No, the Rock did not main-event every WrestleMania in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it was damn close. The People’s Champion was arguably the biggest star in the company in the early 2000s, and as such, he enjoyed top-flight matches at WrestleMania each year.

Rock would main-event WrestleManias 15, 2000 and X-Seven – three Manias in a row, two of which involved “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Rock also had a memorable Intercontinental Championship victory over Ken Shamrock at 14 and defeated Hollywood Hulk Hogan at Mania X-8.

The Great One would return in 2012 to main event two more WrestleManias (28 and 29), both against John Cena. And then there was his impromptu “match” against Erick Rowan at 32, when he set a record with a six-second victory.

Even if he lost all 10 Mania matches, the fact that he has closed out five WrestleManias would land the Rock very high on this list.
