Roman Reigns already has the distinction of being in an elite club to main event 4 WrestleManias in a row. Not even The Rock, John Cena or Stone Cold Steve Austin, for that matter, hold the achievement. Only Hulk Hogan holds a record higher than that.
However, with that being said, few have doubted that Roman Reigns is a superstar that's undeserving to main event WrestleMania. Yes, there have been superstars far more deserving of his spot on multiple occasions (Dean Ambrose in 2016, Braun Strowman in 2018). But despite this, Roman Reigns has been built up as a high-calibre superstar worthy of main eventing the Grandest Stage of them all.
Like it or not, he will main event a lot more, but not every superstar belongs to the elite club of WrestleMania main event-worthy talent. Over the years, we've seen many superstars undeserving of the spot too,
We look at five current WWE superstars who don't deserve to main-event on the grandest stage of them all.
#5 Jeff Hardy
This is perhaps the most unfortunate one on this list. Jeff Hardy, in his prime, was without a doubt a WrestleMania main event calibre superstar. Naturally, every superstar who walks into the business dreams of main eventing at The Grandest Stage Of Them All.
Unfortunately for Hardy, a lot of things have changed since his prime and he's no longer the same superstar he once was. While he's deservedly still a respected legend in the business, he's far past his prime and shouldn't be main eventing WrestleMania, as it would take a spot from a younger, more deserving superstar. (Though the same can be said about Roman Reigns' WrestleMania main event opponents, who have all been part-timers).
#4 Baron Corbin
Baron Corbin has had an entertaining run as RAW's Constable and Acting General Manager, but he's just one of those superstars who can't seem to get the big one.
Admittedly, WWE has pulled the rug from underneath him multiple times, particularly when he was Mr Money In The Bank. However, Corbin has yet to prove himself to be a WrestleMania main event-level star. He has a long way to go, but he just doesn't seem to have it in him.
#3 Jinder Mahal
Jinder Mahal got pushed heavily in 2017. It was such a quick push that he literally went from jobber to main-eventer in one week. While he did receive a lot of heat for his anti-American gimmick, it was admittedly outdated and fans just couldn't get behind the thought of Jinder as WWE Champion.
He got drafted back to RAW in 2018 and his role has been much tamer since. It should stay that way and a mid-carder like Jinder shouldn't be main eventing WrestleMania, even if he improves leaps and bounds as a performer.
#2 Sheamus
Sheamus is another superstar who is seemingly past his prime. To his credit, he accomplished far more than what anyone would have expected him to in WWE.
He's been put in a tag team for a reason. It's helped protect him as he's rumoured to have had a spinal stenosis injury. Regardless, he's likely to stick to the tag team division for the remainder of his run and won't be main eventing WrestleMania. That's okay, because when it's all said and done, Sheamus has had a Hall Of Fame worthy career.
#1 Randy Orton
You're probably wondering why someone who has already main-evented WrestleMania multiple times is in this list. However, the fact of the matter is, he shouldn't have main-evented WrestleMania in the years that he did and he most definitely shouldn't headline WrestleMania now.
He remains a featured star on SmackDown Live but despite his heel persona coming to fruition, he should not be headlining the Grandest Stage Of Them All.
