'''WrestleMania''' is a [[professional wrestling]] event held annually between mid-March and mid-April by the American company [[WWE]], the world's largest [[professional wrestling promotion]]. Since [[WrestleMania I|premiering in 1985]], 41 events have been held, with its most recent [[WrestleMania 41|41st edition]] occurring at [[Allegiant Stadium]] in [[Paradise, Nevada]], on April 19 and 20, 2025. WrestleMania was WWE's first [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) produced and is the most successful annual professional wrestling event in history. The event has been broadcast through traditional PPV since 1985 and has been available via [[livestreaming]] since [[WrestleMania XXX]] in 2014, which was WWE's first major event available through this medium. WrestleMania was conceptualized by former WWE executive chairman [[Vince McMahon]] and named by ring announcer and [[WWE Hall of Fame]]r [[Howard Finkel]]. It is the company's flagship event and along with [[Royal Rumble]], [[SummerSlam]], [[Survivor Series]], and [[WWE Money in the Bank|Money in the Bank]], it is referred to as one of the "Big Five", WWE's five biggest annual events of the year.

The widespread success of WrestleMania helped transform professional wrestling. The annual event has facilitated the rise to stardom of several top WWE wrestlers. Celebrities such as [[Aretha Franklin]], [[Cyndi Lauper]], [[Muhammad Ali]], [[Mr. T]], [[Mike Tyson]], [[Donald Trump]], [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]], [[Snoop Dogg]], [[Rob Gronkowski]], [[Shaquille O'Neal]], [[Ronda Rousey]], and [[Bad Bunny]], among many others, have made special appearances within the events, with some participating in matches. Rousey herself would become a wrestler for WWE from 2018 to 2023 and was one of the three women to participate in the first women's WrestleMania main event match, which occurred at [[WrestleMania 35]] in 2019.

The [[WrestleMania I|first WrestleMania]] was held in [[Madison Square Garden]] in [[New York City, New York]]; the [[WrestleMania X|10th]] and [[WrestleMania XX|20th]] editions were also held there. [[WrestleMania III]] in the [[Detroit]] suburb of [[Pontiac, Michigan]], was the highest-attended indoor sports event in the world, with 93,173 fans in attendance. The record stood until February 14, 2010, when the [[2010 NBA All-Star Game]] broke the indoor sporting event record with an attendance of 108,713 at Cowboys Stadium, since renamed [[AT&T Stadium]], in [[Arlington, Texas]].<ref name="AP recap">{{Cite web |date=February 14, 2010 |title=East wins in front of biggest crowd to watch hoops game |url=https://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=300214032|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100218113431/https://espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=300214032 |archive-date=February 18, 2010 |access-date=February 15, 2010 |publisher=ESPN}}</ref> 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, although the company revealed that attendance figures are manipulated for marketing purposes through investor calls. All editions of the event thus far have been hosted in North American cities, with 39 in the [[United States]] and two in [[Canada]]. [[WrestleMania 43]] in 2027 will be held in [[Riyadh]], [[Saudi Arabia]], which will be the first WrestleMania to emanate from outside of North America.

The only WrestleMania in the event's history not to air [[Live television|live]] and be held [[Behind closed doors (sport)|without fans in attendance]] was [[WrestleMania 36]] in 2020 due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]; it was the first major professional wrestling event to be affected by the pandemic. It was also the first to be held across two nights, which subsequently became the standard format for the annual event. [[WrestleMania 37]] in 2021 was WWE's first event back with a live crowd, but at a reduced venue capacity before the company resumed live touring with full capacity crowds in July that year.

Most WrestleMania events have taken place in large stadiums in large cities, with some in sports arenas.

WrestleMania centers on the main event matches, primarily for the men's [[WWE Championship]]—and additional men's world titles, such as the previous [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE, 2002–2013)|World Heavyweight Championship]] (2003–2013), the [[WWE Universal Championship]] (since 2017), and the current [[World Heavyweight Championship (WWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] (since 2024)—as well as matches involving celebrities such as [[American football]]er [[Lawrence Taylor]] or actor [[Mr. T]]. Other WWE championships are also contested for, while the [[Card (sports)|match card]] also includes gimmick matches and matches involving personal feuds.

Since 1993, the winner of the annual [[Royal Rumble match]] receives a guaranteed world championship match at the same year's WrestleMania (except in 2016 in which the WWE World Heavyweight Championship was the prize of the match itself). With the introduction of the previous World Heavyweight Championship in 2002, the winner was also given the option to choose between it or the WWE Championship. The creation of the [[ECW (WWE brand)|ECW brand]] in June 2006 gave the Rumble winner a third option, the [[ECW Championship]]. This option was made available from 2007 until the brand was retired in 2010; however, the title was never chosen.<ref name="ecwtitle">{{Cite web |last=Hoffman |first=Brett |date=February 5, 2007 |title=Tickets punched for WrestleMania |url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/02052007/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120707182438/https://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/02052007 |archive-date=July 7, 2012 |access-date=December 5, 2007 |publisher=WWE}}</ref> The brand split ended in 2011 and the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships were unified in 2013, leaving the former as the only title to challenge for until the reintroduction of the brand split in 2016, which added the WWE Universal Championship as a choice. After it and the WWE Championship were unified as the [[Undisputed WWE Universal Championship]] at [[WrestleMania 38]] in 2022, the undisputed title became the only choice in 2023, but with the introduction of a new World Heavyweight Championship following that year's [[WrestleMania 39]], there is once again two choices: the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship. A women's Royal Rumble match was introduced in 2018, with the winner receiving the option of challenging for either the [[WWE Raw Women's Championship]] or [[WWE SmackDown Women's Championship]], which were renamed as the WWE Women's Championship and Women's World Championship, respectively, in June 2023. [[NXT (WWE brand)|NXT]]'s championships, the [[NXT Championship]] and [[NXT Women's Championship]], became additional choices in 2020, but were dropped as choices in 2022 after NXT reverted to its original status as WWE's [[Farm team|developmental brand]] in September 2021.

[[WrestleMania 21]] saw the introduction of the [[Money in the Bank ladder match]]. This match features six to ten participants and took place at six WrestleManias between 2005 and 2010 before becoming the headline match of its own [[pay-per-view]] event, [[WWE Money in the Bank|Money in the Bank]] which incorporated the use of two Money in the Bank ladder matches for both respective WWE brands, [[Raw (WWE brand)|Raw]] and [[SmackDown (WWE brand)|SmackDown]] (since 2017, two matches have been held at the titular event, but one each for the men and women, with participants divided between the brands). The participant who retrieves the briefcase suspended above the ring wins a contract, which guarantees a world title match at the time and place of the winner's choosing for up to one year, including the following year's WrestleMania. This lasted until 2010 when the Money in the Bank pay-per-view was introduced and thus the Money in the Bank ladder match was retired from WrestleMania.<ref name="MITB1">{{Cite web |date=March 30, 2008 |title=Results:Money in the Bank ladder match |url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/history/2008/matches/6464426/results/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100617035240/https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/history/2008/matches/6464426/results/ |archive-date=June 17, 2010 |access-date=May 23, 2008 |publisher=[[WWE]]}}</ref>

[[Forbes]] named WrestleMania one of the world's most valuable sports event brands from 2014 to 2019, ranking it sixth with a brand value of US$245 million in 2019 behind the [[Super Bowl]], [[Summer Olympics]], [[NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA Final Four]], the [[FIFA World Cup]], and the [[College Football Playoff]]s.<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=October 16, 2019 |title=The Forbes Fab 40: Puma Debuts On 2019 List Of The World's Most Valuable Sports Brands |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2019/10/16/the-forbes-fab-40-puma-debuts-on-2019-list-of-the-worlds-most-valuable-sports-brands/?sh=79efef21d356 |url-status=live |magazine=[[Forbes]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220127120331/https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikeozanian/2019/10/16/the-forbes-fab-40-puma-debuts-on-2019-list-of-the-worlds-most-valuable-sports-brands/?sh=79efef21d356 |archive-date=January 27, 2022 |access-date=October 16, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |date=October 24, 2017 |title=Forbes Fab 40 2017 |url=https://www.forbes.com/pictures/59e62ee431358e542c03d5be/6-wrestlemania/ |url-status=live |magazine=[[Forbes]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200601095401/https://www.forbes.com/pictures/59e62ee431358e542c03d5be/6-wrestlemania/ |archive-date=June 1, 2020 |access-date=October 24, 2017}}</ref>

===Commentators===
[[File:Vince McMahon, 1986.png|thumb|upright|Promoter [[Vince McMahon]] is credited with creating WrestleMania and served as a commentator for several events.]]
For five of the first six WrestleManias, [[Gorilla Monsoon]] and [[Jesse Ventura]] served as the color commentators (the exception being WrestleMania 2, which was split among three venues and had Monsoon, Ventura, and Vince McMahon split up with guest commentators), while [[Bobby Heenan]], [[Gene Okerlund]], [[Lord Alfred Hayes]], and others filled guest roles. For WrestleMania VII and VIII, Monsoon and Heenan provided color commentary. In the mid to late 1990s, the commentator team comprised [[Vince McMahon]], [[Jim Ross]], and [[Jerry Lawler]]. Since the brand separation in 2002, matches from the Raw brand have been called by Ross and Lawler; the SmackDown matches called by [[Michael Cole (wrestling)|Michael Cole]], [[Tazz]], [[John Layfield|John "Bradshaw" Layfield]], and [[Jonathan Coachman]], and from 2006 to 2010, the ECW matches called by [[Joey Styles]] and Tazz. At WrestleMania 25, the first three-man inter-brand commentary team since the brand extension was introduced was used and consisted of Jim Ross, Jerry "The King" Lawler, and [[Michael Cole (wrestling)|Michael Cole]]. The following year at WrestleMania XXVI, Jim Ross was replaced by [[Matt Striker]]. At WrestleMania XXVII, Jim Ross returned to commentate, along with [[Josh Mathews]] and new ''SmackDown'' color commentator [[Booker T (wrestler)|Booker T]]; the sudden change of commentary was due to a singles match between regular commentators Michael Cole and Lawler. [[Howard Finkel]], who is credited with coming up with the name "WrestleMania" in 1984,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Howard Finkel – R.A.W. March 28, 2011 |url=https://radio.thescore.com/episodes/howard-finkel-raw-03282011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120729100940/https://radio.thescore.com/episodes/howard-finkel-raw-03282011 |archive-date=July 29, 2012}}</ref> has served as the long-standing ring-announcer and has appeared at every event except [[WrestleMania 33]], but since the introduction of the WWE brand extension, [[Lilian Garcia]], [[Tony Chimel]], and [[Justin Roberts]] took over as announcers for their respective brand's matches. Four French commentators were at ringside: Jean Brassard and [[Raymond Rougeau]] ([[WrestleMania 13]]), Phillippe Chéreau, and Christophe Agius ([[WrestleMania XXX]], [[WrestleMania 31]], [[WrestleMania 32]], and [[WrestleMania 33]]).

The World Wrestling Federation staged the first WrestleMania on March 31, 1985, at [[Madison Square Garden]] in New York City. The main event was a tag-team match between WWF World Heavyweight Champion [[Hulk Hogan]] and [[Mr. T]], accompanied by [[Jimmy Snuka]] against the team of [[Roddy Piper]] and [[Paul Orndorff]], who were accompanied by [[Bob Orton Jr.|Cowboy Bob Orton]]. The financial and critical success of the event secured the company's status as the most successful professional wrestling promotion in the United States, rising above competitors such as the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] and [[American Wrestling Association]]. In attendance were business celebrity Sy Sperling and broadcasting executive Tony D'Angelo. WrestleMania 2 was held the following year and took place in three venues across the country. The [[Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum]] in [[Uniondale, New York]], the Rosemont Horizon (now [[Allstate Arena]]) in the [[Chicago]] suburb of [[Rosemont, Illinois]], and the [[Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena]] in Los Angeles. They each featured multiple matches that led up to the main event; this saw WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan defeat [[King Kong Bundy]] in a [[Steel Cage match]].

A world indoor attendance-record of 93,173 fans was set at WrestleMania III, which was also the largest paying attendance in the [[history of professional wrestling]] at the time. The event is widely considered to be the pinnacle of the [[1980s professional wrestling boom|1980s wrestling boom]]. To make certain that every seat in the [[Pontiac Silverdome]] would be filled, WWF decided to exclude the entire state of Michigan from [[pay-per-view]] access to the event, which made attending the event the only way for fans in Michigan to see it.<ref name="A Hot Ticket">{{Cite web |title=WrestleMania III remembered |url=https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/exclusives/wmiiirememberedp1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310162445/https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/exclusives/wmiiirememberedp1 <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date=March 10, 2007 |access-date=March 8, 2007}}</ref> The event featured Hulk Hogan defending the WWF World Heavyweight Championship against [[André the Giant]] and the [[WWE Intercontinental Championship|WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship]] match between [[Randy Savage|"Macho Man" Randy Savage]] and [[Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat]]. The match between Savage and Steamboat would go on to be regarded as one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history and is acknowledged by many (including Vince McMahon) as having "stolen the show".

WrestleMania IV was held at the [[Atlantic City Convention Hall]] in [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]] (though on the broadcast it was billed as being held in the [[Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino|Trump Plaza]] because the adjacent [[casino]] hotel was the event's primary sponsor). The event was an all-tournament event to crown a new WWF World Heavyweight Champion, with four non-tournament matches to fill between the gaps in the tournament rounds. The second round of the tournament featured a rematch of the previous year's main event between Hulk Hogan and André the Giant while Randy Savage went on to defeat [[Ted DiBiase]] in the finals to win the championship.

The next event, WrestleMania V, returned the event to Atlantic City, in which Hulk Hogan defeated Randy Savage for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship, which Savage had won the previous year. To date, this is the only time consecutive WrestleManias were held in the same venue. The event also saw the WrestleMania in-ring debut of [[Shawn Michaels]], who would later go on to earn the moniker "Mr. WrestleMania".

The first time WrestleMania took place outside of the United States was WrestleMania VI, which was held at the SkyDome (now [[Rogers Centre]]) in [[Toronto, Ontario, Canada]]. In the main event match, [[The Ultimate Warrior]] won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship from Hulk Hogan. The following year, the event returned to the United States for WrestleMania VII, which was originally scheduled to be held at the outdoors [[Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum]]. The event was moved to the adjacent indoors Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena after poor ticket sales, sold on television as being for security reasons related to the [[Gulf War]] and [[Sgt. Slaughter]]'s storyline defection to [[Iraq]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Duenas |first=Gavin |date=March 13, 2014 |title=Wrestlemania 7 |work=Wrestle Talk TV |url=https://www.wrestletalk.tv/articles/20140314-Wrestlemania-7-Hulk-Hogan-Sgt-Slaughter/ |url-status=dead |access-date=February 8, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201043136/https://www.wrestletalk.tv/articles/20140314-Wrestlemania-7-Hulk-Hogan-Sgt-Slaughter/ |archive-date=December 1, 2017}}</ref> The event saw Hulk Hogan face defending champion Sgt.

WrestleMania IX was the first WrestleMania held at an outdoor venue. It was also the first and only time in WrestleMania history that the WWF World Heavyweight Championship switched twice. Yokozuna defeated Bret Hart to become the WWF World Heavyweight Champion, only to lose it to Hulk Hogan in an impromptu match. WrestleMania X saw the event's return to Madison Square Garden. The event featured [[Owen Hart]] defeating his elder brother Bret; a [[ladder match]] for the WWF Intercontinental Championship also headlined, in which [[Scott Hall|Razor Ramon]] defeated [[Shawn Michaels]]. Bret having been defeated earlier won the WWF World Heavyweight Championship from Yokozuna in the main event. Bret is the first wrestler in WrestleMania history to lose his first match and come back to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in the main event. After failing to capture the title from [[Kevin Nash|Diesel]] at WrestleMania XI, Michaels defeated Bret Hart to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in a 60-minute [[Iron Man match]] at WrestleMania XII. The match was widely praised. The event also saw the return of the Ultimate Warrior, who defeated [[Triple H|Hunter Hearst Helmsley]] (later known as Triple H) in the latter's WrestleMania debut.

At [[WrestleMania 13]], a [[Professional wrestling#Submission|submission match]] pitted Bret Hart and [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] against one another, and The Undertaker defeated Sycho Sid for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in the main event. The match between Hart and Austin is considered by many fans as one of the best professional wrestling matches of all time and has been voted by [[IGN]] as the greatest match in WrestleMania history, and was number 1 among their list of top 20 WrestleMania matches of all time.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Robinson |first=Jon |date=June 16, 2012 |title=Top 20 Matches in Wrestlemania History |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/03/23/top-20-matches-in-wrestlemania-history?page=20 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210425045401/https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/03/23/top-20-matches-in-wrestlemania-history?page=20 |archive-date=April 25, 2021 |access-date=July 12, 2021 |website=IGN}}</ref> Various other sources also names the match as the greatest WrestleMania match of all time.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 31, 2017 |title=The 10 Best WrestleMania Matches in History |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/03/the-10-best-wrestlemania-matches-in-history.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190613215712/https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/03/the-10-best-wrestlemania-matches-in-history.html |archive-date=June 13, 2019 |access-date=July 12, 2021 |website=Paste}}</ref>

At [[WrestleMania XIV]], Austin defeated Shawn Michaels to become the new WWF World Heavyweight Champion in a match that featured [[Mike Tyson]] serving as the special enforcer. Although Tyson had been aligned with Michaels and his [[Professional wrestling stable|stable]] [[D-Generation X]], Tyson revealed to have been aligned with Austin all along as he personally counted the pinfall and declared Austin the winner. The Undertaker and [[Kane (wrestler)|Kane]] fought for the first time at this event where The Undertaker won. The following year at [[WrestleMania XV]], Austin defeated [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] to regain the WWF Championship. The event featured the first of three encounters at WrestleMania between Austin and The Rock in a rivalry of the two most prominent and popular stars of the Attitude Era.

[[WrestleMania 2000]] featured the first-ever Triangle Ladder match for the [[World Tag Team Championship (WWE)|WWF Tag Team Championship]], involving [[The Hardy Boyz]] ([[Jeff Hardy]] and [[Matt Hardy]]), [[The Dudley Boyz]] ([[Bubba Ray Dudley]] and [[D-Von Dudley]]), and [[Edge and Christian]]. The main event featured WWF Champion Triple H successfully defend his title in a fatal four-way match against The Rock, [[Big Show]], and [[Mick Foley]]. This match was billed as having 'a McMahon in every corner' as Triple H was accompanied by [[Stephanie McMahon]], The Rock by Vince McMahon, Big Show by [[Shane McMahon]], and Mick Foley by [[Linda McMahon]].

At [[WrestleMania X-Seven]], Stone Cold defeated The Rock and regained the WWF Championship, aligning himself with his former nemesis Vince McMahon in the process. The event also featured Vince and Shane McMahon in a [[Street Fight match|Street Fight]], while Edge and Christian won the WWF Tag Team Championship against the Hardy Boyz and Dudley Boyz in the second [[Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match]]. The event was the pinnacle of the 1990s wrestling boom. It was also the first WrestleMania held after the dissolution and WWF's subsequent purchase of the company's rival, [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), and the end of the [[Monday Night War]]. The event was highly praised. In 2013, WWE released a list of their "15 best pay-per-views ever", with WrestleMania X-Seven ranked at number one.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/classics/15-best-pay-per-views/page-17|author=Clapp, John and Bobby Melok|publisher=WWE|access-date=January 23, 2014|date=September 11, 2013|title=The 15 best pay-per-views ever}}</ref>

[[WrestleMania X8]] was the last WrestleMania to be produced under the WWF name, and featured Triple H defeating [[Chris Jericho]] to win the [[WWE Championship|Undisputed WWF Championship]]. Austin, The Rock, and The Undertaker defeated Scott Hall, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair respectively, all of whom had rejoined the company after their stints with WCW. Also, [[Rob Van Dam]] won his first [[WWE Intercontinental Championship|Intercontinental Championship]] in his WrestleMania debut.

[[WrestleMania XIX]], which was the first after the company was renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), saw Stone Cold's last match, as he faced The Rock for a third time at WrestleMania, ending their long-running feud. Additionally, Hulk Hogan defeated Vince McMahon and [[Shawn Michaels]] participated in his first WrestleMania match in five years, defeating [[Chris Jericho]].

WWE celebrated the 20th edition of WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden with [[WrestleMania XX]]. The event featured The Undertaker (who returned to his Deadman persona) defeating the unmasked Kane in their second encounter and the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship victories of [[Eddie Guerrero]] and [[Chris Benoit]], respectively, with Guerrero defeating Kurt Angle to retain the WWE Championship and Benoit defeating Triple H and Shawn Michaels to win the World Heavyweight Championship. The event also featured the [[Rock 'n' Sock Connection]] (The Rock and Mick Foley) versus [[Evolution (professional wrestling)|Evolution]] ([[Dave Bautista|Batista]], [[Randy Orton]], and Ric Flair) in a 2-on-3 handicap match, which was The Rock's last match for over seven years, as well as Stone Cold as the guest referee in an inter-promotional singles match between the departing superstars Brock Lesnar (who would return to the company eight years later) and [[Bill Goldberg|Goldberg]] (who would return 12 years later). The [[WWE Hall of Fame]] was also reintroduced and became an annual induction show held the night before or week of WrestleMania.

At [[WrestleMania 21]], the concept of the Money in the Bank ladder match was introduced; a six-man [[ladder match]] that featured a briefcase suspended above the ring containing a contract that guaranteed the winning Raw brand participant a world title match at any time and place of their choosing within one year up to the next year's WrestleMania, in which [[Edge (wrestler)|Edge]] went on to win this match. In the main events, the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship passed on to [[John Cena]] and [[Dave Bautista|Batista]], respectively, by defeating John "Bradshaw" Layfield and Triple H in their respective matches. Eddie Guerrero's last WrestleMania match took place at WrestleMania 21 against Rey Mysterio, before he died later that year. The event also featured the return of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin after a year-long hiatus, while Kurt Angle defeated Shawn Michaels.

The Money in the Bank ladder match was also held at [[WrestleMania 22]] as a six-man [[WWE brand extension|interpromotional]] match where the winner would get a world title match of their choosing, regardless of the brand they were on, with this match was won by Rob Van Dam. The main events of WrestleMania 22 featured [[Rey Mysterio]] win the World Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle and [[Randy Orton]] in a Triple Threat Match, and John Cena retained the WWE Championship against Triple H. Edge defeated Mick Foley in a Hardcore Rules match, where Edge infamously speared Foley off the ring apron through a flaming table at ringside. WrestleMania 22 also featured Shawn Michaels defeating Vince McMahon in a No Holds Barred match, Undertaker defeating [[Mark Henry]] in a casket match, and [[Mickie James]] defeat [[Trish Stratus]] to win the original [[WWE Women's Championship (1956–2010)|WWE Women's Championship]].

[[File:Shawn Michaels entarnce in WrestleMania 25.jpg|thumb|[[Shawn Michaels]] earned the moniker "Mr. WrestleMania".]]

At [[WrestleMania 23]], the Money in the Bank match expanded to include eight men and would include stars from the new ECW brand, which was won by [[Ken Anderson (wrestler)|Mr. Kennedy]]. John Cena would go on to retain his WWE Championship against Shawn Michaels, while The Undertaker would win the World Heavyweight Championship from Batista. Representing [[Donald Trump]], ECW World Champion [[Bobby Lashley]] defeated [[Umaga (wrestler)|Umaga]], who represented Vince McMahon, in a match billed as the "Battle of the Billionaires" and arbitrated by "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. This was also the last WrestleMania where the original WWE Women's Championship was defended when [[Melina Perez|Melina]] defeated [[Ashley Massaro]] in a lumberjills match.

At [[WrestleMania XXIV]], Shawn Michaels defeated Ric Flair in a retirement match, while the Money in the Bank ladder match included seven participants from all three brands which was won by [[CM Punk]], who would also win the match again at WrestleMania 25. The ECW Championship was defended for the only time at a WrestleMania event, when Kane emerged as the new champion in a record 8 seconds, while Randy Orton retained the WWE Championship and The Undertaker won the World Heavyweight Championship for the second consecutive year, defeating Edge. In an encounter that featured major media coverage, boxing world champion [[Floyd Mayweather Jr.]] defeated Big Show. The event was the second WrestleMania to be held at an outdoor venue. This was also the last WrestleMania event of the Ruthless Aggression era since later on in Mid-2008 the era ended as the WWE shifted towards a more "kid-friendly" product.

[[WrestleMania 25]] featured Chris Jericho defeating WWE Hall of Famers [[Roddy Piper]], [[Jimmy Snuka]], and [[Ricky Steamboat]] in a match that featured appearances by Ric Flair and actor [[Mickey Rourke]]. Shawn Michaels unsuccessfully attempted to hand The Undertaker his first defeat at a WrestleMania which received the 2009 Match of the Year award by both [[Pro Wrestling Illustrated]] and the [[Wrestling Observer Newsletter]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pwi-online.com/pages/PWIawards.html#awards-match-of-the-year |title=PWI Awards |website=pwi-online.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160121172943/https://www.pwi-online.com/pages/PWIawards.html |archive-date=January 21, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Meltzer|first=Dave|author-link=Dave Meltzer|date=January 26, 2011|title=Biggest issue of the year: The 2011 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards Issue|periodical=[[Wrestling Observer Newsletter]]|location=Campbell, CA|pages=1–40|issn=1083-9593}}</ref> The WWE Intercontinental Championship was defended at the event for the first time since WrestleMania X8 with Rey Mysterio defeated John "Bradshaw" Layfield.

At [[WrestleMania XXVI]], the professional wrestling career of Shawn Michaels came to an end as he faced The Undertaker in a highly acclaimed re-match of their encounter from the previous year. The event also featured John Cena winning the WWE Championship and Chris Jericho retaining the World Heavyweight Championship. Following Bret Hart's return to WWE in over twelve years since the [[Montreal Screwjob]] incident, Bret Hart defeated Vince McMahon in a [[No Holds Barred match]] with members of the [[Hart wrestling family]] present. The Money in the Bank ladder match included ten participants from both Raw and SmackDown (the ECW brand was retired in February), and this match was won by [[Jack Swagger]]. This was the last Money in the Bank ladder match to be held at a WrestleMania event due to the creation of the Money in the Bank pay-per-view in July that year.

This was the first WrestleMania in history in which both the World Heavyweight Champion and WWE Champion were able to successfully retain their titles. World Heavyweight Champion Edge defeated the challenger [[Alberto Del Rio]] in what would be Edge's last match before his retirement on April 11, and The Rock closed out the event saluting the fans after laying out John Cena and [[The Miz]] with his [[Finisher (wrestling)|signature move]], the [[Side Slam|Rock Bottom]], following Miz retaining the WWE Championship. This incident would set up the main event for the following year's WrestleMania.

[[WrestleMania XXVIII]] had three matches in the upper card.

[[WrestleMania 39]] took place on April 1 and 2, 2023, at [[SoFi Stadium]] in [[Inglewood, California]]—the original location of WrestleMania 37 before the pandemic forced it to be relocated.

In 1988, in association with [[The Trump Organization]], WWF prepared a small festival to celebrate WrestleMania IV, which included autograph signings, a brunch, and a 5K run; the event was held again in 1989 for WrestleMania V. In 1992, a festival was held the day of WrestleMania VIII which included a WWF superstar [[look-alike]] contest and a tournament for the ''[[WWF WrestleFest]]'' arcade game. In 1993, the WWF held a "WrestleMania Brunch" the day of WrestleMania IX at [[Caesars Palace]], during the course of which [[Lex Luger]] [[kayfabe|attacked]] [[Bret Hart]]. In 1994, WWF offered "Fan Fest" for the weekend of WrestleMania X, which allowed fans to step inside a WWF ring, participate in games, meet superstars, and purchase merchandise; the event was followed up in 1995 with another "Fan Fest" for WrestleMania XI. For WrestleMania XV, a pre-event concert known as the "WrestleMania Rage Party" (in reference to that year's theme, "The Ragin' Climax") was held at the [[Pennsylvania Convention Center]] and televised by USA Network in an hour-long special, featuring performances by [[Isaac Hayes]] and [[Big Pun]].<ref name="rage">{{Cite web |last=Oliver |first=Greg |title=WWF fans all in a Rage |url=https://slam.canoe.com/SlamWrestlingWM15/mar27_rage.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130115070207/https://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingWM15/mar27_rage.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 15, 2013 |access-date=September 16, 2008 |website=Slam!
