Every year, several superstars have the honor of winning championships in WWE. Oftentimes, a superstar will win several titles during their career. But nothing can beat the first time. It's a magical moment for the wrestlers and fans alike.

Flashback to the Backlash pay-per-view event last year when AJ Styles defeated Dean Ambrose. After a career that took him around the world, not only did AJ Styles finally make his debut in WWE, but he won the company's top prize only nine months later. Even though he had just cheated to beat one of the most popular superstars in the company, the fans erupted in cheers.

It did not matter that Styles was a heel. The fans who had followed this man from his days in TNA and NJPW were celebrating one of their favorites reaching the summit of professional wrestling. Fans of a certain Underdog from the Underground are poised to feel similar emotions during 2017.

Last year, there were 10 superstars and one tag team who won their first championship. Here are 10 other wrestlers who will claim that magical first title in 2017.

When WWE brought back the Cruiserweight division to Monday Night Raw following the success of the Cruiserweight Classic, many thought Neville would be spearheading the division. Instead, for one reason or another he was left off Raw as the cruiserweights struggled to connect with the audience.

However, after a return and well executed heel turn, the cruiserweights look back on track. Now Neville looks primed and ready to cement himself as the King of the division with a title win.
