All this and a whole lot more.

#9 WM don’t like Monday’s
Only one WrestleMania has ever been held on a Monday night. That honour went to Wrestlemania 2 in 1986.

#8 Most gimmicks

Wright made his WrestleMania debut in the Papa Shango gimmick and went on to appear as Kama, The Godfather and the Right To Censor version of his character - The Goodfather.
#7 Most WrestleMania losses
Triple H now holds the record for the most number of WrestleMania losses at 12. His latest loss came last year when he lost to Seth Rollins.
Can ‘The Game’ turn it around this year as he teams up with his wife Stephanie McMahon to face Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey.
#6 Consecutive WrestleMania matches and wins
The Undertaker holds the record for both the most number of consecutive WrestleMania matches and wins.
The Undertaker has won a record 21 WrestleMania matches in a row before the streak was famously broken by Brock Lesnar.
The Deadman also holds the record for most consecutive WrestleMania match which stands at 17.
#5 One night only
Yokozuna is the only WWE Superstar to have won and lost a title at the same WrestleMania (not counting the Hardcore Championship). The distinction came at WrestleMania 9, considered to be one of the worst WrestleManias of all-time.
Yokozuna won the title from Bret Hart before Hulk Hogan came out to avenge his friend. Hogan beat Yokozuna in under a minute to win the WWF Championship.
#4 Longest and shortest matches
The longest ever WrestleMania match was the classic between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XII. The Iron Man Match lasted 1 hour 1 min and 52 seconds. Shawn Michaels beat Bret Hart in sudden death overtime.
The shortest WrestleMania match came at WrestleMania 32 as The Rock beat Erick Rowan in 6 seconds.
#3 No title changes
Of all 33 WrestleMania to date, there has been only one Mania where no title has changed hands. That distinction goes to WrestleMania 27.
Surprisingly, there were only three title matches at WrestleMania 27. Only the WWE Championship, the WWE US Championship and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship were defended.
#2 Submission finishes
Believe it or not, matches ending in submission is not a common thing at WrestleMania. WrestleMania 20 was the first time a WrestleMania main-event ended in submission when Chris Benoit made Triple H tap to the Crippler Crossface.
As of date, only 20 WrestleMania matches have ended in submission. Could Asuka make it 21 tomorrow?
#1 John Cena
Regardless of where you stand on Cena, he’s a sure-fire first-ballot Hall Of Famer and one of the greatest of all time.
Cena holds the distinction of either challenging for a title or gone on last at every WrestleMania he’s competed in except for 2: WrestleMania 30 and last year when he teamed up with Nikki Bella to face The Miz and Maryse.
