8 WWE Title Reigns That Were Completely Wasted

8. Luke Harper Wins The Intercontinental Championship

Currently out with a torn ACL, Luke Harper is one of the most underrated wrestlers on the entire World Wrestling Entertainment roster.

In his short tenure in the company he has put on excellent matches against wrestlers as varied as Daniel Bryan, Dean Ambrose, Cesaro and Dolph Ziggler, and whilst some were surprised at him winning the Intercontinental Championship back in November 2014, they really shouldn't have been. He is a true talent.

Harper seemed to be in line for a respectable push at this time, carrying the IC title into Survivor Series and being the penultimate man eliminated from The Authority's team. His reign was utterly underwhelming though, another victim of the lack of interest WWE seemingly has in its secondary titles when they aren't held by a man called John Cena.

All Harper needed to do was defend the belt on a few occasions, pick up some wins and then drop it. Heck, you could have had the same length of reign (one month), but giving him a couple of defences in that month would have made a huge difference. As it was, Harper with the Intercontinental Championship was a big waste of time for both him and the title.

His time will come again though, that much I'm sure of.
