Not just lack of GIMMICKS but lack of guys with distinguishable characters at all. And that does fall to the writers. I don't think Cody is a main eventer either but he was intriguing at least during the "Dashing" gimmick to the "disfigured" gimmick. It gave him a personality that wasn't paint-by-numbers. He had depth to his character that they could have continued to build on. Now he's CAWdy again.
Too many heels especially are just the same generic heel as the next guy.
