WWE’s Wrestlemania is the biggest event for the wrestling/sports entertainment company of the year. It’s a time where storylines come to a close–unless they carryover to Backlash–and major championships are on the line. In fact, Wrestlemania has become such a large spectacle that it takes place over the course of two nights, which began in 2020.
This year’s event promises to be one of the most-hyped Mania’s in recent history, seeing the return of The Rock, a rematch between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, The Usos fighting each other, and Becky Lynch trying to win the WWE Women’s World Championship against Rhea “Mami” Ripley. There are plenty of matches fans want to see, but before we get excited about this year’s event, let’s take a look at the past events and each Wrestlemania main event.
