10 Greatest WWE Championship Matches In WrestleMania History

10 classic battles for the game's richest prize.

Sure seems like WWE hopes to put to use The Rock, Dean Ambrose, Ronda Rousey, the 82nd Airbourne, the 1991 Denver Broncos, and a partridge in a pear tree in order to get Roman Reigns over at WrestleMania 32. Not that any of it is going to change the minds of potentially 100,000 fans that have no interest in Reigns as master and ruler of WWE. Triple H could threaten to throw Bayley off of the videotron at AT&T Stadium, and if it meant that Reigns didn't win the belt, the consensus would be, "Well, she had a great run, and we'll certainly miss her." Regardless of how viciously the crowd skins "The Juggernaut" alive, Reigns vs. Helmsley has a chance to be a good match. It would be far from the first good WWE Championship match in WrestleMania's long history. But can it be as great as the matches that appear on this list? Only WWE Championship matches make the cut, so all battles for the 'Big Gold Belt' are excluded. Hulk Hogan's epic win over Andre the Giant at WrestleMania 3 was also left off the list, in spite of its historic weight. Tempting as it was to include it, I decided the list was only for matches that excelled at a high level of quality. Naturally, I do anticipate some vehement disagreements with my picks. That said, here, now, the ten best WWE Championship matches in WrestleMania history.
