Week after week the WWE superstars put their bodies on the line for achieving two crucial goals, one is to entertain the fans, and the other is to cement their places among the names of the greatest superstars in WWE history.
Many ambitious pro wrestlers have stepped inside the WWE ring to get to that most coveted place, but that's not an easy feat to achieve. The superstars have to work their way to climb ahead of the other superstars in pursuit to the top of the ladder.
WWE has a plethora of talented professional wrestlers on the roster and makes sure that every single one of them gets their opportunity to prove themselves on the weekly programs. But only a select few find their way into the PPVs.
While getting into a PPV match card itself takes loads of hard work and dedication, there's a list of elite superstars who have competed in the main event of consecutive PPVs. Let's look at those superstars who have made it to that list in the past ten years.
_________________________________________________________________________
#6 Chris Jericho - 4 main events in a row - 2008
Now this one dates way back to 2008, Chris Jericho won a championship scramble match for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship which also featured Batista, JBL, Kane and Rey Mysterio.
Chris Jericho then went on to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Shawn Michaels in a ladder match at No Mercy. Jericho lost the title to Batista at Cyber Sunday with Stone Cold as the special guest referee but recaptured it a week later on an episode of Raw.
Jericho's fourth straight PPV main event was at Survivor Series 2008 when he lost the world title to a returning John Cena.
Chris Jericho is the current reigning IWGP Intercontinental Champion and is the first person to have held both the WWE and IWGP Intercontinental Championships.
#5 CM Punk - 4 main events in a row - 2011
It was the start of CM Punk's historic 434 days WWE Championship reign, and it started off on a high note with a win against John Cena at Money in the Bank 2011.
CM Punk caught the eyes of the WWE Universe with his pipebomb promo on Raw a few weeks earlier, and he was a man of his words when he defeated John Cena to win the WWE Championship at MITB 2011.
Punk then defended the WWE title against Alberto Del Rio at SummerSlam and Triple H at Night of Champions. His fourth straight main event came in a triple threat match against John Cena and Alberto Del Rio in which he came out victorious.
CM Punk had a record-breaking run with the WWE Championship and dropped the title to the Rock at Royal Rumble 2013. He walked out of the WWE a year later and tried his luck inside the Octagon in two unsuccessful attempts.
Time heals many wounds, and we must wait to find out if we'll see Punk in a WWE ring once again.
#4 Seth Rollins - 6 main events in a row - 2015
It won't be an overstatement if one say 2015 was the year of Seth Rollins. After winning the MITB ladder match in 2014, Rollins had to wait a few more months before his time would begin.
His time in the limelight started off when he cashed in his MITB contract at WrestleMania 31 during the main event between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar and became the new WWE Champion.
Rollins' reign had everything a fan could ask for, and he played the role of a heel champion to perfection. Rollins main evented five straight PPVs after WrestleMania 31 and the count would've been nine if Undertaker and Brock Lesnar were not in the headliner of SummerSlam and Hell in a Cell 2015.
#3 John Cena - 4 Main Events in a row (2014) & 6 in a row (2010, 2011& 2012)
It's not an easy job to be in the main event of consecutive PPV's, and it's unquestionably not an easy job to do it more than once. But this man has done it four times in the last ten years.
While John Cena has been in the main event of multiple PPV's, he was a part of four consecutive PPV main events in 2014 and six main events each in 2010-2012. This record proves why he is the greatest WWE superstar of this era.
Cena's last appearance was at the Greatest Royal Rumble where he defeated Triple H. It's unclear when the 16 time WWE Champion will return to the squared circle as he is on a hiatus focusing on his other ventures.
#2 Randy Orton - 7 Main events in a row - 2013
While John Cena was the resident Superman of the WWE, his job wouldn't be complete without a Supervillain to cause some trouble. Randy Orton was the perfect person to play that role.
The third generation superstar has never failed to deliver whenever he got the opportunity, and he has been one of the major superstars in the WWE's transition to the PG era.
Randy Orton made this list after he won the MITB ladder match in 2013 and cashed it in on Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam to win the WWE Championship.
He main evented seven PPV's in a row starting from MITB in July to TLC in December 2013. The count would have been ten in a row if he and Cena had main evented Royal Rumble 2014.
Orton returned to the WWE at the Extreme Rules PPV last Sunday after taking some time off due to injury. We must wait to find out what the future holds for the Viper.
#1 Roman Reigns - 8 main events in a row - 2016
Roman Reigns was one his way to his second WrestleMania main event in a row, and the WWE made sure they booked him very strong in the process.
Reigns defeated Dean Ambrose in a tournament final at Survivor Series 2015 and won his first WWE Championship. His reign lasted only a few seconds after Sheamus cashed in the MITB contract.
Reigns regained the title from Sheamus on the December 14th, 2015 episode of Raw. Reigns main evented eight PPV's in a row starting from Survivor Series in November 2015 to MITB in June 2016.
The Big Dog will now set his sights on becoming the No 1 contender for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam. He will face Bobby Lashley on the next episode of Raw, and we must wait to find out who comes out as the new No 1 contender.
