The Ultimate Warrior had a meteoric rise to the top of the summit. He won the Intercontinental Championship on two occasions and seemed destined to capture the top prize. After a memorable staredown with WWE Champion Hulk Hogan in the Royal Rumble Match, the match was all set for the Ultimate Challenge at WrestleMania 6.
The two biggest babyfaces in the promotion clashed with the two top titles up for grabs. Hogan and Warrior sold out the Skydome in Toronto with every fan on the edge of theiri seat from the opening bell. They put on a well-crafted main event encounter that escalated as time went on and built towards a compelling crescendo.
The Ultimate Warrior overcame the Immortal One and defeated him to win the WWE Championship. The contest felt bigger than any match before it and was the first time the company had put two fan favorites against one another in the headline match on the Show of Shows. It delivered in every way possible and set the Warrior up for a run on top.
