In the world of punk rock rebellion, CM Punk carved his niche in WWE, capturing the WWE Championship and the Intercontinental Championship. However, the United States Championship remained an unattained milestone for the Straight Edge Superstar. Punk’s controversial departure from WWE in 2014 and subsequent release by AEW in 2023. CM Punk made his surprise WWE return at Survivor Series 2023.

9. Kane:

Much like his brother The Undertaker, Kane’s on-screen persona was dominant enough to bypass the United States Championship. Despite a storied career that includes WWE and World Championship victories, the US title wasn’t part of Kane’s impressive collection. His induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021 marked a fitting tribute to his legacy.

8. Drew McIntyre:

Drew McIntyre, a two-time WWE Champion, finds himself on this exclusive list of superstars who never secured the US title. While he boasts an Intercontinental Championship reign, the United States Championship has remained beyond his grasp since 2021.

7. Batista:

Batista’s ascent was propelled by his association with Evolution, leading to WWE and World Heavyweight Championship victories. Remarkably, the United States Championship eluded The Animal. His last WWE match in 2019 marked the end of an era.

6. The Great Khali:

The towering Great Khali, a former WWE World Champion, achieved the pinnacle of success without capturing the United States Championship. Despite his imposing stature, this particular mid-card accolade remained unclaimed by the Punjabi Playboy.

5. The Undertaker:

The Undertaker’s aura was so formidable that he didn’t require mid-card championships to solidify his standing. While he clinched the WWE Championship, the United States Championship remained beyond the reach of The Deadman. His retirement in 2020 marked the end of a legendary in-ring career.

4. Triple H:

Triple H’s ascent to WWE superstardom was gradual, earning his way to the main event. Surprisingly, the United States Championship was never part of The Game’s accolades on his journey to the top. Having retired from in-ring action in 2022, Triple H leaves a legacy that doesn’t include this particular mid-card title.

3. The Rock:

The Rock WWE — **The Rock has never won the United States Championship**

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s meteoric rise catapulted him to main event status within years of his debut. His charismatic presence and unparalleled mic skills carried him to world championships, yet the United States Championship was never part of The Rock’s illustrious collection. Since 2004, he’s transitioned into a flourishing Hollywood career.

2. Cody Rhodes:

A surprising absence from Cody Rhodes‘ impressive resume is the United States Championship. While he secured the Intercontinental Championship during his initial WWE stint, the US title eluded him. Now, as a pivotal figure in the wrestling world, Cody aims for the ultimate glory, a World Championship.

1. Brock Lesnar:

Brock Lesnar WWE — **Lesnar has also never won the WWE United States Championship**

Brock Lesnar, a force of nature in the WWE, has left an indelible mark as a multiple-time world champion. However, the mid-card landscape, specifically the United States Championship, never witnessed Lesnar’s dominance. His direct ascent to the pinnacle of the sport, conquering The Rock for the undisputed championship at SummerSlam 2002, skipped the US title chapter.

Conclusion

In the annals of WWE history, these ten superstars stand as anomaly legends who navigated their careers without the United States Championship.
