The Rise of The New Era The night officially kicked off with a high-octane Intercontinental Championship rematch as Zack Ryder defended against The Miz. But the real story of the mid-card was the undeniable rise of Kevin Owens and the shocking debut of AJ Styles. Styles vs. Jericho was a clinic, marking the arrival of the "Phenomenal One" on the WWE stage. Seeing Styles perform on a WrestleMania card felt like a turning point for WWE’s in-ring style.
The Hardcore Violence WrestleMania isn't complete without a grudge match, and we got exactly that with Dean Ambrose vs. Brock Lesnar in a No Holds Barred Street Fight. While many criticized the ending (Ambrose taking the F5 onto a pile of chairs and losing), the brutality was real. It was a clash of styles—the Unstable Lunatic vs. The Beast Incarnate—that had the Texas crowd on the edge of their seats.
The Women’s Revolution Ignites In a historic pivot away from the "Divas" era, WrestleMania 32 featured a triple-threat match for the newly unveiled WWE Women’s Championship. Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch stole the show. These three women fought with a chip on their shoulder, determined to prove they belonged in a prominent spot. Charlotte walking out as the champion, with her father Ric Flair by her side, was a passing of the torch moment that legitimized the new Women's division.
The Hell in a Cell Masterpiece Arguably the match of the night, The Undertaker vs. Shane McMahon inside Hell in a Cell is an image burned into the minds of every fan. The narrative was simple: Shane wanted control of RAW, and he had to go through The Deadman to get it. The highlight? Shane O’Mac diving from the top of the Cell, crashing through an announce table. It was a terrifying, jaw-dropping spot that embodied the "risk it all" mentality of the business. Taker’s victory was inevitable, but Shane’s bravery won the night.
The Main Event: The Underdog and The Game The main event was perhaps the most polarizing match of the year. Roman Reigns vs. Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The crowd reaction was mixed—Roman was the chosen one, but the fans were resistant. Triple H, the veteran, played the villain perfectly. wwe wrestlemania 32 full show exclusive
Despite the crowd's complex relationship with Reigns, the match was a solid, methodical brawl. The outcome saw Roman Reigns finally slaying The King of Kings. The image of pyrotechnics exploding as Reigns held the title high was meant to be his coronation, closing a chapter on the Authority era.

One of the most highly anticipated matches of the evening was between Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair for the Women's Championship. The match was an instant classic, with both competitors delivering a stellar performance. Sasha Banks put on a phenomenal display of technical wrestling, but Charlotte's experience and cunning ultimately paid off as she managed to secure the win and retain her title.
Before the main card even began, the energy was palpable. The Ladder Match for the Intercontinental Championship saw Zack Ryder achieve the impossible.
