5 biggest WWE Championship mistakes from the 2010s

#4 No Barrett Run

We love you, Wade

Back in the summer of 2010, The Nexus stable was the coolest thing going in professional wrestling.

The seven rookies from NXT completely altered the dynamic of Monday Night Raw and WWE as a whole, and the stable was led by the one and only Wade Barrett.

The Englishman was an incredibly impressive performer, and yet for some reason, his efforts were never rewarded with a WWE Championship run.

Instead, the company continued to prioritize the likes of Randy Orton, who would quickly run out of steam as a babyface champion.

Usually, we aren't in favour of short title runs, but looking back on it, we'd give anything to have seen Barrett hold the strap for even a few weeks before The Miz eventually cashed in his Money In The Bank contract.
