5 Active WWE Superstars Who Haven’t Won Any WWE Championship Yet
Not everyone can become a champion in WWE. Even though there are currently eight active championships on the main roster, there are often many more WWE Superstars competing for the same title. This, coupled with WWE’s tendency to repeatedly push the same group of performers, makes it difficult for many to achieve their first main roster title victory.
For instance, Liv Morgan’s SmackDown Women’s Championship win at Money in the Bank was the first time since 2017 that the blue brand’s Women’s Championship changed hands without a member of the Four Horsewomen involved. This highlights WWE’s reliance on a select group of talent over the years.
Please note that the following WWE Superstars have not won a championship since joining the main roster, including former NXT and NXT UK champions who are still waiting for their first taste of glory on Raw or SmackDown. Additionally, previous WWE 24/7 Championship holders are considered former main roster champions, regardless of WWE’s regard for that title.
Gable Steveson and Logan Paul, both classified as main roster WWE Superstars, will not be included in this list. Steveson has yet to officially debut on the red brand, and Paul, despite wrestling in a couple of matches, is a part-time performer. While WWE may eventually spotlight these cross-platform stars for mainstream attention, we won’t consider them here.
Many of these Superstars will undoubtedly make their mark in WWE history books in the future, especially with the new creative direction led by Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque. For now, they are patiently waiting for their chance to shine.
5) Ciampa
Ciampa is poised to become a main roster champion, possibly even a World Champion one day. His established relationship with Triple H will undoubtedly propel him on Monday Night Raw. If it wasn’t evident already from how he’s been presented since Triple H took the reins from Vince McMahon, it will become clear in the months to come. Ciampa recently earned a shot at the United States Championship by defeating AJ Styles, and WWE seems to be taking its time before giving him a major push.
4) Karrion Kross
Similar to Ciampa, Karrion Kross is destined to become a main roster champion eventually. He was re-signed by WWE with his NXT persona intact and has seamlessly integrated into the main roster, unlike his initial stint. Kross, a two-time NXT Champion, may have had his critics, but he was a dominant main event star in NXT’s Triple H era. It remains to be seen whether he can capture a championship on the main roster, given recent misuses.
3) Shotzi
Shotzi is another talent who hasn’t been utilized to her full potential on the main roster. She was beloved during her time in NXT, known for her fiery attitude, entertaining in-ring skills, and memorable tank entrance. However, her transition to the main roster saw her partner taken away and her tank retired. Triple H needs to revamp her presentation, and Shotzi has even hinted at the return of her tank, which could boost her popularity.
2) Mustafa Ali
It’s baffling how WWE has not given Mustafa Ali a championship opportunity in his six years with the company. He never even had a chance to represent 205 Live with the Cruiserweight Championship. Mustafa has consistently performed well and even made RETRIBUTION somewhat tolerable, which was no small feat. Despite past opportunities at the WWE and United States Championships, he has not clinched a title. Now, he finds himself back in NXT with slim hopes of a main roster title.
1) LA Knight
LA Knight is currently one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE, evident not only from fan support but also merchandise sales, which play a significant role in a superstar’s rise to the top. Yet, he has not won a single title in WWE. This highlights WWE’s missed opportunities to capitalize on a red-hot talent’s popularity.
These are the top 5 active WWE Superstars who, despite their experience and immense popularity, have not won any WWE Championship yet.
