These are the last times WWE wrestlers challenged for a title. Part 3. The last time Kurt Angle challenged for a title was in April 2006 against Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Title. Rey countered the Angle Slam, put Angle into position and hit him with the 619. Rey went for the West Coast Pop, Angle countered him and caught him with the Ankle Lock. Then Mark Henry attacked both of them, ending in a no contest. Jeff Hardy’s last shot was in October 2021 against Damian Priest for the US Title. Jeff hit Priest with the Swanton Bomb, went for the pin and Priest countered him and pinned him to retain the title. Rob Van Dam’s last chance was in August 2014, teaming up with Sheamus against Curtis Axel and Ryback and The Usos for the tag titles. RVD pushed Curtis Axel off the turnbuckle, hit him with the Five Star Frog Splash and Jimmy hit him with a splash to retain the titles. Ryback’s last chance at a title was on the Payback 2016 pre-show against Kalisto for the US Title. Kalisto dodged Ryback’s splash and hit him with the Salida Del Sol to retain the title.
