A major focal point of the WWE is a superstar’s entrance. From the music to the movements to the pyro, an entrance can make or break a superstar’s aura and how they are perceived. And no entrances are filled with glitz and glamour more than WrestleMania.
Honorable Mentions
Seth Rollins (WM 33) Andre The Giant (WM 3) Randy Savage (WM 8)
20. JBL WrestleMania 21
What better way to make an entrance not only as a champion but to the greatest wrestling show of the year than by getting a police escort in your custom Limousine with horns on the front and your name on the side as you exit the limo, 100 dollar bills with your face on it reign from the crowd. The entrance is not only fitting for WrestleMania but it is fitting for the man himself.
19. John Cena WrestleMania 23
WWE champions always get a special entrance. This one was right up there with some of the best. The man drove a 2007 Ford Mustang through the city, into the back entrance of the arena, shattered the decorative WM 23 glass, slammed the brakes and then the iconic entrance theme hits. He exits the car, title in hand, and marches to the ring through the crowd, defends his title, and leaves. Special entrance for one of the all-time greats.
18. Alexa Bliss WrestleMania 34
In an entrance only fit for a goddess, we got shades of Sean Michaels at WrestleMania 25 with this one. Bliss descended from halfway up the stage with the title belt around her waist looking to extend her 222-day reign as Raw Women’s champion. Although she wasn’t able to beat Nia Jax to retain the title, she absolutely stole the show with her entrance
17. Bianca Belair WrestleMania 38
Clocking in at 17 is the 2nd bEST entrance of WrestleMania 38. It began with a local Dallas Texas band coming out and serenading the EST with her own theme music. From one side of the stage to the other, it was filled to the absolute brim with Musicians before Belair made her way to the ring and captured her WrestleMania moment.
16. Becky Lynch WrestleMania 38
When you return after maternity leave and beat one of the most hyped NXT superstars in recent memory in a matter of seconds, rest assured you will be getting a champions entrance. And that she did. Entering the event as Raw Women’s champion, Big Time Becks made her entrance with a Cadillac SUV and her own personal valet driver. A highlight of the event without a doubt and the best entrance of the show.
15. Shawn Michaels WrestleMania 25
Instead of hearing the iconic first few beats of HBK’s entrance theme, we heard an angelic hymn followed by a spotlight revealing him descending from the heavens dressed in all white. Cowboy hat and pony tail in all, Michaels made his presence known in the Forces of Good vs Forces of Evil match with the Undertaker, which is widely regarded as one of the best matches of all time.
14. Undertaker WrestleMania 14
What better way to welcome a 6’7 dead space cowboy to the greatest event in wrestling than by having a series of men come out dressed in black gowns holding torches? This was to not only welcome the deadman but honor him as he was 7-0 at WrestleMania at this point.
13. Cody Rhodes WrestleMania 38
This is possibly one of if not the greatest WrestleMania returns of all time. Rhodes did the unthinkable. Crossed the forbidden door, found his way, came back to the WWE, and became the hottest star in the company. This entrance is what started the road to the top of the American nightmare.
12. Triple H and Stephanie McMahon WrestleMania 34
WrestleMania of today is iconic because of one man. Triple H. Reigning, defending booker of the year has made WrestleMania’s popularity continue even after the Vince McMahon era. In his WWE in-ring career, however, this is one of the best entrances of his in-ring career. Who better to do it with than with your fiancé turned wife?
11. Sasha Banks WrestleMania 32
An entrance fit for a boss. WWE Hall of Famer and rap icon Snoop Dogg came out with his cousin Sasha Banks in her Eddie Guerrero Inspired gear to crown the inaugural Raw Women’s Champion. Sasha lost the match to Charlotte Flair but she was no doubt the star of the match.
10. Shinsuke Nakamura WrestleMania 34
When your entrance music starts with a guitar solo and you have a legendary guitarist in town for WrestleMania it’s a match made in heaven. Shinsuke’s epic entrance music combined with the musical poise of Nita Strauss makes for one epic entrance fit for his WrestleMania moment.
9. Rey Mysterio WrestleMania 39
In the match where Mysterio faced his son for the first time ever, he made an all-time great entrance. Coming out of the tunnel in Snoop Dogg’s Low Rider with the tune of “Nothing but a g thang” Echoing through the arena. Seconds later we heard the Iconic “Viva La Raza” of Eddie Guerrero’s theme bringing not just Sofi Stadium but the entire WWE universe to a tear.
8. The Rock WrestleMania 32
Coming out to let the WWE universe know about a record-breaking attendance for the event, The Rock entered the stage with massive letters spelling out “Rock”. In the style of the 8-time champion, he took a flamethrower and set it ablaze, setting the tone not only for the next few matches but for the entire show.
7. Roman Reigns WrestleMania 39
The ultimate final boss entrance. Entering his 3rd straight WrestleMania defending the same title, he entered the main event to a set of pianos playing his theme and marching down to the ring with the Wiseman Paul Heyman and the Enforcer of the Bloodline Solo Sikoa by his side. Best entrance of the show by far
6. The Fiend WrestleMania 37
Looking daft as usual, but making Randy Orton’s blood boil, Alexa Bliss played a massive Jack-in-the-box at ringside. Out of the box popped Wyatt, bringing back his old look. Following the reveal, he launched himself off the platform and hit Orton with a clothesline, beginning the match
5. Triple H WrestleMania 30
An entrance fit for the king of kings. Triple H made what I consider to be his greatest entrance of all time coming in on a throne, wearing solid gold armor and was accompanied by three of the company’s soon-to-be top female wrestlers, Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, and Sasha Banks.
4. The Undertaker WrestleMania 29
In the final WrestleMania win of his legendary streak, the undertaker makes his personal best entrance, with his iconic music and dark purple aura along with hands seemingly from the grave of his past opponents reaching to grab him towards the end of the ramp. A great entrance for a legendary star.
3. Charlotte Flair WrestleMania 35
For some, there are the conventional ways to make it to the ring. Your music hits you make your walk and just like that it’s over. With Charlotte Flair, there is no such thing as an ordinary entrance. This particular one was her best, as she arrived at MetLife stadium in a helicopter before getting her entrance gear on and making the walk to the pinnacle of sports entertainment.
2. John Cena WrestleMania 25
When watching this for the very first time, I remember thinking “Why are there so many John Cena’s coming to the ring?” as an army of John Cena lookalikes marched down to the entrance ramp serenading Cena with an entrance for nobody else but the greatest of all time. It took a few minutes to understand but I then realized how bizarre but awesome the entrance was.
1. Shawn Michales WrestleMania 12
The undisputed greatest entrance of all time. A spotlight emerged from the ground to the very top of the arena, revealing Shawn Michales in his gear with a zip line. He took a leap from the top and rode through the arena down into the crowd where he would do the rest of his entrance into the ring. Shawn Michaels walked so guys like Logan Paul could run
