I don't think that Wukong's early game damage is high. Unless you are going against very squishy targets, Wukong's damage is going to be very low.

He is sorta like a "reverse" bruiser; Most bruisers are strong early, with a lot of damage and are able to overwhelm his lane opponent, and then fall off late game and be mediocre at teamfights and damage, and are mostly a meat shield that peels for their teammates.

But Wukong is the opposite. He is weak early, has a lot of bad matchups at lane (unless you use him mid, but at mid, Wukong's playstyle is usually of an assassin, not of a bruiser) and has low damage. However, as the game flows, Wukong gets stronger, and then becomes very good at late game, with a lot of damage and teamfighting presence.
