17 Former WWE United States Champions Who Never Won A World Title
8. Zack Ryder
The self-proclaimed 'cockroach of WWE' Zack Ryder had been a part of the organisation for a long time. Although he could never reach the pinnacle of the company, he stayed loyal to Vince McMahon and performed the roles he got. 'Long Island Ice-Z' won the Intercontinental Championship, the US title, and even the tag team titles during his run as a superstar.
Talking about his United States belt win, Ryder captured the title from Dolph Ziggler at the TLC pay-per-view event in 2011. He held the title for just 29 days before Jack Swagger defeated him on a RAW episode. The audience always cheered for him, which is why the creative team gave him two 'feel good' moments at WrestleMania.
'The Ultimate Broski' won the Intercontinental belt in a ladder match at the 32nd edition of the 'Showcase of Immortals' while three years later, he teamed up with Curt Hawkins to win the RAW Tag Team Championships from the Revival at the same event. Sadly, he is no longer a part of the roster.
