What are the best WrestleMania moments in history? WrestleMania is the largest WWE event of the year, and Superstars of all ages have tried to achieve their own iconic ‘Mania moment’.

1. Hulk Hogan slams Andre The Giant - WrestleMania III

The 1987 WrestleMania event is considered to be the most famous and greatest ever, with an estimated 93,000 spectators inside the Pontiac Silverdome.

2. Brock Lesnar breaks The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak - WrestleMania 30

The bout itself was awful, but the MOMENT when Brock Lesnar ended The Undertaker's historic streak of 'Mania wins was beyond legendary. 'Taker's loss at the Showcase of the Immortals was completely unpredicted, much alone his manner of defeating a well-known Superstar like Lesnar. After Lesnar's unexpected victory, 21-1 would go up on screens all across the Superdome, and the stunned expressions on the spectators' faces added to this unforgettable scene.



 

3. Daniel Bryan conquers GOLD - Wrestlemania XXX

Fans did everything in their power to persuade the business to put Daniel Bryan in the WrestleMania 30 main event after deciding they wanted to see him there. The WWE Universe viewed Bryan as an even larger underdog star after the disastrous Royal Rumble event when Batista won the 30-man battle.

Bryan was ultimately confirmed for a bout against Triple H, the winner of which would be added to the 'Mania 30 main event. After defeating The Game, Bryan went on to defeat Randy Orton and Batista to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, providing the stunned crowd with a thrilling moment.

The Showcase of the Immortals at WrestleMania 35 would feature the first-ever Women's WrestleMania main event, including UFC icon Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch.
