Who would you say is the best superstar to never Main Event a Wrestlemania. And I dont mean having a mid-card world title match. I would have to say CM Punk. Its strange to have a guy that held the WWE title for 434 days and NOT close out Wrestlemania

Do you mean main event as in the last match on the card, or a WWE title match included?

Jeff Hardy. For as over as he always is in the E, he never got the nod.

Not a lot of guys on this list. Maybe Eddie Guerrero.

Triple H.
Sure, he did multiple times but he's still going to be number one on this list.

Yea Eddie is one of the best ever not to do it, but to be fair he was easily booked as co-main events with his best friend [REDACTED] and even shared the infamous hug with [REDACTED] to close out mania.

Just for reference's sake, here's the guys that have:
Andre the Giant Bam Bam Bigelow Batista Big Show Bret Hart Brock Lesnar Chris Benoit Chris Jericho Edge HHH Hulk Hogan John Cena King Kong Bundy Kurt Angle Lawrence Taylor Mick Foley Miz Mr. T Paul Orndorff Randy Orton Randy Savage Rock Roddy Piper Shawn Michaels Sid Sgt. Slaughter Steve Austin Ted DiBiase Ultimate Warrior Undertaker Yokozuna
********************************
Along with the previously noted, some notable omissions:
Lex Luger - Yes, we have the infamous urban legend about him losing his opportunity after blabbing stuff around (I still don't believe this one) but surprising given his megapush
JBL - There were a couple of years in there he was as likely to get pushed into the spot as anyone else.
RVD - See above.
Alberto Del Rio - Not really a "best" but given how he seemingly headlined everything within touching distance for so long, it's surprising he hasn't.
Any tag team since the first Wrestlemania.

I can't think of any, maybe Ric Flair?
I mean, there's several people who are great wrestlers, but they were never in the position that they would be closing out Mania. Guys like Perfect fall into this and really so does Flair. His peak was at Mania 8 and with Hogan retiring, Flair wasn't gonna close out the show. Maybe vs. HBK would have been the best, everyone knew he was "retiring" anyway, so, maybe he should have gotten the honor? I don't know.

I don't want to repeat anyone else, so I'll suggest Kevin Nash. He was champion for the better part of a year, was champion during one and still got overshadowed by a celebrity match.
