8 times a non-championship match headlined WrestleMania

#4. Lawrence Taylor defeated Bam Bam Bigelow - 1995

Bam Bam Bigelow (w/Tatanka) lost a tag-team tournament at the Royal Rumble in 1995. Bigelow vented his frustration on NFL legend Lawrence Taylor by pushing him.

A match between the two superstars was booked for that year's WrestleMania, with Pat Patterson as the guest referee. Although Shawn Michaels had a match against Diesel for the WWF title that night, it was Bigelow and Taylor that headlined the event.

Eventually, Lawrence Taylor emerged triumphant in the main event of WrestleMania 11.

#3. Hulk Hogan defeated Sid Justice - 1992

WrestleMania 8 featured Hulk Hogan taking on Sid Justice in the main event. However, the original plans were a bit different.

WWE had originally planned to book Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair in a dream match, and their interaction was even announced by WWF President Jack Tunney.

However, the plans were changed and Flair instead squared off against Randy Savage while Hogan fought Sid Justice. Despite not holding the world title, Hogan took the main event and emerged victorious against Justice.

The Hulkster then became the victim of a post-match attack by Justice and Papa Shango, but was saved by a returning Ultimate Warrior.
