5 times a WWE/WCW PPV finished with two main-event debutants

#3 Junkyard Dog v Randy Savage (1985)

Macho — The Wrestling Classic was WWE's second PPV event

The WrestleMania feud between Roddy Piper and World Heavyweight champion Hulk Hogan culminated at The Wrestling Classic PPV, which took place in November 1985.

However, the main event of the show was occupied by the finalists of a 16-man tournament taking place on the night.

One spot in the final was filled by The Junkyard Dog, who defeated the Iron Shiek and Moondog Spot earlier in the show, while “Macho Man” Randy Savage had been victorious against Ivan Putski, Ricky Steamboat and The Dynamite Kid en route to the final.

In what would turn out to be his one and only WWE PPV main event, JYD was the eventual winner, defeating Savage via countout.
