5 WWE Raw Superstars who have not won on Raw in over a year

Do wins and losses really matter when it comes to the crazy world of pro wrestling/sports entertainment? Not particularly, especially when you consider that an established WWE Superstar like Rusev has lost 17 pay-per-view matches in a row and his reputation as a serious competitor on SmackDown Live is still intact.

In some cases, however, a Superstar goes so long without picking up a victory that their career starts to be defined by the number of matches that they do and do not win.

For example, over the last year in WWE, Goldust and Sami Zayn have both been members of the Raw roster but, due to surgeries that they underwent in mid-2018, neither of them have managed to win any matches on Raw since before WrestleMania 34.

Needless to say, they get a pass on this one because of their injury problems, but there are several other Superstars who are currently going through a long winless run and they are showing no signs of getting a long-awaited 1-2-3 on WWE’s flagship show.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at five current men and women from the Raw roster who have not won a match on the red brand in over a year.

Disclaimer: Although Brock Lesnar has been a member of the Raw roster for the last year, he is not included due to his part-time schedule. For the record, his last Raw win came against Tommy Dreamer in July 2002.

#5 Viktor

In September 2018, Konnor won his first televised singles matches in over five years when he surprisingly pinned Chad Gable and Bobby Roode in back-to-back weeks on Raw. Sadly for his tag partner, fellow Ascension member Viktor, he was not so lucky.

The former NXT Tag Team champion has won one match on WWE television in the last year, teaming with Konnor to defeat Heath Slater & Rhyno on an episode of Main Event in July 2018, but he has since lost 23 matches in a row.

Given that The Ascension were members of the SmackDown Live roster from 2016-18, you have to go way back to August 2015 for Viktor’s last victory on Raw, when he teamed with Konnor, Big E & Kofi Kingston to defeat Diego, Fernando, Kalisto & Sin Cara.

#4 Zack Ryder

With 11 televised victories since WrestleMania 34, Zack Ryder has picked up more wins than most WWE mid-carders over the last year. The problem, however, is that all of those victories have come on Main Event, and not a single one of them has taken place on the show he represents, Monday Night Raw.

The former Intercontinental champion moved from SmackDown Live to Raw in the 2018 Superstar Shake-Up and had to wait eight months to compete in a televised match – a 15-man Battle Royal – on the red brand. Since then, he has competed in three tag matches, each time with Curt Hawkins as his partner, losing against The Revival, Lucha House Party and Heavy Machinery.

Like Viktor, Ryder was a member of the SmackDown Live roster from 2016-18, so his last win on Raw dates all the way back to July 2016 when he teamed with Apollo Crews, Bubba Ray Dudley, D-Von Dudley, Jack Swagger, Kane, Mark Henry & The Big Show to defeat Alberto Del Rio, Cesaro, Chris Jericho, Kalisto, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Sheamus & Sin Cara.

#3 Rhyno

Rhyno has appeared sporadically in tag matches on Raw with Heath Slater over the last year, losing against duos including Akam & Rezar, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre, Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel, Bray Wyatt & Matt Hardy and Bobby Roode & Chad Gable.

His biggest storyline during that time came in December 2018 when he lost a match against Slater on Raw which resulted in him being ‘fired’ from the show, per the orders of authority figure Baron Corbin. Following Corbin’s removal from the Raw GM position, Rhyno returned on Christmas Eve to help prevent Slater from being attacked by Jinder Mahal and The Singh Brothers.

Sadly for the ECW legend, the resulting 3-on-2 handicap match against Mahal and his sidekicks ended in defeat, which means he still hasn’t won a match on Raw since he teamed with Slater to pick up a victory over Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson in a Street Fight in October 2017.

#2 Dana Brooke

Dana Brooke recently vented her frustration about her current position on Monday Night Raw during a promo segment with Ronda Rousey. The following week, she was given a Raw Women’s Championship match against “The Baddest Woman on the Planet” which ended in defeat and lasted just 17 seconds.

Since WrestleMania 34, the former Titus Worldwide member has won just two televised matches, both in November 2018, with the first victory coming against Alicia Fox on Main Event and the second coming in a Starrcade tag match alongside Bayley, Sasha Banks & Ember Moon against Fox, Mickie James, Nia Jax & Tamina.

As for Raw victories, Brooke’s last televised win on the show came one week before WrestleMania 34 when she teamed with Asuka to defeat Alexa Bliss & Mickie James in a tag match, and her most recent singles win on the red brand came in April 2017 against Fox.

#1 Curt Hawkins

Well, of course. Curt Hawkins had to appear somewhere on this list – he’s the biggest serial loser in WWE history, after all. As of the time of writing, he has lost an unprecedented 269 matches in a row, including five on Raw in the last 12 months.

In terms of television time, the former Edgehead has appeared more frequently in recent weeks than at any time since he returned to WWE in 2016, but his reunion with Zack Ryder is yet to result in a victory for the former Tag Team champions.

Hawkins’ last victory came on SmackDown Live against Apollo Crews in November 2016. However, if we’re looking solely at his record on Raw, the stats show that he has never won a match on the red brand, which is astonishing when you consider that he debuted in WWE in 2007 and competed in his first Raw match in 2011.
