In the make-believe world of sports entertainment, Championships and titles might not mean as much as other combat sports, however, every Superstar aspires to call himself Champion and while many are lucky to be handed such opportunities almost right off the bat, others have to work for them for a longer period of time.
Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news.
Here we look at 5 top Superstars who have yet to win gold on WWE's main roster:
#5 Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn has seen a career resurgence ever since he aligned with Kevin Owens after helping him pick up a win against Shane McMahon in their Hell in a Cell match.
Before his heel turn, Zayn was floundering on the roster and was essentially reduced to an enhancement talent.
It looks like Zayn and Owens have split paths again with Zayn entering a feud with Bobby Lashley as of now.
However, unlike Kevin Owens who has won a multitude of championships since he made his way to the main roster, Zayn has been unable to capture even a single belt in his almost 2-year stint on the main roster.
With his singles career picking up again, we hope Sami Zayn can call himself champion before the end of 2018.
#4 Shinsuke Nakamura
The Artist Shinsuke Nakamura is unarguably the greatest Japanese import to WWE in recent times. His entry into the WWE was extremely hyped and unlike his run in NXT, Nakamura failed to make an impact on the main roster and many started losing faith in him.
A lackluster match with AJ Styles at Wrestlemania 34 for the WWE Championship did not help his case either. However, what did make an impact was his heel turn right after his match concluded when he low-blowed AJ Styles.
The feud for the WWE Championship between the two men has been going on since then, and although Nakamura has failed to win the belt till now, he will get another shot at MITB in a last man standing match.
#3 Elias
After a lackluster run in NXT, Elias debuted on RAW in April 2017.
Elias surprised a lot of people as he heavily impressed with his mic skills (especially his "musical performances") and in-ring ability.
Unfortunately for Elias, he could not find any major footing or feud to help establish him as a solid competitor and drifted from one underwhelming feud to another for the major part of his main roster career.
The Drifter now finds himself entangled in a program with The Architect and current IC Champion- Seth Rollins, who he will be facing at MITB.
It is being rumored that Seth Rollins is next in line for a shot at the Universal Championship, so it only makes sense for Rollins to drop the IC Championship to an up and comer like Elias who would be greatly benefitted by becoming the Intercontinental Champion.
#2 Bo Dallas
Unlike Elias, who was not prominent in NXT, Bo Dallas was a cornerstone during the early days of NXT. The second NXT Champion and one of the best heel acts in NXT was reduced to a jobber and comedy show when he made his way to the main roster.
Even though it seemed like Dallas was being set for a push in late 2016, it was soon axed and instead, he joined the Miztourage along with Curtis Axel becoming a lackey of The Miz.
With Miz drafted to Smackdown, Axel and Dallas rebranded as The B-Team seem to be getting a push and have earned the chance to face the RAW Tag Team Champions for the Championships.
In my humble opinion, Dallas, if given the right chances can prove to be spectacular and hopefully his long and lackluster main roster run will come to fruition if he is able to capture the Tag Team Championships soon.
#1 Samoa Joe
The Samoan Submission Machine is one of the most intimidating wrestlers on the WWE roster today. However, the 39-year-old who made his debut on the main roster in 2017 is yet to open his Championship account.
Samoa Joe was transferred to Smackdown as part of the annual draft and is currently a part of the 8-man MITB match at the Money in the Bank PPV.
Many feel that Joe is being wasted and his full potential has not been realized ever since he came to the main roster.
Joe has a huge opportunity to get a shot at the WWE Championship if he can manage to win the MITB contract and continue to cement his legacy as a top performer.
Who do you think deserves to win a Championship first among these men?
