5 forgotten WWE Championship challengers from the 2010s

#4 R-Truth

Fans who only recently started watching WWE in the last few years will look back at this match and think "why on earth did this happen?" That makes sense, given that R-Truth has been firmly positioned as a jobber for years now. Alas, at the time, Truth was on something of a roll after turning heel and becoming this 'conspiracy theorist' kind of character. It sounds odd, but trust us, it was fun.

The match itself was a little bit disappointing, and now, it's clear to see that this was only being done in order to kill some time before CM Punk came into the limelight with his Summer of Punk storyline.

Still, that doesn't mean that fans should hate on Truth because there was a time when him winning the title felt like a genuine possibility.
