5 current WWE Superstars who are probably never becoming World Champion

Being a WWE Superstar is not an easy task. All the superstars and wrestlers that we see on our screen on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT have had to go through a lot of trouble and efforts to get where they are right now.

Wrestlers all around the world dream to come to WWE one day, which is arguably the biggest wrestling promotion in the world. But there are many who not only make their way to WWE but also rule the division by becoming the World Champion.

Throughout the company's history, we have witnessed many wrestlers hold the gold and become World Champions. While there are some who have done it multiple times, there are also wrestlers who never get the honor to be called a World Champion.

Recently, we saw Kofi Kingston do the unthinkable and finally become the WWE Champion after being in the company for the last 11 years. The wrestlers mentioned in this list should take inspiration from him and keep working hard and hope WWE higher authorities realize their potential and take the risk of putting the title on them.

So, let's take a look at the 5 Current WWE Superstars who probably would never become a World Champion (WWE or Universal Champion, as of now) in the company. Do let me know who do you think definitely deserves one chance to have a reign as a World Champion.

#5 Ricochet

The best high-flyer in the world right now?

Now, before you guys start attacking me with your words in the comments section, I'd like to make it very clear that Ricochet is one of my favorite wrestlers in WWE right now. I mean, how can you not love this guy!

His incredible high-flying skills and agility inside the ring make him unique in many perspectives. I'd even go on to say he is at par, if not better, with Rey Mysterio, whom many consider the greatest high-flying superstar.

But there are a few things that are holding him back from becoming the top superstar in the company. Firstly, his size is not the ideal one that Vince McMahon pictures as a World Champion. Though, with Kofi becoming the WWE Champion, Ricochet somehow passes this criterion.

But when it comes to a character and the attitude and charisma behind it, Ricochet lacks badly in those things. He is not that good on mic and unless WWE gives him a proper mouthpiece or manager, I don't think we will see him as the World Champion in the company.

Even in NXT, we saw him win the North American Title, but he never won the NXT Championship. The same could happen on the main roster. He surely would make for a great mid-card champion, but a World Champion? I doubt Vince would take that risk!

#4 EC3

EC3 was one of the guys who was called up to the main roster earlier this year. And honestly, he has been wasted so badly that it's easy to forget that he is even signed to the company. He was a top guy in TNA, but somehow WWE has not acknowledged the amount of talent that this guy possesses.

Currently, EC3 is one of the superstars with no direction whatsoever and one has to wonder why was he called up to the main roster so soon rather than spending some more time in NXT? Vince surely doesn't see him as a World Champion, and his current booking is a clear proof of that.

#3 Mojo Rawley

So from the last few weeks, WWE has been airing backstage promos from Mojo Rawley, which seemingly hinted at a character change for him with him becoming a vicious heel.

Last week, he debuted a new look on the Main Event episode where he faced Heath Slater and defeated him quickly. The fact that he debuted on an episode of Main Event rather than on RAW clearly shows us that the creative doesn't really care much about him.

His biggest achievement so far in his WWE career is winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 33, but ever since he was had no clear direction. I won't be surprised if he joins the list of superstars asking for their release from the company soon.

#2 Apollo Crews

Apollo Crews, according to me, is one of the most underrated wrestlers in WWE as of now. Just take some time and watch any of his matches and you'll realize the immense amount of potential this guy possesses.

But the lack of charisma and his inability to capture fans with his mic-skills hasn't really done him any favors. WWE tried teaming him up with Titus, but that didn't quite turn out well. Considering his booking on the main roster so far, it's safe to assume that Apollo, unfortunately, would never be a World Champion in the company unless some miracle happens.

#1 Rusev

Rusev could have been a great World Champion!

Rusev is my second favorite wrestler on this list, after the One and Only, Ricochet.

Whenever I think of him, I recall the time when I was present on Monday Night RAW at SAP Center, San Jose, in February 2018. Rusev was a part of the SmackDown roster then, but the crowd broke into "Rusev Day!" chants a couple of times throughout the night which made me realize how over Rusev actually was at that time. Despite that, Vince never pushed him the way he pushed Kofi after the massive crowd support.

With that Rusev Day gimmick supposedly over now, the signs don't look really good for Rusev as of now. Currently, he is teaming up with Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown, but Rusev has openly expressed his frustration with his current booking and position in the company. With all this, it's a sad reality that we need to digest that Rusev will most probably never win the World title in WWE.
