The wrestling extravaganza - which took place at the venue in New Orleans on Sunday generated an impressive $14.1 million, beating the previous record of $10.9 million set by WrestleMania 30 in 2014 as over 78,000 people from over 67 countries descended on the venue.
The final of the WWE Cruiserweight tournament, which crowned a new champion, featured Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali. But the former UFC Champion looks to have melted the animosity and now is on the fast track to being one of the more popular Superstars in the company. In an incredible display of athleticism and aerial skills, Alexander scored the win, enjoying his first "WrestleMania moment".
"I got a couple ideas that I'm working out for Sunday that I think people are really going to dig", said Balor before the event, adding in an Instagram post that "everyone deserves to be accepted and included". It saw some memorable spots, an alliance of NXT stars, and a memorable finish with Bayley throwing out Sasha Banks and appearing to get the win, only for Naomi to rush in and eliminate Bayley to win the whole thing. Also in the two battle royals, Naomi won the first ever WrestleMania women's battle royal and Woken Matt Hardy won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, lastly eliminating Baron Corbin when Bray Wyatt made a shocking appearance, helping Hardy capture the trophy. And had it closed the show, no one would have complained.
I was as excited about this match as nearly anything on the card, and it lived up to my expectations. The ending was particularly shocking when Charlotte made the undefeated Asuka tap out to retain her title before a show of respect after the match. Flair kept the Smackdown title. The build-up to this year's Reigns-Lesnar match feels similar to the lead-in to Wrestlemania 31, and that bout ended up being one of the best, most surprising Wrestlemania main events thanks to Seth Rollins' exciting cash-in of his Money In The Bank contract. Worth going out of your way to see.

Everything it needed to be and more.
"When I first met with Triple H, I told him, 'There are other things I can do with my time that'll make way more money, but I won't enjoy almost as much'". It was an impressive debut by the former UFC Bantamweight Champion, Rousey is looking to accomplish big things in the WWE like she did in MMA.
A ideal example of a match in which smoke and mirrors were essential to its overall quality, it portrayed Rousey as an absolute badass in her first professional wrestling match.
