While talking about WrestleMania, there aren't many WWE Superstars who are more experienced in performing at the Show of Shows than Triple H. The Game has participated in 23 WrestleManias in his illustrious career. Out of these 23 'Mania matches, Triple H picked up victories on 10 occasions.

Some of his WrestleMania bouts failed to live up to the hype, while some exceeded expectations. However, Triple H's best match at the event has to be his WrestleMania 28 encounter against The Undertaker.

The match was personal and included some of the best storytelling of all time. The Game wanted to avenge the loss of his best friend, Shawn Michaels, who had to retire after losing to the Undertaker. It was Triple H's second consecutive attempt at breaking the streak.

The match was a Hell In a Cell match, with Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee. In the final moments of the contest, both Triple H and Shawn Michaels performed their respective finishers on The Undertaker.

Triple H pinned The Deadman immediately, while Shawn Michaels made the fastest count possible. But The Undertaker managed to break the three count in one of the most shocking kick-outs of all time.

Triple H fought with all his heart and brought the fight to The Phenom, However, he wasn't able to kick out after The Undertaker spiked him with a Tombstone Piledriver. The Undertaker came out victorious and extended his streak to 20-0. The three Superstars then hugged each other at the ramp and signaled the end of an era in one of the most iconic WrestleMania visuals of all time.


#3 Roman Reigns: Beating The Undertaker at WrestleMania, WrestleMania 33

Since the beginning of his push as a singles Superstar, WWE has always had top plans for Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. In the initial years of his push, Roman Reigns was certainly not a fan favorite. People didn't want to see Reigns as a top Superstar, but Vince Mcmahon kept pushing him as the face of the company. And it is quite safe to say that it is paying off well now.

Reigns have always been a part of high-profile matches at the Show of Shows. He has competed in seven WrestleManias until now and has faced top Superstars like Kane, Randy Orton, The Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar. Roman Reigns has also main-evented the show four times in a row.

So far, Roman Reigns' biggest victory at WrestleMania is against The Undertaker. At WrestleMania 33, Roman Reigns became only the second Superstar in WWE history to pin The Phenom at the grand event. He also temporarily retired 'Taker with his victory.

The significance of this victory got reduced a bit, as The Undertaker returned next year. Regardless, this was a massive achievement for Reigns, as it is almost impossible to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. And it's possible that Reigns could get an even bigger WrestleMania moment when he walks into this year's WrestleMania as The Tribal Chief and Universal Champion.
