Their biggest PPV of the year, WrestleMania has quite remarkable streaks and records that go through its history.

3. In 2016, WrestleMania 32 surpassed WrestleMania III as the highest-attended professional wrestling event ever held in America, with 101,763 fans in attendance at AT&T Stadium.
4. All editions of the event have been hosted in North American cities, with 32 in the United States and 2 in Canada.
Moreover, WrestleMania has a few intriguing records that every die-hard WWE fan should know about. This list doesn't contain records like the longest winning streak (Undertaker's streak) because they are too popular to be unaware of for any fan.
Keeping that in mind, let us plunge into some of the lesser-known WrestleMania records!
#5 Most consecutive matches
This ought to be nothing unexpected but Undertaker's name will show up a great deal on this list.
Undertaker has the record for most back-to-back WrestleMania matches, a streak presently sitting at 18. He has wrestled at every Mania since its 17th edition, and has had matches with superstars like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Bray Wyatt, CM Punk, Mark Henry, and Kane.
#4 Most wins by a wrestler in one edition
While WrestleMania nowadays has a tendency to have marquee matchups and a few other multi-man challenges to stuff as many wrestlers on the card as humanly possible, we have seen incidents, where the same wrestler has fought more than once in a night.
Owing to one such incident, the record-holder for most wins at one WrestleMania is "Macho Man" Randy Savage, who won four matches at WrestleMania IV as a feature of the 14-man competition to crown the World Champion.
Now this is a record which will probably never be broken.
#2 Most losses
Goldust is 0-9 at Mania, losing every regular match he has had and being eliminated from each one of the four Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royals he was a part of.
Goldust's first misfortune came at WM XII, losing a 'Backstage Brawl' match with Roddy Piper.
Despite the fact that it is an unpleasant record, Goldust merits some credit for contending in WrestleMania PPVs separated by more than 20 years and still performing at his highest level.
#1 Most title losses by a wrestler in one edition
It's normal to suffer a title loss at WrestleMania. But what about a wrestler losing two titles at the same WrestleMania? That is something uncommon.
Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle is the only wrestler to lose two titles at the same WrestleMania. Angle was the then Euro-continental Champion, holding both the European and Intercontinental titles at the same time in 2000.
The current Raw GM confronted Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho for a triple threat match at WrestleMania 2000, in which the first pinfall was for the Intercontinental Championship and the second was for the European Championship. Funnily enough, Angle lost both the titles without even being pinned as Benoit pinned Jericho for the first title and the latter pinned the former for the second title.
