One of the biggest parameters to judge the success of any superstar in WWE is the number of championships they have won. These championships serve as a thrust for Vince McMahon's promotion to push the talent they see as having a future in the business.
Hall of Famers like Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels began their ascent to stardom with smaller championships. These stalwarts then climbed the ladder of success to cement their legacies by conquering the biggest prizes in the business.
Winning the WWE Championship, Women's Championship and the Universal Championship is the ultimate dream that every competitor has. To realize this dream they need to first conquer the smaller titles.
A classic case of humble beginnings serving as the foundation for esteemed careers, which brings us to the topic of this article.
Here's a look at 5 current WWE Superstars on the RAW and SmackDown roster who are yet to win a Championship.
#5 WWE Superstar - Shanky
Shanky is one of the most intimidating superstars in WWE. The seven-foot giant made his debut on Monday Night RAW earlier this year, having aligned with Jinder Mahal and Veer.
The giant has been in a singles battle with Drew McIntyre as well as a six-man tag-team contest with partners Jinder Mahal and Veer against the team of Jeff Hardy, Mansoor and Mustafa Ali. Shanky's in-ring domination is certainly worth every praise, having manhandled Jeff, Mustafa and Mansoor with much ease.
Now a SmackDown superstar after the Draft, Shanky and his partner Jinder Mahal can certainly look to challenge The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. Should they be successful in their pursuit of gold, it would be Shanky's first-ever title in the company.
#4 WWE Superstar - Doudrop
Doudrop has been impressive since making her WWE debut on Monday Night RAW earlier this year. Having beaten Naomi in her first match, Doudrop has had entertaining feuds with her former partner Eva Marie, who she beat on two consecutive occasions on the red brand.
Her momentum is certainly on the rise, having beaten Natalya in the qualifying round of the Queen's Crown Tournament, setting up a semi-final clash with Shayna Baszler next week on RAW.
The former NXT superstar also had a match with RAW Women's Champion Charlotte Flair for the title, albeit ending on the losing side due to a distraction from Eva Marie.
This being said, Doudrop can certainly look for another title opportunity on RAW if she wins the Queen's Crown.
#3 WWE Superstar - Liv Morgan
Despite being part of WWE since 2014, Liv Morgan has never won a major title. The former member of the Riott Squad started her career as a part of NXT and then moved to the main roster in 2017.
As a singles competitor Liv has recently started shining with crucial wins over Carmella and Zelina Vega on SmackDown. Having said this, she could not advance to the semi-final stage of the Queen's Crown Tournament suffering a loss to her nemesis Carmella.
Morgan is now part of Monday Night RAW after the Draft and can start afresh. She certainly has the caliber to work her way into the title picture on the Red Brand.
#2 WWE Superstar - Zelina Vega
WWE Superstar Zelina Vega is slowly building her way towards a maiden title opportunity. Vega has been on a roll of late with a crucial win over Toni Storm in the Queen's Crown Tournament.
She will next be in action in a critical semi-final clash against Carmella on the next episode of SmackDown. If she manages to triumph in that fixture, she will be just one win away from being anointed Queen.
The former NXT Superstar is now on Monday Night RAW after the recent Draft and can surely take this confidence to cement her name in the title picture on the Red Brand.
#1 WWE Superstar - Keith "Bearcat" Lee
Despite being a former NXT Champion, Keith Lee is yet to win a title on the main roster. The Bearcat, having made the jump to the Red Brand in August 2020, looked really dominant in destroying Akira Tozawa recently.
Lee would be keen to put his hat in the title mix again on RAW having had unsuccessful attempts in the past. He could, possibly, challenge United States Champion Damian Priest, who he has fought on NXT.
The WWE Championship is up for grabs at Crown Jewel in a match between Big E and Drew McIntryre. Lee could look to challenge whoever comes out of this with the title.
