10 Matches That Deserved to Main Event WrestleMania 10. The Rock vs. Hulk Hogan WrestleMania 18 WrestleMania 18 was main evented by the 2002 World Rumble when a Triple H vs. Chris Jericho. Whilst this was indeed a suitable World title match for WrestleMania, it was ultimately overshadowed by a dream match between the Rock and Hulk Hogan. The dream match exceeded all expectations and numerous wrestlers including Jericho himself have stated that the match should have been in the main event slot as Jericho and the game had an impossible task. The Rock vs. Hulk and also deserved the main event slot because the Rocks worked during the invasion storyline was superb and he was still arguably the most over wrestler in the entire company. Nevertheless, whilst it remains disappointing that the dream match didn't headlined the biggest show of the year, it didn't hint to the magic that was the inaugural Rock vs. Hulk and matchup. 9. Sean Michaels vs. The Undertaker WrestleMania 25 The greatness was achieved at WrestleMania 25 when Sean Michaels and The Undertaker stole the show. Both men put on a clinic in some fans class the match as the single greatest match in the history of WrestleMania. Due to how it's standing the match was, there was not a single match on the face of the air that could successfully follow it and this meant that the main event matchup of Randy Orn vs. Triple H was met with a lukewarm response. In WWE's defence at the time, Orn vs. Triple H headlining the show was the right call. The feud was red hot and fans were expecting a war between the two bows on the grandest stage. Unfortunately, the match fell flat as both men wrestled as if they weren't in an epic blood feud. Appearing on out of character, Orn spoke about the pressure of main eventing following the HBK vs Undertaker match and this is what the former WWE Champion had to say. I remember being in the locker room with Triple H and they had a little monitor back there and we were watching Undertaker vs. Sean Michaels and he's just sitting there as to what is happening but he was being vocal about like, oh god damn it. I'm like, oh they're having a great match, what's the problem? Well, we're going to have to follow that kid. Choke slam, kick out, super kick kick out, tombstone, kick out, one two, the whole crowd is going to be tired. 8 John Cena vs. Undertaker WrestleMania 34 It's well documented just how much of a failure the main event of WrestleMania 34 ended up being. The show was made invented by Brock Lesn vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal title and the match was atrocious in every aspect and it featured a crowd that wanted no part in seeing the match in the main event slot. In terms of what match should have been invented, WWE had numerous options. Firstly they had the dream match between John Cena and Undertaker. If WWE extended the match to a main event level length, something the Undertaker was pushing for, then the match would have fully deserved the main event spotlight. Other matches that could have easily headlined included a show stealing Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle vs. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon mixed tag and potentially AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura. That's if WWE committed to giving the two talents free reign in delivering a match for the ages. 7 Triple H vs. Undertaker WrestleMania 27 It's incredibly likely that WrestleMania 27 was the only main event in by John Cena vs. The Miz because of the rocks implied involvement. If the rock wasn't involved as the host of WrestleMania, then another match would likely have been the main event slot. That match would have been the Triple H vs. Undertaker showdown. WrestleMania 27 is often regarded as one of the worst WrestleMania events of all time. And for good reason, yet the game vs. The Deadman was a truly epic encounter that saved the show from being a complete train wreck. If the show was main evented by these two legends, then the show as a whole may have been looked on more fondly in the eyes of the WWE fan base. 6. Rick Flair vs. Randy Savage WrestleMania 8 It came as a huge surprise when Rick Flair vs. Randy Savage for the WWE title didn't headline WrestleMania 8. As well as having a truly personal rivalry heading into the match, the actual match was an utter masterpiece. The match highlighted just how tremendous flaring savage were. The match if it was placed in the main event slot would have been labeled as one of the best main events of the 90s. Instead of the WWE title match main event in the show, the show going off the air with the Savage title win, WWE opted to have Hogan vs. Sid main event the show. This main event match was a dollar fan, it was only in the main event slot as it featured Hogan as well as a return of the Ultimate Warrior. 5. Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton WrestleMania 22 It was previously an expectation that if a wrestler won the annual Royal Rumble, then they would main event WrestleMania. However in 2006, Royal Rumble winner Rey Mysterio didn't main event the show and instead he was given a 9 minute world title matchup against Kurt Angle and Randy Orton. Whilst the time limit didn't impact the matchup, it was 9 minutes of non-stop action. And if the match was placed in the main event position of the show, fans would have no doubt witnessed a classic. This isn't to say the main event of WrestleMania 22 was bad as the John Cena vs. Triple H match for the WWE title was great, yet the visual of WrestleMania going off the air with Mysterio's world champion would have been truly incredible. 4. WWE's WWE's Business wasn't in the best place in 1995, so they decided a latch on to any mainstream attention they could. For WrestleMania 11 instead of having a WWE title match for main event the show, they decided to have Lawrence Taylor vs. Bam Bam big alone main event. This was a controversial move, as WWE needed to create new stars and booking a celebrity in the main event of WrestleMania and booking that celebrity to win the matchup was the opposite of what they should have been doing. The rightful main event was easily diesel vs. show Michaels for the WWE title, as the match had a strong story and the quality of the match was worthy of a WrestleMania main event. 3. Bright Heart vs. Don Coles Steve Austin WrestleMania 13 Although the WWE product was seeing a surge of popularity by WrestleMania 13, the main event of the show wasn't reflective of the product to come, the undertaker and Sid engaged in a lacklustre main event that had a little build and didn't warrant such an elite position on the card. It's a common consensus that the main event of the show should have been the undisputed classic between Bright Heart and Stone Coles Steve Austin. These two icons faced off in a submission match and the match wasn't just known for its quality, it was also the unofficial start of the Ate Udera, a stone cold emerged as one of the hottest acts in pro wrestling. 2. Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch WrestleMania 32 A rumour in reigns his character was being met with disdain by the time he made a event to WrestleMania 32. At year's main event was made evented by Triple H vs. Roman Reigns and the match was heavily panned as the fans allowed Reigns at the time and they had zero interest in seeing the match up on fold. WWE had the perfect opportunity to deliver something new and fresh for the main event of the aforementioned WrestleMania and this would have been to have the Women's Division take centre stage. The match in the show was ultimately the Triple Threat match for the women's title between Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch and seeing the three women in the main event position would have been a major deal. If this had occurred, WWE may have liked to have changed the finish as Banks who was immensely popular at the time winning the match up on the title would have been an incredibly positive way to bring WrestleMania to her close. 1. The Undertaker vs. CM Punk WrestleMania 29 CM Punk had an incredible year leading up to the main event 29 and he without question should have headlined the show. Whether Punk made event to the show vs. the Undertaker or he was inserted into the John Cena vs. Rock Re match, it didn't matter to the fans, it didn't matter to Punk who was hurt there wasn't main event in the show. The match Punk had with the Undertaker on show was widely acclaimed and Punk clearly went into the match with a chip on his shoulder. The actual main event of the show that being seen of us at the Rock 2, piled in comparison to the WrestleMania 28 encounter and WWE were quite rightly heavily criticised for delivering a once in a lifetime match up a second time. Thankfully all hope isn't lost when it comes to Punk made event or WrestleMania event and now that he's back in WWE, it's likely that if he's fit and healthy he'll be in the main event slot come WrestleMania 41 in 2025 but they have it folks, matches that deserve to main event WrestleMania.
