WrestleMania isn’t just WWE’s biggest annual spectacle — it’s the stage where legacies are cemented and history is made. Over the past decade, WrestleMania has delivered unforgettable classics, showcasing the best in-ring performances, larger-than-life storytelling, and moments that left fans speechless.
Here’s our list of the Top 5 WrestleMania Matches from the last 10 years (2015–2024):
5. Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes – WrestleMania 38 (Night 1, 2022)
Venue: AT&T Stadium
Match Type: Singles Match
Why It’s Ranked:
The long-rumored return of Cody Rhodes to WWE hit with the force of a thunderclap. The surprise reveal got a massive pop, but it was the match that followed that made this an instant classic. Cody and Seth tore the house down in a technically brilliant and emotionally charged bout. The chemistry was off the charts, and Cody’s win re-established him as a top-tier star in WWE.
4. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Ronda Rousey – WrestleMania 35 (2019)
Venue: MetLife Stadium
Match Type: Triple Threat for RAW & SmackDown Women’s Titles
Why It’s Ranked:
The first-ever women’s main event at WrestleMania had to deliver — and it did. While the finish was slightly controversial, the sheer magnitude of this moment for women’s wrestling cannot be understated. Becky’s “The Man” run culminated in a victory that felt like a movement fulfilled, and the match itself was a hard-hitting, emotionally driven war.
3. Bianca Belair vs. Sasha Banks – WrestleMania 37 (Night 1, 2021)
Venue: Raymond James Stadium
Match Type: Singles Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship
Why It’s Ranked:
Representation. Athleticism. Emotion. History. This match had it all. Belair and Banks became the first Black women to headline a WrestleMania, and they delivered one of the most electric matches in years. From the tearful staredown at the bell to Belair’s star-making win, this was a masterclass in how to elevate both competitors and the division.
2. The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles – WrestleMania 36 (2020)
Venue: Undisclosed (Cinematic Match)
Match Type: Boneyard Match
Why It’s Ranked:
The pandemic-era WrestleMania needed innovation, and it got it with the Boneyard Match. In what would become The Undertaker’s final bout, he and AJ Styles redefined what a “match” could be. Cinematic storytelling, character work, and a chilling atmosphere made this an unexpected gem — and a poetic farewell for The Deadman.
1. Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns – WrestleMania 40 (Night 2, 2024)
Venue: Lincoln Financial Field
Match Type: Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
Why It’s Ranked:
Two years of storytelling. Bloodline dominance. Cody’s quest to “finish the story.” WrestleMania 40 delivered one of the most emotionally satisfying conclusions in recent memory. The atmosphere was electric, the near-falls were heart-stopping, and the guest appearances (Cena, Taker, etc.) were pure fan service in the best way. Cody’s win didn’t just crown a new champ — it felt like a new era beginning.
Honorable Mentions
Kevin Owens vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin (WM38): A perfect nostalgia pop with unexpected physicality.
Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens vs. The Usos (WM39): Peak Bloodline storytelling.
Daniel Bryan vs. Batista vs. Randy Orton (WM30 – 2014): Technically outside the 10-year range but still iconic.
Final Thoughts
WrestleMania has continued to evolve, blending in-ring brilliance with long-form storytelling and pop culture spectacle. The last decade has brought us unforgettable moments — and if this trend continues, the next 10 years might top it all.
