Every WWE WrestleMania Rematch Ranked From Worst To Best
This is every WWE WrestleMania 40 rematch ranked from worst to best
To paraphrase a certain Mr. F. Gump, “Sequels are like a box of chocolates - you never know what you’re gonna get”.
For every Empire Strikes Back, there’s a Speed: Cruise Control. For every Godfather Part 2, there’s a Godfather Part 3. Heck, even the book Forrest Gump was based on had a subpar follow-up.
Is nothing sacred?
The same goes for wrestling, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the history of WrestleMania. The Granddaddy of Them All has seen several do-overs, some of which are legendary, others utterly repulsive.
Let’s find out which is which.
For this list, a “rematch” is counted as any match where all the participants are exactly the same as in a previous encounter. For example, John Cena and The Miz facing off in a mixed tag match at WrestleMania 33 does not count as a rematch from their Mania 27 main event.

19. Shane McMahon vs. The Miz - WrestleMania 39
There is a massive asterisk next to this one, but we couldn’t leave it off the list, because it was just so damn funny.
On the second night of WrestleMania 39, The Miz was complaining to co-host Snoop Dogg about the rapper springing a surprising opponent on him, Pat McAfee, the night before.
Instead of apologising, Snoop played the same trick again, announcing that Miz had yet another impromptu match in the offing. Who was his opponent this time? Shane McMahon.
These two had previously tussled at WrestleMania 35, in a surprisingly decent Falls Count Anywhere match featuring a run-in from Miz’s Dad. This time, however, things would not run so smoothly.
During what should have been a relatively simple sequence, Shane legitimately tore his quads, which led to an on-the-fly decision to have Snoop take his place. After hitting the worst People’s Elbow ever, Dogg got the win.
