| 1 | The Ultimate Warrior New WWF World Heavyweight Champion — Winner Takes All Main Event The Ultimate Warrior entered WrestleMania VI as the WWF Intercontinental Champion — the title he had held since SummerSlam 1988 when he destroyed Honky Tonk Man's record 454-day reign in approximately 30 seconds. His mainstream popularity in early 1990 was at its absolute peak — arguably matching or even briefly exceeding Hulk Hogan's in terms of fan intensity. The Warrior's WrestleMania VI performance — driven by his extraordinary physical presence, his energy, and Pat Patterson's choreography — delivered one of the most electric title changes in WWF history. As new WWF Champion, his initial reign was commercially successful, with his primary feud being the continuation of his war with Rick Rude. | WWF Intercontinental Champion — became WWF World Heavywei... | Won | Feuded with Rick Rude — successful initial title defence ... |
| 2 | Hulk Hogan Outgoing WWF World Heavyweight Champion — Main Event Hulk Hogan entered WrestleMania VI as the WWF World Heavyweight Champion — the same role he had filled at every WrestleMania since the inaugural event in 1985. His loss to Warrior was clean, decisive, and historically unprecedented. Post-WM6, Hogan wrestled in Japan before returning to the WWF to feud with Earthquake through the summer of 1990. His WM6 loss represented the first genuine passing of the torch in WWF history — though Hogan would reclaim the title in 1991 at WrestleMania VII. | WWF World Heavyweight Champion — lost title | Lost | Feud with Earthquake — Japan tour — returned for SummerSl... |
| 3 | André the Giant WWF Tag Team Champion — Colossal Connection André the Giant appeared at WrestleMania VI as one-half of the WWF Tag Team Champion Colossal Connection alongside Haku. By 1990, André's body had deteriorated dramatically due to acromegaly — he could barely move at wrestling speed, and most of his contribution in matches was physical presence rather than active competition. WrestleMania VI was his final WWF television match. His post-match babyface turn — slapping Bobby Heenan after Heenan slapped him — and the standing ovation he received from 67,000 fans in Toronto was a deeply moving farewell to one of the greatest careers in professional wrestling history. He died on January 27, 1993. | WWF Tag Team Champion — Colossal Connection | Lost — title change | — |
| 4 | Randy 'Macho King' Savage Mixed Tag Match — with Queen Sherri Randy Savage had undergone his second significant character transformation since WrestleMania V — following the dissolution of the Mega Powers and his break from Miss Elizabeth, he had crowned himself 'Macho King' and taken on the sycophantic 'Queen' Sensational Sherri as his new valet. The mixed tag match against Dusty Rhodes and Sapphire was a theatrical showcase for both new characters, with the surprise appearance of Miss Elizabeth at ringside providing the emotional undercurrent that would define the WM7 Savage narrative. | Macho King — Mixed Tag participant | Lost | — |
| 5 | Bret 'Hitman' Hart Hart Foundation — 19-Second Tag Victory Bret Hart competed at WrestleMania VI as one-half of The Hart Foundation — the team that demolished the Bolsheviks in 19 seconds before they could finish singing the Soviet anthem. The result further positioned Hart and Neidhart as the primary babyface tag team contenders, a status confirmed at SummerSlam 1990 when they won the WWF Tag Team Championship from Demolition. | Hart Foundation — tag team match | Won in 19 seconds | Won Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam 1990 |
| 6 | Mr. Perfect Suffered First Billed Pinfall Loss — vs. Brutus Beefcake Mr. Perfect's WrestleMania VI loss was the most significant single setback of Curt Hennig's WWF career to that point. The billed 'first pinfall loss' was a carefully managed character moment — Perfect's undefeated aura had been one of the WWF's most effective character devices for two years, and its end on the WrestleMania VI stage gave the defeat maximum impact. Perfect recovered the Intercontinental Championship in the subsequent tournament after Warrior vacated it, launching his most successful WWF championship period. | Suffered first billed pinfall loss | Lost to Brutus Beefcake | — |
| 7 | Shawn Michaels The Rockers — Tag Match vs. Orient Express Shawn Michaels competed at WrestleMania VI as one-half of The Rockers alongside Marty Jannetty in their match against the Orient Express. While the Rockers lost by count-out, the match was one of the event's better undercard contests and showcased Michaels' extraordinary athleticism at a relatively early stage of his WWF career. His WM6 appearance was the beginning of a WrestleMania career that would eventually make him the benchmark for in-ring excellence on the grandest stage. | The Rockers — tag team match | Lost by count-out | — |
| 8 | Demolition (Ax and Smash) New WWF Tag Team Champions — Defeated Colossal Connection Demolition won the WWF Tag Team Championship for the third and final time at WrestleMania VI. Ax and Smash were the most decorated tag team in WWF history at that point — their first reign had lasted a record 478 days. The WM6 title win launched their third and final reign, which lasted until SummerSlam 1990. | Challengers — became WWF Tag Team Champions | Won | — |
