Ryback then began a feud with Mark Henry after several non-verbal confrontations led to them attacking Drew McIntyre with their finishing moves in an attempt to one-up each other. The following week on Raw , Ryback explained his attack on Cena as stepping out from his shadow and getting revenge for Cena not having his back against The Shield; Ryback got a measure of revenge later that night, by allowing the Shield to attack Cena. After becoming the number one contender to the WWE Championship, Ryback continued his feud with Cena by attacking him on several occasions while also having confrontations with The Shield.

The following night on Raw , Ryback entered the arena in an ambulance and challenged Cena to an ambulance match for the WWE Championship at the first-ever Payback pay-per-view.

The following week on Raw , Cena accepted Ryback's challenge, but announced their match would instead be a 3 Stages of Hell match ; the first fall a lumberjack match , the second a tables match and the third an ambulance match.

In August, Ryback debuted a new gimmick, where he began bullying various backstage workers. Also as part of the gimmick, Ryback would back away from fighting opponents of equal size and taking advantage of smaller and vulnerable opponents.

Mack disappeared shortly after his loss, only making a few random appearances over the next year until he was released in He still managed to make a huge impact with a long undefeated streak that lasted nearly a year, although as usual it included dozens of technical losses along the way. At first, the record was entirely clean, with dozens of losses against local jobbers, graduating to low-level WWE wrestlers like Stevie Richards, Funaki, and Jamie Noble.

Given the three-way nature of the feud, Kozlov managed to keep his streak in tact without ever winning the championship. His streak finally ended in March of , when he was cleanly defeated by Shawn Michaels on Raw.

Ironically, Ryback actually started his tenure in WWE with a lengthy winning streak, perhaps strengthening his argument were there only any proof he felt the same way back when he was on the rise. Things turned around once Sheffield turned into Ryback, though, as he went on to hold a 38 match winning streak on television from April to October of that year. His winning ways over, Ryback gradually fell down the card over the next two years, ultimately leaving over the aforementioned money issues related to his winning ways being over.

They say behind every great man is a great woman and this may be the case with Rusev and Lana, if no one else on this list. Rusev suffered a number of losses in NXT as did many on this list, only for his luck to turn around in a major way when his future wife joined him as his manager. Rusev only lost via disqualification in NXT from that point on and continued to a long undefeated streak when he graduated to the main WWE roster.

Although he suffered a few count out losses, Rusev won the United States Championship during his streak, steadily rising up the roster in his victory. The success came to an end when Rusev lost the title to John Cena, who pinned him at WrestleMania 31, after 14 months of avoiding clean losses. When Joe was signed by TNA, he earned even greater success, going another 18 months without ever suffering a pin fall or submission loss. Each streak contained a number of count out and disqualification losses as per usual, plus an early no contest with Kevin Owens.

In truth, Andre had lost by DQ and count out even within WWE, although he truthfully had never been pinned in the company. While winning streaks are fairly impressive in and of themselves, wrestlers experiencing them still need to win championships and other important honors amongst their wins, lest the whole thing get forgotten even faster than usual.

The longer the streak lasts, the more important it is the wrestler earn a meaningful win and the best piece of evidence for this fact is probably the 20 months Tatanka spent without ever earning an official loss.
