5 things you didn't know about the WWE Championship

#3 There was no WWE Title match in the first WrestleMania

Main event match of that night

The first Wrestlemania happened in March 1985 at MSG, New York. Even though this pay-per-view wasn’t good as compared to shows of these days, it was everything for the WWE at that time.

The inaugural Wrestlemania was unique in its own way and there was no WWE title match in the event.

In that time, there was no Universal Championship in the company, and the WWE Championship was the biggest championship in the wrestling industry. Still, there was no match booked for it.

The main event match of the night was between Mr T and Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff. Hogan was the champion at that time, and because he was already fighting that night, the WWE didn’t book him in another match.

This was the only WrestleMania where WWE Championship match didn’t happen as now the company books a match for this title in every possible pay-per-view.
