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.
Roman Reigns Ascends to Legendary Status with New Milestone Championship Record
In the hallowed halls of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), few superstars have etched their names into the annals of history as profoundly as the current Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns. As the WWE Universe bears witness, Reigns continues to redefine dominance, setting an unparalleled championship milestone. A Return that Shook the WWE Universe Ever since his triumphant heel-turn comeback at SummerSlam 2020, Roman Reigns, affectionately dubbed “The Tribal Chief”, has reigned supreme over all adversaries. His conquest began when he claimed victory against Bray “The Fiend” Wyatt and Braun Strowman, securing the coveted Universal Championship. The following days, weeks, and months would see Reigns cement his status as an indomitable force in WWE. Top Contenders Bow to the Tribal Chief To understand the gravity of Reigns’ reign, one must consider the formidable opponents he’s faced.

Yet, all of them met the same fate – a testament to the resilience and strength of the Universal Champion. Two Titles, Two Unprecedented Records While the Stamford-based promotion delineates the Universal Championship and WWE Championship on their official website, Reigns’ impressive feats across both titles are impossible to ignore. As per WWE.com, Reigns’ hold over the Universal title has now extended to a jaw-dropping 1082 days, and the ticker shows no signs of slowing down. Yet, the Universal Championship isn’t the only gold that The Tribal Chief has clutched tightly. After a legendary bout against Brock Lesnar, “The Beast Incarnate”, at last year’s WrestleMania, Reigns secured the WWE Championship. This victory propelled him to another incredible record, holding the title for 501 days and counting. What’s Next for the Undisputed Champion? With such dominance, the WWE Universe is abuzz with speculation and anticipation. Who, if anyone, can halt the reign of The Tribal Chief? As Reigns approaches these milestone records, challengers will undoubtedly line up, eager to etch their name alongside – or even above – his. However, for now, Roman Reigns continues to etch his saga into the WWE history books. His achievements not only elevate his personal legacy but also raise the bar for future WWE Superstars, setting a standard that might be insurmountable. In a world of spectacle, athleticism, and storytelling, Roman Reigns’ tale is one for the ages. As days turn into weeks, and weeks into months, the world watches with bated breath. Will the reign of the Tribal Chief continue, or will a new challenger rise to the occasion? Only time will tell, but for now, the spotlight shines brightly on WWE’s unparalleled champion.
Rob Van Dam was insulted when he was made WWE Hardcore Champion
Rob Van Dam, a name synonymous with the extreme and violent action that characterized the ECW in the ’90s, recently opened up about his feelings regarding the WWE Hardcore Championship. His sentiments stem from what he believes was WWE’s mockery of a superior art form that he helped pioneer. “I felt like they were making fun of us in ECW,” Van Dam said on the latest “One of A Kind” podcast. This opinion sheds light on a significant era of wrestling history and how the star viewed WWE’s attempts to replicate what ECW had created. The Degradation of the Hardcore Match Van Dam’s disdain is rooted in the difference in philosophy between ECW and WWE. In his view, ECW made wrestling cool to even those who weren’t wrestling fans. The high-impact, violent nature of ECW was copied by both WWE and WCW, but according to Van Dam, it was often done poorly. The Hardcore title matches on “Monday Night Raw,” seemed like a joke to Van Dam, diminishing the essence of what a Hardcore match meant to him. “RIP Crash Holly but it pretty much meant the hot dog stand was gonna get tipped over … the Hardcore match was something to laugh at,” he remarked. Making the Hardcore Title Mean Something Moreover, despite his initial contempt for the title, Van Dam was determined to elevate the status of the Hardcore Championship once it was thrust upon him. His hard work and dedication paid off, as he was able to redefine what the title meant within the WWE universe. His success in making the title significant led to its eventual unification with the Intercontinental Championship, retiring the belt in 2002. RVD’s Continued Connection to His Extreme Roots Van Dam’s extreme past is far from forgotten. His recent appearance on “AEW Dynamite,” where he challenged “Jungle” Jack Perry for his FTW Championship—a title that originated in ECW—shows that his commitment to the hardcore style is still strong. His debut in AEW came at the behest of his ECW friend and rival Jerry Lynn, further cementing the connection between his storied past and current ambitions. Fans eagerly await next week’s edition of “Dynamite” to see this exciting match. Rob Van Dam’s candid thoughts on WWE’s Hardcore title provide a fascinating insight into the mind of a wrestler who helped define an era. Also, his dedication to the art form, his struggle to make the Hardcore Championship meaningful, and his continued involvement in extreme wrestling paint the picture of a man committed to his craft. Lastly, with Van Dam still active and embracing his roots, fans can only hope that his influence continues to shape the industry, preserving the spirit of hardcore wrestling that he holds so dear. His legacy in ECW and efforts in WWE will remain a significant chapter in the annals of professional wrestling.
Rising Star Dominik Mysterio Poised for Dual Championship in WWE
In an unprecedented turn of events, Dominik Mysterio, a rising star in WWE, has positioned himself with the potential to end the week as a double champion. After clinching the NXT North American Championship from Wes Lee, he now looks forward to two further championship matches. Mysterio’s Stellar Triumph in NXT Having earned significant support from his faction, Judgment Day, Mysterio achieved an impressive victory over the formerly undefeated Wes Lee in the most recent episode of NXT.

Amid cheers and jeers, Mysterio’s triumph over Lee was marked by an unwavering determination, impressive athletic prowess, and a brilliant tactical approach. These qualities have undeniably contributed to his rise as a top heel over the past year, despite being booed every time he takes the mic. Two World Heavyweight Championship Matches In an announcement that has sparked widespread excitement, Arena CDMX, and Arena Monterrey revealed that Mysterio is set to face Seth Rollins in two World Heavyweight Championship matches this week. This offers Mysterio a golden opportunity to potentially end the week holding both the World Heavyweight Championship and the North American Championship. While this is a challenging feat to achieve, given the high stakes involved, it’s a testament to the immense faith WWE sees in Mysterio’s capabilities. Despite these opportunities, it remains to be seen how these matches will play out. The challenge of facing off against Seth Rollins, a seasoned wrestling veteran, in back-to-back matches will undoubtedly push Mysterio to his limits. Upcoming Championship Matches Adding intrigue to the unfolding events, Mysterio’s faction mate, Finn Balor, is also slated to face Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight title at SummerSlam. The outcome of Mysterio’s matches against Rollins could have significant implications for Balor’s title challenge. While WWE has not often changed titles on house shows, there are instances where it has happened, proving that the outcome of these matches is not set in stone. These matches offer Mysterio a unique opportunity to secure a significant place in WWE history, but they also put pressure on him to maintain his winning momentum. Dominik Mysterio’s ascension in WWE has captured the attention of wrestling fans worldwide. His upcoming matches against Seth Rollins will undoubtedly prove to be critical in determining whether he can continue his rise to the pinnacle of professional wrestling. With his considerable talent and unyielding spirit, it will be thrilling to watch Mysterio’s pursuit of double championship glory.
