10 Current WWE Wrestlers With The Most PPV Main Events
Main Events are the biggest spots a superstar can have on a PPV card. These matches close the night and are reserved for the greatest wrestlers. While many superstars would have headlined at least one Premium Live Event, it takes a comprehensive skill set to do so continuously over the years.
Many current WWE superstars have had the honor of finishing the night, but some stars have done more than others. For the list, current stars include those wrestlers who are currently signed to WWE and have contested multiple matches in 2022.
10 AJ Styles - 16 Main Events (6-10)
AJ Styles is one of those indie wrestlers who made their mark in WWE. The Phenomenal One has been a regular main eventer since making his debut in 2016 and is among the top stars in the promotion today.
The first time he headlined a PPV was at his debut in the Royal Rumble Match. His first singles main event was at WWE Payback against Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship. Styles has also main evented WrestleMania during his career.
9 Rey Mysterio - 17 Main Events (2-15)
Rey Mysterio is one of the most experienced wrestlers on the roster today, and it only makes sense for him to close a PPV on numerous occasions. However, most of his main events are multi-men matches such as Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, Money in the Bank, and Survivor Series.
The Legendary Luchador has headlined a PPV in singles matches only twice—first against JBL at Judgment Day and then against King Booker at Great American Bash, both in 2006.
8 Sheamus - 17 Main Events (5-12)
Given Sheamus’ position in recent years, it’s easy to forget that The Celtic Warrior is a multi-time world champion.
He had one of the best rookie years in WWE history and soon found himself in the main event. His first major main event was at Fatal-4-Way 2010 in the eponymous match.
7 Dolph Ziggler - 19 Main Events (3-16)
Dolph Ziggler is a wrestling veteran with years of experience in WWE. He has been a part of many multi-man main events including ladder matches, Royal Rumbles, Survivor Series matches, and so on.
Out of all his main event appearances, Ziggler’s performance at Survivor Series 2014 and Extreme Rules 2018 are brought out the most and for all good reasons.
6 The Miz - 22 Main Events (2-20) 
The Miz is currently enjoying a great run and his Miz TV is again becoming the home for some great segments. Just like other stars, he has been a part of many gimmick matches and thanks to the longevity of his career, he is ranked this higher.
However, he has also headlined many PPVs in singles and triple threat matches as well, especially in 2011. The first time he main evented a PPV was at WrestleMania 27 where he surprisingly managed to defeat John Cena. If you wonder what was the second time he won at a main event, it was at the Elimination Chamber 2021 when he successfully cashed in his briefcase.
5 Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins - 30 Main Events (13-15-2)
Seth Rollins is one of the biggest superstars in recent times and has been a mainstay in the world title scenarios. He has years and years of wrestling left and may surpass almost everyone on this list.
The first time he headlined a PPV, apart from Royal Rumble, was as a member of the Shield against Evolution at Payback 2014. His first singles main event was against fellow Shield brethren, Dean Ambrose, at Hell in a Cell 2014. Rollins has since managed to get higher on the rank of superstars and has headlined many events since then.
4 Edge - 31 Main Events (10-21)
Not only is Edge one of the biggest names in wrestling today, but he is also a WWE Hall of Famer. He has defied all the injuries to return better than ever. Be it his original stint or the one after his return, the thing that remained constant was The Rated-R Superstar was often in the main events.
His first major main event came against the duo of Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match at Rebellion 2002. Although he boasts a poor record in PPV main events, it doesn’t affect his legacy even a bit.
3 Brock Lesnar - 40 Main Events (22-16-2) 
Brock Lesnar may not be referred to as a full-time superstar but there’s nothing to suggest he doesn’t have many more main events in him. Furthermore, as mentioned, he is signed with WWE through at least 2022 and is set to main event SummerSlam once again.
An interesting fact is that The Beast has participated in 71 Premium Live Events, 40 of which he headlined. This is just a reflection of his dominance from the beginning to today. His first PPV main event was against The Rock at SummerSlam 2002 for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
2 Roman Reigns - 42 Main Events (25-16-1) 
Roman Reigns has become such a big name in pro wrestling that now it’s rare to see a Premium Live Event being headlined by a match not involving Roman Reigns. It doesn’t matter whether he holds the world title or not, his matches naturally make it to the main event, given his star power.
So far, only The Undertaker, Triple H, and John Cena have more victories in the main events of PPVs than Reigns. It may not take The Tribal Chief much time to catch up with all these legends.
1 Randy Orton - 58 Main Events (19-38-1) 
While Roman Reigns may have come so far in a short time, he still has a lot of work to do to surpass Randy Orton. The Viper has been a regular face of WWE for two decades now and is still going strong as ever.
The first time The Apex Predator was a part of a major main event was at SummerSlam 2003. A rookie Orton fought against the likes of Triple H, Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Chris Jericho, and Shawn Michaels in the Elimination Chamber match.
