Top 10 Superstars who have never headlined WrestleMania
The main event to close the show at WrestleMania is the apex goal of just about every Superstar that comes to compete in WWE’s squared circle. Many all-time greats have etched their mark in history through their performances as the headline act.
Fans have also seen some not so greats being awarded the honour and fumbling with it, to embarrassing results. The top 10 on this list were those not even given the chance and were left kicking rocks as the biggest aspiration in their careers passed them by.
The ranking is from ‘unfortunate missed opportunity’ all the way to ‘colossal mistake’.
#10 Rey Mysterio
The diminutive high-flyer has a mixed track record with the WWE’s biggest show (largely owing to several injuries that stopped him from competing), but he may well have been worth the gamble as the headline act at least once.
A huge hit with the kids in particular, not to mention a merchandise juggernaut, it would not have been out of question for the WWE to have booked Rey Mysterio into a closing WrestleMania bout where he could have put on a uniquely high-paced matchup.
