5 former WWE World Champions who haven't won a top title in the last 5 years 

#4 Big Show (won his last World title in WWE eight years ago)

Big Show

Big Show is one of the most intimidating athletes in WWE history. After his run in WCW during the 90s, Big Show made his way to WWE and has been with the company ever since. Big Show won several titles in WWE, including two WWE titles and two World Championships. The behemoth won his first World title in late 2011, by defeating Mark Henry at the TLC event, in a Chairs match. Daniel Bryan spoiled Big Show's party and immediately cashed in his Money In The Bank contract to win the World title.

Bryan was defeated by Sheamus in the opening match of WrestleMania 28, which lasted 18 seconds. He would keep the belt for the next several months, until Big Show struck again and defeated Sheamus to win his second World title at the Hell In A Cell PPV. He would lose the belt to Alberto Del Rio on an episode of WWE SmackDown in early 2013, in a Last Man Standing match. This was it for Big Show in terms of World Championship victories. As years passed by, he turned into a part-time star. Big Show made his return to WWE TV earlier this year, and has been making occasional appearances since then.
