14. WrestleMania 32: Triple H Vs. Roman Reigns
We push the fast forward button from WrestleMania I to the most recent one that took place in front of a record-setting crowd of over 100,000 screaming WWE fans. The show desperately needed to be iconic with such a crowd and ultimately, it just wasn’t that well received (specifically because of the main event).
The ingredients of the matchup indicated that it was a big deal. The WWE labelled the encounter as a ‘passing of the torch’ type of match and one that was going to pave the way for a new era. Weeks leading up to the match, the plot seemed a little disappointing with promos that seemed to drag on for way too long. Some believed that Shane and The Undertaker were going to main event, but that was not the case.
Instead of making up for the lackluster build-up and going full throttle in the match, it was instead built way too slow and the crowd lost interest rather quickly. The bout was 27 minutes long and was a big snooze fest on a night that demanded so much more.
