There are many different answers to the question of when the modern era of WWE truly began. For some, it began when Hulk Hogan lost the WWF Championship to Andre The Giant in 1984. For others, it began after the Attitude Era.

However, WWE.com defines it as 2005 onwards. However, for argument's sake, let's consider the late 1990s as the start of the modern era. At that time, the three most important superstars to the company have been 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, The Rock, and John Cena.

Steve Austin has 3 WrestleMania main events to his name (1998, 1999, 2001) and his greatest rival The Rock has 5 (1999, 2000, 2001, 2012, 2013), which is the same as John Cena (2006, 2007, 2011, 2012, 2013). As you can see, both The Rock and Cena have been in 3 consecutive WrestleMania main events.

There are only two men who have had more - Hulk Hogan and Roman Reigns. While Hogan had five consecutive main events between 1989-1993 (with the last one being a 22-second match), no superstar in the modern era has as many consecutive main events as Roman Reigns - who main event four from WrestleMania 31 to WrestleMania 34.
