3 current WWE superstars who came very close to winning a World title but couldn't make it

A 15 time World ChampionYou name a WWE superstar and I assure you that winning a World title will be his ultimate goal. The only thing that gives a superstar special recognition in the company is a World title victory. There are many guys in the business who have the potential to reach the top but failed to make it big. As part of this slideshow, let us have a look at 3 guys who came so close to a World title victory but somehow couldn't make it till today-  

#3 Wade Barrett

The erstwhile Nexus leader

Wade Barrett is one of the most talked figures in the company in 2010. He was the leader of 'Nexus' and was always at loggerheads with both John Cena and Randy Orton. WWE tried to project Barrett as the face of the industry but somehow changed their plans. He got a couple of good chances(Bragging Rights 2010 and Survivor Series 2010) to win the World title from Orton but he couldn't capitalize on both occasions. In 2012, when Sheamus was the World Champion, WWE gave a few chances to Barrett against Sheamus in non-title matches. Barrett couldn't prove his mettle when it was most needed and that's the reason why he is still short of a World title victory.
