5 Superstars who need to win their first title in 2019

There can be few things better than capturing a championship as a part of the WWE roster.

Winning a title in WWE cements your legacy forever. In the years and decades to come, your name will live forever as part of an elite list of few Superstars who were able to capture gold.

There's something all-encompassing about championship gold, as every man and woman on the roster, no matter how big or small, no matter how featured or unfeatured, wants to be champion.

Several titles in WWE have decades of history, including the WWE Championship, which this year turned 55.

Some titles, are relatively new, most notably the NXT United Kingdom Championships, which are still in their infancy.

For some Superstars though, they are yet to capture title gold in WWE but are hoping that this will soon change.

Here are five Superstars who will be hoping to win their first titles in 2019.

#5 Elias

He may be popular, but Elias is yet to hold gold.

The Living Truth has had an incredible 2018, after joining the Raw roster last year.

Whether it sharing the ring with John Cena at WrestleMania 34 or becoming one of Raw's top babyfaces in recent months, there's no denying that Elias has made 2018 his year.

And despite this, the musical monster is yet to hold championship gold, something he will be hoping to change in 2019.

Perhaps a solid mid-card feud with a heel champion could be what Elias needs to capture the Intercontinental Championship, or maybe a tag-title run, though I can't exactly see the Living Truth wanting to share the spotlight.

Or maybe, Elias could move to SmackDown in the 2019 Superstar ShakeUp, and could be the man to finally dethrone current WWE United States Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura.

#4 Gentleman Jack Gallagher

Could Gallagher become Cruiserweight champion in 2019?

With his quirky British charm, fashionable dress sense, and effortless skill in the ring, it's a real surprise that Gentleman Jack Gallagher hasn't already held gold in WWE.

But after joining the WWE in 2016 following the Cruiserweight Classic, the Gentleman has remained in the mid-card of 205 Live, only VERY occasionally making his presence known on Raw.

Winning the Cruiserweight Championship could do a world of good for the British star in 2019, as either a face against current champion Buddy Murphy or as a dastardly heel against a different champion.

As champion, Gallagher could breathe new life to the purple brand, that is still struggling to gain viewers, despite amazing matches being given to the fans each and every week.

Hopefully, the brand will finally find it's footing in 2019, and Gallagher will be champion in 2019.

#3 Tye Dillinger

Despite being the Perfect 10, Dillinger rarely gets a win.

When I say that these Superstars need to win their first title in 2019, perhaps no-one NEEDS a win more than Tye Dillinger.

Despite his perfect-10 gimmick, Dillinger may have the worst win-loss record of all Superstars on this list, losing repeatedly in NXT and even more-so on SmackDown Live.

The last memorable thing the Canadian has done was stand up to Randy Orton several weeks ago, an act that saw Dillinger be assaulted for his troubles.

Currently off-screen with a hand injury, Dillinger desperately needs something big in 2019 or could see himself be future endeavored.

A shock title win, perhaps over Nakamura for the US Title next year would be the biggest win of Dillinger's career, and would certainly save him from the annual post-WrestleMania releases, which he edges closer to each and every week.

#2 Apollo Crews

Crews joined the company in 2015.

When Apollo Crews joined the WWE in 2015, debuting on their NXT brand, people had high hopes.

The former Uhaa Nation had done great things on the indie scene before joining and was quickly ushered into a feud with then NXT Champion, Finn Balor.

However, this title match, just weeks into his career, proved to be Crews' pique in WWE, as the Superstar has been featured less and less each week.

Now in 2018, Crews is barely shown on TV, and with Titus Worldwide now being a thing of the past, isn't expected to be seen much more.

A title win in 2019 would definitely turn things around for Apollo, who needs a title.

Interestingly, when the brand split happened, Crews was the first in line for an Intercontinental title shot on SmackDown.

Perhaps a return to the blue brand is in the cards.

#1 Bobby Lashley, titleless since returning

Despite being a former champion, Lashley is yet to hold gold since returning.

Now to be fair, Bobby Lashley has held gold in WWE, winning the United States Championships in 2005, and the ECW World Championship twice, once in 2006, and again in 2007.

But ever since returning to the WWE on the night after WrestleMania 34, Lashley hasn't held any gold, despite the occasional attempt at the Universal Championship.

Whilst Lashley is one of the most featured stars on Monday Nights, a title would certainly be a big accolade to add to the Almighty's already accomplished career.

A reign as Universal Champion would certainly be interesting to see and allow for the title to be taken away from current champion Brock Lesnar.

Even a stint as Intercontinental Champion couldn't hurt Lashley and would help elevate the prestigious white strapped title in 2019.
