5 WWE Superstars who wrestled twice in one night

Competing in one match in a WWE event is hard enough. Competing in two matches, especially on the same night is near impossible. Multiple Superstars have done it in the past even though the odds were against them. Whether they were forced into it or they tried to cash-in on an opportunity, these Superstars had the guts to step inside the squared circle twice to prove their worth.

Many WWE fans have dreamed of one day stepping inside a WWE ring, facing their dream opponent and winning the WWE Championship. Wrestling two matches in one night, however, might not be part of that plan. So let's leave it to the professionals to do what they do best - entertain us. As a WWE superstar, being on the road for 300 days a year isn't easy.

Neither is stepping out of a plane and wrestling two matches the next night, whether it's on Raw, Smackdown Live or a special event. So without further adieu, here are five WWE Superstars who stepped between the ropes twice in the same night at a WWE PPV when the spotlight was brightest.

#5 Daniel Bryan - WrestleMania XXX

Daniel Bryan competed in two matches at WrestleMania 30

Things were not easy for Daniel Bryan in 2014. From having a year-long feud with The Authority and being denied another shot for the coveted WWE Championship, Bryan had to catch and claw his way to being a contender for the WWE title at WrestleMania 30.

The only person on his way was Triple H. Bryan took on The Game in the opening match at WrestleMania 30 where the winner of that match was guaranteed a spot in the WWE Championship main event.

Bryan shocked the world by defeating The Cerebral Assassin and went on to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event by defeating Batista and Randy Orton.

It was, all in all, a pretty big deal because Bryan stated that he was originally supposed to face Sheamus at the 'Showcase of the Immortals' but thanks to the WWE Universe he achieved what he rightfully deserved.

#4 Chris Jericho - Vengeance (2001)

Jericho battled two legends at WWE Vengeance in 2001

Speaking of winning two world championships at once, current IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho did it first. The original Undisputed WWE Champion was crowned in a double-down effort by the GOAT himself at WWE Vengeance in 2001, where he first successfully defeated The Rock to win the WCW Championship.

Moments later, Jericho was forced to battle then WWE Champion “Stone Cold” Steve Austin in his second match of the night to unify the two world titles. Jericho is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever perform in WWE history and he is the first wrestler to win the WWE and NJPW Intercontinental Championship.

#3 Christian - Over the Limit (2012)

Christian competed in "One more match" the same night

Christian's road to the World Heavyweight Championship was a long one since Captain Charisma made his WWE pay-per-view return at Over the Limit back in 2012. Even though the former World Heavyweight Champion didn’t exactly get “One More Match” for the biggest prize like he wanted -- he did, however, get two matches in on night — with a title on the line.

In Christian’s first match of the evening, he won a Battle Royal contest to earn either an opportunity at Cody Rhodes’ Intercontinental Championship or Santino Marella’s United States Championship. He went on to defeat Cody Rhodes in his second match of the night to capture the Intercontinental Championship.

#2 Seth Rollins - Night of Champions (2015)

Seth Rollins faced John Cena and Sting in one night

Current WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins had his plate full at WWE Night of Champions in 2015 when he defended not one but two of his titles on the same night against two legends. First, he defended the United States Championship against John Cena but couldn't keep his hands on the title.

Then after the match, Rollins had to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against the icon Sting. He won the match and retained the title, while things were not bright for Sting, who was left in ruins on the mat.

Sheamus tried to cash in his Money in the Bank contract but was attacked by the returning Kane, who also went on to attack Seth Rollins as payback for what Seth did to him a couple of weeks ago on Raw. Rollins competed in two matches that night and he went through Cena, Sting, Sheamus and Kane. He must've felt really dizzy that night.

#1 Brock Lesnar - Royal Rumble (2003)

Brock had his hands full in 2003

At the Royal Rumble PPV in 2003, The Next Big Thing Brock Lesnar had to go through The World's Largest Athlete The Big Show, to earn a spot in the Royal Rumble match at the end of the night. The Beast Incarnate brought the pain to Big Show and earned the right to compete in the Royal Rumble match.

Lesnar entered the Royal Rumble match at number 29 and last eliminated The Phenom The Undertaker to win the Rumble, giving him a WWE Championship shot against Kurt Angle at WrestleMania XIX. Brock successfully defeated Angle to capture the WWE Championship in a match that many will never forget.
