5 most memorable Wrestlemania Moments of the 2010s

Wrestlemania is the biggest annual wrestling show in WWE. It is the time when the wrestlers and fans are equally excited to produce something grand and marvelous that will be long remembered. We have witnessed many big moments being created on the Show of Shows which will be cherished forever.

Even the management saves big matches for the April pay-per-view, like the debut of Ronda Rousey, the brief return of stars like The Undertaker, Rock, and Batista, as this is the time when they have the biggest audience, and the presence of this stars just makes the event more special.

Since its that time of the year when the Road to Wrestlemania is about to begin, let's look at some of the most memorable moments from the show in the recent past.

#5 The Heist of the Century (2015)

Seth Rollins with the 'Heist of the Century'

The match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31 got many fans excited as it was the encounter between two "Vince's guys". Brock was the man of big moments and was portrayed as an untouchable beast, and Roman was handpicked by Vince to be the next big thing in WWE.

Unlike their Wrestlemania 34 encounter, this match was really good, with Brock dominating most of the time, but Roman made a comeback by spearing The Beast Incarnate twice in a row. It seemed like Roman is going to triumph but the management had other plans.

While Roman was attempting another Superman Punch, Brock countered it for an F-5, which triggered the best moment of the entire night. Seth Rollins ran down the ramp to cash in his Money in the Bank contract, advancing this good match to an all-time great.

After a small sequence, Rollins hit a curb stomp on Roman for the victory - completing the 'heist of the century'.

#4 Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels (2010)

This was the best on-going feuds during Wrestlemania 26, and adding the 'Streak vs Career' stipulation just made it even more engaging. This was a match between two all-time legends, and WWE has still not been able to top this in retiring someone.

Undertaker and Michaels pointed that if booked properly, then two wrestlers who are past their prime can still pull out an almost 5-star match.

The build-up itself was splendid, with Shawn getting desperate for a rematch against the Deadman from Wrestlemania 25. In the process, he even cost him his World Heavyweight Championship and put his career on the line.

This was the last match of Shawn Michaels in WWE (not counting Crown Jewel) and it was perfect. There was no better way to give him a farewell other than this: letting Mr. Wrestlemania headline a Wrestlemania and by putting on a glorious show.

#3 Undertaker's Symbolic "Retirement" (2017)

After losing to Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 33, The Undertaker removed his coat, gloves, and hat, and placed them in the center of the ring as he left the arena. This gesture left the whole WWE Universe, in shock as no one expected this from the Deadman.

While many had been speculating about his retirement during that period, not many were prepared to let such a huge part of their childhoods go.

It was painfully obvious that age had crawled up on the 52-year-old phenom, whose perfect mark at wrestling’s biggest event had been defaced three years earlier by a defeat suffered at the hands of Brock Lesnar.

We now know that it didn't mean anything as he went on to have multiple matches in 2018 including a squash match against John Cena at Wrestlemania 34, but that sheer moment when Undertaker broke his character and thanked the entire stadium was both fascinating and emotional at the same time, and it gave fans goosebumps.

Not many remember the lackluster match between him and Reigns but this image is embedded in everyone's mind like their spouse's name.

#2 End of the Streak (2014)

This was more of a shocking moment as it was 22 years in the making. The Undertaker's streak was the greatest one time opportunity Vince had to instantly give any wrestler a big push, and he decided that Lesnar should be the one to tame the streak.

It makes sense, as he had recently returned to WWE and required a big win to cement himself as the top guy, and what could be bigger than beating Undertaker at Wrestlemania?

The match itself was below average, as Undertaker suffered a debilitating concussion. The in-ring action was never able to bounce back, resulting in a dull atmosphere that gave off an air of boredom.

But what shocked everybody was the bit when the referee smacked his hand on the canvas for the third count. Nobody could believe that Lesnar had ended the streak and it was unquestionably one of the most memorable moments.

#1 Daniel Bryan's Victory (2014)

Daniel Bryan's victory was indeed a special one as it was not just about him. That triumph belonged to everyone who took a stand against the company and was part of the huge public outrage that later on became the 'Yes Movement'. This showed Vince the power of his viewers and proved him that the fans are the real bookers.

WWE was not keen on giving Bryan their top championship because of his appearance and size. This obviously made everyone angry, as Daniel is loved by the WWE Universe and is one of the best technical wrestlers of all time.

Because of the massive support and public outrage, the management was forced to alter their plans and let Bryan win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 30 at the expense of Batista, who became the main villain in the storyline without doing anything. Something about that victory just gives a sense of satisfaction, and for once everything seemed right with WWE.
