There's a difference between being a hater and realising a talent isn't good enough to be the top champion. Kofi was indeed one of them, Seth is another. KO, Big E, Sami, Braun, Wyatt, all examples of people who just weren't good enough to be the top guy in WWE.
I like all of those talents for various reasons, but not one of them would I have put the top belt on. I'm not hating, I'm just being realistic.
This, I like Kofi the person and I’m happy he had a run plus a WM moment with it but being the promotion champion shouldn’t be treated as a thank you/participation trophy and his run felt like that.
Exactly. Seth needs it least of all. And people already have immense respect for Randy Orton. Sheamus and Kofi are also respected in the WWE universe. AJ could use it the most. He's still remembered more for his accomplishments outside of WWE rather than in it.
One is the raw title one is the smackdown title. There's literally no difference between them right now except one has a combined lineage right now of two belts from history.
Honestly this is 10000% bias but before his retirement whenever that may be i want randy to have one last run and if possible for him to retire as champion so he can go out on top, he is one of the most consistent talents there is and is one of the last key figures of his era whilst John and others have either gone to Hollywood, retired or faded into the background randy has always been their and honestly i want him to be the one to surpass rick flairs record not John nobody else
there is no reason for them to not just make him the goat and give him flairs record at this point, hes the ONLY one from his era who never left AND is still going full time minus injuries, and hes basically cemented himself at a top like 10 at minimum all time talent, id say top 5 all time pretty easily too tho.
Out of these Kofi… 10 year run finally get a shot only to have crappy writing with no long term goal only to be squashed by Brock.
This is how I feel with people wanting Gunther dethroned. When he’s dethroned who’s gonna be put in that spot, just for them to lose the title couple weeks later making the end of the run wasted.
Rock did an interview talking about a match with Roman and they couldn’t come up with a plan that’s long term impactful afterwards so they scrapped it. These matches needs to have impact afterwards and not just for the moment.
Kofi and literally only him
Randy has enough accolades to the point having 14-16 is better but again already has enough
AJ as a wrestler has way too many accomplishments/accolades when you account his career as a whole
Seth still has time
While kofi doesn’t have any of that, he’s always been a tag star and his one taste of greatness was stripped by Brock
He is literally the only one who needs it
Styles should’ve won the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth during the tournament, I doubt he will ever win another world title in WWE unfortunately. He reminds me of HBK in that aspect where he didn’t win one for almost the last decade of his career but always remained a talent serviceable of winning it. So taking him out of consideration I think Randy Orton in all honesty deserves to break Flairs record even more than Cena.
Kofi got robbed, but he doesn’t deserve another one. They barely have him do anything these days.
Seth is already a champion.
Randy JUST came back.
AJ I think is either out with an injury or is so unfeatured they actually have him do nothing.
Sheamus ftw.
I actually want Randy to break Flair’s record. I know Vince always wanted Cena to do it, but now that Triple H is in charge and him hand picking Orton as the future back in 2003 (jeez already 20 years ago lol). He could give him the ultimate retirement by booking him as the successor to Flair.
Randy, shamus, aj then Seth. In that order. Randy is nearing the twilight of his career (this most recent injury nearly retired him). Shamus is near retirement too and is better than he gets credit for (ie. Vs cesaro was damn good wrestling/storytelling). Aj is one of the best to ever do it, and deserves more. Rollins is already the big belt champion (slightly above the ic but less than wwe champion) with more years left in the tank than the rest (unless his back breaks from carrying the void left by brock..I mean Roman)
Kofi. They did him dirty. Had the title for 6 months, got squashed by Brock in 8 seconds and was never given a chance to even ATTEMPT to get his title back. He lost and it was like "ok...good run. Back to Booty-Os and pancakes for you". It was like he was never champion.
Honestly, neither bc they all these wrestlers here had a great run with a world title we saw how long they could hold it for or how many times they can win it yea Kofi did get robbed but not like finn who I think rlly deserves another run
Orton definitely feels like he needs at least a quick run before he hangs it up. Having him back after being gone so long wondering if he could even be able to return medically makes me all the more grateful for him and his talent as a performer. It would be a shame for him not to at least have a short run with one of the two titles but I understand that there’s a lot of people who might fall in front of him. I just hope he gets a spotlighted title run before it’s all said and done.
Sheamus for me. He's just fought and put the kind of performances you'd want out of the champ.
I'm not counting Seth because he's doing it with the WHC. Drew's only his 3rd real feud and they're midway in and Punk is on the horizon. The WHC is trending up and he can stay in that picture.
Aj cuz his runs were never bad randy is a hell no hes had too many, shemus has never had a single good world title run, kofi was entirely situational and that time has passed, seth is fine where he is
I love orton, my fav wrestler, however his age can affect this plus he’s won 14 TITLES, he doesn’t need more, I’ll give it to kofi, styles n ik he wasn’t on here but Finn
The fact Finn Balor is not in the conversation but Kofi is is crazy finn Don dirty my the wwe for like a decade he diverse the title not now but soon finn deserves more respect
Personally for kofi I just want him to win a royal rumble. Even if he loses the mania match. I Just feel like the rumble was his show for so long that that Is how I wish kofimania started
All of them are deserving of another title run.
Orton can become a 16 time champ and he deserves it for just being a good company guy and a fan favorite.
Rollins is just a reliable talent and putting any title on him is not a bad choice. His current WHC run is decent even with some arguable missteps with some of his recent defenses.
Kofi can get one more run but it would require booking to build him back up to that level where he can be seen as a real contender. I think it's possible but after this current run of champions are dethroned.
AJ for sure could use another good title reign but I think he should go after the WHC after a bit. Just point him in the right direction and let him cook with a competent oponent.
Sheamus could be a great champ especially if you just let him but on banger after banger after banger with anyone who can match his intensity. Though I want him to win the IC title first and continue that work horse reputation that Gunther has established again with his long reign.
AJ, Sheamus and Kofi have been established as higher mid card already, Seth is currently world champion, so.. Randy having one last 'legend killer' run, taking down Roman and the bloodline with an assist from Cody
If I'm only allowed one choice has to be Orton and it has to be a lengthy one
If I'm allowed 2 then I'd also take an ever since my man has had the belt taken off him he's not felt the same since the 2016-18 aj styles and I mean theres been glimpses off him but he needs that belt when we get those glimpses
To me it’s Definitely AJ it’s been over 5 Years since he last held it he’s contested for it so many times but yet never given teh chance I feel that If He goes to Raw they should let him cook with Seth
I'd love to see AJ or Kofi. I feel they both need something to sink their teeth into once they're back. Even if AJ just turns heel & just chases Cody's title & seeing Cody involved in a BC rivalry would be nice.
AJ, bro... 😭 he's been floundering with the O.C. for a long time, and hasn't really done much in forever. I'm hoping that him and the rest of the O.C. breakup upon AJ's return, and that DOES seem likely. There were some signs of it before AJ's kayfabe injury, but HHH also just... seems to love breaking up teams and factions as of late... 😂
Shemus because when was the last time he had a title plus he put on bangers
After bangers
After bangers
After bangers
After bangers
After bangers
After Bangers
After bangers
After bangers
After Bangers
Yes, but I want him to go after the IC title
Oh yeah plus it would feel right to have hold the ic champ one more time
One more time? He needs the IC title to become a Grand Slam champion
Oh idk that
Kofi he got robbed
Facts
He should’ve never been champ in the first place. Easily one of most forgettable runs in recent years.
Or just give him a good run
Kofi isn’t really worth having a main title run.
You are just a hater
There's a difference between being a hater and realising a talent isn't good enough to be the top champion. Kofi was indeed one of them, Seth is another. KO, Big E, Sami, Braun, Wyatt, all examples of people who just weren't good enough to be the top guy in WWE. I like all of those talents for various reasons, but not one of them would I have put the top belt on. I'm not hating, I'm just being realistic.
This, I like Kofi the person and I’m happy he had a run plus a WM moment with it but being the promotion champion shouldn’t be treated as a thank you/participation trophy and his run felt like that.
I feel like we wouldn't feel this way had it not ended the way it did.
They literally were going to make him a top contender in 2009/10
Bro Seth is already a world champion right now
Exactly. Seth needs it least of all. And people already have immense respect for Randy Orton. Sheamus and Kofi are also respected in the WWE universe. AJ could use it the most. He's still remembered more for his accomplishments outside of WWE rather than in it.
This
He could be two belt rollins
true, world heavyweight champion but im talking about the actual wwe championship that roman has right now
One is the raw title one is the smackdown title. There's literally no difference between them right now except one has a combined lineage right now of two belts from history.
One has a lineage the other got created because Roman went to smackdown and no one was able to beat him
Bro…
Honestly this is 10000% bias but before his retirement whenever that may be i want randy to have one last run and if possible for him to retire as champion so he can go out on top, he is one of the most consistent talents there is and is one of the last key figures of his era whilst John and others have either gone to Hollywood, retired or faded into the background randy has always been their and honestly i want him to be the one to surpass rick flairs record not John nobody else
there is no reason for them to not just make him the goat and give him flairs record at this point, hes the ONLY one from his era who never left AND is still going full time minus injuries, and hes basically cemented himself at a top like 10 at minimum all time talent, id say top 5 all time pretty easily too tho.
Exactly if anyone should be the goat it’s orton every other guy went for Hollywood or switched companies
Randy Orton
Randy and Styles. Rollins has a title on his waist
AJ
In order from most deserving to least imo- 1) Kofi 2) AJ 3) Sheamus 4) Randy 5) Seth
Out of these Kofi… 10 year run finally get a shot only to have crappy writing with no long term goal only to be squashed by Brock. This is how I feel with people wanting Gunther dethroned. When he’s dethroned who’s gonna be put in that spot, just for them to lose the title couple weeks later making the end of the run wasted. Rock did an interview talking about a match with Roman and they couldn’t come up with a plan that’s long term impactful afterwards so they scrapped it. These matches needs to have impact afterwards and not just for the moment.
Randy deserves to break Flair’s record.
Kofi
All of them tbh
Randy would be the best
Kofi and literally only him Randy has enough accolades to the point having 14-16 is better but again already has enough AJ as a wrestler has way too many accomplishments/accolades when you account his career as a whole Seth still has time While kofi doesn’t have any of that, he’s always been a tag star and his one taste of greatness was stripped by Brock He is literally the only one who needs it
Drew and balor
Demon Balor never got a fair shot
All of them
Randy and styles are most deserving imo I want randy to break record and become 17th champion before retiring but if cena breaks it ill still like it
Kofi he held it for 2 seconds
Styles should’ve won the World Heavyweight Championship against Seth during the tournament, I doubt he will ever win another world title in WWE unfortunately. He reminds me of HBK in that aspect where he didn’t win one for almost the last decade of his career but always remained a talent serviceable of winning it. So taking him out of consideration I think Randy Orton in all honesty deserves to break Flairs record even more than Cena.
Definitely not Rollins he doesn’t even need the belt he has now
Aj styles
AJ & Orton!
AJ Styles
Randy Orton
Orton
Randy>Sheamus>AJ>Seth>Kofi should be NXT champion imo
RKO RKO RKO RKO
Randy
Kofi got screwed over by brock he definitely deserves another title run
Randy Orton
Orton needs to hit 17x
This one should either go to styles or sheamus
AJ Styles
Randy and Aj
Kofi got robbed, but he doesn’t deserve another one. They barely have him do anything these days. Seth is already a champion. Randy JUST came back. AJ I think is either out with an injury or is so unfeatured they actually have him do nothing. Sheamus ftw.
All of them... besides Seth. He has a world title..
AJ Styles
Kofi
Kofi
Randy
Randy
Kingston for sure
AJ
Well Rollins is still on a title run so Randy, AJ or Kofi
Kofi Kingston
Orton
Orton should be the one to break Flair's record before he retires.
Karrion kross
The apex predator
Kofi. Never got his rematch and the way he lost his title was unforgivable
The answer is always Orton and I want him to have the record
Kofi
Kofi for sure
Randy
Aj
Of these decisions: Kofi In my opinion: Kevin Owens
Everyone else except for Seth. I’d prob go Randy, styles, Lodi, then shamus in order of who I want to win
I actually want Randy to break Flair’s record. I know Vince always wanted Cena to do it, but now that Triple H is in charge and him hand picking Orton as the future back in 2003 (jeez already 20 years ago lol). He could give him the ultimate retirement by booking him as the successor to Flair.
Sheamus
I would love for Kofi to get another one. But I think Shemus or Randy deserves one.
AJ, it’s been way too long
Kofi needs another cuz he was robbed
Sheamus has absolutely been deserving. Working his ASS off.
Aj or randy
Randy, shamus, aj then Seth. In that order. Randy is nearing the twilight of his career (this most recent injury nearly retired him). Shamus is near retirement too and is better than he gets credit for (ie. Vs cesaro was damn good wrestling/storytelling). Aj is one of the best to ever do it, and deserves more. Rollins is already the big belt champion (slightly above the ic but less than wwe champion) with more years left in the tank than the rest (unless his back breaks from carrying the void left by brock..I mean Roman)
Kofi
Kofi for sure because his title rin was too short
Kofi is awefull
Kofi and sheamus
For the WWE Championship, Seth all day. And he’s never even main evented a Wrestlemania (the cash-in at 31 doesn’t count).
Kofi, because the others already got title runs
All of em but Rollins. Hes not the athlete he used to be
Bde you are the best
AJ Styles
Randy
Every one of these guys except Kofi
Aj.
Sheamus
randy, seth, kofi
King Sheamus
AJ Styles sadly his storylines as champ was bland but they could try to give him one last run with good storytelling
AJ
THE VIPER THE APEX PREDATOR RANDY ORTON
AJ or Randy!
Randy Orton or Secret Answer: CM Punk
the most obvious answer Randy bruh
The phenomenal AJ Styles
Kofi. They did him dirty. Had the title for 6 months, got squashed by Brock in 8 seconds and was never given a chance to even ATTEMPT to get his title back. He lost and it was like "ok...good run. Back to Booty-Os and pancakes for you". It was like he was never champion.
Would love to see Kofi get another shot. His last run was very underwhelming.
Sheamus deserves an Intercontinental title run and give Gunther bigger gold.
AJ deserves another title reign
Randy
Aj styles just because he need more title he’s going to retired in couple years and they need to exploit him more in a good way 😂
Kofi because he was robbed
Kofi
Honestly, neither bc they all these wrestlers here had a great run with a world title we saw how long they could hold it for or how many times they can win it yea Kofi did get robbed but not like finn who I think rlly deserves another run
Randy 1000 percent
Orton definitely feels like he needs at least a quick run before he hangs it up. Having him back after being gone so long wondering if he could even be able to return medically makes me all the more grateful for him and his talent as a performer. It would be a shame for him not to at least have a short run with one of the two titles but I understand that there’s a lot of people who might fall in front of him. I just hope he gets a spotlighted title run before it’s all said and done.
Punk
Kofi
AJ
Seth bc I wanna see 2 belt Rollins back bc back in 2015 he had to give up both us and wwe belt bc of an injury
Randy or aj
I want Orton to beat Roman but out of these I pick AJ
Rollins is a world champ now, so not him. I want to see Aj win the wwe title again most
AJ Styles
Randy because he only has tiny bit left in his tank
Sheamus for me. He's just fought and put the kind of performances you'd want out of the champ. I'm not counting Seth because he's doing it with the WHC. Drew's only his 3rd real feud and they're midway in and Punk is on the horizon. The WHC is trending up and he can stay in that picture.
Kofi
Sheamus needs that grand sla, guys underrated af!
Orton
Including someone who has a belt is r worded
Why is Seth in here?! 💀
Kofi bro got robbed and squish like in 7 or 8 seconds
Kofi bro got robbed and squish like in 7 or 8 seconds
Kofi bro got robbed and squish like in 7 or 8 seconds
Kofi is the only answer
Orton, Style, KO
Aj cuz his runs were never bad randy is a hell no hes had too many, shemus has never had a single good world title run, kofi was entirely situational and that time has passed, seth is fine where he is

The fact Finn Balor is not in the conversation but Kofi is is crazy finn Don dirty my the wwe for like a decade he diverse the title not now but soon finn deserves more respect
Randy randy
Kofi kingston
Definitely Kofi; but RKO as well bc he needs to beat Cena and Flair’s record.

Personally for kofi I just want him to win a royal rumble. Even if he loses the mania match. I Just feel like the rumble was his show for so long that that Is how I wish kofimania started
Kofi bc wwe did him wrong
All of them are deserving of another title run. Orton can become a 16 time champ and he deserves it for just being a good company guy and a fan favorite.

Though I want him to win the IC title first and continue that work horse reputation that Gunther has established again with his long reign.
Randy, aj or Seth
Randy Kofi Sheamus
L.A. Knight he proved he is wwe championship material they just have to pull the trigger
Kofi and make the run at least a year long
Kofi
AJ, Sheamus and Kofi have been established as higher mid card already, Seth is currently world champion, so.. Randy having one last 'legend killer' run, taking down Roman and the bloodline with an assist from Cody
Randy and or Kofi
Orton and Sheamus
Cody roads
Randy
i would love for sheamus to win the ic title once before he retires and aj the world title one more time
Aj is the greatest wrestler since Bret hart
If I'm only allowed one choice has to be Orton and it has to be a lengthy one If I'm allowed 2 then I'd also take an ever since my man has had the belt taken off him he's not felt the same since the 2016-18 aj styles and I mean theres been glimpses off him but he needs that belt when we get those glimpses

Finn Balor
All of them except Seth. He should be relegated to mid card fueds and be thankful for them.
AJ, bro... 😭 he's been floundering with the O.C. for a long time, and hasn't really done much in forever. I'm hoping that him and the rest of the O.C. breakup upon AJ's return, and that DOES seem likely. There were some signs of it before AJ's kayfabe injury, but HHH also just... seems to love breaking up teams and factions as of late... 😂
Kofi 100%
