– Here are some more statistics on the stagnant nature of the WWE Main Event scene, courtesy of Leon Peters: To follow up on the post you guys had up on the site last week about Randy Orton, John Cena & Triple H dominating the PPV main events, here's a couple of more scary statistics about those 3 guys. The last time there was a WWE PPV without any of those guys in a WWE Title/World Heavyweight Title match or without any of those guys being a WWE Champion/World Heavyweight Champion in a non-title match was at, get this, Vengeance 2006! Over 3 years ago! Rob Van Dam defended the WWE Title against Edge. The two exceptions would be Great American Bash 2006(a Smackdown brand PPV) and December To Dismember 2006(an ECW brand PPV), but Orton, Cena and HHH were all Raw stars at the time. Another scary statistic is the last time there has been a Wrestlemania without either Orton, Cena or HHH in a WWE Title/World Heavyweight Title match was 2001 for WrestleMania X-Seven when The Rock defended the WWF Title against Stone Cold Steve Austin! Wow.
