10 Wrestlers WWE Fans Most Want To Win A World Title

No one forgets when a fan favorite finally wins the big one. Christian, Daniel Bryan, Eddie Guerrero, and most recently Kofi Kingston are the poster children of performers finally grasping the brass ring. Legends like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and John Cena (among many others) have helped make the WWE title the best prize in all of wrestling, which makes it all the more better when the not so heavily pushed fan favorites finally have their day.

While there have been many great world champions over the years there are some deserving talent that the belt has passed over. This usually happens because of the current star power of another performer, looking at you John Cena and Brock Lesnar, but can also be the result of terrible booking decisions like was the case with Jinder Mahal. Shinsuke Nakamura, Rusev, and Cesaro apparently aren’t suitable for the big belt but Jinder is?! What the f**k were you thinking Vince?

What’s even more frustrating is that there are some that finally get their hands on the coveted and elusive world title only to have poorly booked and lackluster title reigns. What makes this so frustrating is feeling like a performer was never given the true respect they always deserved. With all that being said let’s take a look at 10 current WWE wrestlers who we the fans most want to win a world title.

When Finn Balor beat Seth Rollins at Summerslam 2016 to become the first ever Universal Champion he also became the quickest wrestler in WWE history to win a world title at just 27 days. Fans went nuts.

Finn had been drafted to RAW just one month earlier in the first round of the new brand split, and winning the title in his first pay per view match was the perfect kickoff for what would surely be an incredible run… Except, it wasn’t. Unfortunately, Finn also tore the labrum in his shoulder during the match after taking Seth Rollins’s signature running powerbomb onto the outside barrier. Finn was then out for 9 months before making his TV return and his push slowly deteriorated, as did his momentum.

Finn Balor is incredibly talented. So talented many fans wish we got to see him more, but unfortunately right now in WWE we as fans can’t have nice things. Here's to hoping his feud with Shinsuke Nakamura for the IC title puts both of them back on Vince’s radar and we can one day see the Finn Balor world title reign that fans’ want, and more importantly that he deserves.
