The WWE is the biggest wrestling promotion, and wrestlers dream of getting a contract with them. Once in the company, they want to achieve as much as they can during their time there.
Many wrestlers have been blessed by the company, and they have achieved far more with the company than the fans could have ever thought possible. Other times, many talented wrestlers fall behind and the creative are unsure how to utilise them on the main roster.
Superstars like John Cena, AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar, and Seth Rollins have all enjoyed a lot of success with the company, due to their talent and charisma, but many other notable wrestlers have fallen behind.
This has led to a clear distinction between the elite superstars and the not so elite ones, as many prominent superstars do not have a WWE championship to their name.
Lets take a look at 4 top superstars at the moment who have surprisingly not won a championship on the WWE main roster.
#4 Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn had one of the most successful and intense NXT careers. His success on the brand made him a fan favorite, and he was seemingly evolving into a main roster elite for the WWE.
Just like Daniel Bryan, he’s the underdog who leaves no stone upturned in a bid to come on top. Sadly, Zayn has not even come close to Bryan’s success.
Zayn’s best feuds have always been with Kevin Owens, and even his best pairing has been with Owens. Individually against other wrestlers, he has somehow never started on the right foot, which has made many of his matches forgettable. Zayn was a face, but turned heel after years, and the move did not do much for the wrestler.
It is a cause for concern that such a talented wrestler in the WWE has not won gold since his NXT run.
#3 Asuka
Going by the work Asuka put in during her time in NXT, there was little doubt she would become the champion in whichever brand she was promoted to.
However, after being on the main roster for quite some time, Asuka has found herself far from the championship. Her undefeated streak saw her reach new heights in the WWE, and make waves across the industry.
WWE watered down her rise quite easily by making her taste defeat at the hands of their favorite women’s talent Charlotte, and later brought her down to the mid-cards.
Not only did this affect her position on the main roster, but it also affected her popularity and connection with the fans. After winning the first ever women's Royal Rumble, no one expected the fall of Asuka this quickly.
Even though Asuka is far from the title picture at the moment, there still remains hope that The Empress of Tomorrow will rise once again and win the women’s championship.
#2 Elias
Elias’ inclusion in the main roster, and his gimmick, provided a new and fresh angle to Raw. He insulted the crowd night after night, and also established himself as a decent heel in the process.
To top that off, he is also one of the better workers in the ring, and has the capability to work some good matches.
Even though he has gotten some chances to win gold on the main roster, little work has been done to establish him.
Elias is definitely one superstar who must at least win the Intercontinental Championship by the end of 2019, and even now it feels somewhat odd that he hasn’t had a title run yet.
While Raw is already packed with lots of feuds, chances will increase for Elias to rise to the top once the new year begins, and he could very well be catapulted onto the title scene.
#1 Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe is by far the most experienced main roster superstar who is without a championship. This is extremely surprising, keeping in mind that he is one of the best heels and most talented superstars in the WWE today.
Joe has received quite a few chances at winning championships, but somehow he has never been handed any prize by the WWE, which is somewhat mysterious.
The Samoan Submission Machine has worked for many wrestling promotions, and has garnered a lot of success with each one of them, similar to his fellow superstar, AJ Styles.
Even though that is the case, he was first developed in NXT before he was pushed onto the main roster, and has since faced a few injuries, which could be a reason why he has not been chosen as a champion.
If the wrestler decides to stay with the company for a couple of years, there is little doubt he will win some main roster gold.
