#5 Randy Orton - 15 matches

Randy Orton will battle Edge in a Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania 36

Two-time Royal Rumble winner Randy Orton has been an integral part of the last few WrestleManias. The Apex Predator has been a part of 15 matches at the event, winning 6 of them. His biggest victory came against Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 33, where he captured the WWE World Championship at the Grandest Stage of ‘Em All.

Orton created an iconic WrestleMania moment with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 31, where he delivered one of the best RKOs of his career. However, the fans bill the main event of WrestleMania XXX featuring The Viper, Batista and Daniel Bryan as the greatest WrestleMania match of his career.

The former WWE Champion has lost his last two WrestleMania matches. In 2018, he lost his United States Championship to Jinder Mahal in a fatal four-way match while last year, he came up short against AJ Styles. This year, he will look to end his losing streak when he takes on Edge in a Last Man Standing.

#4 Shawn Michaels - 17 matches

Mr. WrestleMania for a reason

Nicknamed as Mr. WrestleMania, Shawn Michaels's first 'Mania appearance was at the fifth edition of the grand event. He took part in a tag team match at WrestleMania 5 where he teamed up with Marty Jannetty to take on the team of Akeem and Big Boss Man.

Since then, Michaels has been a part of 17 WrestleMania matches but has emerged victorious in 6 of them. His overall record took a hit during his rivalry with The Undertaker. Michaels lost two WrestleMania matches on a trot against The Deadman, the second of which was a Streak vs Career match. The fact that he's called Mr. WrestleMania despite losing more matches than he's won just shows how great a Superstar he was.

Over the years, he has battled some of the greatest Superstars in Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena, Bret Hart, Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle at WrestleMania.

Despite sharing the ring with some of the best wrestlers in the world, Michaels' best match at WrestleMania was against Razor Ramon at WrestleMania X. The two men blew away MSG’s roof on 20th March 1994 in an unbelievable ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship.

#3 Kane - 20 Matches

The Big Red Monster was made for the big stages

One of the most popular Superstars in WWE history, Kane has taken part in 20 WrestleMania matches in his legendary career. The Big Red Machine has been a part of several multi-man bouts at the grandest stage. The best match of his WrestleMania career was the first-ever Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania XXI where he fought with Edge, Chris Jericho, Shelton Benjamin, Christian, and Chris Benoit.

Kane was also a part of a special attraction match against The Great Khali where two monsters looked to tear each other apart. The Devil's Favorite Demon also put on another brilliant show at WrestleMania XXVI when he took on Jack Swagger, Christian, Shelton Benjamin, Matt Hardy, Kofi Kingston, Drew McIntyre, Evan Bourne, MVP, and Dolph Ziggler in the final Money in the Bank ladder match held at WrestleMania.

Unfortunately, because of his commitments outside WWE, Kane will probably miss WrestleMania 36. As far as his singles match at WrestleMania is concerned, Kane’s best match came against Kurt Angle at WrestleMania X8.

#2 Triple H - 23 Matches

The King of Kings retired Batista at WrestleMania 35

Former WWE Champion Triple H had a disastrous WrestleMania debut as The Ultimate Warrior crushed then-Hunter Hearst Helmsley in about a minute and a half at WrestleMania XII. However, his in-ring performances improved as his career progressed. He put on a classic with Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XX, a match that received huge praise from the fans.

However, just like his best friend Shawn Michaels, Triple H's best matches have come against The Undertaker. The two legends battled each other at WrestleMania X-Seven, WrestleMania XXVII and XXVIII with The Deadman emerging victorious in all of them. Two years ago, The Cerebral Assassin was a part of an incredible mixed tag team match where he joined forces with his wife Stephanie McMahon to lock horns with Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey.

The list of Triple H's WrestleMania opponents features some big names like John Cena, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, Batista, Sting, Daniel Bryan, Booker T, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, and Brock Lesnar. His first WrestleMania victory came against Goldust at WrestleMania 13.

#1 The Undertaker - 26 Matches

The Dead Man will take part in his 27th WrestleMania match this year

The 36th edition of WrestleMania will see The Undertaker step inside the ring for the 27th time in his career. While Shawn Michaels is known as Mr. WrestleMania, The Undertaker’s name is synonymous with the grand event because of his incredible winning streak of 21 matches.

Some of the greatest Superstars in WWE history tried to end his streak, but none of the Superstars could do so until Brock Lesnar shocked the world by conquering it at WrestleMania XXX. A few years later, 'The Phenom suffered his second loss when Roman Reigns pinned him at WrestleMania 33. To date, these are the only two Superstars who can claim to have defeated The Phenom at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

The souls that The Undertaker has captured at WrestleMania include Triple H, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Kane, Big Show, Jimmy Snuka, Jake Roberts, Big Boss Man, Edge, CM Punk, Bray Wyatt, Diesel, Shane McMahon, Ric Flair, and several others. This list will get another marquee addition this year as The Undertaker is set to go one on one with 'The Phenomenal' AJ Styles.
