I want to make sure I drop some content before I turn up tonight So, you know, you got to embrace the Texans gear for this particular video But we're gonna check out 10 WWE wrestlers who had the biggest WrestleMania downgrades now It's it's a weird situation where sometimes someone could be at the top of the mountain They could be main eventing WrestleMania or at the top of the card at a previous WrestleMania And then years later Whatever happens, maybe injury or someone else takes their spot because they they end up getting over Or maybe there's some backstage heat and that person loses favor with Vince and you know Some of the people in the creative They end up down lower on the card and they end up even on the pre show or not even on the show At all it happens. It's a revolving door when it comes to wrestling Some people are at the top and they stay at the top for a while Some people at the top for a little bit and they slowly start dropping down the card So we're gonna check out some of these instances Appreciate all the love support you guys shown on the channel. Let's get right into this one, man So mania then should be one of the highlights of a I can hear a damn thing in my headphones Esla's career WrestleMania is the biggest event in all of pro wrestling and numerous wrestlers have had the honor of Gracing the grandest stage of them all Yeah, however It's often the case that a wrestler has a prominent spot on a WrestleMania card and by the time the next installment a WWE signature pay-per-view comes around They have fallen dramatically down the card join us now as wrestling here looks at 10 WWE wrestlers who were the biggest WrestleMania downgrade Subscribe to wrestling if you haven't already And subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on facebook for exclusive lists Also, check out our new website wrestleaimia.com Number 10 chris jericho Chris Jericho has wrestled some iconic names at WrestleMania However, Jericho's downgrade from WrestleMania 28 to 29 was truly shocking At WrestleMania 28 Jericho challenged C and punk for the WWE title and what the key matches on the show Yet at WrestleMania 29 Jericho would face off against Fandango when Jericho heard about the booking plans for WrestleMania 29 He was furious and when he found out that Vince McMahon wanted him to lose the match the anger reached a boiling point Jericho was so annoyed with his creative direction that he had almost quit the company However, it was a chat with the legendary undertaker which led to Jericho changing his mind and doing his job to the best of his ability And that's because the undertaker He's a he's a locker room leader And that makes sense He probably would have been the only person that chris jericho would have took into consideration to do the match Not even Vince McMahon Could have probably saved That situation The undertaker did That's how much respect Everyone in the industry has from the undertaker. He was able to talk to him. Hey, just did a job, bro I Would appreciate it if you did the job Something like that. That's that's the type of level respect the undertaker has, bro Thankfully for Jericho the next time we would compete at WrestleMania would be in 2016 at WrestleMania 32 And this time Jericho was in a much better position as he would face off against AJ Styles in AJ's WrestleMania debut Yeah, number nine Seamus WrestleMania 26 was a huge night for Seamus Seamus would take on Triple H in one of the top matches on the show and despite him coming up short in the match His performance received positive reviews and the match is considered rather underrated when it comes to WrestleMania matches The following year Seamus would initially be booked to face Daniel Bryan for the u.s. Title And it goes without saying that wrestling Bryan wasn't a step down yet in 2011 Bryan had yet to unmerge as WWE's top guys and they were still hesitant to push Bryan into the main event scene Seamus's matches with Bryan would shockingly be moved to the dark match And it even got worse when the match morphed into a battle royal The battle royal would be won by the great Khali The following year at WrestleMania 28 WWE would book a match between Seamus and Bryan once again And this time for the world title and the match infamously ended in 18 seconds Number eight Stone Cold Steve Austin throughout the attitude era Stone Cold Steve Austin was WWE's number one guy However when they entered 2002 WWE began to push other talents and Austin was often budding heads with WWE creative At WrestleMania 18 Austin was booked to face Scott Hall and Austin had zero interest in the match Although Hall was a great wrestler Austin was going from wrestling the rock in the main event of WrestleMania 17 To a match at WrestleMania 18 that fans didn't have much investment in yeah on an episode of grill and jr Jim Ross who remains one of Austin's closest friends stated that Austin had every right to be annoyed with a thrown together program at WrestleMania 18 Number seven Drew Mackenzie. That's a very fair point. You really think about it He went from WrestleMania 17 to that amazing match he had with the rock To the next year not to discredit Scott Hall, but you know At the end of the day that was A peak he was at a peak and even then the match he had with them Obviously, he wasn't you know, it wasn't the best, but it wasn't the worst either it's still Once again, no disrespect to Scott Hall. It's still kind of a step down at that time period from rock Stone Cold Main event WrestleMania 17 one of the best main events of all time in my personal opinion Entire when Drew McIntyre returned to WWE in 2017. He was instantly pushed up the card Yep McIntyre won the nxt title and before fans knew it McIntyre was back on the main roster in a featured role McIntyre had notable WrestleMania matches for a number of years and these included matches with WWE's number one guy Roman Reigns and two back to back WWE title matches However, when WWE arrived at WrestleMania 38 McIntyre's plan match was to see him face Baron Corbin When it was initially reported online that McIntyre versus Corbin was the planned match for WrestleMania 38 Fans thought some kind of swerve was being planned. Yeah, this was WWE's definitive direction. Yeah, I remember and I was like, uh We ain't got nothing better for drew Reddit the cool moment is he's the first person to ever kick out the end of days That's what makes that's the only good thing about that match It was a solid match, but that's the that's the best thing people would take about take away from it He's the only person at that time to ever kick out of the end of days. That was a crowd popping moment In a move nobody expected McIntyre addressed a fan backlash to the match in an interview with Metro UK And this is what the former champion had to say. I'm very excited about it personally I've seen some of the comments when the match was made the internet can be a harsh place Of course, I appreciate all my fans around the world Their reaction is Drew's not wrestling for the title. He won the title from Brock two years along He fought for the title last year this year. He's fighting Corbin That's what we were all saying I understand that and I appreciate that But the way I see it is aside from his obvious talent in the ring Anyone who says he's not talented in ring is lying to themselves We actually have a genuine hated bad guy that everyone genuinely dislikes If people online are saying this guy is such a good bad guy. He really entertains me That's not a good bad guy. A true bad guy is someone you literally despise and you want to see get their butt kicked That's what we've got right now. And that's what I've got in my story with Corbin Number six I get it and drew Shout out to him for having Baron Corbin's back as you should But I drew him and keep it a buck. No disrespect to Corbin. I don't think Corbin is a bad wrestler I just think He hasn't really been able to connect with the crowd, especially with the trash ass gimmicks. They've been giving him Granny, he's doing much better in it in XT. But at the same time may roster. Just it's not working. It hasn't worked um Drew definitely deserves way better than fucking Baron Corbin at that time even now I'm leaving at that King Kong Bundy King Kong Bundy is mostly known to wwb fans for being in the main event of WrestleMania 2 Bundy collided with Hulk Hogan inside a steel cage Yet the following year Bundy's stock had fallen so much that his WrestleMania 3 role was reduced to one of a comedic nature At WrestleMania 3 Bundy was involved in a mixed six-man tag match He would team up with midget wrestlers little Tokyo and Lord Littlebrook against hillbilly gym the Haiti kid and little beaver The infamous match would mark Bundy's last WrestleMania appearance until WrestleMania 11 Where Bundy would be defeated by the Undertaker in Bundy's final ever time on the grandest stage of them all number five Ronda Rousey Upon returning to wwe in 2022 Ronda Rousey was propelled into a primary spot in the company Rousey would win the 2022 women's royal rumbler when going to challenge Charlotte Flair for the women's title at WrestleMania 38 Although the bill to the match was underwhelming They still presented a market of the matches one of the biggest matches on the show Yet the match was an indication that Rousey's second run in the company wasn't going to live up to expectations The match was so flat and lifeless that this would be a trend that would continue throughout Rousey's second run Rousey's feuds with Charlotte Flair live Morgan and shots He were all negatively received and by the time that WrestleMania 39 season came around There was no desire from fans to see Rousey in a prominent role on the WrestleMania card Rousey would be placed in the women's WrestleMania showcase fatal four-way tag team match teaming with Shayna Baszler and although her team won the match was considered a substantial yet justified step down compared to the year prior That's crazy. What are you thinking about it, man? It's just fucking wild, bro The downfall of her whole second run is just crazy just crazy Lex Luger WrestleMania 10 was truly Lex Luger's peak in wwe Luger to face off against Yokozuna for the wwe title and although he lost the match via dq A title match at WrestleMania isn't something to write off Fast forward to WrestleMania 11 and wwe and Vince McMahon have completely lost faith in Luger ever being a top guy in the company And this was made clear by Luger's match at the show At WrestleMania 11 Luger was in the opening contest as he teamed with the British bulldog against the blue brothers In a match that could easily have been moved to an episode of raw or even superstars The tag match would mark Luger's final ever WrestleMania appearance as he would depart wwe in august of 1995 Number three Bray Wyatt Bray Wyatt had the honor of walking into WrestleMania 33 as wwe champion Wyatt would wrestle Randy Orton on the show yet the following year all wwe could still should have won that match He should have won that fucking match. He should have won against John Cena in WrestleMania 30 They they really i'ma be honest with you. They dropped the ball with bray They dropped the ball with bray so many times He should have never lost to John Cena at WrestleMania 30. He shouldn't have never lost the title to Randy Orton When he had the wwe champion, they just uh He shouldn't have lost to Randy Orton when he came back as the fiend I thought they were gonna do he thought they were gonna do the right thing there. He's still lost That is just uh Could deliver with Wyatt was a cameo appearance on the pre-show Wyatt went into fear in the entry of the giant memorial battle royal as he was his sys mat hardy in winning the match Yeah Whilst it was great to see the legendary Wyatt on the WrestleMania stage Was this truly the best booking move that wwe could have come up with? No Going from a wwe title match to a pre-show cameo appearance wasn't a great look And wwe could have easily delivered something more in line with Wyatt's star power They gave him a cool a cool moment with matt but no he could have been in something way better Number two booker T Oh, man wwe who all are famous booker T has had a bizarre history at WrestleMania Booker has been in a world title match a pre-show match and even wrestled a boogeyman WrestleMania 19 was arguably booker's biggest match at WrestleMania as he faced off against Triple H for the world title And there's a common consensus amongst the fan base that this is a match that booker should have won But unfortunately it wasn't meant to be booker remain popular and relevant following WrestleMania 19 Yet at WrestleMania 20 Booker was defending the tag titles with rob van dam in a fatal four-way showdown Booker and rvd were defending against the Dudley boys kaden jindrak and a lot of resistance Whilst not the most lacklustre match in the world The match was seen as a low point at WrestleMania 20 as the match outcome was seen as predictable by many The following year booker would even fall further down the card as he wouldn't even make the main show The multi-time world champion would win a forgettable pre-show battle royal by eliminating the masterpiece christmas And number one the miss the main event of WrestleMania 27 Receive vast criticism as fans and wwb talent question if the miss belonged in the main event position Yep Those who claim that miss's main event run would be one-time deal were proven right the following year when miss would be relegated to wrestling In the monotonous team teddy versus team johnny matchup at WrestleMania 28 At WrestleMania 29 two years after main eventing WrestleMania alongside john sena miss wasn't even able to make the main show Miss's intercontinental title match with wade barrett would be moved to the pre-show and despite his victory in the match It was a clear sign that miss was never going to main event the biggest show of the year ever again Yep, they have it folks 10 wwb and that's a fair one. That's a fair one Yeah, because he was in the main event with john sena and then Just started falling down the card. I mean at this past year's WrestleMania. Who's just the host? That's it. He was just a host so But it happens it happens It's it's it's a part of the wrestling biz One year you could be at the top of the mountain Next year you literally could not even be on the mountain at all. Comment down below. Let me know some other wrestlers You feel like had a A good moment at WrestleMania Even it wasn't even if it wasn't in like a main event spot But they were prominently featured in WrestleMania in a good situation only four years later They end up on the pre-show or end up on the not being on the show at all Let me know if they weren't on this list, but I appreciate all the love and support you guys shown on the channel Well done. If you're getting up still young speedy you to the rest of the world. Appreciate y'all kicking in with me See you next one. Peace
