10 WWE Champions Who Deserved Longer Runs

Alongside Bayley, Sasha Banks has been one of the stand out stars of 2020. The slow burn of their disintegrating friendship is a rare example of patient booking in the company’s recent history, and especially during the empty arena days, their character work and in ring action is a highlight of every show.

Now that they’ve split, Sasha has been thrust into the face role, and the smart money is on her taking Bayley’s Smackdown Women’s Championship off her. When she does, let’s hope she gets a strong, lengthy run with the gold, because Sasha’s title runs have been strangely limp so far.

Banks’ five runs with Raw’s top prize add up to 106 days on top. She’s one of the best talents in the division, and WWE clearly recognises this in her booking at large, and yet every time they book her with the belt, they seem to get cold feet.

There are clearly only bright things ahead for Sasha Banks, but her next title run needs to be a long one. It’s the least she deserves.
