On March 29, 2015, the night in which Rollins curb-stomped his way to the WWE Championship, WrestleMania sat two days away from its thirtieth birthday. That auspicious afternoon at Madison Square Garden was unquestionably one of the most important dates in WWE history, and the reigning WWE Champion 30 years later wasn't even alive for it.

Who would have guessed in 2010 as Tyler Black (born in 1986) warred with the likes of Austin Aries and Roderick Strong that the one-time Age of the Fall member would be responsible for this bit of history?

Since WrestleMania 31, others born after March 31, 1985 have held the WWE Championship, including Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, and Bray Wyatt. When we start getting champions that are younger than The Attitude Era, that'll be our collective cue to switch to high-fiber diets.
