WrestleMania is known as the “Grandest Stage of Them All,” where legacies are built and careers are defined. While The Undertaker’s iconic 21-0 undefeated streak remains the gold standard, several other WWE superstars have put together remarkable records that deserve recognition. Their performances under the brightest lights have contributed to making WrestleMania the spectacle it is today.
Whether through sheer dominance, unforgettable moments, or incredible match quality, these superstars showcased their ability to rise to the occasion when it mattered most. Fans still talk about their epic runs that helped shape the history of WWE’s biggest event. Here are four WWE legends whose WrestleMania streaks are among the best, proving that while Undertaker’s shadow looms large, others also carved their names in WrestleMania history.
1. Edge: An Impressive 5-0 Start That Defined His Rise

Known as the “Rated-R Superstar,” Edge always brought intensity, creativity, and unpredictability to his matches.
His WrestleMania journey began at WrestleMania 16, where he and Christian won the first-ever Triangle Ladder Match for the Tag Team Championships — a contest that set a new standard for high-risk tag team action. He would later participate in multiple iconic TLC matches, solidifying himself as one of the architects of the match type.
Edge’s streak included victories in multi-man matches and title bouts, showcasing his versatility. One of his most memorable moments came at WrestleMania 22, when he defeated Mick Foley in a brutal Hardcore Match — a performance that many credit for solidifying Edge as a main event-level heel.
Though his streak eventually ended at the hands of The Undertaker, Edge’s initial run at WrestleMania demonstrated his ability to seize the moment and deliver unforgettable matches. His record remains one of the most respected in WrestleMania history.
2. Rob Van Dam: Undefeated Record in Show-Stealing Matches

RVD’s WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania X8 saw him win the Intercontinental Championship in a memorable match against William Regal, showcasing his unique blend of martial arts and aerial moves. At WrestleMania XX, he teamed with Booker T to win a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team match for the World Tag Team Championship, proving his value both as a singles and tag competitor.
Perhaps one of RVD’s most notable wins came at WrestleMania 22 when he captured the Money in the Bank briefcase in a match filled with thrilling ladder spots and death-defying moments. This victory eventually led to his WWE Championship reign, making that WrestleMania moment even more significant in hindsight.
Though RVD was not always positioned in the main event scene, his perfect record and match quality make him one of the most successful and exciting performers in WrestleMania history. Fans still remember his performances for their creativity and energy.
3. John Cena: A Near-Perfect Run in His Prime Years

Although his full WrestleMania record contains both wins and losses, Cena’s first several years at the event were marked by dominance, as he racked up a streak of key victories that established him as WWE’s top star.
Cena’s WrestleMania journey kicked off at WrestleMania XX, where he defeated Big Show to win his first singles title — the United States Championship. This victory was the first step in a run that would see him main-event multiple WrestleManias. His early undefeated stretch included defeating JBL at WrestleMania 21 to win his first WWE Championship, officially beginning the “Cena Era.”
One of his most iconic moments was defeating Triple H at WrestleMania 22 in a highly competitive WWE Championship match, followed by another major title defense against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 23. These victories solidified Cena’s position at the top of the card and proved that he could carry the biggest show of the year.
Although Cena later suffered defeats, his dominant run from WrestleMania XX to WrestleMania 23 (4-0) remains a defining chapter of his career. His ability to perform under pressure and connect with the crowd made him a true WrestleMania standout.
4. The Miz: A Surprisingly Strong Record on the Grand Stage

Walking out of WrestleMania as WWE Champion is a feat only a handful of stars can claim, and Miz did it on one of the company’s biggest stages, with millions watching around the world.
In addition to his championship defense, Miz also won matches at WrestleMania 29 and WrestleMania 38, proving his ability to stay relevant across different eras. Whether in singles or tag team competition, Miz has shown he can adapt to the moment and perform at a high level.
Though Miz has had some losses, his performance ratio and headlining a WrestleMania as champion put him on the list of stars with memorable runs. His journey reflects not only resilience but also an understanding of how to shine when the spotlight is brightest.
