Would you like to hear something surprising? As I write this (February 19, 2020 - I’ve got a backlog so that’s why the publish date is much later), Titus O’Neil has won 17 of his last 19 matches in the WWE, and one of those losses was a Battle Royal. The only problem was his only Raw match during that time was a loss to Bobby Lashley. But this man is killing it on Main Event and the House Show circuit. He hasn’t lost a singles match at a house show since May. He’s red hot fire. Now the names are slightly less than inspiring, but over that time, he has beaten the likes of Drew Gulak, Tony Nese, EC3, Mojo Rawley, Shelton Benjamin, Eric Young, Robert Roode, and Cesaro. Wait, that last name should not belong there, but yes, it did happen.
So is it time to put Titus on TV and let him dominate everyone in sight? No, he’s 42 and has never been all that great in the ring. He shows an uncomfortable amount of skin, but if I was built like that at any point in my life, I would probably stop wearing clothes altogether. But I just don’t see much in-ring potential for the guy. He’s a fantastic ambassador, living in the Tampa region, he is beloved throughout the entire area and donates a ton of time to local charities which makes him a fantastic person for WWE to keep employed, but it doesn’t make him a great candidate for a title run.
So I kind of like that he’s just dominating on the house show loop, out of sight and out of mind for most wrestling fans, but those in attendance get to see the nice guy finish first. I know it’s not headlining WrestleMania, but these roles need to be filled by somebody, and it’d be tough to find a better person than Titus O’Neil to do it.
