Rollins' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVtbPyhfZmY NXT entrance]] plays with this trope.
* PowerStable: In The Shield. The Superego.
* ShoutOut: Apparently, one of his {{Finishing Move}}s is a [[Wrestling/ShawnMichaels Superkick]] - called the [[Franchise/HarryPotter Avada Kedavra.]] [[OneOfUs No, seriously.]]
* TheUnfettered
* YouLookFamiliar: AKA Tyler Black of the [[RingOfHonor Age of the Fall]].
* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: As part of the Shield.

!!! Wrestling/SinCara (Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde) 2011-
[[quoteright:232:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sincara_bio_3829.png]]
* ArchEnemy: Hunico
* BadassLongcoat
* CoolMask
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience / GoodColorsEvilColors: Sin Cara Azul is dressed in blue and gold.
** RedIsHeroic: After returning.
* DetachedSleeves
* EpicFail: A t-shirt WWE marketed for him had to be pulled after a phallic image was discovered in the design.
** And maybe to a lesser extent. His WWE career up till his injury, which was far from botch free. This due to him not being put through development system first to get used to the WWE style of wrestling, and was put on TV straight away.
* FollowTheLeader: WWE are hoping to emulate ReyMysterioJr's popularity with Sin Cara.
* FragileSpeedster
* GameBreakingInjury: Was out for five months due to a slipped patella in his left kneecap. Then had another injury and was out for about a month.
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger
* IHaveTheHighGround
* InASingleBound: Sin Cara's entrance consists of jumping over the ring ropes (in RealLife, it's done through the means of a trampoline disguised by camera trickery).
* MaskedLuchador
* MeaningfulName: Sin Cara means Faceless.
* OminousLatinChanting: His theme song.
* OrangeBlueContrast: Special lighting is used during his matches with the ring golden and the background deeply blue.
** TheArtifact: It was originally supposed to match his ring gear - but now his ring gear is red and white.
* PintSizedPowerhouse
* PutOnABus: Thanks to his {{Game Breaking Injur|y}}ies.
** HesBack: Came back five months later.
* TheVoiceless: Subverted. Sin Cara's voiceless most of the time due to his lack of English. There are a few exceptions:
** On WWE's Backstage Fallout that airs on YouTube, he does speak in Spanish, and have Rey Mysterio translate for him.
** He finally ''sings'' in English in WWE's 2012 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXiLkCQkILY Christmas video]].
