10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 6 Facts

3. All Four April 1 WrestleManias Had A Face Vs Face Main Event

Coincidence? Hogan vs. Warrior was the first face vs. face main event in WrestleMania history. WrestleMania 6 happened to be the first April Fools Day WrestleMania, and there have been three since then. Each one has ended with a face vs. face battle.

In 2001, WrestleMania X7 concluded with The Rock vs. Steve Austin, although Austin did turn heel in the closing minutes. Six years later, WrestleMania 23 was headlined by John Cena and Shawn Michaels for the WWE Championship. The most recent example was WrestleMania 28, where John Cena and The Rock had their historic "Once In A Lifetime" clash.

April 1 is a Sunday next year, but cannot have a WrestleMania due to Easter falling on that date. There's still a chance that on April 1, 2035, we'll see WrestleMania 51 end with a babyface battle pitting heroic Declan McMahon against 65-year-old Triple H, by now "revered" as the greatest WWE star ever.

But that's just petty conjecture...
