The main event of WWE pay-per-views often contains some of the biggest names in the business. However, these following grapplers who were once featured in the final match of the evening may surprise you!
This alliance with the Hulkster allowed Jim to main event the second Survivor Series PPV in 1988. Facing the ‘Million Dollar Team’ comprised of the Red Rooster, Akeem, the Big Boss Man, Haku, and Ted DiBiase would be his only PPV main event.
At SummerSlam ‘91, the trio of Iraqi sympathizers took on the Hogan-Warrior team in the main event. Adnan and Sheik were chased away by Warrior to the backstage area before Hogan pinned Slaughter for the win.
The first-ever Smokey Mountain world champion only had this WWE pay-per-view match before moving on to more success in SMW, before a memorable ECW run, where he had a feud with Tommy Dreamer and a member of the Triple Threat faction.
Taylor never again wrestled in the company. This is the only WrestleMania main event aside from the women’s match at WrestleMania 35 to feature two wrestlers who would never win the WWE championship.
