Every Stone Cold Steve Austin WrestleMania Match RANKED

6. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWF Championship – WrestleMania 14

The culmination of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s journey to the top of the industry came at WrestleMania 14.

On that night, the Texas Rattlesnake faced the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels for the WWF Championship.

This was a crucial period for the company and the buildup was incredible with Mike Tyson serving as special enforcer for this match.

Tyson would have growing animosity with Austin, while also joining Shawn’s D-Generation X stable.

Michaels was battling an injured back suffered a few months before, but the main event was still well wrestled and told an effective story.

Stone Cold overcame interference from DX and reversed Sweet Chin Music to hit the Stone Cold Stunner for the win.

This marked Austin’s first WWF Championship reign and kicked off the company overcoming WCW in the ratings war.
