WWE creative has worked hard to build certain Superstars much more than others. Viewers have watched several well-built men and women go on great undefeated streaks that helped to elevate their careers.
Fans are already aware of the iconic undefeated streaks involving Superstars such as Goldberg, Bruno Sammartino, Asuka, André the Giant, and Umaga. However, their undefeated streaks have been well documented by the company itself.
However, there are many other WWE Superstars who may not have had their undefeated streaks in the spotlight as much as the names mentioned earlier.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the seven lesser-known WWE undefeated streaks.
#7 Lars Sullivan had a great WWE NXT undefeated streak
Making his initial appearances as Dylan Miley in WWE NXT in 2015, Lars Sullivan lost for the first time in his second outing to Apollo Crews. Soon afterward in May 2017, WWE rebranded him as Lars Sullivan and booked him to go on an impressive undefeated streak.
Sullivan’s singles run saw him go through several Superstars including Oney Lorcan, No Way Jose, Marcel Barthel, and Raul Mendoza before he started aiming for the top.
Sullivan lost his first singles match by disqualification to Kassius Ohno in November 2017, but that did not slow him down one bit. The Freak continued to pick up major victories until June 2018 where he was pinned for the first time on television by Aleister Black at NXT TakeOver: Chicago II.
This marked the end of The Freak’s incredible run that saw him remain undefeated for over six months and unpinned for over a year. Following his first loss, Sullivan continued to compete on NXT where he kept picking up victories without taking any pinfall losses.
In June 2019, Sullivan made his main roster debut and defeated Gran Metalik, Kalisto, and Lince Dorado of The Lucha House Party at WWE Super ShowDown. Sullivan competed in just three more matches over the next sixteen months, and he remained undefeated throughout.
Sullivan was released from his WWE contract in January 2021 after enjoying a dominant but very controversial career. Not many stars in recent years have been built as strong as Sullivan.
#6 Aleister Black enjoyed two great undefeated streaks in WWE
Aleister Black enjoyed an undefeated streak on the main roster after his move from WWE NXT in February 2019. He picked up his first loss in March 2020 at the hands of AJ Styles.
The streak should have helped Black reach the main event picture of RAW or SmackDown. But that did not happen, and Black has been off television screens since October 2020.
This wasn’t the only undefeated streak Black enjoyed in WWE. After changing his character from Tommy End to Black in 2017, the Superstar went on a lengthy undefeated streak in WWE NXT.
Black climbed the ladder and won the NXT Championship at NXT Takeover: New Orleans in April 2018 without losing any singles matches. He continued to win against every single Superstar he came across, including Adam Cole, Lars Sullivan, and The Velveteen Dream.
With the help of Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa became the first man to defeat 'The Striking Man from Amsterdam' in NXT in July 2018.
Black’s impressive run in NXT helped him become one of the top Superstars on the brand and made his move to the main roster appear very special.
#5 Pete Dunne had a 26-month undefeated singles run in WWE
Pete Dunne won his first match in WWE since the United Kingdom Championship Tournament against Mark Andrews on 1st February 2017 on NXT. A few weeks later, Dunne defeated Tyler Bate at NXT TakeOver: Chicago in one of the best matches of the year to win the NXT United Kingdom Championship.
The victory opened the door to one of the longest championship reigns in WWE history. Dunne competed against some of the top Superstars in NXT, including Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O’Reilly, and managed to defeat them all.
Even though Dunne lost in tag team matches and multi-men matches, he remained undefeated in televised singles matches until April 2019. Dunne competed against WALTER at WWE NXT TakeOver: New York where he took his first televised singles loss since winning the title.
The loss also marked the end of his phenomenal 685-day NXT UK Championship reign. It was also the first, and only, singles match Dunne lost under the NXT UK banner. The Bruiserweight has had a great run in WWE, and his twenty-six-month undefeated reign in singles competition proves that WWE holds him in high regard.
#4 WALTER has been on a dominant run since his WWE debut
WALTER has proven himself to be one of the most dominant Superstars in WWE today. The Ring General received a great pop when he made his NXT UK debut and has only competed in a handful of matches since.
However, each one of WALTER’s matches has been a masterpiece, and he has enjoyed an incredible run in NXT UK. The Austrian had his first WWE match in NXT UK in January 2019. After defeating Mark Coffey and Jordan Devlin, WALTER defeated Pete Dunne in April 2019 to become the NXT UK Champion and end Dunne’s singles undefeated streak.
WALTER has been undefeated in NXT UK singles competition ever since and has only lost a single tag team match in his career. The chops master has enjoyed incredible NXT UK matches against Trent Seven, Tyler Bate, Ilja Dragunov, and A-Kid to name a few.
It’s been over fourteen months since The Ring General debuted in NXT, and even though he has lost by disqualification to Seth Rollins on an episode of WWE RAW, he has not lost any singles matches in NXT.
WALTER is having a great run as the NXT UK Champion, and he could end up going down in history as one of the most dominant WWE Champions of all time.
#3 Bobby Lashley started with a noticeable undefeated run in WWE
Bobby Lashley is the frontrunner to top the list of the toughest men in WWE today. After a disappointing return to the company in 2018, Lashley turned things around last year and finally won the WWE Championship in 2021.
While Lashley’s current run in WWE has been nothing short of impressive, his initial run in 2005 was extremely dominant too. Lashley had his first match in WWE in August 2005 against William Regal, after which he went on an incredible undefeated streak.
Lashley defeated several WWE Superstars, including Regal, Orlando Jordan, and John “Bradshaw” Layfield during his streak. 'The All Mighty' suffered his first singles loss at No Way Out 2006 against JBL.
In November 2006, Lashley moved to the ECW brand where he enjoyed another impressive undefeated streak as the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Lashley took his first pinfall loss since becoming the ECW Champion against Mr. McMahon on a March 2007 episode of RAW.
Lashley has consistently been presented as one of the most dominant forces in WWE during both of his runs in the company, rarely ever losing clean in singles action.
#2 Drew McIntyre was The Chosen One thanks to his undefeated steak in WWE
Drew McIntyre is on top of WWE in his current stint and has been doing a great job at keeping things alive in the pandemic era. McIntyre’s victory at WrestleMania 36 helped him get to the top of the ladder and finally fulfill the prophecy.
The Scottish Warrior was predicted to succeed in WWE during his initial stint in the company. He was dubbed the “Chose One’ by Vince McMahon in 2009 and was seen as a future World Champion early in his career.
After a short appearance in WWE early on, McIntyre debuted on SmackDown in August 2009 as a heel. He got into a rivalry against R-Truth and went on an undefeated streak from there.
By October 2009, McIntyre had become WWE Intercontinental Champion, and the sky appeared to be the limit for the Scottish Superstar. McIntyre’s first televised singles loss came in late February 2010 against Kane. However, Mr. McMahon later forced SmackDown's GM, Teddy Long, to expunge the loss.
Another loss at the hands of Matt Hardy met the same fate, before he finally took his first official loss at the hands of The Undertaker in March 2010. Before the Undertaker bout, McIntyre technically had a undefeated streak lasting almost six months during which he picked up over a dozen singles victories.
The Scottish Warrior enjoyed another undefeated streak starting in November 2019. McIntyre continued to pick up wins before winning the 2020 Royal Rumble. He then defeated Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36 in his biggest win yet.
It wasn't until October 2020 that McIntyre lost his first singles match against Randy Orton at Hell In A Cell. McIntyre had gone undefeated for almost an entire year by this point.
Do you remember The Scottish Warrior’s first run in WWE as The Chosen One?
#1 CM Punk went on a great undefeated run with his WWE Championship
A pipe bomb promo helped CM Punk become arguably the most controversial Superstar in all of WWE. Known for his work in the ring and on the mic, Punk enjoyed one of the best careers in WWE history.
One of the Second City Saint's greatest accomplishments was his 434-reign as the WWE Champion.
Punk defeated Alberto Del Rio to win the title at Survivor Series 2011 and went on an incredible undefeated streak during Championship matches. Punk lost his first non-title match by pinfall over a month later to Dolph Ziggler. However, that was a gauntlet match. He later lost another match to Ziggler by count-out in January 2012.
It wasn’t until May 2012 that Punk lost his first singles match by pinfall to Daniel Bryan. At WWE Royal Rumble 2013, Punk finally lost his WWE Championship to The Rock, ending an incredible title reign that saw him successfully defend his Championship dozens of times.
Despite Punk’s reign having several disqualifications and no-contests, it remained incredible to watch him survive it all and avoid getting pinned during a title match for more than a year.
