The biggest PPV in WWE, "Wrestlemania," just transpired on Monday and the reception has been phenomenal, as always. The event's main highlights were the appearance of several legends that brought the house down. Also, it was the defining moment for some of WWE's upcoming stars like Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt and Baron Corbin among others.
The main event between Triple H and Roman Reigns was one for the ages as the latter, pegged as the next WWE cornerstone, took the title from The Game. However, fans are not so pleased with The Rabid Dog coming out victorious in the end.
Reigns, has been subject to constant criticisms and fans are letting him know about it. Apparently, the mere fact that the WWE are forcing fans to accept Reigns as the new face of the company does not feel right for its supporters, New Republic reported.
Also, the reason why fans are said to be less receptive is due to Reigns looking too unreal because of the push WWE are giving him, while there are other talents that simply captivates the crowd more effectively, the website added. Despite being well-regarded while he was still part of The Shield with Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, Reigns is now doing everything on his own, from talking to wrestling, and apparently, he is not doing that good at both departments according to critics.
Now, fans are letting the WWE know who they want as their champ. When AJ Styles won the match for the #1 contender match for the Heavyweight title last Tuesday on RAW, the fans gave him a standing ovation for five minutes and he is now on his way to facing Reigns in the next PPV, "Payback."
With how Styles is starting his career with the WWE, this was similar to the path Hulk Hogan took on his way to stardom the website noted. Back in the day, WWE is not too focused on producing their homegrown talents, unlike now.
Nevertheless, "Wrestlemania 32" was a huge success as they broke their record in gate attendance which is now at 101,763 attendees, 411 Mania reported. The record was previously at 93,173. Perhaps, the WWE could take some notes and give fans what they want in next year's "Wrestlemania." Here is The Rock on his way to announcing the groundbreaking record during the event.
