A WWE singles World Championship is almost certainly the ultimate goal for every man and woman that debuts on RAW, SmackDown or NXT.
Starting out your career as part of a tag team or a stable can be a great way for a Superstar to begin his or her WWE run. The likes of Seth Rollins, Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart, and Roman Reigns all made their promotional debuts as part of a unit. Each of these Superstars, of course, went on to have magnificent singles careers once they struck out on their own.
At one time or another, the vast majority of WWE Superstars have had the opportunity to go it alone as a singles act. Few tag teams or factions last forever, with WWE often keen to capture the drama of a team splitting as part of a storyline.
There are a select few, though, that have yet to be afforded the chance to try and establish themselves as solo performers. Here are five current WWE Superstars who have never had a singles run.
#5 Jimmy Uso
Jimmy and Jey Uso have now been members of the WWE main roster for over ten years.
The twin brothers debuted as a tag team on the RAW brand back in May 2010. In that time, the duo have enjoyed six reigns as tag team champions. However, a knee injury suffered by Jimmy at WrestleMania earlier this year gave Jey the opportunity to shine in his own right.
As part of a deeply personal feud with his cousin, Roman Reigns, Jey has now challenged for the WWE Universal Championship at two WWE pay-per-view events this year.
The pair's bouts at Clash of Champions and Hell in a Cell rightly received strong reviews. While Jimmy was involved in the finishes of both bouts, he has never had the WWE spotlight shone solely on himself.
Could Jimmy Uso soon have a singles run in WWE?
Jimmy Uso is still yet to be cleared to return to the ring following his injury. Interestingly, in the recent WWE Draft, only Jey Uso was picked up by SmackDown.
Therefore, at this time, we do not officially know where Jimmy's future lies in WWE. Will he remain on the blue brand alongside his brother? Or will Jimmy follow his wife, Naomi, to RAW?
With Reigns and Jey recently joining forces on SmackDown, it seems most likely that Jimmy will return to the blue brand once he is healthy.
However, a switch to Monday nights could see Jimmy break out of the tag team bubble - and finally get a singles push in his own right.
#4 Samir (and Sunil) Singh
Once a heavily-featured support act as part of the WWE Championship reign of Jinder Mahal, The Singh Brothers have faded from view significantly in recent times.
Coming off a run as The Bollywood Boyz on 205 Live, Sunil and Samir debuted on SmackDown in April 2017 by helping Mahal become the number one contender for the WWE Championship. Mahal, of course, would go on to defeat Randy Orton shortly afterward to lift the belt.
Things went south for the group after Mahal lost the title, though. In January 2018, Samir would suffer an ACL tear during a ringside brawl with Robert Roode. The injury would put Samir out of action for more than nine months.
Once he returned, Mahal had dropped down the card and was no longer part of the main event mix. The association with Mahal was dropped when The Singh Brothers were drafted back to 205 Live in April 2019.
Samir and Sunil have both had several brief reigns as WWE 24/7 Champion
The comedic nature of the WWE 24/7 Championship means that a title reign counts for very little.
However, both Samir and Sunil are recognized as multiple-time champions. Samir has five reigns, while Sunil is credited with four. The majority of these reigns were accumulated during a run of December 2019 live events.
As both siblings were battling alongside each other for the belt, these reigns hardly constitute a singles run for either man.
Now back on 205 Live under the Bollywood Boyz name, it is tough to imagine either of The Singh Brothers being granted a genuine singles opportunity by WWE at present.
#3 Bobby Fish
The Undisputed Era is the most successful faction in the history of the WWE NXT brand. Between them, Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish have held every championship available on the Wednesday night show.
Cole is the longest-reigning NXT Champion in history. In addition, both he and Strong have had their own respective runs with the NXT North American Championship.
Even O'Reilly has challenged for gold on NXT's biggest stage, having faced off with Finn Balor for the vacant NXT Championship at last month's TakeOver 31 event.
The odd man out here, of course, is Bobby Fish. The former two-time NXT Tag Team Champion is an integral part of The Undisputed Era but has never been afforded the same solo opportunities as his stablemates.
Will The Undisputed Era eventually make their way to WWE RAW or SmackDown?
The accomplishments of The Undisputed Era in NXT surely mean that the group is destined to make their way to RAW or SmackDown at some point in the future?
It is for this reason that WWE should refrain from breaking up the group. The Undisputed Era is a stronger act as a whole than its members would be individually.
Bobby Fish will one day get his opportunity to shine on a bigger stage, but it should absolutely be as a part of The Undisputed Era.
#2 Montez Ford (and Angelo Dawkins)
Until last month's WWE Draft, The Street Profits were the RAW Tag Team Champions. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins did not lose those belts in the ring, though.
Instead, after being drafted to SmackDown, they traded their titles with the then-Tag Team Champions of the Blue brand, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
The end result of this trade was that both sets of titles remained on their respective brands. It also meant that The Street Profits became only the second team in history (after Revival, now known as FTR) to have held the RAW, SmackDown, and NXT Tag Team Championships.
The Street Profits may have made quite the impression as a team in WWE, but neither Ford nor Dawkins has ever enjoyed a solo run in the company.
Montez Ford has the potential to be a major Superstar for WWE
Montez Ford is a fountain of charisma. The 30-year-old's ability of the microphone is unmistakable and it would be a huge surprise not to see WWE capitalize upon this in the future.
Having done all that there is to do as a duo in WWE, the company will likely have Ford in mind for a singles push once it feels that The Street Profits tag team has gone as far as they can.
#1 Xavier Woods
The New Day is one of the most beloved factions in WWE history, but they have recently been split up.
The group saw their more than six-year run as a trio ended when Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston were moved to RAW in the WWE Draft last month. The pair's departure from SmackDown leaves Big E as the sole New Day member on the blue brand.
Two members of The New Day have already held singles titles in WWE
Big E is expected to continue to receive a sizable push on SmackDown in the coming months. Fans of the former Intercontinental Champion will be hoping that he enjoys a similar main event run to that of his teammate Kingston last year.
Kofi was crowned WWE Champion at WrestleMania 35 after defeating Daniel Bryan to take the title. Kingston enjoyed a reign of 180 days before controversially dropping the belt to Brock Lesnar in a bout that lasted mere seconds.
While both Big E and Kofi Kingston have enjoyed solo success, the same cannot be said for Xavier Woods. Currently, in the midst of his tenth overall reign as a Tag Team Champion in WWE, Woods has yet to lift a singles prize in the company.
Having moved brands alongside Kingston, WWE clearly intends for Woods to remain under The New Day umbrella for the foreseeable future.
As one of the most charismatic Superstars in all of WWE, there can be little doubt that Woods possesses the ability to strike out on his own. For now, though, the 34-year-old will continue to be a highly entertaining part of the RAW tag division.
