We're now exactly two weeks away from WrestleMania 35 and while it doesn't look like the most endearing card on paper, there's always the potential that it might punch above its weight class. Some WrestleManias are underrated.

With the Show of Shows so close at hand, there's no better time to delve into the history of some of these underrated spectacles. Here, we'll take a look at three WrestleMania main events that often get overlooked in the lore of WWE's biggest show, but are well worth the watch for new and old fans alike.


#1 Edge vs. The Undertaker (WrestleMania 24)

At last, the showdown.
At last, the showdown.

The Edge vs. Undertaker feud is underrated as a whole. It actually stands strong as one of the best pieces of long term storytelling in WWE's post-Attitude Era history.

Shortly after Undertaker won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 23, he was bitten by the injury bug. WWE didn't want to put the title right back on Batista, so after a gruelling steel cage match between the two that ended in a draw, Undertaker was attacked by Mark Henry.

Edge then sneaked his way through the backdoor and cashed in his newly-won Money in the Bank contract to become champion. Edge too would be bitten by the injury bug, but the resentment lingered.

Both men returned late in the year, where Edge would once again trick Undertaker out of the title in his Hell in a Cell match with Batista at Survivor Series. Edge then won the title a month later at Armageddon.

Believing that he had triumphed over both Batista and Undertaker, Edge was riding high, but the Deadman never lost sight of his goal. He punched his ticket to WrestleMania by winning the Elimination Chamber match that year.

Edge avoided combat with his opponent until then, but couldn't at WrestleMania, and none of his other tricks worked there either. In a fine match, Undertaker went to 16-0 and finally recaptured the title.

This match is also notable for the best referee dash of all time.
