Titus O'Neil hasn't done anything much of note during his decade-long stint in WWE so far, but he has certainly managed to keep a spot secure for himself on the main roster for such a long time. O'Neil is a former WWE 24/7 Champion, and was actually the first Superstar to hold the belt. He has also won the Tag Team titles along with Darren Young, on one occasion. He garnered mainstream coverage, mostly courtesy of memes, when he botched his entrance during the Greatest Royal Rumble match in Saudi Arabia, back in 2018.

Before his stint in Florida Championship Wrestling in 2009, O'Neil played football for a long period of time. Back in the late 90s, he played for Florida Gators. After finishing college, he had a four-year stint in Arena Football League (2003-2007), and played for several major teams during his run, including Carolina Cobras, Utah Blaze, and Tampa Bay Storm. One wonders where would Titus be today if his football career had taken off back then.
