First organized in 1985, WrestleMania is the longest-running PPV in WWE History. Having a legacy of about four decades, it is aptly known as The Grandest Stage of Them All. It is the night when legends are crowned and legacies are cemented.
The main event of WrestleMania is the pinnacle of achievement in WWE, a battleground reserved for the absolute elite. Irrespective of whether one wins or not, headlining the event is a big achievement in itself. On most occasions, the winner of the Royal Rumble match has gone on to headline the Grandest Stage of Them All. While there have been two main events every year since WrestleMania 36, getting to that spot is still as difficult as it gets. Throughout the years, a select group of superstars have stood above the rest, gracing the main event of WrestleMania multiple times.
