This year is already almost halfway through and whilst much of the WWE calendar is already a blur, several superstars have had a shocking past six months.
While many stars are flying high in WWE as world champions like Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns, others have failed to pick up a single victory since the turn of the year.
Surprisingly, there are many well-known names on the list of superstars who are in perhaps what would be considered the worst run of their careers.
The following list looks at just five WWE Superstars from both the main roster and NXT who have failed to pick up a single victory in 2021.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5. Former WWE Superstar Billie Kay
Billie Kay is a former WWE Women's Tag Team Champion, but following the IIconic split last year, Kay was moved over to SmackDown.
Kay has since attempted to unveil a new character on the blue brand and was even aligned with Carmella as part of this year's WrestleMania. The two women came up short on night one of the show as they battled for a chance to face the Women's Tag Team Champions the following night.
Kay and Carmella were a surprising addition to the match since the two women had hardly interacted on WWE TV. Many fans had pressed the company to make the former Women's Tag Team Champion one of the hosts of WrestleMania instead of WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan.
Just days after Kay's WrestleMania defeat, it was revealed that the Australian star had been released from her WWE contract alongside her IIconics tag team partner Peyton Royce. This meant that Kay was only contracted to WWE for four months of 2021 so she wasn't able to wrestle in many matches.
According to CageMatch.net, Kay wrestled two matches before her release on April 15th, those matches came back at WrestleMania and much earlier in the year as part of her storyline with The Riott Squad.
Kay was one of the most shocking releases for the company earlier this year despite the fact that Samoa Joe and Mickie James were also on the list of releases.
#4. Former WWE United States Champion MVP
Montel Vontavious Porter returned to WWE at last year's Royal Rumble and has since become an integral part of programming.
MVP is the manager of current WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and in recent months has also been the man behind The Hurt Business. Whilst MVP has recently begun using a cane to walk to the ring and hasn't been an active part of the roster for several months, there was a time when MVP still wrestled on Monday Night RAW.
According to Cagematch.net, the former United States Champion had only three sanctioned WWE matches in 2021 and was unable to pick up a victory. Two of those matches came against Riddle back in January whilst Riddle was part of the United States Championship picture and MVP was unable to get past the former UFC star.
MVP suffered a legitimate leg injury earlier in the year, which has since taken him out of action and as of writing it is unclear if the 47-year-old will be an active member of the roster again.
#3. Current WWE Superstar Akira Tozawa
Akira Tozawa is the current 24/7 Champion in WWE after being able to pin R-Truth once again and lift the title for the tenth time.
Despite the fact that Tozawa has been part of a number of humorous segments on WWE TV throughout the past year, he hasn't been able to pick up a single victory.
According to Cagematch.net, Tozawa has wrestled 13 matches in the last six months and has been unable to pick up a win in 2021. The former Cruiserweight Champion has instead been focused on the 24/7 Championship, which could have been the catalyst to many of these losses.
Several of those losses have come during appearances on WWE's Main Event show since Tozawa has wrestled many of his matches there instead of on Monday Night RAW. The champion has lost matches to the likes of Ricochet, Angel Garza, Slapjack, and Drew Gulak in recent months.
He also won the 24/7 Championship almost a month ago and hasn't appeared on Monday Night RAW since.
#2. WWE NXT Superstar Aliyah
Aliyah was once seen as the youngest female wrestler in the WWE locker room. The NXT Superstar was signed to WWE back in 2015 when she was just 19 years old and has since been training at the company's Performance Center.
Aliyah made her on-screen debut back in 2016 and has since been part of the NXT Women's Division for the past five years. Many female wrestlers have stepped up to the main roster in this time, but so far 2021 hasn't been a good year for Aliyah.
Whilst being part of the Robert Stone Brand, Aliyah has been pushing against the Women's Tag Team Champions Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart.
According to Cagematch.net, the NXT star has wrestled in five matches so far this year and has been unable to pick up a victory in any of these outings.
Aliyah has already been part of WWE now for six years and will be looking for a shot at main roster promotion, hopefully, these statistics improve and promotion isn't far away from the 25-year-old.
#1. Former WWE Superstar Murphy
Buddy Murphy's eight-year tenure with WWE came to an end back in April when he was one of several superstars who became a victim of budget cuts.
Murphy came through the ranks in NXT where he is a former NXT Tag Team Champion before being moved over to 205 Live and winning the Cruiserweight Championship.
The Australian star was once WWE's "Best Kept Secret" and was able to become an integral part of the storyline between Seth Rollins and Rey Mysterio throughout 2020. After Rollins left the company on paternity leave at the end of the year, Murphy was seemingly surplus to requirements on the SmackDown brand.
According to CageMatch.net, Murphy only wrestled two matches in 2021 before his release in April and wasn't able to pick up a victory.
Both of these matches came against Cesaro back in March when Murphy was looking to impress The Messiah but was unable to follow through on his promise of a victory.
Murphy didn't make many appearances for WWE in 2021 as the creative team struggled to find a way to slot him into ongoing storylines ahead of his release.
