Top 3 amazing WrestleMania sets in WWE history

When Vince McMahon produced the first-ever WrestleMania, he had no idea what his brainchild would go on to become. Over the course of the past three decades, WrestleMania has turned into a global phenomenon, with thousands of fans flocking in from more than 60 nations every year to be a part of the pageantry.

WrestleMania has become a week-long festival, with the actual event lasting no less than a whopping seven hours! Even though the show of shows is known for giving us some of the most memorable moments and matches of all time, one can't help but notice the amount of effort put in by the WWE to build the WrestleMania sets.

WrestleMania 24's set was a trendsetter

This trend can be traced back to WrestleMania 24 that emanated from Orlando, Florida. The event took place inside an open stadium, complete with huge palm trees and a beach themed atmosphere in a cool visual.

Since then, WWE has outperformed themselves on multiple occasions, when it comes to building a stunning WrestleMania set. Let's take a look at three of the best WrestleMania sets of all time.

#3 WrestleMania 27

The shining blue WrestleMania sign was a piece of art

The actual event didn't impress the fans one bit, with one of the worst main events in the history of WrestleMania in John Cena vs The Miz, almost ending in a count out. Even the presence of The Great One, couldn't save this WrestleMania which was lackluster from start to finish. What did impress the fans though, was the set.

The Georgia Dome was bathed completely in blue, with a long ramp to the ring with the words "WrestleMania" flashing on it, in all its glory. To add to it, there was a giant curved WrestleMania sign that was hung on top of the entrance stage.

The set was designed to cater to superstars' ring entrances. Alberto Del Rio's car ascended onto the stage with a huge mansion in the background, making it look as if he had just come out of his luxurious residence! The cherry on the top was a giant cube that was hanging on top of the ring.

#2 WrestleMania 26

University of Phoenix Stadium, Arizona

This was the event that marked the end of Shawn Michaels' retirement match, and where Bret "The Hitman" Hart finally got his revenge on the WWE owner, Vince McMahon. The card was stacked from top to bottom, with top tier matches like Cena vs Batista for the WWE title, and a returning Edge challenging a deranged Chris Jericho for the World Heavyweight Championship.

A jam-packed University of Phoenix Stadium housed 71,000 roaring fans, as WWE left no stone unturned in designing the stage for the event. In addition to being one of the most exciting WrestleManias of the modern era, it ended up being hailed by fans for its over the top atmosphere.

The entrance set boasted a humongous pyramid-like structure, complete with a large LCD screen on top. A cylindrical screen was hanging on top of the ring, making for an incredibly stunning visual. Here's a look at a timelapse of the entire construction.

#1 WrestleMania 33

The amount of work done on this set was staggering

Was there any other event that could come even close to this?

WWE billed this event as being "The Ultimate Thrill Ride", with the set giving the feel of being in a theme park. The entrance set boasted a large rollercoaster structure, alongside a giant spinning sphere with the word 'WrestleMania' etched on it. WWE made sure to pump up the fans by giving a sneak peek of the stadium on their YouTube channel, days before the event.

On top of that, the entranceway was almost as long as a football field. The entrance ramp was fully digitalized, giving us one of the most hilarious visuals in recent history, as a sperm-like creature followed Randy Orton to the ring for his match against Bray Wyatt.

It was reported that WWE spent an astonishing amount of US$5 million on the set's design, and the finished product is hands down the greatest WrestleMania set of all time.
