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

7. Sycho Sid - WrestleMania 13

For the fifth straight WrestleMania (if we're including Hogan vs. Yokozuna as the main of IX), one or more members of the main event failed to make it onto the following SummerSlam card. WrestleMania 13 was headlined by a WWF Championship match between then-champion Psycho Sid and The Undertaker, a match that the Deadman won after Bret Hart got involved.

Taker continued his run as champion all the way until SummerSlam, where that very same Hit Man defeated him for the title thanks to the inadvertent interference of guest referee Shawn Michaels. What was Psycho Sid doing on the SummerSlam 1997 card?

Absolutely nothing. Much like the aftermath of his WrestleMania VIII main event, Sid was no longer with the company, deciding to leave in order to rehab a serious neck injury. He wouldn't return to mainstream American wrestling until 1999, when he turned up in Extreme Championship Wrestling.
