5 Times when Champions in WWE wrestled non-title PPV matches

#2 The New Day vs League of Nations (WWE WrestleMania 32)

The New Day hasn't won a WrestleMania match as a unit.

Around midway through their record-breaking 483-day reign as WWE RAW Tag Team Champions, WWE decided to take advantage of The New Day's rise in popularity and turn them babyface. A move that worked so well, that they have remained good guys ever since.

Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods turned face with the help of the League of Nations, a stable comprising of WWE's top foreign heels. The two groups started a feud, which would peak at WrestleMania 32. However, the Tag Titles were not involved at the 'Show of Shows'.

Various combinations of Sheamus, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio, and Wade Barrett unsuccessfully challenged for the titles on multiple occasions around WrestleMania. But the League of Nations actually defeated the New Day in a non-title 6-man action at 'Mania, after the latter team entered the AT&T Stadium through a giant box of cereal.

The reason for this was apparent very quickly, with the heels picking up the victory and cutting a post-match promo before being interrupted by Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. The trio of WWE legends quickly dispatched the League of Nations, before celebrating with The New Day.

And then Austin stunned Xavier Woods just for laughs. Well, at least he was still a WWE Tag Team Champion. The New Day lost another non-title 6-man match on pay-per-view later in the year, against the Wyatt Family at Battleground.
