There have been face vs. face main events in other years, but talk about your unlikely coincidences. The last four times that April 1 fell on a Sunday were in 1990, 2001, 2007, and 2012. It so happens that in each year, the stars aligned for two heroes to collide in each event's finale.

1990 was Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior, title for title. In 2001, Steve Austin did turn heel atthe match's conclusion, but before then, he and The Rock were heroic cornerstones duking it out. Six years later, John Cena defended the WWE Championship against Shawn Michaels. In 2012, Cena waged war with The Rock in a battle of icons.

The next April 1 Sunday will be in 2018 but, sadly, it's also Easter, and WrestleMania is never held on the holiday. The next Sunday of April Fools will be in 2029, in which 59-year-old babyface Triple H battles heroic nephew Declan McMahon for control of the company.
