10 Superstars Who'd Benefit From A Return Of The World Heavyweight Championship

6. Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt has been referred to by fans as this generation's Jake "The Snake" Roberts, a legendary performer who never held a single title during his WWE tenure. Similar to the master of the DDT, Wyatt doesn't need championship gold to get over with the audience, but that's not to say he isn't deserving of a title run at some point. Interestingly enough, Wyatt has competed for a championship only once in the two years he's been on WWE's main roster. Would that be any different if the World Heavyweight Championship wasn't retired? I guess we'll never know, but he'd have a better chance of contending for that title than the WWE Championship at the moment. Granted, Wyatt's main motivation isn't title gold, but a run with the prestigious prize wouldn't hurt. As The Eater of Worlds said himself in mid-2014, with championships come power - and with power comes fear, which is what Wyatt craves most. If nothing else, it'd help him get back to where he was before he lost to Cena, Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.
