10 Best Non-World Title Title Matches In WWE WrestleMania History

10. Intercontinental Title Ladder Match - WrestleMania 31

There was a lot of negativity heading into WrestleMania 31. With audiences rejecting Roman Reigns’ push as the top babyface main eventer, it was looking all set to be a poorly received 'Mania. However, as we all know the show delivered massively, and went down as one of the best WrestleManias ever. While almost every match on the card was excellent, it was the opener that set the tone.

Even in the lead-up, the Intercontinental Title feud was one of the few things fans were appreciating on the Road to WrestleMania. Bad News Barrett was the reigning champion who had been feuding with Dean Ambrose. BNB being the dastardly heel he is, stole a win from the Lunatic Fringe and retained. But, Ambrose wouldn’t give up.

This subsequently drew in Daniel Bryan, Luke Harper (remember him?), Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth and Stardust (remember him!!?). The final blow-off, was to be a ladder match for the title at the big show.

The match for its part was a car-crash. We had suplexes off the structures, Ambrose being driven straight through one and a head-butt-off at the top of the ladders between Bryan and Zigler to decide the winner.
