WWE Monday Night Raw set the benchmark for wrestling TV shows from the time it was incepted in 1993. Many renowned talent from around the world including celebrities and athletes have made an appearance on the show. Despite losing its spark over the years thanks to WWE's shift to a family-friendly product, Raw continues to be one of the leading pro wrestling programs in the world alongside its sister show, Friday Night SmackDown.
Wrestlers such as John Cena and Randy Orton played a pivotal role on Raw during the flayed PG-era where they dominated the brand as key figures. Other stars, however, were not very successful during their time on the red brand despite competing in a lot of matches on the show. Here are 10 wrestlers who incurred the most losses in WWE Raw history, so far.
10 Cody Rhodes - 130
Cody Rhodes spent the majority of his time in WWE as a mid-carder. The American Nightmare, however, felt that he belonged on the main card next to top guys such as Triple H, Orton, and CM Punk.
Cody's father, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes, was a massively popular star, but he, unfortunately, couldn't replicate Dusty's success, at least not in WWE. He has competed in 242 matches on Raw, losing 130 of them. Cody is doing much better in AEW though, as he rarely ever loses a match clean.
9 Christian - 134
Christian is often regarded as one of the most underrated wrestlers in WWE history. Although he is a former World Heavyweight Champion, he didn't enjoy the same level of success in the company compared to other top stars such as his best friend and former tag team partner Edge.
Captain Charisma has wrestled in 246 matches on Raw and he ties two other superstars with 134 losses. He had his last match on the red brand against Randy Orton last year which he instantly lost after receiving a punt kick to the head. Christian currently competes in AEW as Christian Cage, so the chances of him having another bout on Raw in the future is up in the air.
8 Kofi Kingston - 134
Kofi Kingston reached the pinnacle of his career after he defeated Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35 to capture the WWE Championship for the first time in his 11-year long career. He has been competing in WWE since 2008, mostly as part of the Raw brand.
Kofi Kingston has had a total of 299 matches on Raw, and he was unsuccessful in 134 of them. He is still an active competitor on the show, so he's capable of bringing in more W's to add to his record.
7 Big Show - 134
Paul Wight (FKA Big Show) is best known for his time in WWE where he held multiple championships including the WWE World Title, United States, and Intercontinental Championship. He currently works in AEW as a member of the commentary team for the promotion's secondary weekly YouTube show, Dark: Elevation.
Paul Wight has wrestled 331 times on Raw, winning 162 bouts, losing 134, and 35 no-contests. At WrestleMania 36, he challenged Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship in an impromptu match that was televised on Raw the following day.
6 Triple H - 139
Triple H was a big part of the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Era which helped WWE defeat WCW in the ratings war and remain the top wrestling company in the world. The 14-time world champion had a successful career in the company from the early 2000s when he terrorized the entire Raw brand.
Triple H had his last match on the January 11th, 2021 episode of Raw where he took on Randy Orton in a Street Fight. The match, however, ended in a no-contest without a decisive winner. Triple H's total number of matches on the show stands at 377 with 189 defeats.
5 Randy Orton - 161
Randy Orton has the second-highest number of matches on Raw with 377 bouts, only behind Kane's 436. Unlike the Big Red Monster, The Viper is still an active competitor and it doesn't look like he's going anywhere soon, so that number will ultimately increase.
Randy Orton also has one of the most wins on the red brand with 218 victories. He also has one of the most losses with 161. Randy Orton will go down as one of the best to ever do it, and he's a sure-fire WWE Hall of Famer.
4 Dolph Ziggler - 164
Dolph Ziggler has been competing on Raw and WWE altogether for a very long time. He has been assigned to both the SmackDown and Raw brands during his career. Ziggler is a former Intercontinental, Tag Team, United States and World Heavyweight Champion.
While he has challenged for the coveted WWE Championship, he never held one before. He has the ten-most matches in the history of Raw with 294 bouts. He also has a lot of losses, with 164 defeats. He currently wrestles on SmackDown where he's part of a tag team with Robert Roode.
3 The Miz - 175
The Miz is a talented performer who doesn't always get the credits he deserves. He has had a very successful career in WWE, where he holds the record for being the first-ever two-time Grand Slam Champion. Despite his accomplishments, many people still look down on him.
That's probably because he plays a very convincing villain which has made fans genuinely hate him. The Miz has lost way more matches than he has won, with 175 losses on Monday Night Raw. Since he's still assigned to the red brand, that number will keep increasing.
2 Kane - 181
Kane has done a lot in WWE. He had an iconic feud with his storyline half-brother The Undertaker that spanned 20 years and his a multi-time champion. His biggest moment, however, came in 1998 at King of the Ring where he defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin in the main event of the show to capture his first world title.
Although his reign only lasted about 24 hours, it was still a huge triumph for the Devil's Favorite Demon. Kane currently holds the record for most matches in the history of Raw with 436, and he suffered a total of 214 losses.
1 Chris Jericho - 202
Chris Jericho being last on this list might be a surprise to many, considering his status as a top name in the industry. The inaugural Undisputed World Champion has accomplished a lot in the business, and he'll undoubtedly go down as a legend.
Just like The Miz, Jericho also has more losses on Raw than wins, with 193 defeats versus 202 wins. He has competed in a total of 420 matches on the red brand, which is the third-highest in history. Chris Jericho is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling and he's recognized as the first person to win the AEW Championship.
