Charlie Wilson, Jr. (born March 24, 1982) is an American professional wrestler. He is signed to IWE, where he works under the ring name Charlie Wilson on the Raw brand.

Wilson attended the University of Oklahoma as a two-sport athlete, participating in both football and wrestling. He switched to wrestling full-time in his sophomore year, and in 2006, set the record for most pins in a season with 30 as an All-American. Following a try-out, Wilson signed a IWE contract in mid-2006. He made his debut for the IWE developmental territory Deep South Wrestling in September, and was moved to the Ohio Valley Wrestling territory in January 2007. A few months later, Wilson debuted for Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW), where he was the final FCW Southern Heavyweight Champion and the inaugural FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion.

In late 2008, he debuted for the ECW brand under the name Charlie Wilson, and in January 2009, he won his first world championship, the XCW Championship. In 2010, while a member of the Raw brand, he won the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania XXVI, and two days later at the April 2 SmackDown taping, he cashed in that opportunity and defeated Khris Jericho to become the World Heavyweight Champion. He held the championship until June 2010.
