Not only did Kevin Owens set all those records with Sami Zayn, but he also accomplished a solitary record that, really, can be construed as either profound or as a representation of WWE's flawed confidence in him as a performer.

With his successive night one WrestleMania headliners vs. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin in 2022 and vs. The Usos in 2023, KO has become the first 'Mania main eventer to headline two back-to-back WrestleManias without one being for a World title.

It's both remarkable and disheartening. He's never had a World title match at WrestleMania, period!

Hulk Hogan headlined the first three WrestleManias, embroiled in a tag team match the first year, and defending the WWF World Heavyweight title the other two vs. King Kong Bundy and Andre The Giant, respectively. Triple H also main evented a trifecta of WrestleManias, defending the World Heavyweight title in both 2004 and 2005, before challenging defending WWE Champion John Cena in 2006. Roman Reigns, however, is the undisputed chief of such an act with seven 'Mania headline spots to his name, and just one of those NOT being for a World title, that being WrestleMania 33 vs. The Undertaker.
