Randy Orton has been one of the best villains in WWE history and as of late, he has been putting over a handful of other Superstars at WrestleMania. He lost the United States Championship at WrestleMania 34 in a fatal four-way match against Jinder Mahal, Bobby Roode and Rusev, while last year, he fell short to 'The Phenomenal' AJ Styles in a singles bout.

This year, Orton is likely to lose his Last Man Standing match against a returning Edge in what will probably be the 10th loss of his WrestleMania career. Speaking of his previous defeats at the Showcase of the Immortals, the Viper also lost his WWE World Heavyweight Championship to Daniel Bryan in the main event of WrestleMania XXX in a triple threat match that also featured Batista.

He tried to end The Undertaker’s winning streak at WrestleMania 21 but failed to do so, and a few years later, The Phenom’s kayfabe brother Kane was able to The Apex Predator at the Sun Life Stadium in 2012. One of his defeats even came against Triple H in the main event of WrestleMania 25.

Despite having a physical advantage over the majority of his opponents inside the squared circle, Big Show has only won four matches at the show of shows while losing 10 of his bouts. Vince McMahon has used him as a special attraction at the pay-per-view, where he has taken part in several memorable segments and matches.

Big Show featured in the main event of WrestleMania 2000 where he, along with Mick Foley and The Rock, challenged Triple H in a fatal-four-way WWE Championship match. Unfortunately, he could not win that match, and the next year, he suffered defeat in a triple threat match for the Hardcore Championship.

The World’s Largest Athlete teamed up with A-Train to try and break The Undertaker’s streak, however, The Deadman overpowered both giants in a handicap match. John Cena also taeb him in a United States Championship battle while Akebono handed him a defeat in a Sumo contest.

His first victory came in a Tag Team Championship match, where he teamed up with Kane to defend the titles against Chris Masters and Carlito.

The former WWE Champion took part in 17 WrestleMania matches and of them, he could win only six. He suffered two successive losses to The Undertaker in 2009 and 2010, which ultimately ended his career.

He put on several WrestleMania classics during his career with his matches against Razor Ramon, Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle being some of the best in WrestleMania history. Michaels also fought for the WWF Championship against Diesel at WrestleMania XI, albeit in a losing effort.

In another WrestleMania main event, Stone Cold Steve Austin beat Michaels to win the WWF title. Mike Tyson was the special enforcer for that match. He lost another WrestleMania main event in 2004 when Chris Benoit defeated him and Triple H in a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship at Madison Square Garden.

'The King of Kings' Triple H, surprisingly holds the top position on this list with 13 defeats to his name at the Showcase of the Immortals. His 13 losses include three against The Undertaker while two of them have come against former Shield members, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.

Four years before the mixed tag team bout, the Cerebral Assassin put Daniel Bryan over on the grandest stage with a defeat in their singles match.

Before beating Batista at WrestleMania 35, Triple H had suffered a defeat against him in the closing match of WrestleMania 21 while John Cena defeated him via submission in the next WrestleMania main event at the Allstate Arena. It is unknown whether Triple H will be a part of this year’s WrestleMania, but the company has not announced a match for him thus far.

For now, his record remains intact.
