#3 – Shawn Michaels Eliminated Shelton Benjamin From The Royal Rumble Three Years In A Row
Shelton Benjamin and Shawn Michaels certainly aren’t strangers. Fans are still talking about that epic superkick that HBK delivered to Benjamin on Raw back in 2005. You know the one I’m talking about.
Yup, that’s the one. That superkick certainly is impressive, but it’s far from the only time that Shawn Michaels got the upper hand on Shelton Benjamin.
HBK eliminated Shelton Benjamin from the Royal Rumble match three years in a row in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
#2 – Triple H Ended Randy Orton’s First Three World Title Reigns
During his early days in WWE, Triple H took Randy Orton under his wing when he formed Evolution with Ric Flair. With the help of Triple H, Randy Orton quickly made his way to the top of WWE, and it wasn’t long before he won World Championship gold.
Randy Orton has won 12 World Titles over the course of his WWE career, which means he’s also lost 12 World Titles, and he lost his first three to Triple H.
Randy Orton won his first World Heavyweight Championship in 2004 when he defeated Chris Benoit at SummerSlam, and he dropped the belt to Triple H about a month later at Unforgiven.
In 2007, Vince McMahon awarded the vacant WWE Championship to Randy Orton at No Mercy, and Triple H then challenged him to a match, and defeated him to end his second World Title reign. Triple H defended the title against Randy Orton later that night and Orton walked out with the gold.
Months later at Backlash in 2008, Randy Orton defended his WWE Championship in a Fatal 4-Way elimination match which came down to Orton and Triple H. In the end it was Triple H who successfully ended Randy Orton’s third World Title reign.
#1 – John Cena Holds The Record For Most Losses At SummerSlam
SummerSlam has not been kind to John Cena. Although Cena is often referred to as the “Face That Runs the Place” he’s also the WWE Superstar who holds the record for most losses at SummerSlam.
John Cena’s SummerSlam career started off strong when he defeated Booker T in 2004, and then Chris Jericho in 2005, but it was all downhill from there.
His first SummerSlam loss came in 2006 when he lost the main event to Edge, and since then he’s lost a total of 9 matches at SummerSlam.
