5 Royal Rumble winners who never headlined WrestleMania

#4 Rey Mysterio

Enter captionRey Mysterio never headlined a Wrestlemania.

In the 2006 Royal Rumble match, Rey Mysterio proved all of his critics wrong by showcasing his best performance in a Royal Rumble match. After drawing the dangerous number 2 position, the Luchador lasted more than an hour in the ring to outlast 29 other of his opponents.

After eliminating Randy Orton, Rey emerged as the winner of the 2006 edition of the Royal Rumble and paid homage to the late Eddie Guerrero.

After losing to Randy Orton at No Way Out 2006, Rey's WrestleMania match was converted to a triple threat match also involving the World Heavyweight champion Kurt Angle.

Even though the master of 619 was in a marquee match in that event, it did not headline WrestleMania 2006. The WWE Championship match between John Cena and Triple H got that honour. Rey could never come close to the top of the WrestleMania card.
