6 – Kevin Owens v Steve Austin (WrestleMania 38; Night One)
The worst-kept secret in WWE was that the Kevin Owens show was going to turn into Steve Austin getting one last WrestleMania main event. Owens had spent weeks goading Austin into an appearance, and once those words became too much, the Kevin Owens show turned into one last gasp for Stone Cold.
WrestleMania’s night one main event was nothing but a brawl, but it was a very entertaining one. Owens and Austin took their show all over AT& T Stadium, exchanging stiff shots along the way. This was the perfect swan song for a man who never got a true WrestleMania send-off.
5 – The Bloodline v Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins (WrestleMania 40; Night One)
Cody Rhodes finishing his story was the program that dominated both nights of WrestleMania. In the first, we saw a tag team match of epic proportions. It was loaded with star power as we saw three current stars and one Final Boss battle to see who would control the narrative of the next night’s WWE Championship match.
The drama and story were the driving point of this contest. It wasn’t light on the action, but most of it was drawn out. Which really didn’t matter due to the sheer star power that was present. This match determined everything that mattered in night two of WrestleMania, and it was a great opening salvo to WrestleMania.
