5 WWE Superstars who surprisingly have more losses than wins at SummerSlam

Although they are all former world champions, these five WWE Superstars surprisingly have more losses than wins at SummerSlam.

We are now less than a month away from The Biggest Party of the Summer, and the event's card is beginning to shape up. Things have become even more interesting with the return of legends like John Cena and Goldberg.

Heading into SummerSlam, superstars like Edge and Charlotte Flair have impressive winning records at WWE's second-biggest event of the year. The Rated R Superstar has eleven victories and a single defeat, while The Queen has never lost, scoring four consecutive victories.

However, five other top WWE wrestlers were not as successful in their previous encounters at SummerSlam. Four of them have scored some wins but suffered more losses. The fifth is a former WWE Champion but has never tasted victory at the pay-per-view.

Here are five WWE Superstars who surprisingly have more losses than wins at SummerSlam


#5. WWE United States Champion Sheamus

Sheamus has been in WWE for over a decade. During that time, he has competed five times at SummerSlam.

In 2010, The Celtic Warrior lost the WWE Championship to Randy Orton in his first-ever match at SummerSlam. He suffered another defeat the following year to Mark Henry.

In 2012, Sheamus scored his first victory at The Biggest Party of the Summer, when he defeated Alberto Del Rio to retain his World Heavyweight Championship.

After three years of absence, Sheamus returned to compete at SummerSlam 2015, scoring another victory against Randy Orton. The Irish superstar last competed at the pay-per-view in 2017, when he teamed up with Cesaro to defend their WWE Raw Tag Team Championship against Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins but came up short.

Sheamus has two wins and three losses at SummerSlam. He scored another victory over Cesaro in 2016, but the match came on the pre-show, which made it uncountable in the official records.

The Celtic Warrior is currently the United States Champion. He has held the title since WrestleMania 37. Sheamus now seems to be heading into a feud with Damian Priest, who recently defeated him on Monday Night RAW.

The Celtic Warrior might have to defend his US title against Priest at the upcoming pay-per-view, SummerSlam.

#4. WWE Superstar Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy has accomplished almost everything in WWE, but he has never won a match at SummerSlam.

Hardy competed six times at the Biggest Party of the Summer. His first match came in 1999 when he and his brother, Matt, lost a tag team turmoil to Edge and Christian. The Hardy Boyz lost again in the following year when they competed in a TLC triple-threat match for the Tag Team Titles.

In 2001, Jeff Hardy went into SummerSlam as the Hardcore Champion. However, he lost the title to his challenger Rob Van Dam in a ladder match. Seven years later, The Charismatic Enigma had his fourth match at SummerSlam but again suffered defeat against MVP.

The 2001 scenario came back to haunt Hardy when he defended his World Heavyweight Championship against CM Punk at SummerSlam in 2009. The 43-year-old walked in with the title and left without it.

The last time Hardy competed at SummerSlam was four years ago. He challenged Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship but came up short.

Like Sheamus, the former WWE Champion competed once on the SummerSlam pre-show in 2017. He teamed up with Matt and Jason Jordan against The Miz and The Miztourage in a losing effort.

#3. WWE Superstar Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks is one of the top WWE Superstars on the roster today. She is a Triple Crown and Grand Slam champion, having won all the women's titles available. However, the 29-year-old superstar does not have a good winning record at SummerSlam.

The former SmackDown Women's Champion has competed four times at SummerSlam, scoring a single victory.

In her first SummerSlam match, Banks joined forces with Tamina and Naomi (Team B.A.D.) to take on Paige, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch (Team PCB), and The Bella Twins & Alicia Fox (Team Bella) in a three-team elimination match. Team PCB came out victorious.

A year later, Banks defended her WWE Raw Women's Title against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam in 2016. The Boss suffered her second consecutive defeat and lost her title to The Queen.

In 2017, Banks finally scored a victory at The Biggest Party of the Summer when she defeated Alexa Bliss to capture the Raw Women's Championship. The Boss did not compete at SummerSlam for the next two years.

When she defended the RAW Women's Title against Asuka at last year's pay-per-view, the 29-year-old missed out on the opportunity to even out her SummerSlam winning record as she lost to The Empress of Tomorrow.

Banks has not competed in a WWE ring since she lost the SmackDown Women's Title to Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 37. However, the former Women's Champion was recently listed as one of the featured stars of this year's SummerSlam on WWE's official website, meaning she could potentially return at the pay-per-view.

#2. WWE Legend Rey Mysterio

Rey Mysterio, the Master of the 619, is now part of a tag team alongside his son Dominik. They held the SmackDown Tag Team Titles for nearly two months before losing them to The Usos at the Money in the Bank pre-show.

Rey Mysterio has four previous victories at the second-biggest event of the year. He defeated Eddie Guerrero, Chavo Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler in singles action. He also teamed up with John Morrison & Kofi Kingston to defeat Alberto Del Rio, R-Truth, and The Miz in a six-person tag team match.

Despite this, the Ultimate Underdog has more losses than wins at SummerSlam. His first defeat came in 2002 against Kurt Angle. Two years later, he lost a six-person tag team match alongside Billy Kidman and Paul London against The Dudleyz. His third loss came against Chavo Guerrero in 2006.

At SummerSlam 2010, Mysterio challenged World Heavyweight Champion Kane for the title but came up short. He also came up short when he challenged The Miz for the Intercontinental Title in 2012.

Rey Mysterio has not competed at WWE SummerSlam since his defeat against The Miz. Will he finally return to The Biggest Party of the Summer this year?

#1. WWE Legend John Cena

John Cena is arguably the greatest WWE Superstar of all time. There are only very few things the 16-time world champion has not accomplished in WWE. One of them is having a better winning record at SummerSlam.

Cena has competed 14 times at the Biggest Party of the Summer, winning only five matches. He defeated Booker T, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, and Baron Corbin in singles action. His fifth SummerSlam victory came in a 14-person tag team match in 2010.

Cena's nine defeats started against Edge at the 2006 SummerSlam. Two years later, he lost to Batista, followed by a loss to Randy Orton in 2009.

In 2011, Cena suffered his fourth SummerSlam defeat against CM Punk. Punk was also the winner when he faced Cena and The Big Show in a triple-threat match at SummerSlam in 2012.

The 16-time world champion continued his SummerSlam losing streak against Daniel Bryan in 2013. It was no different a year later as Brock Lesnar pinned him for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

At SummerSlam 2015, Cena, the then-US Champion, faced Seth Rollins, the then-WWE World Heavyweight Champion, in a Champion Vs. Champion match. The Leader of the Cenation went into the pay-per-view looking for his first win in five years. Instead, he walked out with his fifth consecutive defeat and without his US Title.

Despite suffering another loss at the 2016 SummerSlam against AJ Styles, Cena finally broke his losing streak the following year when he defeated Baron Corbin. Since then, the 44-year-old has not competed at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

Cena recently returned to WWE after a long absence. He challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at SummerSlam but was turned down by The Tribal Chief.
