EVERY WWE Star Who Opened AND Closed A WrestleMania 

John Cena & Randy Orton are the Goku & Vegeta of wrestling

Edge was in the 1st mania match twice. WrestleMania 23 he opened the show in the money in the bank match.

Crazy thing is this year's Mania will be the first time Cena has opened a Wrestlemania in almost 20 years. The first Mania he opened also happened to he his very first Mania. And the last one he opens might very well be his last

Orton also opened Mania 38 Night Two with Riddle in the Three Way Tag Match.

There are some interesting parallels in WrestleManias X, XX, and XXX: X and XXX involved someone wrestling in the opening match and closing match, with one losing the opening match and one winning the opening match. XX and XXX involved someone competing against more established main eventers in a triple threat main event. X and XX involved a well-respected (at the time anyway) Canadian technical wrestler finally winning the big one, even though Bret and Benoit both had actually been world champion before. The same mostly holds true for Daniel Bryan, though if he had been born a few miles north, he would've qualified as Canadian too. X featured someone winning the WWE/WWF Title. XX featured someone winning the World Title/Big Gold Belt. XXX featured someone winning BOTH those titles. If this trend continues, maybe Sami Zayn finally wins the Universal Title at WrestleMania XL. *fingers crossed*

One small note regarding Bret......he actually opened Mania twice.....he was in the 20 man battle royal that opened Mania 4, to go along with his match with Owen at 10. You could argue he had already main evented Mania before 10 also if you don't count Hogan's impromptu match with Yoko at 9, since Bret was positioned as the headliner against him before that.

I really respect how Cultaholic keeps coming out with original lists.

You forgot the time The Big Show also headlined Wrestlemania 36 against Drew McIntyre

You know I commend you for showing me the same thing over and over and keeping me entertained. I don't know if you're really talented or I'm just really really easily entertained.

Surprised that Undertaker is not on this list😮

You guys should do a top 10 list of the youngest wrestlers to Main event Wrestlemania

I read the title wrong and thought they meant who opened and closed in the same night

Cody will soon join this list along either Sami Zayn or Rhea Ripley (hopefully Sami 😭) Edit: I just realized the Usos would also enter this list if they main event night 1 (please)

Outta nowhere topic but I think a video about how good n entertaining Shawn Michaels was at being special guest referee would be a great next video and something different Idk how many times he was but everytime I seen him as one he steals the show

hard to believe that 19 yrs ago, Cena last opened for Mania in a US title match nonetheless

Edge also opened Wrestlemania 23 in the MITB ladder match

Forgot Charlotte opened WM36 - genuinely thought you were going to mention her appearance in HHH's entrance at WM30.

During a two night Wrestlemania, the first night ME is not closing the entire show, hence it should not be considered as the true Main Event.

We’re not going to mention the fact that Kevin Owens opened and closed Mania in the same stadium!

It's honestly sad when the crowd loses hype after they were hyped up for the match before

I was there LIVE when Seth opened the show against Lesnar and won the title. Incredible beginning to the show.

I attended the event, but I will never refer to Wrestlemania "x-seven." It's 17.

John Cena vs Austin Theory is going to be something

Take a sledgehammer to my Motorhead records? NEVER! Signed copies of Ace of Spades and Orgasmatron are proudly mounted in my office.

Adding to Hart and Bryan is that Bret Hart also opened Mania 4 in a Battle Royale and closed Mania 9 (technically) and 12 while Bryan opened Mania 28 and 31 plus headlined 37.

Edge also opened Wrestlemania 23

Great video🎉

Dbryan also won the IC title in WM 31 opener

Great list but sad that I didn't hear the Randell Keith song lol

John Cena first title win at WM 20 was damb underrated

Was really hoping for a “Randal Randal Keith,” song here…. 💔

good video

Does anybody know if trips and Orton are the only 2 superstars to both open and close any ppv or ple

also Bret Hart wrestle in an opening battle royal on WM 4 and Edge in the opening of WM 23 with orton in the MITB ladder match

Suggest for next video: Every opener and main event for each WrestleMania ranked from worst to best. Clearly it would be difficult in cases the opener sucks and the main event is so good, but I hope to see such a video just to grab the popcorn and see people rumbling in the comments lol

A starrcade version might be cool too? Vader main events one the year before he opened the next.

Edge was also part of the MITB match at Mania 23 that opened the show, just so you know.

Big Show also opened WM29!

I thought undertaker would be on this list lol but great video

In the last week ive been hearing about and seeing r truth and morrison vs show mis way more than any one person should

Daniel Bryan also opened mania 31 winning the Intercontinental championship in the ladder match

Edge opened 23 in Money in the Bank as did Orton

Back in 2008... CM Punk won the World Heavyweight Championship after cashing in his Money in the Bank contract and retained the World Heavyweight Championship against JBL (who actually won the World Heavyweight Title a few years back before becoming WWE Champion). It was a great moment in 2008 and that night was Punk's night!

20:13 no you're wrong Pacitti

The Miz deserves to got his name on this list

Possible Rhea Ripley can be added cuz she might be the main event of WM 39 Night 1 maybe.

I always enjoy these videos Cultholic, keep up the great work! Also this video made me realize, that if Rhea & Charlotte main event night 1 of WrestleMania 39. They will be the only singles match to both open and close at WrestleMania.

Thank For The Video 💞💗👍😍

Big Show technically main evented Wrestlemania 36 for the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre

I don't count the last match of the first night as a Main event in the current format.

Lucky us we now have main events throughout the entire matchcard. Main Events! Main Events for all!

Hey, never threaten Moterhead.

now cody is on the list

Also Daniel Bryan opened Wrestlemania 28 and 31 and closed 37

Rollins deserves an actual main event

Damn ... countdowns are getting though to make ... can't wait for next year's Top 10 Wrestlers who wear red trunks at Wrestlemania.

Randy Orton is best wrestler in WWE History 🔥

Stephanie Mcmahon was at 18 in main event and 30 in the opener

As much as fans like to say Seth was in the Mania Main Event at 31, i don’t think Seth is settled on that. Listening to interviews.

Tell me please anyone, that at 19:13 that the front of Yokozuna doesn't look like the back of Yokozuna, or any 74 year old man at the gym showers

I think you should include Cody Rhodes

No Randall Keith song??! Damn...

Roman reigns and triple h getting more main events than Rock and Austin has me exhausted 😂😮

The Queen making the list 🥹❤️ just happy to see a woman in this list. I still can’t believe women main evented manias 🤯❤️❤️

Edge opened WrestleMania 23 in The Money in the Bank Ladder Match

Chris benoit ??

You only do list where you can Rank Bret Hart at the top

Did he just call Mr Wrestlemania the Wrestlemania guy

Aj styles and kevin owens never main evented a wrestlemania. Wwe May say night 1 main events matter but they actually don’t.

Adam patchete you really are a cena hater Cena was just to great and you can’t handle him winning championships

Why is Seth so low on this list when he opened and closed the same Wrestlemania just like the top 2?

Don’t know why people never liked the Miz he was always entertaining to watch

Both Rhea Ripley and Cody Rhodes will be added to this list when this year's Wrestlemania concludes this weekend.

Mr. Wrewstlemania? anyone or just me...

Stardust was also in the IC title ladder match at WrestleMania 31.

Jericho was supposed to be in instead of mick foley not big show

Still sucks that Drew Mcintyre never got to win the WWE title in front of fans

Wasn’t Randy Orton vs John Cena vs Triple H for the WWE Championship the main event of WrestleMania 24?

Thumbnail? So Randy opened with few tats then went full scale after winning two titles to come out with two sleeves?

Fun fact:Roman has had 3 really good, 2 average and 3 REALLLY BAD matches in the main event.

Isn’t drew McIntyre a 2 time wwe champion? He lost it for a week to randy and then won it right back

Would Cody Rhodes join this list?

Well this video aged well 😂 Cody Rhodes is number 20

Like spike!

Orton won't open wrestlemania 38 with rk-bro?

Thanks 🙏

Big Show has done nothing in WM. Every year he’s either a PPV jobber, in a match with zero relevance, or in a joke match (like that sumo one).

Nice

I hope who ever is reading this will become successful in life my dream is to become a successful Rapper / RU-vidr one day

But Bryan is better than Hart.

🇵🇬🇵🇬,,,

man i really thought Lita would have been on this list . Shame she isn't company messed up there .

Bryan/Triple H is better than Bret/Owen. And Bryan is a better wrestler than Bret "The Bitterman" Hart ever was.

Can we be done with Roman reigns now pls

I wouldn't count night 1 headlines.

Orange Blonde Face of a company Huge in politics Very controversial Egotistical Wait is Hulk Hogan actually Trump?

hot take but charlotte isnt that great in the ring

Rko better than cena

Oppa Gangnam Style!

Daniel Bryan is better than Bret Hart
