What If WWE WrestleMania Was Always 2 Nights?

35. WrestleMania 1

An important note to set is that it isn't fair to fantasy book matches that aren't on the cards with the assumption WWE would have made a better lineup if they were scheduling things out for two nights. Going down that rabbit hole just creates problems of what these new matches conjured up out of thin air would have been, and anyone's thoughts could be different.

With that in mind, the first WrestleMania doesn't have a strong card worth of options to pick from by modern standards.

For example, the Intercontinental Championship match is just Junkyard Dog beating Greg Valentine by count-out. Andre the Giant puts his career on the line against Big John Studd in a $15,000 Body Slam Challenge, but that would be functionally odd for a main event.

Thankfully, Wendi Richter beating Leilani Kai for the WWF Women's Championship checks off a lot of boxes for the WrestleMania I pick.

While it's hard to imagine WWE would have been so kind to the women's division back then as to give it the first night's main event, it is still the match that went second-to-last, a big title change for the women's top title, and it featured Cyndi Lauper, whose celebrity involvement helped create this event in the first place.
