For the first time in WrestleMania history, not only would two champions be going head to head with both titles on the line, but two face wrestlers would face each other in the main event. In a match built as the "Ultimate Challenge", the WWF Champion Hulk Hogan would defend his belt against the reigning Intercontinental Champion in the Ultimate Warrior. While Warrior had held the Intercontinental title for 216 days, Hogan had held the belt since beating Savage at WrestleMania V the previous year.

During the match itself, Hogan and Warrior both had periods of having the upper hand as they traded blows. During the match itself. Hogan would drop down while Warrior was running the ropes resulting in Warrior knocking down the referee. Both Hogan and Warrior would pin each other while the referee was down and unable to count the pin. After they got up Hogan hit Warrior with a Big Boot and set him up for the Atomic Leg Drop.

The Ultimate Warrior would move out of the way of Hogan's leg drop and then hit a fallen Hogan with a splash for the win. After the bell rang Hogan rolled out of the ring to retrieve his WWF belt and handed it to Warrior as a way of handing over the mantle.
