WrestleMania 32 has come, and gone. I’m certain that many
walked away feeling as though they saw some great things, as well as some
stupid things. Probably leaning more towards the latter, but we will discuss
that as we go along.
Ignoring the pre-show, we will discuss the very first match
of the main show. We kicked off with the 7-man ladder match for Kevin Owens’
Intercontinental Championship vs. Sami Zayn, Stardust, The Miz, Zack Ryder,
Dolph Ziggler, and Sin Cara. It was a match filled with spots, but each one
executed perfectly. Every single spot was timed and performed to tell a greater
story. There were multiple falls off of the ladders. We saw Ryder & Ziggler
get crotched and guillotined respectively. We saw Sin Cara land on the ropes
and springboard into a flipping senton onto the competition on the outside, as
well as adjust mid-air to splash through Stardust who was prone on a ladder
draped across the ring and barricade. Then we saw the two falls most important
to the story as Zayn was guillotined and Miz was shoved off.
Kevin Owens With A Five-Star To Sami Zayn |
The match also had a bunch of great feats of athleticism.
The two that stand out most were Sami Zayn’s rope flip through the ladder and Kevin Owens’ perfect springboard onto the
turnbuckle leading to a Five-Star Frog Splash onto Sami Zayn on a ladder.
Zack Ryder Celebrates With His New Intercontinental Championship |
Walking away from this match as your new Intercontinental Champion is Zack Ryder – a man very few of us
thought would walk out the winner.
Then we went into Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles. This match
told a great story. There were high spots. The two worked their knowledge of
each other brilliantly. Granted they recycled the finish, it was still executed
perfectly, and while Styles could have benefited from the win, he was not hurt
in this defeat.
Following that was New Day vs. the League of Nations. New
Day entered in a 20-foot box of BootyO’s and got pops. The match itself was
okay, but nothing to really brag about. Big E almost killed himself again with
the dive through the ropes. Xavier Woods looked strong until the numbers game
gave “the Lads” the advantage and ultimately the win. Following the match, the
LoN talked trash about how no three-men in history could stand up to the
numbers game. Full-blast on HBK’s music in full gear, followed by Mick Foley
dressed as Cactus Jack, and then bring out the face of professional wrestling,
Stone Cold Steve Austin. A can of whoop ass was opened. New Day got the three
to dance, but Austin quickly dropped Xavier Woods on that stack of dimes he
calls a neck with a Stone Cold Stunner and enjoyed some Steveweisers (the real
ones).
After that we got Brock Lesnar vs. Dean Ambrose in a No-DQ
street fight. In a match that had a build to go extreme, we did not see very
much of that. In fact, much of the match was Brock Lesnar doing everything he
could to keep weapons out of the equation. Thirteen suplexes (a few on chairs)
and an F-5 later, the match was over. No blood. Few weapons. Very quick. It did
not live up to the hype we, and the WWE, built.
The New WWE Women's Championship |
In the pre-show, WWE HOF Woman Lita introduced the WWE Women’s
Championship and the rebranding of the Diva’s Division as the Women’s Division.
So now it was time for the Women’s triple threat match to crown the “first ever”
WWE Women’s Champion. This was the match of the night, and it was not close at
all. The match was presented as a big deal from the entrances on. Becky Lynch’s
was the least spectacular but still a bigger deal than most of the women who
have worked for the company as she had a massive smoke pyro all the way down.
Sasha Banks was escorted by her cousin—WWE Hall of Famer—Snoop Dogg after he
performed a mashup of his own lyrics to her entrance theme. Then Charlotte was
escorted to the ring by her father—the Nature Boy Ric Flair—wearing a modified
robe from the robe that Ric wore during his retirement match entrance at
WrestleMania XXIV.
These three women gave everything they had in this match.
Even the one major botch (Sasha Banks’ sunset flip tower of doom spot) was fine
because it came off as a spot of aggressive determination with a
miscalculation. Sasha also botched on a suicide dive—which was almost
disastrous—but sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. Sasha was flipped
as her foot caught the rope, and Charlotte did her job as a competitor and a
friend and caught Banks. This turned a botched suicide dive and potential disaster
into an amazing between-the-ropes-flip attack which connected. Becky Lynch
tried repeatedly to lock in the DisArmer on Charlotte, who tried repeatedly to
lock in the Figure 8, and Sasha tried repeatedly to lock in the Bank Statement.
Sasha, who as wearing gear resembling and honoring the late
Eddie Guerrero even pulled out an incredible Frog Splash off the top rope to
break a Figure 4 that Charlotte had locked in on Becky. Becky took the
competition to SuBecks City. Charlotte even put it all on the line by throwing
caution to the wind with a moonsault off the top rope to the outside. In the
end, Charlotte got the upper hand, locking in the Figure 8 on Lynch and Ric
Flair held Sasha Banks out of the ring so she couldn’t break the hold while
Becky tapped out in the middle of the ring.
While I felt that Charlotte easily could have cheated on her
own for the heel heat to win, I understand Ric’s involvement. And in the end,
it establishes Sasha getting a shot at the new Women’s Championship where Ric
Flair will probably be banned from ringside. Or even better—hopefully it leads
to a Women’s Championship cage match.
After that, we got the Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon Hell in
a Cell match. There were spots galore. Weapons used. A toolbox. A laptop. A TV
monitor. The cage. Steel steps. A Sharpshooter to escape Hell's Gates. A trash can for Coast to Coast (which didn’t
hit clean but in the context of the story, it made sense). Shane had to pull
out all the stops to try and defeat The Undertaker, and that was as true as
ever when Shane incapacitated Undertaker on the announce table. Shane then went
climbing all the way to the top of the Cell. He prayed twice.
Shane leapt off for
an elbow drop. Undertaker moved. Shane McMahon should be dead. Taker carried
Shane back into the Cell and ring, and Shane taunted Taker into giving him a Tombstone.
Taker delivered and pinned Shane. Taker was seen looking at Shane after the
match as if he respected him more than anyone else. Undertaker even had tears
in his eyes. We’re not talking about the 18-foot Cell that Undertaker dumped
Foley from… we’re talking about a 20+ foot Cell that Shane jumped from. Shane
was carted to the back after the match beating his chest and putting his hand
in the air to signal to the crowd that he wasn’t dead.
Baron Corbin - The Third Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal Winner |
After this was the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
featuring Social Outcasts, Ascension, Tatanka, DDP, Mark Henry, Big Show, Shaq,
and the eventual winner from NXT—Baron Corbin. Great boost to this kid’s
career.
Bray Wyatt's Fireflies Light The Pitch-Black Stadium |
Following that was The Rock. Rock came out, touted the
record-breaking crowd, and then was interrupted by Bray Wyatt who entered the
arena was more fireflies than you ever could have seen. Rock was even shown
during Bray’s entrance looking into the crowd fascinated by the view. Rock
began making jokes about the Wyatt Family and then made it clear he wanted a
match, taking off his clothes and revealing his gear. Rock beat Erick Rowan in
6 seconds… a record for a WrestleMania match.
Afterwards, the Wyatt Family were
ready to attack when Cena’s music hit and he came out to make the save. The
Rock and Cena cleared the Wyatt Fam out of the ring and likely right out of
relevance in the WWE. One of the few decisions where Vince gave us the guy we
believed should have won, and it was the one I was most disappointed in. It
would have done something major if the Wyatt’s would have been able to decimate
The Rock on WrestleMania in front of 100,000 live and the millions watching at
home.
Roman Reigns Holds His Third WWE World Heavyweight Championship High |
The main event was everything we thought it was going to be.
A few spots. Roman Reigns drowning in deafening boos. Triple H’s theatrical
entrance. Stephanie McMahon was speared. Triple H went for the sledgehammer and
it never paid off for appearing. There was no blood despite all the talk and
the hype of those blood packs leading up to Mania. Roman Reigns got the win and
was booed relentlessly as the show went off the air.
I will probably go further in depth with my own personal
feelings later, but for now, this is my in-the-moment review.
