Grand Slam is one of the highest and most prestigious honors in WWE today. In the last two years, a lot of superstars have checked the Grand Slam achievement off their bucket lists.
The likes of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, and Jeff Hardy have all become Grand Slam Champions in the past year or so. Winning every championship that WWE has to offer is a major deal in wrestling, and not many reach the pinnacle.
Under the new format of Grand Slam, WWE considers superstars who have won the WWE/Universal Championship, United States Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and either of Raw or SmackDown's Tag Team Titles.
We look at five superstars who are just one championship victory away from joining the prestigious club of Grand Slam Champions.
#5 Dolph Ziggler
It is quite weird to see Dolph Ziggler on this list, as he is advertised as a 2x World Champion in WWE. However, Dolph Ziggler won the World Heavyweight Championship twice, a title which is not considered under the current format in WWE.
Dolph Ziggler has always been an immensely talented superstar who could never grab the brass ring. Both his championship victories were tainted, and he somehow fades into oblivion every year.
Dolph Ziggler needs to win either the WWE Championship or the Universal Championship to be recognized as a Grand Slam Champion under the current format. He may not be showing up on events frequently nowadays, but Ziggler could very well be a solid contender for the world title at some point.
Ziggler even competed for the WWE Championship twice in 2016, losing to Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles on two separate occasions.
#4 Kevin Owens
'The Prizefighter' Kevin Owens has won a lot of championships in his relatively short stay on the main roster. Almost all his career on the main roster has seen him either defend a championship or compete for it.
Kevin Owens defeated John Cena in his very first match in WWE and has since gone on to win every title, barring the tag team championships.
Could Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn win the tag team gold soon?
#3 Sheamus
Sheamus has several accolades in WWE. He has won the Royal Rumble, Money in the Bank, King of the Ring, 3x WWE Champion, and several tag team championships with Cesaro.
However, the Intercontinental Championship has eluded the Irish superstar for quite a long time. A sure-shot future Hall of Famer, Sheamus will look to complete his trophy cabinet sooner rather than later.
#2 John Cena
It is pretty baffling to think that 16x World Champion John Cena has not won a single Intercontinental Championship in his 17-year stay with WWE. John Cena won the US title in 2015 and elevated the belt to greatness.
John Cena has had a storied career in WWE, and needs just one more championship win to secure his status in the list of Grand Slam Champions.
#1 Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston is currently touted to face Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship. One of the most athletic superstars in WWE, Kofi has toiled for over eleven years in the promotion.
Kingston has won several championships in WWE, including a 500 plus day title reign with the tag team championships! Kofi could very well join this list soon if he overcomes Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35!
