5 WrestleMania's that should have had a different main event

#4 WrestleMania 16

It could have been so much simpler.

What Was The Main Event: Triple H vs The Rock vs Mick Foley vs The Big Show for the WWF Championship

What Should Have Main Evented: Triple H vs The Rock for the WWF Championship

WrestleMania 2000 got really complicated when it really did not have to. The story was simple. The Rock won the Royal Rumble match, although his feet touched the ground, and should have seamlessly moved into a one-on-one program with Triple H.

However, WWE changed it up instead. They added the Big Show and Mick Foley to the match, after their feuds with Rock and Triple H respectively coming to a head. And you thought that WrestleMania 35 was really frustrating and complicated!

Wait, it gets more convoluted. All four competitors had a member of the McMahon family in their corner, further raising the overbooked and dramatic nature of the storyline. Vince, Stephanie, Shane, and Linda all made their way to the main event of WrestleMania.

In the end, Vince turned his back on The Rock to align with Triple H and Stephanie. This could have been achieved even in a singles match between the Great One and the then-WWF Champion.

There was no need for the 'McMahon in Every Corner' theme, which took away from the quality and excitement of a WrestleMania which took place during one of WWE's best-ever years.
