It can be said, that the WWE has become a household of talents, considering the huge amount of potential the current roster has. However, due to this, several talented performers are suppressed and have not been able to fulfil their potential, especially on the main roster.

In the pro-wrestling circuit, titles often dignify the hard work of the wrestlers and is most often a huge sign of a push that benefits the individual. Additionally, a title around the waist gives the holder added responsibility, which can be an opportunity to develop even further.

Over the years, wrestlers have been rewarded for their consistency by adding a title to their name. Nonetheless, the WWE has a wide array of talents that are yet to win any gold despite performing at their best level, week in and out.

Therefore we take a look at 5 WWE main roster Superstars, who could go onto win their first title in the upcoming months.


#5 Buddy Murphy

The Cruiserweight division has sprung back to life ever since the arrival of Drake Maverick and the roster of 205 Live has done well to almost nullify the absence of their former star-performer Neville.

The tournament for the vacant Cruiserweight Championship turned into a huge success, with Buddy Murphy turning out to be one of the best performers plying his trade in the division.

Despite crashing out in the quarter-finals to Mustafa Ali, Murphy has gone onto make a huge statement after WrestleMania 34 and is on a roll at the moment due to his ability to deliver stellar matches with high consistency.

Murphy's recent clash with Cruiserweight Champion Cedric Alexander for the title was highly praised and is regarded as one of the best matches in the division to date. The performance has certainly improved Murphy's chances at winning the title in the coming months, in order to continue elevating the image of the title.

#4 The Revival

The old-fashioned heel tag team The Revival, comprising Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson, were poised for great things upon their call-up to the main roster after dominating the tag-team circuit in the NXT.

However, recurring injuries and the WWE's negligence towards the tag-team division have taken a huge toll on the duo who are currently closer to a jobber status than a title shot in the company.

With the tag-team roster of Monday Night Raw looking extremely bleak, handing over the titles to The Revival after a decent build-up could be just what the division needs. Dawson and Wilder are the perfect candidates to lead the tag-team division and deserve to win the titles sooner rather than later, considering their former reputation and undeniable talent.

#3 Asuka

There are very few WWE Superstars that come close to Asuka in terms of dominance. The Empress of Tomorrow went undefeated during her entire NXT stint before finally meeting her match in Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 34.

The time to crown the Empress should not be delayed for too much longer, as the Japanese Superstar has a lot to offer against the SmackDown women's roster.

All of her hard work from day one at NXT should be rewarded at Money In The Bank with a maiden title win. Potentially, this could lead to seeds being planted for the second clash against Charlotte, since the first one received positive acclaim.

Despite lacking the mic skills that a champion usually requires, Asuka makes up for it with her in-ring work and unique charisma. She could portray the dominant champion needed to further elevate the women's division.

#2 Samoa Joe

Considered as one of the biggest talents in pro wrestling, Samoa Joe has been surprisingly underutilised in his short stint in the main roster.

However, a switch to SmackDown in the recently concluded Superstar Shake-up could be a sign of good things to come, as the Samoan Submission Machine has been the highlight in several episodes of the blue brand.

Joe has proven to be a dependable champion in the past and definitely has all the ingredients required. He could be a vicious heel champion terrorising the SmackDown roster and could be offered a lengthy title reign to really prove his worth.

The Samoan's title reign could involve a plethora of dream matches with other members of the blue brand, such as AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton.

Joe, who walks in to Money In The Bank as one of the favourites to clinch the briefcase, is certainly the most deserving of the contestants to do so.

#1 Sami Zayn

The Underdog from the Underground is astonishingly without a single title reign on the main roster, despite spending over two years as one of the company's best workers.

His role as a heel has somewhat elevated him in terms entertainment, but unfortunately, it has not helped him secure a title so far. With 2018 halfway done, there is still hope for Zayn to win a belt this year.

His brilliance in NXT has been undermined on SmackDown and Raw, as Zayn has struggled to impress the WWE management, despite being a fan-favorite all over the globe.

The Canadian's determination and his passion towards the business makes him the most worthwhile and deserving candidate to win a title at the topmost level, the sooner it happens, the better.

The WWE needs to act fast on Zayn since it won't be long before it gets to such a frustrating level that his work-rate and performances may drop. Zayn has often been close to a belt, but that's as far as he has gotten in the WWE.
