4 ways Curt Hawkins' losing streak could end in WWE

The story of Curt Hawkins' losing streak is something most didn’t know about until WWE publicised it, or fans just didn’t care too much about a superstar the creative team didn’t believe in either.

Most recently WWE published a video detailing the impact of losing on Hawkins' confidence levels, his push in the company, and the impact on his career as a whole.

Now its quite predictable to see where WWE is taking this angle, as Hawkins is probably next in line for a Cinderella push, as the B Team was before him. As fans we expect more from the WWE, because they have a chance to build up one of their most underused stars.

As history dictates, Hawkins' eventual push would be a short one, but how can WWE make it memorable enough to make it one of the highlights of this year? The losing streak coming to an end could be a lucrative angle, if WWE takes full advantage.

#1 Reunited with an old friend

Zack and Hawkins could light up the Raw tag team division if handled properly

Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins are no stranger to one another, as these two men found early success in the WWE by being WWE Hall of Famer Edge’s sidekicks. While the role was not glamorous, it did help the fans get acquainted with the Edge heads, and these men even found success as Tag Team Champions.

So the question is, why can’t WWE replicate that success? Ryder and Hawkins are both members of Raw, and both have no narrative. A reunion between both stars would be huge for Raw, and not only in terms of nostalgia, but for the stagnant Raw tag team division.

Hawkins ending his losing streak by reuniting with Ryder could possibly be one of the best moments on Raw this year if done right.

#2 An opening in a title picture

The IC Title open challenge offers many opportunities for the roster

Seth Rollins' IC Title run has been lackluster due to WWE’s insistence in having The Shield reunite and take part in a million different storylines, and that has caused the IC Title reign of Rollins to drop in quality. But the IC Title open challenge Rollins has employed over the last few weeks on Raw could be the answer to the IC Title’s woes, and Hawkins' losing streak.

While some might see Hawkins taking the IC Title from Rollins as a terrible decision by WWE, it will actually be a smart one if WWE wants to keep Rollins engaged in The Shield narrative, so it will allow the midcard to have its title.

Whether Hawkins' IC Title win would be long-term or not, it would be a shocking moment if Hawkins' two hundred plus losing streak ends with a title win.

#3 A victory over the World Champion

An unexpected boost of momentum

The sight of Roman Reigns against Curt Hawkins could be a comical one for many, but if WWE is serious about getting Hawkins' career off the ground once again, this could be the most shocking way they could do so.

Reigns has positioned himself as a fighting champion that will take on all comers, and Hawkins has been portrayed by WWE as someone that is willing to make an effort to finally break his string of defeats.

Having Hawkins go over against the biggest star in the company is surely going to make headlines, but of course WWE will never let Reigns lose clean to a superstar like Hawkins, and possibly a DQ or count out victory will suffice.

This would be a monumental break for Hawkins who could ride a wave of momentum for the rest of the year, and it will certainly be pleasant to see Reigns interacting with other members of the roster instead of the same stars every single week.

#4 Better luck in another division

Maybe a change in environment could assist the man

205 Live is one of WWE’s best shows regarding actual wrestling that excites the viewer, and while the narratives on the cruiserweight show are not that memorable, the energy from the performers almost make up for that shortcoming.

Hawkins has not found success on Raw and SmackDown Live ever since his return, but by dropping a division down to 205 Live, we could see his narrative gain the traction it would probably never get on Raw.

We have seen NXT stars such as Buddy Murphy make the transition to the division in the past to find success. Yes Hawkins is no Murphy in terms of in-ring skill, but there could be a place for him on the show, and that could bring his losing streak to an end.
