WrestleMania is typically sold on its main event (or multiple headlining matches as of late), but for every John Cena vs. The Rock match and Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar saga that caps off the “Showcase of the Immortals,” there have been multiple great opening contests that are just as impactful.

Here is a breakdown of 10 of the best WrestleMania opening matches. There’s a lot to unpack in a short amount of time, so let’s jerk that curtain and get the show started.
