List of WrestleMania XIV Championship Matches and Title Changes

WWF World Heavyweight Championship — TITLE CHANGE

Steve Austin defeats Shawn Michaels — New Champion | Time: 20:02

Steve Austin's WWF Championship victory over Shawn Michaels in the main event of WrestleMania XIV — with Mike Tyson counting the winning fall — was one of the most significant title changes in the event's history. Austin's first championship reign launched the Attitude Era's most commercially successful period. Michaels' subsequent four-year absence from competition transformed WM14's championship match into what appeared to be his permanent farewell — making Austin's victory a changing of the guard that felt genuinely final in the moment. Michaels' reign had lasted 147 days from his Montreal Screwjob win at Survivor Series 1997. Austin's first reign lasted until Breakdown: In Your House on September 27, 1998.

WWF Tag Team Championship — TITLE CHANGE (Dumpster Match)

Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie defeat New Age Outlaws | Time: approx. 10:25

Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie won the WWF Tag Team Championship in the Dumpster Match against the New Age Outlaws — both champions physically placed inside the dumpster with the lid closed for the decisive finish. The victory was one of WM14's most crowd-pleasing title changes. The reign was brief — the Outlaws regained the titles the following night on Raw, when Billy Gunn and Road Dogg locked the new champions inside the dumpster and rolled it out of the arena before the match began.

WWF Light Heavyweight Championship — Taka Michinoku Retains

Taka defeats Aguila | Time: 8:30

Taka Michinoku retained the inaugural WWF Light Heavyweight Championship against Aguila with his Michinoku Driver. The Light Heavyweight division's WrestleMania presence gave the championship welcome visibility.

WWF European Championship — Triple H Retains

Triple H defeats Owen Hart with Chyna's assistance | Time: 9:00

Triple H retained the European Championship with decisive Chyna interference — denying Owen Hart the satisfaction of retaking a title he had legitimately won and had stripped through DX's political machinations.

WWF Intercontinental Championship — The Rock Retains by Reverse Decision

Rock retains after Shamrock DQ'd for refusing to release ankle lock | Time: 9:28

The Rock retained the Intercontinental Championship after referee Earl Hebner reversed the decision — Shamrock had made Rocky tap to the ankle lock but refused to release the hold after the bell. The reverse DQ gave The Rock a fortunate retention that fit perfectly with his character's slippery, advantage-seeking personality.
