10 WWE Superstars Who Deserve A Secondary Title Reign
9. Shelton Benjamin
Benjamin is already a three-time IC and one-time US champ, but seeing him wear that gold again would be a cathartic moment for many a WWE fan. Plus, he would be able to put over any challenger as a legend-in-waiting with blistering showings between the ropes.
The guy can clearly still go, and the younger members of the roster would benefit from working with him. While he is 45, and his best chance at a top spot well is behind him, a glowing singles title run would give Benjamin one more chance to showcase his undying style and slickness in the ring.
Ideally, this wouldn't involve the breakup of The Hurt Business as they are killing it right now, so maybe Benjamin could exact revenge on the man who takes the US title from Bobby Lashley. He could defend the belt without his colleagues' help; perhaps Lashley is chasing the WWE Championship by this point. A few months with the United States Championship would do wonders for Benjamin, the title, and each opponent he elevates with phenomenal showings.
