List of All Matches at WrestleMania X

Owen Hart vs. Bret 'Hitman' Hart

Opening Singles Match — Best Opening Match in WrestleMania History | Time: 22:28

The match universally acclaimed as the greatest opening match in WrestleMania history — and by many accounts, the greatest opening match in pay-per-view history. Owen Hart and Bret Hart, real-life brothers, opened WrestleMania X in front of 18,065 fans at Madison Square Garden in a technical masterpiece that set a standard for opening match excellence that has never been surpassed. The feud between the Hart brothers had begun at Survivor Series 1993, where Bret sustained a kayfabe leg injury while Owen was competing in the ring together on the same team. Owen ran into the distracted Bret, lost his focus, and was eliminated from the match. Post-match, Owen returned to the ring and unleashed on his older brother with furious intensity — launching one of wrestling's most emotionally complex sibling rivalries. Owen had spent years in Bret's shadow, watching his older brother become the WWF's top performer while Owen was used as a secondary act. The Survivor Series incident gave Owen the emotional justification he needed to break from Bret's team and demand his own recognition. At the Royal Rumble 1994, the brothers attempted a brief reconciliation, forming a tag team to challenge The Quebecers for the Tag Team Championship. The match ended when Bret again sustained a kayfabe knee injury and the referee stopped the contest. Owen, enraged at the loss, turned on Bret and kicked his injured leg — launching the formal feud that built to WrestleMania X. The narrative logic was precise and devastating: Owen didn't just want to beat Bret. He needed to prove he was better. The opening match slot was appropriate precisely because Bret was also in the main event — the structure forced both men to give everything in the first match of the night, knowing Bret had another championship match waiting. The match itself was 22 minutes and 28 seconds of near-perfect professional wrestling. Both men were operating at the absolute peak of their technical abilities, with reversal sequences of extraordinary precision and near-falls that had the MSG crowd completely invested. The decisive moment arrived when Bret attempted a victory roll — a signature move — but Owen countered by sitting down on Bret's shoulders and using them to secure the three-count. Owen Hart pinned his older brother at WrestleMania X in one of the biggest upsets in the event's history. The reaction was extraordinary: shock, disbelief, and Owen's delirious celebration. The MSG crowd, which had spent most of the match cheering both men equally, erupted at the result. Owen's post-match victory lap around the ring — pointing at himself, screaming that he had proved his point — was one of the most authentic expressions of vindication in WrestleMania history. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter rated the match five stars — one of only two five-star matches in WrestleMania X history. IGN placed it #4 on their Top 20 WrestleMania matches list, describing it as 'the best opening match in pay-per-view history.' Chris Jericho stated it was 'Owen's coronation.' One wrestling reviewer called it 'the greatest sports entertainment event in Madison Square Garden's history.' Result: Owen Hart wins by pinfall (victory roll counter). Time: 22:28.

Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon vs. Doink the Clown and Dink

Mixed Tag Match | Time: 6:58

The second match on the card was a mixed tag team contest pitting the fearsome villain Bam Bam Bigelow — accompanied by the sinister Luna Vachon — against the crowd-pleasing clown character Doink the Clown and his miniature sidekick companion Dink. The match was a deliberate tonal shift after the emotional intensity of the Hart brothers' opening bout — a lighter, comedic contrast designed to give the audience's emotions a brief respite before the evening's subsequent dramatic escalations. Luna Vachon was a wildly painted, aggressive female competitor who served as Bigelow's partner in carnage, while Dink was a midget wrestler version of Doink whose presence provided physical comedy. The match followed a straightforward structure: Bigelow dominated the male-versus-male exchanges, while the female exchanges between Luna and Dink provided comedic moments. The finish came after 6:58 when Doink was pinned. The match was considered the weakest on the card by most reviewers but served its tonal purpose effectively. Result: Bigelow and Luna win by pinfall. Time: 6:58.

Men on a Mission (MOM) vs. The Quebecers — WWF Tag Team Championship

WWF Tag Team Championship — Non-Title Finish | Time: 7:37

The third match was a WWF Tag Team Championship contest pitting champions The Quebecers — Jacques Rougeau and Pierre Ouellet, managed by Johnny Polo (later known as Raven) — against the enormously popular challenger tag team Men on a Mission: Mabel and Mo, with their rapper manager Oscar. The Quebecers were one of the WWF's most effective heel tag teams of the era — a scheming, chauvinistic French-Canadian duo whose theatrical villainy generated considerable crowd heat. Men on a Mission had been gaining momentum as fan favourites, with Mabel's enormous physical presence making them a credible championship threat. The match ran 7:37 but produced a non-finish: Men on a Mission were counted out after the Quebecers were thrown to the floor. Despite apparently winning the match via countout, the titles could not change hands on a countout — meaning The Quebecers retained the championship despite losing the bout. The non-finish frustrated the MSG crowd, who had been behind MOM throughout. The tag title situation resolved itself three weeks later when Men on a Mission won the championships on a taping on March 29, 1994 — though that reign was short-lived. Result: Men on a Mission win by count-out — Quebecers retain titles. Time: 7:37.

Lex Luger vs. Yokozuna — WWF Championship (Mr. Perfect as Special Referee)

WWF World Heavyweight Championship — First Title Match of Double Main Event | Time: 14:39

The fourth match on the card — and the first of the two WWF Championship contests that defined the event's unique structure — was a rematch of sorts between the patriotic American hero Lex Luger and the enormous champion Yokozuna. The backstory was intricate: Luger had been positioned as the WWF's great American hope throughout 1993, bodyslamming Yokozuna on the USS Intrepid on July 4, challenging him unsuccessfully at SummerSlam 1993 (winning by countout but not the title), and emerging as co-winner of the 1994 Royal Rumble alongside Bret Hart. The coin toss on January 31 Raw gave Luger the right to face Yokozuna first — meaning if he won, he would be the new champion and Bret Hart would face him in the main event. If he lost, Hart would face Yokozuna. Former WWF Intercontinental and tag champion Mr. Perfect was selected as the special referee — a choice that introduced uncertainty about his loyalties given his history with both men. The match featured Luger's power game against Yokozuna's immense size, with manager Cornette and Mr. Fuji at ringside providing interference opportunities. The crucial moment came when Cornette tossed his tennis racket to Mr. Fuji, who attempted to use it on Luger. Luger ducked and knocked Fuji down, then covered Yokozuna. But in the decisive and controversial sequence, Luger pushed referee Mr. Perfect while celebrating what he believed was a winning pin. Perfect called for the disqualification — Luger was disqualified for pushing the referee. The MSG crowd was furious. Despite Luger's protests, Perfect's call stood. Yokozuna retained the title via disqualification, setting up Bret Hart's later opportunity as the final title match of the evening. Result: Yokozuna retains by disqualification — Luger pushed referee. Time: 14:39.

Alundra Blayze vs. Leilani Kai — WWF Women's Championship

WWF Women's Championship | Time: 3:25

The fifth match was a brief WWF Women's Championship contest between champion Alundra Blayze — the reinstated Women's title had been revived after a four-year absence when Blayze won it in December 1993 — and the veteran Leilani Kai, who was competing at Madison Square Garden in a WrestleMania for the second time, having previously participated at WrestleMania I nine years earlier. The historical symmetry — Kai competing at both WM1 and WM10 in MSG — gave the match a pleasing historical dimension, and her familiarity with the venue gave the appearance of genuine continuity in the Women's division's history. Blayze retained the Women's Championship after 3:25 with a German suplex bridging pin. While brief, the match served to re-establish the Women's Championship's presence on WrestleMania's grandest stage after years of absence. Result: Alundra Blayze retains. Time: 3:25.

Randy 'Macho Man' Savage vs. Crush

Falls Count Anywhere Match — Savage's Final WrestleMania | Time: 9:47

The sixth match was a Falls Count Anywhere grudge match — with a unique stipulation attached to the falls — between Randy 'Macho Man' Savage and the imposing Hawaiian powerhouse Crush, managed by Mr. Fuji. The feud had been built since late 1993, when Crush turned heel and allied himself with Mr. Fuji after being assaulted by Yokozuna and abandoned by Savage. Savage had initially supported Crush during his recovery but the relationship deteriorated into genuine hostility when Crush revealed his heel alignment. The Falls Count Anywhere stipulation was enhanced by an additional rule: after each pinfall, the losing man had sixty seconds to return to the ring or lose the match. The match was conducted in various areas around the Hoosier Dome interior — outside the ring, in the aisle, and at the stage. The sixty-second rule created unique drama: Crush pinned Savage at ringside, but Savage recovered before the count expired and continued to fight. The decisive sequence came when Savage tied Crush upside down in the ring ropes — suspended vertically with his feet caught above — and the helpless Crush was unable to free himself before the sixty seconds elapsed. Savage won the match via the rope-hanging count-out stipulation. This was Randy Savage's final WrestleMania as a WWF performer — he departed for WCW shortly after WM10. Result: Savage wins. Time: 9:47.

Howard Finkel vs. Harvey Wippleman — Tuxedo Match

Tuxedo Match — Ring Announcer vs. Manager | Time: 1:31

The seventh match was a brief and comedic Tuxedo Match between WWF ring announcer Howard Finkel and Harvey Wippleman — the fast-talking manager of Sid Justice at WrestleMania VIII. The feud had begun when Wippleman repeatedly mocked and physically harassed Finkel on WWF television, leading to the ring announcer demanding satisfaction in a competition. Tuxedo matches are won when one competitor strips the other of their formal attire, with both men wearing tuxedos. After 1:31, Howard Finkel completed the strip of Wippleman's formal wear and won the Tuxedo Match to a delighted MSG crowd reaction. The match was the lightest moment on the card and served as a crowd-pleasing interlude before the evening's two remaining landmark matches. Result: Howard Finkel wins Tuxedo Match. Time: 1:31.

Razor Ramon vs. Shawn Michaels — WWF Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match

First Ladder Match in WrestleMania History — Five Stars | Time: 18:47

The match that changed professional wrestling forever. Razor Ramon's Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania X is the most historically influential match in WrestleMania history — the contest that introduced the ladder match format to mainstream pay-per-view audiences and created a match stipulation that would become one of professional wrestling's most celebrated and replicated formats for the next three decades. The backstory was built around a genuine competitive logic: Shawn Michaels had been stripped of the WWF Intercontinental Championship in September 1993 for failure to defend the title enough times — the real reason being a steroid-related suspension, though Michaels denied this. While Michaels was off television, Razor Ramon won the vacant IC Championship in a battle royal on Raw on September 27, 1993. When Michaels returned in November 1993, he refused to acknowledge the title change, insisting he was the rightful champion since he had never been defeated for the belt. Michaels began carrying his own version of the Intercontinental belt while Ramon carried the official one. After Michaels interfered in Ramon's title match with IRS at the Royal Rumble, WWF President Jack Tunney ruled that the disputed championship situation would be resolved at WrestleMania X — in a Ladder Match, with both championship belts hanging above the ring. The first wrestler to scale the ladder and retrieve both belts would be the undisputed Intercontinental Champion. This was only the second ladder match in WWF history — the first having been a match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels on a Wrestling Challenge episode twenty months earlier — and the first ever ladder match on a major pay-per-view anywhere in the world. Michaels walked out accompanied by his enormous bodyguard Diesel — Kevin Nash — who was still early in his WWF career. Referee Earl Hebner quickly ejected Diesel from ringside after Diesel clotheslined Ramon on the arena floor, ensuring the match would be decided cleanly between the two competitors. With Diesel removed, the match became a pure athletic showcase. Over 18 minutes and 47 seconds, Ramon and Michaels dismantled each other and the ladder itself in a series of spots that had never been seen on a major wrestling platform. Highlights included Ramon hitting Michaels with a chokeslam at the match's opening; Michaels hitting a diving elbow off the ladder; Ramon receiving a sickening bump as he was thrown onto the exposed concrete floor after Michaels reversed a Razor's Edge attempt; Michaels splashing Ramon while leaping from the ladder; Ramon shoulderblocking the ladder while Michaels was on it, sending Michaels crotching himself on the top rope; Michaels getting his foot accidentally caught in the ropes while trying to free himself from the ladder, delaying his attempt to retrieve the belts; and finally, Ramon climbing the ladder and reaching both Intercontinental Championship belts — pulling them free just as Michaels finally freed his trapped hand. Razor Ramon was the undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter gave the match five stars — the first five-star rating for any match in WWF history and one of only five WrestleMania matches ever rated five stars by Meltzer. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter readers voted it 1994 Match of the Year, as did Pro Wrestling Illustrated readers. IGN placed it #3 on their Top 20 WrestleMania Matches list. One CageMatch reviewer called it 'the Citizen Kane of ladder matches.' Multiple reviewers noted the extraordinary achievement of conducting such an innovative match with only a single ladder. The match was described by 411mania as 'downright groundbreaking for the time' and 'an amazing match that put the ladder match on the map.' For Razor Ramon, the match was the defining moment of his career — he never became a world champion, and this match became his WrestleMania legacy. For Shawn Michaels, it was 'the unofficial coming-out party' for a performer who would win his first world championship at WrestleMania XII two years later. Result: Razor Ramon wins and is undisputed WWF Intercontinental Champion. Time: 18:47.

Bret 'Hitman' Hart vs. Yokozuna — WWF Championship (Special Referee: Roddy Piper)

WWF World Heavyweight Championship — Main Event | Time: 10:38

The main event of WrestleMania X was the second WWF Championship match of the evening — Bret Hart challenging Yokozuna after Owen Hart had defeated Bret in the opening match and Lex Luger had been disqualified in the first title match. The deck was stacked against Bret in every conceivable way: he had already competed for twenty-two minutes against his brother, his body was already taxed, the champion had been resting between title matches, and Bret's WrestleMania X journey required him to overcome his own brother, then the world's most dominant champion, all on the same night. Roddy Piper served as special referee for this match — as Mr. Perfect had for the Luger match. Piper's integrity as an official was never called into question throughout the match, and his presence communicated an implicit promise of fair officiating. The match featured Bret fighting from underneath against Yokozuna's enormous power. Yokozuna dominated methodically, using his body weight and strength to grind Hart down. The scheming Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette at ringside threatened to tip the balance on multiple occasions — but Piper kept the situation under control. The decisive moment came when Yokozuna attempted his signature Banzai Drop — the move where he climbs to the second rope and drops his enormous body weight across a prone opponent's chest. Yokozuna climbed the second turnbuckle, aimed at the fallen Hart, and jumped — but lost his balance mid-leap. He crashed awkwardly to the mat instead of landing on Bret. Hart immediately covered the disoriented Yokozuna for the three-count. Roddy Piper made the three-count with full conviction. Bret Hart was the new WWF World Heavyweight Champion for the second time. The MSG crowd exploded in the most euphoric collective celebration of the entire evening. The post-match celebration was extraordinary: a parade of WWF's top babyfaces — Lex Luger, Roddy Piper, Razor Ramon, Tatanka, The 1-2-3 Kid, Sparky Plugg, and Randy Savage — all joined Bret in the ring, along with celebrities Burt Reynolds, Rhonda Shear, and Donnie Wahlberg. WWF commentators Gorilla Monsoon and Vince McMahon entered the ring. Confetti and pyrotechnics filled the arena. The celebration was one of WrestleMania's most joyful post-match moments. But amid the euphoria, the camera found Owen Hart standing in the aisle — glaring at his brother with cold fury, refusing to share in the celebration, then silently departing. The moment perfectly set up the continuation of the Bret vs. Owen feud that would define the remainder of 1994. Bret Hart became the first wrestler to win both the WWF Intercontinental Championship and the WWF World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. Result: Bret Hart wins — NEW WWF World Heavyweight Champion. Time: 10:38.
