WrestleMania is WWE's grandest Showcase of the Immortals, and to honor it, Superstars must take part in making a grand entrance. Every WWE Superstar dreams of having their name in the spotlight and the crowd cheering for them to enter the stage at WrestleMania. Elaborate entrances are the make-up that makes WrestleMania truly feel like WrestleMania.

Wrestling has always been about pomp and circumstance, and WrestleMania is where WWE Superstars take that mantra to the extreme, allowing their presentation to be as extravagant and flamboyant as possible. Sometimes, a competitor's entrance is good enough to sur the match that they are competing in. That may be a testament to just how strong the entrance itself is, but oftentimes, it's a testament to how disappointing the match is. At least if the match doesn't leave an impression, the entrance most certainly always does.

10 The Undertaker

WrestleMania IX

With the theme of a Roman colosseum at Caesar's Palace, WrestleMania housed a number of extraordinary entrances for the wrestlers, and even the commentators Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Among the best entrances of the night belonged to The Undertaker. It was a haunting, yet unforgettable sight to see him carrying a vulture whilst carried by muscular stagehands as green smoke mist silhouetted his image.

It's one of The Undertaker's best entrances at WrestleMania, but it led straight into arguably his worst match. The 8-feet-tall Giant Gonzalez was practically immobile at his stature, not giving Taker much to work with, chemistry-wise. The match is worsened by being the Undertaker's only Streak win by disqualification via El Gigante's bizarre use of a chloroform rag. It's definitely the strangest and one of the most outright bad matches in Taker's WrestleMania legacy.

9 The Undertaker

WrestleMania XX

It's easy to forget just how spectacular of an entrance this is. To the modern eye, for a younger audience today, this looks like a standard Undertaker entrance (with the caveat of fire, druids, and Paul Bearer), but in 2004, this was a return to form for Mark Calaway. Calaway had been playing a more humane, biker version of the Undertaker character since 2000. He maintained the American Bad Ass persona until his onscreen brother, Kane, literally buried him alive at Survivor Series 2003, justifying The Demon of Death Valley iteration's literal rise from the dead.

Just in time for the landmark 20th WrestleMania, Undertaker reviving his Phenom personality was an attempt at nostalgia that would stick for another 16 years. At just over seven minutes, the match wasn't much of note and couldn't possibly sur their WrestleMania XIV classic, but the entrance alone made the nostalgia trip worth it.

8 John "Bradshaw" Layfield

WrestleMania 21

It's hard to believe that the year before, Bradshaw was involved in a forgotten six-minute Fatal-Four Way Tag Team match at WrestleMania XX as a member of the APA with Farooq. Within a year's time, he became SmackDown's longest-reigning WWE Champion, earning himself the marquee match at WrestleMania 21. WWE went out of their way to make the big-wig Texan look like a million bucks, having him accompanied to the ring by his personal police escorts out of a limo, subsequently entering the ring as money hailed from the sky.

His match with John Cena is wholly significant for being the franchise player's first WWE Championship win, but the match itself was fairly standard. At worst, it's boring. Despite the importance that the match holds for crowning the Doctor of Thuganomics, it's underwhelming, especially following JBL's entrance.

7 John Cena

WrestleMania 25

When he was still the leading face of WWE, John Cena frequently found himself gifted spectacular entrances from WrestleMania, and among the most memorable was when he ran down the aisle ramp through a sea of people dressed just like him, doing his trademark "You Can't See Me" taunt. He'd run into his Triple Threat World Heavyweight Championship match against Big Show and Edge, which reportedly had many factors against it, producing one of Cena's worst WrestleMania matches.

As it turns out, Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker right before them went longer than planned, knocking off a substantial amount of time from the World Heavyweight Championship bout. As a result, the trio needed to rush through their spots and, essentially, cut their match in half, preventing it from being the all-time classic it could have been.

6 Sting

WrestleMania 31

This entrance works in spite of itself. On paper, the Sting character holds no connection to Japan's culture, so the incorporation of Japanese taiko drums wielded by performers wearing his Crow face paint doesn't make much sense. However, that doesn't stop the entrance from feeling any less epic. It's an odd choice for The Icon, yes, but it adds to the spectacle of Stinger's aura for the event. Not to mention, the sight of Sting finally entering a WWE ring on the biggest stage possible is a spectacle itself that's hard not to get wrapped up in.

Besides, the entrance isn't stranger than the decision for Triple H to beat Sting in his first and only WrestleMania match, nor is it stranger than the interference of two of wrestling's greatest factions, DX and nWo, for a WWE vs. WCW invasion 14 years after WCW's destruction. Much more pressing, questionable elements are at play.

5 Rusev

WrestleMania 31

Much like how the WCW vs. WWE angle sealed Sting's loss, the America vs. Russia angle guaranteed that Rusev was going to lose the United States Championship to John Cena. While the match does have its highlights (namely with Cena's random use of a springboard Stunner), the match is able for what it's worth. It's not one of the better matches on a stacked card, but it's not a bad match by any means. What is unbelievably good, though, is the Bulgarian Brute's entrance, in which he arrives on a massive tank.

Introduced by Lana holding his U.S. Title, the visual of this large, menacing juggernaut overseeing the crowd immediately enforces to new viewers that this is a force to be reckoned with. It's one of the greatest entrances in WrestleMania history, and not even a Dave Meltzer-approved five-star classic from Rusev and John Cena could have topped this one.

4 The Rock

WrestleMania 32

This is a unique instance, because The Rock didn't make his entrance to the ring for a match, not on paper at least. On paper, he came out to announce the all-time attendance record. In reality, this led to an unscheduled match against Erick Rowan, representing the Wyatt Family. The Rock wins in six seconds, officially the shortest match in WrestleMania history. As a match and The People's Champion's first match since WrestleMania 29, it's no wonder why WWE wants fans to forget this match.

However, it's hard not to stare in awe when The Rock makes his entrance, befitting of all the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood mega-star. He's flanked in tow by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, and gets the crowd lit by setting a sign with his name on fire with a flamethrower. Even the Fire Department could smell what the Rock was cooking.

3 Alexa Bliss

WrestleMania 34

Before becoming Bray Wyatt's stand-in for Sister Abigail, Alexa Bliss' late 2010s gimmick referred to her under the Goddess moniker. Ahead of her Raw Women's Title defense against Nia Jax, she stayed true to the nickname by hailing from a giant pillar over her kingdom, making for a tremendous visual. There was a time when Bliss dominated the women's division, and putting herself on a giant pedestal was the perfect way to reiterate her dominance whilst putting over her Goddess character.

The problem with her match with Nia Jax is that, in all honesty, it probably should've been a squash match akin to Chyna vs. Ivory from WrestleMania X-Seven. The crowd wanted to see Jax get unapologetic revenge on her former best friend, so seeing the much smaller Bliss get heat on the Irresistible Force for 10 minutes, the crowd seemed to lose interest fast.

2 Shinsuke Nakamura

WrestleMania 34

Shinsuke Nakamura vs. WWE Champion AJ Styles was promoted by the company as a dream match going into WrestleMania 34, despite the fact that the two wrestled previously at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10, a bout praised as a modern classic. Their rematch on the WWE stage? Not so much. WrestleMania 34's version suffered from an uninvested crowd who were tired several hours into the show, far too tired to give a slower-paced bout the attention it deserved. Not to mention, babyface vs. babyface matches can be a hard sell to any crowd.

Thankfully, what did not disappoint was Shinsuke Nakamura's rockin' entrance. Nakamura already has one of the best entrance theme songs in WWE, but for the Grandest Stage of Them All, his violins were replaced by guitar strings performed live by Alice Cooper's Nita Strauss.

1 The Fiend

WrestleMania 37

Few WrestleMania matches have had a hotter start to a match than this one. Following an introduction from Alexa Bliss, an epic video package, and fireworks in the sky saying "Let Me In", The Fiend rose from a giant jack-in-the-box, from which he'd leap off of to strike his opponent, Randy Orton. It was enough to get the crowd lively and eagerly anticipating the opening match of Night Two of WrestleMania 37. Unfortunately, the match left a lot to be desired.

Within five minutes, Alexa Bliss would distract Bray Wyatt by bleeding black blood from her crown from atop the jack in a box to a confusing sight before Orton hit his signature RKO outta nowhere. There'd be no explanation or reason given on the show or ever, before Wyatt disappeared from television and, in a few months, was released by WWE. Fans still call it one of the worst matches WWE put on at WrestleMania.
