Over the years, countless stars have walked in-and-out of WWE, but not all of them know what it feels like to be on the pinnacle. However, the ones who do, it surprisingly hasn't guaranteed them a run with a world title or any other championship, for that matter.
Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels are just a few WWE Superstars who held multiple championships in their illustrious career.
However, not every Superstar was as lucky as them when it came to holding a title multiple times or at least once, despite having a remarkable run with WWE.
In this list, let's take a look at some biggest Superstars who never held a title in WWE and find out the reasons why such happened. Let's get started.
#5 Lex Luger
Lex Luger walked through the doors of WWE for the first time in 1993. He made his debut as a heel called "The Narcissist". After fighting with the likes of Mr. Perfect, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Bam Bam Bigelow, and many others, Luger established himself as one of the top Superstars in WWE's mid-card.
A few months after his debut, Luger made a surprising leap to the main-event scene when he'd chosen to fill the shoes of Hulk Hogan who had left WWE.
While Luger was pushed heavily and was involved in the biggest rivalry of that year with Yokozuna for the WWF Championship, he never connected with fans on the level WWE wanted. As a result, Luger's run with the WWF Championship was canceled, and he'd find himself relegated to the mid-card tier.
However, Luger would once again unsuccessfully challenge Yokozuna for the WWF Championship next year after winning the Royal Rumble match.
Luger would then swiftly move away from singles action and join forces with Davey Boy Smith. While the two Superstars would go on to challenge for the tag team championship at In Your House 2 PPV, they would come up short. Shortly after, Luger would part ways with WWE without bagging a single title during his two-year tenure with the company.
#4 Jerry "The King" Lawler
Many might think what's the name of Jerry "The King" Lawler is doing on the list, considering the man is a WWE Hall of Famer and has won dozens of titles outside of the company. Therefore, how it could be possible that a Superstar like him has never bagged a single title victory during his illustrious WWE career.
Lawler made his WWE in-ring debut at Royal Rumble 1993. While Lawler feuded with the likes of Bret Hart, Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior and many others to establish himself as one of the top heels in the company, he never found himself winning a major feud to bag gold.
After working merely three years as a full-time wrestler for WWE, Lawler swiftly transitioned into a commentator and he'd be known as one of the iconic voices on the commentatory table during the Attitude Era.
Lawler would once again step foot inside the WWE ring multiple times, but the story would be the same and the Hall of Famer would still fail to bag a single title to his long list of achievements.
#3 Jake "The Snake" Roberts
Just like the past two entries on the list, Jake "The Snake" Roberts had a real shot at winning a title in WWE, but his huge popularity let that from happening. That's right.
In late-1986, Roberts got involved in the Intercontinental Championship picture when he'd start feuding with Randy Savage. While he never took the title away from him, his excellent run as a heel landed him into the main event scene right away, and he'd found himself in a program with then-WWF Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan.
Unfortunately, the feud between the two men was cut-short after fans started cheering for Roberts, who at the time was a heel, and responded less positively to Hogan. Roberts himself explained this in this video.
Due to this, Roberts never got a chance to fight Hogan for the title, but his upsurge in popularity forced WWE to turn him a face and make him a mainstay on the main event scene.
While Roberts would go on to become a major fan-favorite, WWE wouldn't risk putting the World Title on him since Hogan was the biggest box-office drawer at that time and taking the title off him would've probably hurt his credibility.
Whereas, putting a secondary title on Roberts wasn't much of an option either, considering Roberts' huge popularity, which is why the Hall of Famer never bagged a single title in his six-year-long run with WWE.
#2 Torrie Wilson
When WWE entered into the Ruthless Aggression era, Torrie Willson was one of the biggest Superstars in the women's division. During the first-ever brand split, Wilson was drafted to SmackDown, where she had her first major feud against Dawn Marie. This helped her to jump into the main event scene right away.
Acknowledging her popularity, WWE would put Wilson in a feud against the WWE Women's Champion, Molly Holly. While Wilson would face Holly for the title multiple times, she'd always found herself inches away from defeating the champion and bagging the gold from her.
Wilson would then go on to feud with the likes of Sable, Stacy Keibler, Ashley Massaro and many other big Superstars. At a point, she'd even join forces with Ric Flair and Carlito, whom she'd accompany to the ring. However, she'd rarely found herself again in the Women's Title picture.
While Wilson would go on a short hiatus to heal her back injuries in 2008, she'd eventually decide to hang up her wrestling boots and subsequently bid farewell to WWE without ever holding a single title in her nine-year-long career with Vince McMahon's company.
#1 Dusty Rhodes
Dusty Rhodes was one of the biggest Superstars in the history of professional wrestling. With his exceptional mic skills and in-ring prowess, The American Dream became very successful while working for NWA, WCW and ECW. His unparalleled charisma also gave him a chance to work with WWE in his late-40s, though his stint with the company wouldn't be much successful.
While working for WWE, Rhodes feuded with the likes of Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase and many others to establish himself as one of the biggest Superstars in the company.
However, Rhodes didn't enjoy much time at the top as he walked out of WWE after working for just two years. Not only did Rhodes conclude his WWE career without any title victory, but he also never found himself challenging for the gold.
While Rhodes would make his comeback to WWE in 2005, this time around, he'd be already retired and focused more on his role backstage in the company. He did occasionally step foot inside the squared circle as well.
