For now, though, he and Ridge Holland are waiting in the wings for their chance to dominate the tag team division, led by Sheamus, a five-time Tag Team Champion in his own right. With Paul Levesque heading up creative, however, there’s a strong chance that Butch will ultimately step out into his own again, perhaps even regaining his old Pete Dunne moniker. Butch only joined the duo this past March, while Ridge Holland aligned with ‘The Celtic Warrior’ last November they haven’t exactly had a chance. Given WWE’s outrageously stacked doubles division on Friday Night SmackDown and The Brawling Brutes’ recent formation, it’s easy to see how The Brawling Brutes – outside of Sheamus – are yet to capture a main roster WWE championship.
Until then, though, she’s one of the unlucky few on WWE’s main roster. She’s currently in the semi-finals of the ongoing Women’s Tag Team Championships tournament, teaming with Raquel Rodriguez as they eliminated Shotzi and Xia Li from the bracket, so Aliyah’s fortunes may soon turn around. Instead, she’s typically used to elevate the career prospects of her colleagues, regularly losing to the likes of Shayna Baszler, Natalya, and Shotzi.
The Canadian had been with NXT since 2015 but yet, she never held a championship in the brand, let alone the main roster, joining the SmackDown roster as part of the 2021 Draft. Until then, they’ll be waiting in the wings… AliyahĪliyah is a curious prospect in WWE. The majority of these names will, at some point, etch their name into WWE history books and off this feature, particularly with the new creative direction of the company under Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque. If WWE wants to gain some mainstream attention, then they’ll likely strap up either of the cross-platform stars but alas, there’s no need for their inclusion here. In Steveson’s case, he’s yet to officially debut on the red brand while Paul, despite wrestling two matches, is a part-time performer. Additionally, previous holders of the WWE 24/7 Championship are counted as former main roster champions, regardless of WWE’s lack of care for the green belt this means no Rick Boogs, Angel Garza, Doudrop, et al.įinally, Gable Steveson and Logan Paul, both of whom are classed as main roster WWE Superstars, will not be included. Note, the following WWE Superstars haven’t won a championship since joining the main roster – this means former NXT and NXT UK champions awaiting their first taste of glory on Raw or SmackDown DO count. That it took WWE five years to achieve that is living proof of their reliance on the same batch of talent, albeit seminal talent, time and time again. For example, Liv Morgan’s victory of the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Money in the Bank marked the first time since 2017 that the blue brand’s Women’s Championship changed hands in a match not featuring a member of the Four Horsewomen.
