WWE has been counting down the best WrestleMania matches in the 40-event history of the spring supershow. With Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin's WrestleMania 13 submission match getting the number two spot, despite being the inaugural "Immortal Moment" to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, meaning there is just one landmark WrestleMania match left in the canon to rank at number one.

WWE officially crowned the WrestleMania 25 clash between "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker as the greatest WrestleMania match of all time. The two WWE Hall of Famers' rematch from WrestleMania 26 was also included on the list, though much lower. Undertaker was victorious in both matches, regarded as some of the best and most-dramatic bouts in the former WWE Champion's 21-match winning streak, which was ended at WrestleMania 30.

Undertaker agreed with the anonymous body that determined the lineup, as he's often cited WrestleMania 25's contest as his best match in his long WrestleMania career. While the rematch would claim Michaels' wrestling career, Undertaker went on to wrestle for another decade, finally retiring after a Boneyard Match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36, which also made WWE's list.
