Another WrestleMania is in the books. This year’s Show of Shows delivered a number of epic moments that will forever live in the minds and hearts of the WWE Universe (and on WWE Network). Legends united, a streak was broken and a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion was crowned. So what were our favorite moments?

With so many to choose from, picking just five was not an easy task. However, there were certain moments that stood above the rest. Moments that will be immortalized on The Grandest Stage of Them All. WWE.com presents our five favorite moments from WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans.
A legendary kickoff to The Showcase of the Immortals
The host of WrestleMania, Hulk Hogan, started the festivities by welcoming the WWE Universe to the historic 30th edition of The Show of Shows. Though the WWE Hall of Famer made the mistake of branding the Mercedes-Benz Superdome the “Silverdome,” the blunder didn’t ruin the moment.

While having “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan opening the show would suffice on most evenings, this night demanded more. And more the WWE Universe would receive. The sound of glass shattering sparked a frenzy among the crowd of 75,167 strong. As “Stone Cold” Steve Austin familiarized himself to The Hulkster, the WWE Universe hung on every word.
The Texas Rattlesnake gave Hogan a playful jab after his earlier slip-up, and the two WWE Hall of Famers agreed that they both are deserving of their place in WWE history. If the stage wasn’t already grand enough, it was The Rock’s turn to join the WrestleMania Moment.
The arrival of The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment only broadened what was already an explosive launch to an historic night. The People’s Champion — not one to miss an opportunity to relish in the moment — also poked fun at Hogan’s earlier gaffe. However, the red-and-yellow-laced WWE Hall of Famer took the verbal jabs in stride, declaring WrestleMania 30 open for business. Following a legendary cheers, The Showcase of the Immortals was full speed ahead.
Cesaro’s WrestleMania Moment of strength
History was made when 30 Superstars entered the ring for the first-ever Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal on The Grandest Stage of Them All in New Orleans. Perhaps the historic contest was destined for greatness with WrestleMania 30 Host Hulk Hogan announcing the match after his triumphant return to WWE. However, it was the dramatic ending to the action-packed bout that would cement one Superstar’s place in the history books.
An epic feat of strength
The heavy favorite to walk out victorious was Big Show, the most decorated competitor of the 30 Superstars. Even though The World’s Largest Athlete put up a valiant effort, it wasn’t meant to be for the massive Superstar, who was eliminated by Cesaro to close the contest.
Cesaro not only outlasted 29 other Superstars to hoist the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal trophy, but the rapidly rising Superstar showcased an epic display of strength when he hoisted the 400-plus-pound giant over the top rope to walk out victorious. It’s hard not to be impressed by this WrestleMania Moment.
