5 former WWE Superstars who should have been world champion

#2. Cesaro

Cesaro was arguably the most underrated WWE Superstar of all time. He left the promotion in February 2022 after working for WWE for over eleven years!

The Swiss Superman was a powerhouse, high-flyer, and the technical star of WWE. In his long-standing career, he only wrestled in one WrestleMania, which he fortunately won. Cesaro beat Seth Rollins at WrestleMania in a singles bout.

2021 was a great year for him as Cesaro challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship in the main event of WrestleMania Backlash.

Cesaro was never given a proper world title feud and wasn't able to showcase his incredible talent. Now that Cesaro is a free agent, fans are hoping for him to win the world title in other promotions.

#1. Adam Cole

Adam Cole is one of the biggest stars WWE failed to capitalize on. He's been the greatest heel on NXT. Cole, the second-ever NXT Triple Crown Champion, is considered the best NXT Champion of all time.

Cole was NXT's biggest draw during his championship reign. He pulled off excellent matches throughout his NXT run. Cole was scheduled to debut on the main roster as Keith Lee's manager. He wasn't a fan of the idea, and decided not to renew his WWE contract.

The Panama City Playboy could've been a main eventer at WrestleMania. Instead, he joined AEW and is currently challenging Hangman Page for the AEW World Championship at Revolution 2022.
