After determining the Top 5 Champions in WWE today, one wonders about the opposite: The worst champions in the company currently.
Championships are the most important aspect of any wrestling promotion and a champion represents the company as a whole and the values it stands for.
A large company with a profound global impact like the WWE has an array of championships and many champions holding them. The total number of championships across the four brands (Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and UK) is 14!
A bad champion is one who is not having great matches in the ring and/or has poor storylines. The latter is a not a fault of the wrestlers themselves but it undermines the prestige of the championships and results in a bad product as a whole.
So, here are the 5 worst champions in WWE today!

#5- Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss has been successful since the day she joined the main roster. She won her first championship in the WWE when she defeated Becky Lynch in a tables match.
She was drafted to RAW and at Payback, and she overcame Bayley to become the Raw Women's champion which made her the first woman to capture the top titles of both Raw and Smackdown.
Her runs with the title have had its ups and downs, good heelwork and ability on the mic have made her a dominant presence on Raw but she has also been a part of some bad in-ring segments.
Her Money in the Bank cash-in against Nia Jax on the same day as she won the briefcase was a great move to delay the inevitable championship win for Ronda Rousey but ever since she won the title, the story has gone stale. Much of the focus has been on Rousey and this has overshadowed the champion and hopefully, this storyline will culminate at SummerSlam in the coming weeks.
#4- The B-Team
The Raw tag team titles are probably the least relevant title in the company. The title has been used as a plot device to further storylines like that in the case of Rollins and Jordan or used for one-off moments like the case of Braun Strowman and Nicholas!
The dream team of the 'Eater of Worlds' Bray Wyatt and the 'Woken' Matt Hardy eventually dropped the title to the B-Team at Extreme Rules after an uninspiring run.
The individuals, Bo and Curtis are great talents in their own rights, but as the sidekicks of the Miz, they lost almost all of their matches and a few upsets could not build the credibility that WWE would have hoped for.
If the direction for the duo goes the same way, it is probable that the B-Team will fall back into obscurity.
#3- The Bludgeon Brothers
Luke Harper and Eric Rowan were repackaged as 'The Bludgeon Brothers' late 2017. After squash matches against enhancement talent and low card teams, the dominant duo got their hands on the SmackDown Tag team titles when they defeated The Usos and the New Day at WrestleMania 34.
Every episode of SmackDown Live features the likes of the New Day, Usos and The Bar which could make one forget about the champions themselves!
The duo are great in their own rights with Luke Harper being one of the most underrated talents in the company today. Good storylines and a string of great matches could turn the tides for the team.
#2- Brock Lesnar
It takes a Paul Heyman promo every Monday night to remind us that the beast incarnate is still the Universal Champion!
He is the longest reigning Universal champion and he has not wrestled since his steel cage encounter against Roman Reigns at the Greatest Royal Rumble back in April. He won the title from Goldberg at WrestleMania 33 and has defended only 13 times! For comparison, CM Punk reigned for 434 days and defended it 150+ times.
Many young and talented superstars on the roster are yearning for an opportunity but do not get the platform due to the inactivity of the champion.
The booking team has incorporated this absence and ignorance of Brock into their storyline which will culminate at SummerSlam where he defends it against Roman Reigns.
#1- Carmella
This is the age of women's wrestling renaissance and WWE is the forerunner of Women's revolution and evolution. But the circumstances by which Carmella has won and keeps winning is definitely against the message that the company is trying to convey.
The disappointment of Carmella's run with the title is more because of James Ellsworth than Mella herself!
Right from that awful wink at Money in the Bank to all the cheap tactics of the 'No chin musician' undermines the champion and as a result- the championship itself. A roster that has talents like Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Asuka does not deserve a champion who needs James Ellsworth to seal a victory.
Carmella is scheduled for a triple threat match against the aforementioned Lynch and Charlotte, and hopefully, with the Ellsworth factor removed, this will be a new dawn for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
So, that's it for the list, who else do you think should be on this list or should not?
