10 Big Superstars who never held any Championship in WWE

#7 Austin Aries

The greatest man that ever lived, everywhere but WWE

It really seemed like Austin Aries came to WWE at the right time.

Aries had tried to come to WWE in the past but was overlooked over his height, even reportedly failing to make the cast of the 2011 season of WWE Tough Enough. Before finally joining WWE in 2016, Aries held more than a dozen championships all over the world, including being a World Heavyweight Champion in both Ring of Honor and TNA Impact Wrestling.

Aries arrived in WWE at a time when Superstars of his height, weight and background were absolutely flourishing in WWE NXT. Initially debuting as a face, Aries had impressive matches with Baron Corbin, Buddy Murphy and Shinsuke Nakamura, among others. Aries suffered a large orbital socket injury during a live event in October 2016 and would be out of action until the following March. Aries would then spend the next and final three months of his WWE career feuding with WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville, but was unsuccessful in three Championship attempts.

Aries was released from WWE that July, after being told creative had nothing for him, but in reality, it was due to his alleged attitude issues. Had Aries kept his attitude in check, he likely would have been a great WWE Cruiserweight Champion and possibly moved onto other titles on WWE's main roster. At least he is doing better today.
