WrestleMania X-Seven was the seventeenth annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view produced by the World Wrestling Federation. It took place on April 1, 2001 and emanated from the Reliant Astrodome in Houston, Texas. The record-breaking attendance for the Reliant Astrodome of 67,925 resulted in gross receipts of $3.5 million USD.

WrestleMania X-Seven is considered as the event that concluded the Attitude Era for the World Wrestling Federation and the pinnacle of the 1990s wrestling boom. The tagline for WrestleMania X-Seven was Houston... We Have A Problem. The theme song for the event was "My Way" by Limp Bizkit.

The commentators for the event were Jim Ross and Paul Heyman. The Spanish language commentators were Carlos Cabrera and Hugo Savinovich. The guest commentators for the Gimmick Battle Royal were Gene Okerlund and Bobby Heenan. Howard Finkel served as the ring announcer for the event.

Notes

  • This event marked the second time that the WrestleMania main event featured The Rock and Steve Austin (the first was at WrestleMania XV, and a third at WrestleMania XIX).
  • This event holds the record for most title changes at a single WrestleMania with 5. The WWF Championship, Tag Team Championship, Women's Championship, European Championship and Hardcore Championship titles all changed hands.

  • Motörhead performed "The Game" during Triple H's ring entrance. Motörhead would appear again at WrestleMania 21 to perform the same theme song for Triple H's ring entrance.
  • This WrestleMania took place only about a week after the World Wrestling Federation announced the purchase of long time rival promotion WCW.
  • This is the only WrestleMania whose title included a combination of a Roman numeral and a number being spelled out as a word (rather than using purely Roman or Arabic numerals).
  • This was the first WrestleMania logo to make use of the font Bodega Sans.
  • Bobby "The Brain" Heenan called his first WrestleMania match in 8 years alongside "Mean" Gene Okerlund when the two called the Gimmick Battle Royal.
