Dude inserted himself into the main event and then won that event, so yes.

Did Hogan Main Event Wrestlemania IX; does it really count as the main event if it wasnt advertised and used as the tool to sell the event?

He wasn’t promoted as being in the main event no. But he ended up in it and won it so absolutely yes.
And he had that RKO moment with Orton on the show. What a night Seth had.

During his appearance on Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Conversations, Seth himself said that he wants to have a proper main event match at Wrestlemania. He originally thought he and Brock would main event Wrestlemania 35, but later found out they’d be opening the show because his future wife would be main eventing.

No. He wasn’t promoted, he didn’t wrestle most of the match. Didn’t happen.

Did he Main Event? No he didn't, he wasn't promoted as a part of the promotion and build up of it, I feel like that's a big part of classing something "The main event" - However, was he "a part" of the main event? Yes he was. They advertised Wrestlemania 9 as a double main event, so does that mean both Brutus Beefcake and IRS have main evented a Wrestlemania? I’m not sure I am comfortable in a world where Ed Leslie has main evented both a Wrestlemania and a Starrcade.

Didn’t WrestleMania XIX advertise four main events or am I not remembering the ads correctly? (Lesnar/Angle, HHH/Booker T, Austin/Rock, Hogan/McMahon)

(Lesnar/Angle, HHH/Booker T, Austin/Rock, Hogan/McMahon) There are a bunch of Wrestlemanias (and other PPVs) that advertise multiple main events but people generally only consider the last match on the card as the one that “counts” as main eventing. I remember Fully Loaded 2000 and all the marketing hyping it as a triple main event with 3 established main eventers (Rock, HHH, Taker) all taking on newer guys (Benoit, Jericho, Angle). Like I’m pretty sure Wrestlemania 29 was also hyped as a triple main event with Rock/Cena, Brock/HHH and Taker/Punk but I’ve never heard anyone seriously consider CM Punk a Wrestlemania main eventer. Even he himself doesn’t.

If he wasn't then can someone tell me who won the main event match of Mania 31? Maybe I'm splitting hairs, but; yes he won the main event, but to Main Event WrestleMania you have to be announced ahead of time.

Kind of like how I feel about a world where The Fridge has a Superbowl TD and Walter Payton doesn't.

Please tell me he said "my future wife" with a Tommy Wiseau accent.

Yes. In the Records Books, both WWE & my site (darrenswinloss.wordpress.com), the final match of WrestleMania 31 is listed as a Triple Threat Match between Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, & Seth Rollins. So, Rollins has main evented WrestleMania.

I'm of the opinion that he didn't, but this is one of those rare situations where it doesn't matter where you stand on the matter... You're right, or at least can make a valid argument towards being right.
To me, a main event... Especially a "Wrestlemania" one is something that is booked and promoted before the show begins, and Rollins coming it at the tail end of the match to steal the WWE Championship in what as been expertly referred to as the "Heist of the Century"
With that said, I recently came to the conclusion that if when Seth Rollins entered the match turning it into a three-way, a second bell rang to signify the start of a second match... The I would consider that him main eventing "Wrestlemania". However, I don't directly recall off the top of my head if that's how things played out, or if he came out and him cashing in the money in the bank contract just became a continuation of an ongoing match.
Anyway, I'm well aware that was a bit rambly, incoherent and doesn't make sense so I'm just going to stick with, "No, he didn't."

Even he himself doesn’t. If you have multiple main events you have no main event. I mean that's not true in the sense the last match is the ME but it means you are hedging bets and think if you had to sell this card on just either match you can't so you try to have a few B matches to add to an A plus. It doesn't usually work too well

As On the Take Tunney would advise, he was contractually promised to cash in on a World title shot.
Said cash-in was at a Wrestlemania main event, therefore by implication and association...

I mean main event basically means main attraction. No one knew that it was going to be an event so it couldn't really be a main event.
