The biggest WrestleMania in history brought major change to the WWE championship picture.
In WWE, champions reign supreme, and at WrestleMania 40, six of the main roster’s nine titles switched hands at the two-day event in Philadelphia. There are stars all over the WWE roster, but the ones that are held in the highest regard are the ones that secure titles. Legends like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena made names for themselves by capturing championship belts.
