5 greatest WWE Superstars who never headlined WrestleMania

#1. CM Punk

CM Punk should have headlined WrestleMania at least once.

CM Punk deserved to headline WrestleMania. Punk was - without an iota of doubt - WWE's hottest wrestler from 2011 to 2013. However, WWE never gave him a chance to close out the Show of Shows.

Punk was in the form of his life after cutting the pipebomb promo - where he questioned some of WWE management's decisions pertaining to part-timers and not rewarding the hard-working performers. The Rock got handed the main event of WrestleMania 28, even though he had been away from the company for many years.

At WrestleMania 28, The Rock and John Cena headlined in a "Once in a Lifetime" match ahead of the WWE title match featuring Punk and Chris Jericho. However, the next year, WWE screwed Punk out of the main event once more, instead choosing the sequel match between Cena and Rock to close out the show yet again. WWE could have easily added Punk to make it a triple threat match for the WWE Championship - but they didn't. Punk, meanwhile, had the best match on the show against The Undertaker.
