5 historic WWE Wrestlemania main events that could headline 2021

#2 WWE Champion The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (Wrestlemania XV)

The long-standing rivalry between the hard-working employee and evil boss concluded WWE Wrestlemania XV. Reckless anti-hero Steve Austin, buoyed by the support of the spectators, defeated The Rock to win the WWE Championship.

WWE has tried to replicate the success of Stone Cold Steve Austin multiple times, with Daniel Bryan being the only superstar to find similar success.

The employee-employer relationship hardly reached a general betterment in 2021. Austin will remain a cheered anti-hero in today's hypothetical showdown, with The Rock's superb performance enhancing the atmosphere.

#1 The Rock vs. John Cena (Wrestlemania XXVIII)

Possibly the most anticipated Wrestlemania main event of the decade, The Rock's return battle against franchise player John Cena was chalked out a year in advance. The match more than delivered what it promised.

It was billed as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even in today's hypothetical situation, fans would flock to the arena to watch the two superstars in a battle to remember.

Of course, the company forgot its promise soon after. The duo fought again in the next edition of Wrestlemania, providing Cena with the elusive factory. The first match was phenomenal and remains a landmark Wrestlemania headliner with lasting appeal.
