5 WWE Superstars who refused to put over an opponent

#4 Rey Mysterio

In 2009, the Intercontinental Championship was as relevant as it had been in a long time after a back-and-forth feud between Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho over the title between April and July.

At the end of the rivalry, Mysterio was apparently promised a long run as the champion. However, he was then informed that his next challenger, an up-and-coming Dolph Ziggler, would defeat him for the title – something the former WCW star disagreed with.

In the end, after defeating Ziggler at Night of Champions and SummerSlam, Mysterio violated WWE’s Wellness Policy and he was forced to lose the title to John Morrison at a SmackDown taping in September.
