Assuming Mania Saturday was a thing from 1-35, what would have been the Saturday Main Events from past manias?
Mania 20: I would of liked to have seen it be Eddie vs Angle, but I think it would of been Taker vs Kane
Mania 21: Cena vs JBL would of Forsure got the nod
Mania 28: maybe punk gets his Mania main event this year? Or would it be Taker/HHH HIAC
Mania 29: Maybe Punk and Taker would main event this one?
Mania 30: gotta be the streak ending

There were plenty of times in years past where the 'true' main event would happen halfway through the show (usually so a backstage politician could go on last). I'm thinking Savage/Warrior at WM7, Savage/Flair at WM8 & Hogan/Rock at X8 would've all main-evented the Sat show had it existed back then.

It's tricky because I don't know what they would've done with Takeover: New York (move it to the week before?), but I really wish WM 35 had the two night setup. Kofi vs. Bryan on Saturday and the women's triple threat on Sunday would've been perfect.

Savage/Flair 9. Mega maniacs/Money Inc 10. Luger/Yoko This looks pretty much spot on. Though maybe Andre v Studd at WM1; the battle royal with NFL stars at WM2; and Jake v Dibiase for WM6. |

Undertaker would have had the Saturday main event on lock for quite a few years there. The streak match was basically on the level of a world title match in its later years.
I think v Batista at 23, v HBK at 25, v HHH at 27 & 28 and v Punk at 29 would all have been likely to main event a night one show.
I actually don't think he would have went on last at 30 though. It would just be such a depressing ending. I think it would still go on in the middle of one of the cards and Bryan/HHH would main event the Saturday.

Idk, I think with the 2 nights, they may have done HBK/Flair Or Mayweather/Big Show. The World title matches were really kind of secondary that year. |

Wouldn't putting it on in the middle after all those times ending on Saturday possibly be a tell that he's losing? I know it's all "what if?" but just something to think about. |

Eh not really, I mean Bryan vs HHH would of been big enough to close one of the show’s Forsure. And Brock vs Taker could of right before the Triple threat world title match like it did in real life |

I can’t imagine Wrestlemania 4 being longer than it is. Oh my god. Eh, Mania 4 isn't really any longer than some of the 20s Manias (as in, Mania 20-29). Just seems that way with how many matches and such are involved. Plus, IIRC, this was still the time period where WWF PPVs had intermissions in the middle of the show. |

I: Either the Women's Title or Andre/Studd.
2: Probably the big battle royal.
III: Steamboat/Savage.
IV: Andre/Hogan.
V: Probably the Intercontinental Title match or the Tag Team Titles. That match did have a year-long reign at stake.
VI: Either the Tag Team Titles or Roberts/DiBiase.
VII: Warrior/Savage.
VIII: Flair/Savage.
IX: The Tag Team Titles.
X: Luger/Yokozuna.
XI: Diesel/Michaels.
XII: Undertaker/Diesel or Piper/Goldust.
13: Austin/Hart.
XIV: Undertaker/Kane.
XV: The Hell In A Cell match, I guess? Maybe Big Show/Mankind? Jesus! Looking back on this one, only Rock/Austin looks WrestleMania worthy.
2000: The Tag Team Titles Ladder Match.
X-Seven: TLC 2 or Undertaker/Triple H.
X-8: Rock/Hogan.
XIX: Triple H/Booker, Hogan/McMahon, or Rock/Austin.
XX: Guerrero/Angle.
21: JBL/Cena.
22: World Heavyweight Title Triple Threat.
23: Batista/Undertaker.
24: I wanna say Flair/HBK, but Flair was offered the main event spot and turned it down. He felt that a World Title should get the top spot. So, probably the WWE Title Triple Threat or Big Show/Mayweather.
25: Undertaker/HBK.
XXVI: One of the world titles.
XXVII: Edge/Del Rio or Undertaker/Triple H.
XXVIII: Undertaker/Triple H.
NY/NJ: Undertaker/Punk.
XXX: Undertaker/Lesnar or Triple H/Bryan.
Play Button: Sting/Triple H or Cena/Rusev.
Star: Undertaker/Shane.
Roller Coaster: Goldberg/Lesnar.
Fleur-De-Lis: Style/Nakamura.
Statue Of Liberty: Bryan/Kingston.
