10 WWE Superstars with the longest gaps between title reigns

#6 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper - 14 Years and 7 Months

A 1980's dream team

Despite being one of the biggest wrestling stars of the 1980's (and ever), the late great 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper never held the WWE Championship.

Despite being as incredible as he was, his time in the spotlight also had to happen at the same time as Hulk Hogan's three-year reign as WWE Champion. It wouldn't be until 1992 when Piper would finally win gold in WWE, defeating The Mountie for the Intercontinental Championship at the Royal Rumble. He would hold it for a couple months before losing it to Bret Hart at WrestleMania.

Piper would hold Championship gold in WWE once more, but it wouldn't come for another 14 years. Just over a year and a half after he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, piper was announced to be one of the potential candidates to be voted by the fans to team with Ric Flair at Cyber Sunday 2006 to challenge the Spirit Squad for the World Tag Team Championships.

Piper would in fact be voted in, over Dusty Rhodes and Sgt. Slaughter, and he and Flair would defeat the cheerleaders to become Tag Team Champions.

Roddy Piper and Ric Flair would hold the Tag titles for just over a week before losing them to Edge and Randy Orton.
