Is this the first time the rumble winner hasnt used their title shot to headline wrestlemania? seeing as John Cena is using it at no way out and the elimination chamber determines the number 1 contender
or does this mean triple threat, like what they did with rey, orton and angle a couple years back

Regardless, this probably means triple threat. |

Technically Rey didn't go for the title at Mania with the title shot he had won at the Rumble...
He lost it to Orton, and then got another one from Teddy Long out of pity.

IIRC Vince gave his title shot away and Austin was stripped of it for cheating.
This case might be the first time the wrestler has used the title shot for an event earlier than WrestleMania.

You are correct in both instances, but the question wasn't "is this the first time someone cashed in the shot early". Although, as I remember it, Austin was stripped of it for cheating PLUS there was the controversy of the Michaels reign...so it forced the IYH: Final Four PPV. |
