The Top Ten

  1. Triple H has the most losses in WrestleMania history

    Despite being very successful in WWE, Triple H has the most losses at the show of shows with a record of 10 wins and 13 losses.

    At least he has also won many times, so there is no shame in that.

  2. Nearly three out of four champions lose their title in the final match at WrestleMania

    Not many champions can say they successfully defended their title in the main event of WrestleMania. It seems the odds favor the challengers.

    That number will probably keep getting bigger.

  3. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin never defended the world title at WrestleMania

    "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is a multiple-time world champion, but all of Austin's championship title bouts, specifically against Shawn Michaels and twice against The Rock, were all for the title but never to defend it.

  4. Hulk Hogan main-evented the most WrestleMania shows with eight

    The Hulkster was the WWF's biggest attraction for years, so it's not surprising that he main evented WrestleMania a total of eight times, the most of any WWE Superstar. He headlined WrestleMania I to IX, with the exception of WrestleMania IV.

    Considering that Hulk Hogan is the first thing that comes to mind for many people when it comes to wrestling, this is hardly surprising.

  5. Daniel Bryan is the only superstar to win both the opening and main event of a WrestleMania

  6. Randy Savage holds the record for most WrestleMania matches in a single night with four

    Most people know Daniel Bryan competed twice at WrestleMania XXX, but younger fans probably don't know that Randy Savage competed four times in one night in a tournament for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania IV, which holds the record.

  7. Howard Finkel came up with the name "WrestleMania"

    While Vince McMahon conceptualized and developed the idea for the show, it was former announcer and WWE Hall of Famer Howard Finkel who came up with the name "WrestleMania."

    I did not know that. That's pretty cool.

  8. WrestleMania II was held across three venues

    Vince McMahon decided to hold the event in three different cities at the same time and combine them into one presentation to be broadcast live on pay-per-view and closed-circuit television. Each venue would hold four matches with its own separate main event and undercard. The venues were the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The Rosemont Horizon (now Allstate Arena) in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. And the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles.

  9. Sid wrestled only twice at WrestleMania and main-evented both times

  10. Michigan was excluded from pay-per-view access to WrestleMania III

    WWE wanted to ensure that all the seats at the Pontiac Silverdome were filled, so it excluded the entire state of Michigan from pay-per-view access to the event. The only way to view the show was by watching it live in the stadium.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Sasha Banks has a 0-6 record at WrestleMania

    After once again failing to win on the grandest stage, it's stunning to see The Boss build a losing record since first appearing at WrestleMania 32. Look out, Undertaker! Someone might be defining their career for the wrong reasons. Losses like this are staggering.

  12. ?

    WrestleMania XXVII is the only WrestleMania so far to have no title changes

    Edge retained the world title against Alberto Del Rio, and The Miz retained the WWE title against John Cena with help from The Rock.

    13. The Contenders

  13. The first WrestleMania did not have a Men's WWE Championship match

  14. At WrestleMania VI, DDP drove The Honky Tonk Man's pink Cadillac

    The Honky Tonk Man made his WrestleMania VI entrance in a pink Cadillac, and the man behind the wheel was the future WCW star and WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page.

    Twelve years later, DDP competed in his first WrestleMania match at WrestleMania X8, which was also held at the Toronto SkyDome, the same building where WrestleMania VI took place.

  15. The Undertaker holds the record for most consecutive wins at WrestleMania with 21

    This is a record I'm sure no one in WWE will ever break.

  16. At WrestleMania XIV, The Rock used the catchphrase "If you smell what The Rock is cooking" for the first time

  17. WrestleMania II took place on a Monday

    All other WrestleMania events took place on a Sunday, but WrestleMania II is the only one to take place on a Monday (until WWE made the show a two-night event in 2020).

  18. The shortest match in WrestleMania history is The Rock vs. Erick Rowan, which lasted only six seconds

  19. The Undertaker defeated all members of Evolution at WrestleMania

  20. At WrestleMania 34, Charlotte Flair defeated Asuka, ending her record undefeated streak at 914 days

  21. The Rock's only pinfall victory over "Stone Cold" Steve Austin came at WrestleMania XIX

  22. WrestleMania 2000 had no traditional singles matches on its card

    The closest singles match was the catfight, but you really can't count that since the only way to win was to throw your opponent out of the ring.

  23. CM Punk was one of the gangsters in John Cena's WrestleMania 22 entrance

  24. WrestleMania VI was the first event to take place outside the United States

  25. WrestleMania IX was the first WrestleMania held outdoors
