5 things Bray Wyatt surprisingly hasn't accomplished in WWE

Bray Wyatt has accomplished a lot over his 12-year WWE career, but there are five things he did not win.

WWE announced Bray Wyatt's release a few hours ago, ending his impressive 12-year run. Wyatt joined WWE in 2009 and made his debut as a member of The Nexus on Monday Night RAW in 2010. He was introduced to the WWE Universe as Husky Harris but was soon sent back to developmental before returning to the main roster with a much more entertaining character.

Creating The Wyatt Family was the turning point in Wyatt's career. The 34-year-old led the faction to become one of the most feared stables in WWE history, establishing himself as a main event player in the process. He later created The Fiend's persona, which had much success, too.

During his WWE run, Wyatt proved that he deserved to be a star. He went on to win the WWE Championship, Universal Championship, SmackDown Tag Team Championships, and the RAW Tag Team titles.

Despite all his success, there were a few things that Wyatt surprisingly could not accomplish in WWE with either of his three characters, Husky Harris, Bray Wyatt, and The Fiend.

Here are five things Bray Wyatt surprisingly hasn't accomplished in WWE


#5. Bray Wyatt never won the Intercontinental Championship

Despite winning several championships, Bray Wyatt has never been crowned Intercontinental Champion.

Wyatt has tried to capture the Intercontinental Championship several times but never succeeded. All his attempts to become Intercontinental Champion came on live events. His last Intercontinental title match came in February 2016 when he challenged Dean Ambrose at a live event on the Road to WrestleMania.

Since then, the 34-year-old has turned his attention to other objectives. Later that year, Wyatt won the SmackDown Tag Team Championships alongside Randy Orton, who had joined The Wyatt Family.

Luke Harper is the only member of the original Wyatt Family who had won the Intercontinental Championship. He won the title in November 2014 on Monday Night RAW after defeating Dolph Ziggler. Considering the historical value of the Intercontinental Title, it is a little surprising that Bray Wyatt never won it.

#4. Bray Wyatt never won the Royal Rumble

Bray Wyatt has been a top superstar for several years, but he has never won a Royal Rumble match. Wyatt competed in five Royal Rumble matches throughout his WWE career.

The 34-year-old participated in his first Royal Rumble match in 2011 as Husky Harris. He entered at number nine and eliminated three participants before being eliminated by The Great Khali.

In 2015, Bray Wyatt participated in his second Royal Rumble match. He entered at number five and avoided elimination for an impressive 46 minutes and 50 seconds. The Eater of the Worlds eliminated six other participants before being thrown over the top rope by Kane and The Big Show.

The New Face of Fear could not win the 2016 Royal Rumble, either. He entered at number 25 and was eliminated by Triple H and Sheamus without eliminating any participants.

Wyatt tried his luck again the following year. He entered at number 21 and fought for over 24 minutes. However, he could not win the match as he got eliminated by Roman Reigns.

The last time Bray Wyatt competed in a Royal Rumble match came in 2018. He entered the match at number eight and stayed in the competition for over 24 minutes. The 34-year-old eliminated two participants before getting eliminated by Matt Hardy.

Wyatt has not competed in the Royal Rumble match in the last three years. Winning the Royal Rumble seems to be something that will remain unaccomplished for The Eater of the Worlds.

#3. Bray Wyatt never won the United States Championship

Just as he has never won the Intercontinental Championship, Bray Wyatt never had the privilege of holding the United States Title.

Wyatt had five chances to capture the prestigious title. They all came against Sheamus at live WWE events between August and October 2014. However, The New Face of Fear could not capitalize on any of them. He lost the five matches by pinfall.

Since then, Bray Wyatt has never received another shot at the 46-year-old title. The championship will remain missing from his WWE accolades.

The Eater of the Worlds' failure to capture the United States Championship is no different from his brother's. Wyatt's brother and former WWE Superstar Bo Dallas also competed for the United States title on two different occasions. His first attempt to capture the gold came at a live event in September 2013. He competed in a triple-threat match against Fandango and then-current champion Dean Ambrose. The Lunatic Fringe successfully retained his title.

Dallas' second attempt at the US Title came a few weeks later during a live event in Abu Dhabi. It was a rematch between the three previously mentioned superstars, and it ended with the same result. The two brothers have recently been released from WWE without ever winning the prestigious title.

#2. Bray Wyatt never won a title in NXT

Following the failure of his Husky Harris gimmick, Bray Wyatt went back to developmental, which was then FCW. However, WWE soon rebranded FCW into NXT Wrestling. There, Wyatt debuted his new persona as the leader of the Wyatt Family.

The Wyatt Family became a dominant faction on NXT. In May 2013, Wyatt Family members Luke Harper and Eric Rowan defeated Adrian Neville and Bo Dallas, who filled in for the injured Oliver Grey, to capture the NXT Tag Team Championships.

Surprisingly, despite being the group leader, Wyatt is the only Wyatt Family member who had never held a championship in NXT. More surprisingly, Bray Wyatt never received any championship matches during his time on NXT.

Although he did not manage to hold any gold during his time on NXT, unlike his brother, Bo Dallas, who won the NXT Championship in 2013, Wyatt became a bigger star after getting promoted to the main roster. He went on to win the two major WWE titles.

#1. Bray Wyatt never won a Slammy Award

Bray Wyatt has had many amazing moments and impressive matches throughout his WWE career, but he has never won a Slammy Award.

Wyatt was up for six Slammys in 2013 as part of the Wyatt Family. The faction was nominated for Faction of the Year, Breakout Star of the Year, Beard of the Year, Hashtag of the Year, and Extreme Moment of the Year. The 34-year-old superstar was also nominated individually for Catchphrase of the year. He did not win any of the six Slammys.

Wyatt was nominated for several Slammys the following year, too, but won none. He ran for Superstar of the Year, Match of the Year, Faction of the Year, The "OMG!" Shocking Moment of the Year, and Fan Participation Award.

In 2015, The Leader of the Wyatt Family had the chance to win the "OMG!" Moment of the Year alongside his faction. WWE also nominated the entire roster for Superstar of the Year, including Wyatt. Again The Eater of the Worlds came out empty-handed.

The Slammy Awards were discontinued for four years following the 2015 event. In 2020, WWE brought back the 35-year-old awards, and Bray Wyatt was again among the nominees.

Wyatt, who had adopted The Fiend's persona, was nominated for Superstar of the Year and Male Superstar of the Year but lost both to Drew McIntyre.
