WrestleMania is not only the Showcase of the Immortals but when done right, is home to some of the most instantly rewatchable matches ever.

Think about it: how many times have you seen "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat or Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant from WrestleMania III? How many times have you ridden the emotional rollercoaster that is Bret Hart vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin from 1997?

Speaking of the Texas Rattlesnake, his trilogy of battles with The Rock on the grand stage are required viewing, as is the Kurt Angle vs. Brock Lesnar main event from 2003.

When everything clicks and the action and story lives up to the hype, nothing touches what unfolds at the Show of Shows.

In celebration of the biggest WrestleMania ever, these are the matches from Philadelphia that fans will be rewinding and reliving for years to come.

Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre (Damian Priest Cashes In)

Sunday's WrestleMania telecast was book-ended by examples of professional wrestling done to perfection, starting with Seth Rollins defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre.

There was the showmanship of the entrances, with the badassery of bagpipers playing The Scottish Warrior to the ring and Rollins leaning further into the absurd by leading a parade of Philadelphia Mummers to the squared circle.

From there, the combatants had a really strong match that, although short, was exactly what it needed to be. McIntyre exploited Rollins' knee. But, despite the injury, The Visionary still did everything he could to give 100-percent.

It just was not enough and the challenger put him away with the Claymore.

The tears in Rollins' eyes as he watched another man celebrate with what had been his title since its introduction hammered home to gravity of the moment while the tears in McIntyre's reflected the meaningfulness of the moment occurring in front of a live audience, something he was robbed of four years earlier.

Then came the angle that catapulted it the entire ordeal into all-timer status.

McIntyre could not leave well enough alone. He had to approach CM Punk, who has a penchant for minding his own business but still attracting antagonistic wrestlers looking for a fight.

The Scottish Warrior fooled around and found out, catching a beating from the Chicago native, then saw his dreams turn into a nightmare as The Judgment Day's Damian Priest rushed the ring and laid him out with his Money in the Bank briefcase, then proceeded to successfully cash in to win the title.

It was the best cash-in WWE has produced in years and single-handedly rejuvenated a concept that had cooled off significantly, thanks to questionable uses of the gimmick. That it happened at the top of the show and delivered a big moment only enhanced it.

Great booking, superb showmanship in the entrances, expert weaving of storylines, and epic Money in the Bank usage ensures this one will be re-watched for years to come.

Sami Zayn vs. Gunther

Sami Zayn is quickly developing into a candidate for this era's Mr. WrestleMania.

Two years ago, he had a match with Jackass' Johnny Knoxville that was infinitely better than it had any right to be, thanks mostly to Zayn's willingness to accept the nonsensical.

A year ago, he teamed with his best friend, Kevin Owens, to defeat The Usos and capture the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship in the main event of night one and pay off one of the greatest storyline threads in modern history.

In 2024, Zayn entered WrestleMania desperate to prove that he was still a contender on his own. He had seen his hopes of competing for the world title dashed but received a second lease on life, thanks to an opportunity to challenge for the Intercontinental Championship.

All he had to do was beat a competitor in Gunther who had not lost a singles match since arriving on the main roster two years earlier.

For 666 days, The Ring General defeated all comers, chopping and power bombing his way to victory.

That ended Saturday in Philadelphia as the only thing that could match Gunther's ferocity was the grit, determination, and resilience of Zayn, who used a devastating brainbuster from the top rope and a Helluva Kick to put away the Austrian and win the championship.

Arguably the best pure match on the card, it featured an emotionally fueled performance from Zayn, who very much earned the chance to celebrate his victory with his wife, Khadijah, at ringside after the bell.

Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins vs. The Rock and Roman Reigns

The Rock had not set foot inside the squared circle for an advertised, long form match since his 2013 WrestleMania main event against John Cena prior to Saturday's show.

The Final Boss teamed with Roman Reigns to battle Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the biggest tag team main event in WrestleMania history.

The match certainly lived up to its billing, running just shy of 45 minutes and earning recognition as the second-longest in the 40-year history of the show. It was a wild, chaotic match that leaned into Attitude Era brawling, including a fight into the stands and plenty of ringside fighting.

There were announce table bumps, a big spear from Reigns to Rollins through the timekeepers' barricade, and the introduction of the "Mama Rhodes" weightlifting belt as a weapon by the Great One.

At one point, it looked as though the babyfaces may triumph but Rock leaned into his real-life role on the Board of Directors and influenced the referee, preventing him from counting three and at one point, refusing to allow him to call for a count-out.

The Final Boss and The Tribal Chief ultimately overwhelmed Rollins and Rhodes, doing just enough to emerge victoriously and set up the following night's Bloodline Rules match.

A long watch, sure, but fans who want to relive the overall experience of the Rhodes/Rollins/Rock/Reigns story will start with the tag team match and transition into the following night's main event.

Speaking of which...

Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns

There is no form of sport or entertainment better than professional wrestling when it is executed to perfection.

Sunday night, in the main event of the biggest WrestleMania ever, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and everyone else involved with the marquee bout delivered the perfect match.

Reigns was the arrogant, overconfident undisputed WWE universal champion who knew he beat the challenger a year ago and, under Bloodline Rules, knew he had plenty of backup to ensure it happened again.

Rhodes was the resilient, inspirational babyface seeking to finish his story, which began decades earlier when his father, the legendary "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, was robbed of the WWE Championship in Madison Square Garden, and would conclude with a victory in Philadelphia.

Together, they wrestled a damn good match that would have been perfectly acceptable in that form.

Then, came the parade of cameos, all of which made sense within the context of the larger story at play.

Jimmy Uso broke up a Cross Rhodes attempt, drawing Jey Uso to finish the sibling war that started the previous night. Solo Sikoa was up next, again preventing Rhodes from executing his finisher as intended. The babyface response? John Cena, who rushed the ring and drove The Enforcer through the announce table.

When The Rock made his way to the ring and delivered a vicious Rock Bottom to his rival, it appeared as though The Bloodline would be victorious.

Reigns wiped out Seth Rollins as he entered the ring in Shield gear, apparently making short work of The Architect. More on that in a moment.

Then, the familiar tolling of the bell. The lights went down and when they came back on, The Undertaker delivered a vicious chokeslam to The Final Boss, not willing to sit back and watch him compromise a "yard" that he ruled over for three decades.

With no one left to protect him, Reigns stood up with a steel chair in-hand and looked at Rhodes. Then Rollins. Remembering the trauma of the Shield's breakup, and the mind games Rollins had played with him over the years, The Tribal Chief could not help but blast his former teammate one last time, replicating the betrayal that so adversely and personally affected him.

In that moment, Rollins was exactly what he told Rhodes he would be: his shield.

The American Nightmare punted an incoming Reigns in the face, delivered three consecutive Cross Rhodes, and won the WWE title.

The celebration, the emotion, and the declaration of a new era closed out the biggest show of the year and, maybe, the most historically significant ever.

The match itself was brilliant. It was professional wrestling done right, by a band of characters and a host of creative minds who care about the intricacies as much as the big stuff. It was a classic main event, with an epic happy ending, and one that fans will look to for years to come as an example of what makes pro wrestling so great.
