#2 Kofi Kingston
WWE Debut: January 22, 2008
‘Mania Debut: WrestleMania 25 (Money in the Bank ladder match)
One-third of the New Day, Kofi Kingston, has stolen many hearts with his thrilling, jaw-dropping and show-stealing moves in the ring. Along with Big E and Xavier Woods, Kingston has excelled as part of a team that’ll certainly go into the ‘Hall of Fame’ one day.
Kingston has achieved a lot, but he hasn’t done one thing that every wrestler dreams of - featuring on a one-on-one bout on the ‘Mania card. However, Kingston should have a high-profile singles match on the show sooner than later.
#1 Dolph Ziggler
WWE Debut: September 19, 2005 (on Sunday Night Heat; his RAW debut came in January, the following year)
‘Mania Debut: WrestleMania XXVI (“Money in the Bank Ladder” match)
The Show-Off has spent over a decade in the WWE entertaining fans with his amazing skills and swag. Since making his RAW debut on January 23, 2006, Dolph Ziggler has won Championships, headlined shows, popped audiences, and has often been the hottest property on the roster. Yet, Ziggler hasn’t fought a singles match at ‘mania.
It’s a startling fact when you consider that Ziggler is a multi-time World Champion, and connects really well with the audience. Let's hope that Ziggler will someday get his well deserved 'Mania singles match.
