11 WWE WrestleMania Headliners Who Didn't Make The Following SummerSlam

9. Bam Bam Bigelow - WrestleMania XI

WrestleMania XI was headlined by NFL linebacker Lawrence Taylor taking on Bam Bam Bigelow, in a match that defied all expectations to be actually not that bad. Whilst the vast majority of credit should go to Bam Bam, Taylor more than held his own in what is probably the most impressive in-ring performance by a non-wrestler in memory.

Taylor obviously didn't wrestle at SummerSlam in 1995, but it is surprising to note that Bam Bam didn't make it to the 'Biggest Party of the Summer' either. Bigelow turned face after the WrestleMania defeat, breaking ties with Ted DiBiase and his Million Dollar Corporation and feuding with its members throughout the year.

Bam Bam didn't make it onto the SummerSlam card, a healthy scratch if you will, and his last match for the company came at Survivor Series that year against Goldust.
