5 former WWE World Champions who never got a rematch for the title

#4. Triple H lost his WWE Championship and never challenged again

Royal Rumble 2016 was different from the others as the WWE Championship was on the line in the free-for-all. Triple H entered the Rumble at #30 and won the championship.

The Cerebral Assassin defended his title against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 32. It was an intense brawl between the two, which also included an unintentional spear to Stephanie McMahon.

It was Reigns who stood tall in the match. Though The Game contested some matches after this fight, he never challenged for a world championship again.

#3. Edge never got a chance to reclaim his prestigious Big Gold Belt

Edge was the ultimate WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He won the championship seven times, more than anyone else.

The last time The Rated-R Superstar held the title was in 2011. He defended the title against Alberto Del Rio at WrestleMania that year and stood tall in the clash.

However, he relinquished the title the following SmackDown due to being diagnosed with spinal stenosis. While Finn Balor also had to vacate his title due to a legit injury, he was given a rematch after his return.

Such a rematch was not feasible in Edge's case as he returned to WWE in 2020. Unfortunately, the World Heavyweight Championship was retired back in 2013.
