Stone Cold breaks Edge's unique WrestleMania record
Stone Cold Steve Austin broke a unique WrestleMania record tonight that previously belonged to Edge.
At WrestleMania Saturday, Stone Cold faced Kevin Owens in an impromptu No Holds Barred match. It was also the main event of Night One of the Shows of Shows. After a hard-hitting brawl, Austin delivered a thunderous Stunner to Owens to pick up the big win.
With his huge win, Austin broke an impressive WrestleMania record that was previously held by none other than Edge. The Rattlesnake now holds the longest amount of time between two WrestleMania main events.
Austin's last WrestleMania main event was way back in 2001. At WrestleMania 17, the Hall of Famer defeated The Rock in a WWE title match, and joined forces with Vince McMahon immediately after. 21 long years later, Austin headlined WrestleMania again, defeating Kevin Owens.

Edge headlined WrestleMania 24 in 2008, against The Undertaker. That night, The Deadman defeated The Ultimate Opportunist to win the world title. 13 years later, Edge headlined WrestleMania 37 against Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan for the Universal Championship. The Tribal Chief defeated The Rated R Superstar and Bryan to retain his title.
