Which Superstars Are Close To Becoming Grand Slam Champions?

At SummerSlam, Dean Ambrose became the latest Grand Slam champion when he and Seth Rollins captured the RAW Tag Team Championships from Cesaro and Sheamus.

WWE.com defines a Grand Slam champion as, “Superstars who have managed to meet the current set of criteria: Intercontinental Champion, United States Champion, either the Raw (formerly WWE) or SmackDown Tag Team Championship and either active heavyweight title — as in, WWE Championship or, now, the Universal Championship.”

Aside from Ambrose, the other WWE Superstars/legends meeting the criteria include Edge, Big Show, The Miz, Eddie Guerrero, Daniel Bryan, Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho.

Reddit user @Ron234 compiled a list of the 11 Superstars that are just one championship away from joining the elusive Grand Slam club.

These are 11 superstars that are 1 Championship away from completing Grand Slam.

• Kofi Kingston, Shelton Benjamin and Zack Ryder need to capture the WWE Championship or Universal Championship to qualify
• John Cena, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Sheamus need to capture the Intercontinental championship to qualify
• Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton and Kane need to capture the United States championship to qualify
• Kevin Owens needs to capture either the RAW or SmackDown tag championships to qualify

It’s worth noting that Dolph Ziggler is a former IC and US Champion, but also held the World Heavyweight Championship and the World Tag-Team Championships, which have been retired and do not count towards the updated requirements.
