Who is WWE’s Modern Day “Mr. WrestleMania?”

#2. Kevin Owens Has Also Been a Consistent Show Stealer at WrestleMania

Although his future is pretty uncertain, Kevin Owens still has plenty of memories at WrestleMania. KO walked into his first Mania as the Intercontinental Champion and defended the belt in a chaotic Ladder match. There was carnage all over the ringside as seven of WWE’s brightest talents put their body on the line to steal the show.

The following year at WrestleMania 33, Owens won the United States Championship from Chris Jericho in another strong match. At WrestleMania 34, KO teamed up with his longtime best friend, Sami Zayn, in a losing effort against Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon. Although the focus was on Bryan, it was still a good match.

Two years later, at WrestleMania 36, KO had a show-stealing performance in a No Disqualification match against Seth “Freakin” Rollins. The lack of a crowd hurt the quality of the match, but it was still a fun match. Nonetheless, his most memorable outing at Mania came in the main event of WrestleMania 38: Night One.

Stone Cold Steve Austin came out of retirement for one night for a No Holds Barred match with KO. This was more entertaining than it had any right to be and provided a feel-good moment for the packed crowd. The Prizefighter would main event the first night of Mania yet again at SoFi Stadium in 2023.

In an epic, 5-star Tag Team match, KO teamed up with Zayn to end The Usos’ record-setting Tag Title run. The victory set off a chain of events that would lead to the demise of the OG Bloodline. The Prizefighter has had several classics at The Show of Shows, making a strong case as the new version of Mr. WrestleMania.
