John Cena has one of the best win/loss records at WrestleMania. The Cenation leader made his first appearance at the event at WrestleMania 20. He faced the Big Show for the United States title at the event and came out victorious.

Some of his prominent matches at the show include his bouts against Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Batista, and The Undertaker. However, his best victory at The Showcase of the Immortals came when he defeated The Rock at WrestleMania 29.

Both of these Superstars were never supposed to face each other again after their WrestleMania 28 encounter. But John Cena won the Royal Rumble 2013 to have a chance of redemption against the Brahma Bull.

Not only did he became an 11-time World Champion, but he also accomplished the one thing he hadn't done before, beating The Rock clean at WrestleMania. It was also one of the most iconic passing of the torch moments in WWE history.


#5 Seth Rollins: Heist of the century, WrestleMania 31

Seth Rollins has an amazing record when it comes to WrestleMania. He has picked up six victories at the Grandest Stage while competing against Superstars like Triple H, Finn Balor, Roman Reigns, and Brock Lesnar.

But it's easy to pick Seth Rollins' ultimate WrestleMania moment. While Rollins has also defeated the Superstars like Brock Lesnar and Triple H at 'Mania, none of those events could surpass the unexpected 'heist of the century' that Rollins pulled off at WrestleMania 31.

At WrestleMania 31, Roman Reigns challenged the Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship. The match was brutal and exhausted both of the Superstars. After going back and forth for almost half an hour, both of the Superstars laid down on the mat.

All of a sudden, Seth Rollins's music hit, and he came running down the ramp to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase.

Rollins went straight after Brock Lesnar but failed to pin him. He then smashed Roman Reigns' head into the mat with a Curb Stomp and pinned his former Shield teammate to become the new WWE Champion. It was a brilliant move by Seth Rollins, which led to probably the greatest Money In The Bank cash-in of all time.
