It's a very select few that have participated in matches for a World title, a Tag Team title, and either the Intercontinental or United States belt at WrestleMania. In fact, only eight men overall have taken part in matches for each accepted part of a triple crown. However, only Daniel Bryan has won matches for all three on the pay-per-view.

Bryan's victory in the seven-man Intercontinental ladder match at WrestleMania 31 fulfilled the hat trick. One year earlier, Bryan won the WWE Championship in the main event of 30, which itself took place a year after he and Kane successfully defended the Tag Team belts against Dolph Ziggler and Big E.

It should be noted that if the pre-show were to count, The Miz would have been the first to pull this off. He and Big Show retained the Tag belts at 26, and he held on to the WWE Championship against John Cena at 27. However, his Intercontinental title win over Wade Barrett was on the pre-show of 29.
