Theundercard featured the first-everMoney in the Bank ladder match, as well as two inter-promotional matches withRandy Orton vs.The Undertaker andKurt Angle vs.Shawn Michaels. The event also featured the return of"Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who then started his part-time appearances with WWE and also the final WrestleMania event thatEddie Guerrero competed in, going against his tag team partnerRey Mysterio; Guerrero died of heart failure in November later that year.
WrestleMania 21 was the first WrestleMania held at Staples Center, but the fifth to take place in theLos Angeles metropolitan area, after2,VII,XII, and2000). Tickets sold out in less than one minute for the event, making it the fastest ticket sell-out in the company's history at the time as well as the fastest ticket sell-out at Staples Center.[3][4] The event drew a Staples Center record attendance of 20,193 people from 37 countries and 50states andgrossed more than$7.1 million in ticket sales, making it the highest grossing WWE event ever at Staples Center. In addition to those in attendance, the event was seen by millions of fans in more than 190 countries.[5]
WrestleMania is consideredWorld Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) flagshipprofessional wrestlingpay-per-view (PPV) event, having first been held in1985. It has become the longest-running professional wrestling event in history and is held annually between mid-March to mid-April.[6] It was the first of WWE's original four pay-per-views, which includesRoyal Rumble,SummerSlam, andSurvivor Series, referred to as the "Big Four".[7] WrestleMania 21 was scheduled to be held on April 3, 2005, atStaples Center inLos Angeles,California, and featured wrestlers from theRaw andSmackDown!brands. It was the first WrestleMania held at Staples Center, but the fifth to take place in theLos Angeles metropolitan area, after2,VII,XII, and2000.[8]
In line with the event's location and tagline, WrestleMania 21 was promoted on television with a series ofparodymovie trailers with WWE talent playing the starring roles from famous movies.[9]
The parody movie trailers included:
Celebrity guests in attendance for WrestleMania 21 includedDavid Arquette,Motörhead,Adam Sandler,Rob Schneider,Billy Gibbons fromZZ Top,The Black Eyed Peas,Billy Corgan fromThe Smashing Pumpkins,Anthony Kiedis fromRed Hot Chili Peppers,Ice Cube,Carmen Electra,Sylvester Stallone,Marg Helgenberger,Matt Groening,Rick Rubin,Will Sasso, andMacaulay Culkin.[8]
AtNew Year's Revolution on January 9, Triple H won anElimination Chamber match to win the vacantWorld Heavyweight Championship by last eliminatingRandy Orton following outside interference fromEvolution members Batista and Ric Flair. Three weeks later at theRoyal Rumble, Triple H successfully defended the title against Orton while Batista won theRoyal Rumble match, earning the right to compete in the main event of WrestleMania 21 against the champion of his choice.[10] On the February 7 episode ofRaw, Triple H defeatedEdge to retain the World Heavyweight Championship due to Batista's interference. Afterward, as Batista raised Triple H's hand and his championship, Batista got a close look at the World Heavyweight Championship, then stared Triple H down, looking as if he was thinking about challenging Triple H for the title. In an attempt to persuade Batista to challengeWWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) rather than him at WrestleMania, Triple H concocted a scheme to have Batista run over by a limousine resembling the one used by JBL.[11] Initially, Batista did not want help from Evolution and wanted to confront JBL by himself. Triple H insisted that Evolution accompany Batista anyway, saving him from the oncoming limousine.[12] Batista became aware of the plot while eavesdropping on his fellow Evolution members and signed acontract guaranteeing him a match with Triple H at WrestleMania, thus leaving Evolution and officially turning himface.[11] Batista pretended to sign with the SmackDown! brand, giving Triple H and Flair the"thumbs up", but turned it into a "thumbs down" (alluding to the way Randy Orton was kicked out of Evolution after becoming World Heavyweight Champion atSummerSlam in August 2004) before attacking the pair. This led to Batista's departure from the stable.[11]
AtNo Way Out, John Cena defeated Kurt Angle to earn a spot in the SmackDown! main event at WrestleMania. During the latter event, John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) successfully defended the WWE Championship against theBig Show in aBarbed Wire Steel Cage Match.[13] As a result of Cena's win, he began a feud with JBL and hisCabinet. On the February 24 episode ofSmackDown!, JBL was hosting a party as a celebration in honor of his win. Before the party could get started, however, Big Show came out and interrupted the celebration and attacked JBL and the Cabinet. Soon after, Cena came down and smashed the portrait over JBL's head. Later that night, Cena and Big Show defeated JBL andOrlando Jordan.[14] The following week, JBL cut a promo on Cena, and insulted him, while Cena defended hisWWE United States Championship against Jordan.[15] Jordan won the match and the United States Championship after theBasham Brothers distracted the referee, and JBL hit Cena with the WWE Championship belt.[15] JBL then destroyed Cena's customized United States Championship belt and replaced it with the original one.[16] Later that night, Cena brought a steel lead pipe to the ring with him and ordered JBL to come out to the ring and fight him, only to have the SmackDown!General Manager,Theodore Long make his way to the ring and inform Cena that he had to wait until WrestleMania to get his hands on JBL. Cena then gave the ultimatum for Long to be part of a solution or part of the problem. Cena then stated, "Since you're not going to bring JBL out here, then you're part of the problem." Cena then nailed Long with anFU and was thrown out of the arena.[16] During JBL's match that night, Cena returned and attacked The Cabinet.[16] The next week, Long announced that if Cena laid a hand on JBL, apart from in matches, he would lose his WrestleMania match.[17] In asix-man tag team match that night, Cena and theWWE Tag Team Champions,Eddie Guerrero andRey Mysterio defeated JBL and the Basham Brothers, but Cena had to stop himself from attacking JBL after the bell had rung.[17] On the March 24 edition ofSmackDown!, Long clarified that if JBL physically provoked Cena, then Cena could retaliate.[18] Cena then attempted to provoke JBL, by vandalizing his limousine, cutting off his tie, pouring water into his hat and spray painting "FU" on his shirt.[18] He also said to JBL "You throw a punch and I swear I will knock the hell out of you" which JBL didn't make a move on Cena. On the lastSmackDown! before WrestleMania, however, JBL interrupted Cena's match againstCarlito and had Cenaarrested for vandalizing his limousine. Once Cena was handcuffed, JBL nailed him with a low blow and ended the show by mocking Cena with his signature "you can't see me" taunt.[19]
At the Royal Rumble, two months before WrestleMania,SmackDown! superstar Kurt Angle relentlessly attackedRaw superstar Shawn Michaels after Michaels had eliminated him from the Royal Rumble match.[10][20] The next month at No Way Out, Angle lost a number one contenders match toJohn Cena, losing a spot in the SmackDown! main event at WrestleMania.[21][22] The next night onRaw, Michaels toldSmackDown! General ManagerTheodore Long to inform Angle that he had challenged him to a match at WrestleMania.[23][24] On the February 28 edition ofRaw, after Michaels defeatedEdge in aStreet Fight, Angle attacked Michaels and accepted his challenge.[25][26] On the next episode ofSmackDown!, Michaels ambushed Angle in the ring, and the two of them brawled, until security broke it up.[15] Angle claimed that he was better than Michaels, and said he would prove it by achieving everything that Michaels had, but doing it faster.[16] He then won aladder match, mocking Michaels' match fromWrestleMania X.[16] He then challengedMarty Jannetty, Michaels former tag team partner to a match.[16] He won after Jannettytapped out.[17] Angle also persuaded Michaels' formermanager,Sensational Sherri to do a spoof of Michaels' theme song, "Sexy Boy", calling his version "Sexy Kurt".[18] Michaels, however, interrupted and played a video highlighting all his accomplishments.[18] When Sherri got emotional from watching the video, Angle put her in theAnkle Lock.[18] Angle also interfered in Michaels' match againstMuhammad Hassan on the last edition ofRaw before the pay-per-view, which resulted in Michaels defeating Hassan by disqualification.[27]
The other interpromotional match on the card was betweenRandy Orton and The Undertaker, with Orton representing Raw and Undertaker representing SmackDown!.[8] The feud first started on the March 7 episode ofRaw when Orton challenged Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania billed as "Legend vs. Legend Killer" match.[28][29] Orton had been inspired bySuperstar Billy Graham, who encouraged him to "go where no wrestler has gone before".[30] Three days later onSmackDown!, Undertaker accepted Orton's challenge.[31][32] On the March 14 episode ofRaw, duringChris Jericho's "Highlight Reel" segment,Jake "The Snake" Roberts, attempted to give Orton advice about his match with Undertaker at WrestleMania, but received anRKO by Orton when Orton was not cooperating.[33][34] On March 17, a contract signing for the match was scheduled to take place, and was attended by the SmackDown!General Manager,Theodore Long, and Raw General Manager,Eric Bischoff.[35][36] The Undertaker immediately signed the contract; however, before Orton signed the contract, hecut a promo on the Undertaker, stating that he has nothing but respect for him and then claimed that the legend of the Undertaker will become a myth when his 12–0 undefeated streak at WrestleMania, would soon be 12–1. Afterwards, he thenslapped the Undertaker. Orton fled the ring after the Undertaker began to fill the arena with smoke, and didn't sign the contract.[17][35][36] The next week onRaw, Orton claimed that his confidence was at an all-time high, despite what happened onSmackDown! the week before. Shortly thereafter, Ortonturnedheel and furthered hisLegend Killer gimmick by performing an RKO onStacy Keibler, who was his girlfriend at the time.[37][38] Orton taunted the Undertaker for the next couple weeks,[27][39] but the Undertaker responded with taunts of his own, as he attacked other superstars.[18] On the final SmackDown! before WrestleMania, Orton's father,"Cowboy" Bob Orton, begged the Undertaker to have mercy on Orton.[19] It ultimately proved to be a set-up, however, as Orton attacked the Undertaker and performed anRKO on him just to show an example of what could happen at WrestleMania when he faces the Undertaker.[19]
Another match on the card was theMoney in the Bank ladder match between Chris Jericho, Christian, Chris Benoit,Edge,Kane, and Shelton Benjamin. The idea for the Money in the Bank match was introduced by Jericho who proposed a six-manladder match,[26] for the event in which the winner would receive a contract for a World title match at the place and time of his choosing. RawGeneral Manager,Eric Bischoff, booked the match at WrestleMania 21 soon after.[29][40] According to Jericho, the first idea was a submission match between Edge, Jericho, and Benoit and a ladder match between the other wrestlers.[41]

In an interlude,Eugene came down to the ring and shared his excitement about being at his first WrestleMania with the crowd in attendance. While attempting to recall his favorite WrestleMania moments,Muhammad Hassan andDaivari interrupted him, with Hassan expressing his outrage for not being included in a match for the event. Hassan concluded that since he wasn't scheduled to compete at the event and was therefore denied the opportunity to experience his own WrestleMania "moment", he would have to create a "moment" of his own. Following this remark, Hassan and Daivari began to assault Eugene. With Eugene placed into aCamel clutch while Daivari verbally attacked him,Hulk Hogan came down to the ring, knocking Hassan and Daivari out of the ring.

In the climax, Batista wouldpin Triple H after aBatista Bomb to win the match and title.[42][43]
WrestleMania 21 received universally positive reviews from critics and fans. However, critics noted the matches for the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship were disappointing compared to the rest of the card. John Powell ofCanadian Online Explorer's professional wrestling section noted that "The changing of the guard that many people expected came with a whimper instead of a bang. In a total reversal from last year's show – where a largely mundane card was saved by the emotional title victories of Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero – this year's elevation of rising stars John Cena and Dave Batista had no such drama. Unable to live up to the high standards set by the Undertaker-Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels-Kurt Angle bouts, the "main events" offered the worst kind of anticlimax and would have been right at home buried in the middle of the card." He rated the entire event 7 out of 10 stars, which has a higher rating than theprevious year's event. The main event between Batista and Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship was rated 6 out of 10 stars, the match between John "Bradshaw" Layfield and John Cena was rated 5 out of 10 stars, the match between Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels received the highest rating of 9 out of 10 stars, the match between The Undertaker and Randy Orton and The Money in the Bank ladder match were rated 8 out of 10 stars.[44] Robert Leighty Jr. of411Mania gave the event an overall score of 7.0 out of 10.0 noted that "If the two Title matches would have delivered this would have gone down as one of the greatest WrestleMania's ever, but they didn't and that left a flat ending to the show. Everything up to Shawn/Angle is fantastic and things kind of close with a whimper. Still, this is a historic show as it cemented the rise of Batista/Cena/Orton as Main Event players. It also has two great matches with Shawn/Angle and Money in the Bank. Definitely a good WrestleMania, but it could have been much more."[45] J.D. Dunn of411Mania response towards WrestleMania 21 was also positive. He stated that "this was on its way to being every bit as good as last year's Mania" but like most of the other critics who thought the main events were disappointing also said that "then it hit a wall in the last 90 minutes." He later stated that "If this were a regular PPV with the Michaels vs. Angle match being the main event, this would be one of the greatest PPV's ever. Unfortunately, it drags on after that and limps to a finish." Although he praised the booking of the event saying that, "they made all the right moves booking-wise, so while the matches weren't great, they still have a certain historic value."[46]
The match between Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels would go on to win the2005 Pro Wrestling Illustrated match of the year award.[47] In 2019, WWE named it the fifth best WrestleMania match of all time.[48]Dave Meltzer gave the match 4 and 3/4 stars out of 5.[49] Angle himself has called it "the greatest match of all time."[50] The match was the subject of an episode of WWE Untold in 2020.[51]
The Sumo match between the Big Show and Akebono was universally panned withDave Meltzer giving it no stars, and it has frequently topped lists for worst WrestleMania matches and worst matches in overall.[52][53][54] Reflecting on the match in 2018, Big Show said that he believed it was the "most embarrassing moment in wrestling."[55]
For the Staples Center's 10th anniversary in 2009, WrestleMania 21 was ranked number 7 on the list of greatest moments in the venue's history as voted by fans.[56][57]
Batista and Triple H's feud would continue toBacklash where Batista and Triple H had a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship. Batista won the match after aBatista Bomb.[58] Following that, the two concluded their storyline atVengeance where Batista scored the third and final win over his former mentor insideHell in a Cell.[59] Shortly thereafter, Batista was drafted to the SmackDown! brand, ending their feud and taking the title with him to his new brand, while Triple H went on hiatus. 14 years later, atWrestleMania 35, Triple H (as a face) would defeat Batista (as a heel) in aNo Holds Barred match with Triple H's career on the line, which also was Batista's last match as an in ring competitor as he would retire shortly after.[60]
John Cena and John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) continued to feud untilJudgment Day, where they faced off in an"I Quit" match for the WWE Championship, which Cena won. Shortly after, Cena was drafted to Raw, ending their feud and taking the title with him.[61]
Edge would hold on to his Money in the Bank briefcase until the following year atNew Year's Revolution, where he cashed in the briefcase on John Cena after Cena just competed in an Elimination Chamber match, to retain his WWE Championship.
Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle would continue their feud and face off again atVengeance with Michaels picking up the win.
