#5 The Undertaker - 5 losses

The Undertaker lost to Bret Hart at SummerSlam 1997 after special guest referee Shawn Michaels hit him with a chair

The Undertaker has had several memorable SummerSlam moments and has been a constant figure since making his first SummerSlam appearance at the 1991 edition of the PPV, where he hit Randy Savage with an urn.

The Undertaker has taken part in the most SummerSlam matches in history, featuring in 16 matches at the event. He has 10 wins and five losses at the show, and put on many great matches, including the 2008 event where he faced and won against The Edge.

A memorable match of The Undertaker at SummerSlam was against Bret Hart in 1997, where The Deadman was the WWF World Heavyweight Championship going into the show. The match had Shawn Michaels - who was Bret Hart's major rival - as the guest referee of the match. Michaels, inadvertently, hit The Undertaker with a chair which resulted in Bret Hart becoming the WWF World Heavyweight Champion in 1997.

#4 Triple H - 5 losses

Triple H, with 13 matches at SummerSlam, is joint third in the list of wrestlers with most SummerSlam appearances but is also fourth in the current WWE Superstars with most losses at SummerSlam.

In the 13 matches that The Game has wrestled in WWE, he has lost five and won 8 matches, which includes an Intercontinental Championship victory against The Rock at SummerSlam 1998.

One of Triple H's most memorable matches was against his tag-team partner, and fellow DX member Shawn Michaels, at SummerSlam 2002, where the two battled it out in a no-holds-barred unsanctioned street fight which Michaels won.

#3 Jeff Hardy - 5 losses

Jeff Hardy and CM Punk faced off at SummerSlam 2009

Jeff Hardy's record at SummerSlam does not read well; five appearances, five losses. Jeff, along with brother Matt, and the teams of Edge and Christian, and The Dudley Boyz, redefined tag team wrestling, and one of the biggest moments in each of the above-mentioned wrestlers' career was at SummerSlam 2000 in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the WWF Tag Team Championship, which was won by Edge and Christian.

Another memorable match that Jeff was a part of, but on the losing side, was against CM Punk at SummerSlam 2009, in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the World Heavyweight Championship, which was the main event of the show. The show will also be remembered for The Undertaker's appearance at the end of the match, and choke-slamming Punk.

#2 Randy Orton - 6 losses

One of Randy Orton's six losses at SummerSlam was against Hulk Hogan

Randy Orton, like Triple H, is joint third in the list of wrestlers with most SummerSlam appearances at 13 matches but has one win less than The Game at 7 wins.

At SummerSlam 2004, Orton created history by becoming the youngest WWE Champion at age 24, when he defeated Chris Benoit for the title, and won the title once again at SummerSlam in the 2010 edition when he defeated Sheamus.

Orton has had some crushing defeats at SummerSlam too, including one to Hulk Hogan, dubbed "Legend vs. Legend Killer" match at SummerSlam 2006, and lost the following year to John Cena. Speaking of John Cena...

#1 John Cena - 9 losses

Seth Rollins defeated John Cena at SummerSlam and took home two titles

John Cena, surprisingly, has the dubious record of having the most losses at SummerSlam with nine losses and is the current WWE Superstar with most losses at the PPV.

In his 14 matches at the PPV (which is the second most appearances by a WWE Superstar after The Undertaker), he has won just five matches and lost nine.

One of Cena's most memorable matches was at the 2015 edition of the show, where he faced Seth Rollins in a 'Winner Takes All' match, where the WWE World Heavyweight and WWE United States Championships were on the line. Cena lost the match and Rollins went home with both titles.

The following year, he lost once again, this time to AJ Styles.
