The Highlights: WrestleMania 32 was far from what it could have been and many fans cited it as one of the worst installments in several years, but if nothing else, the next night's exhilarating episode of Raw more than made up for it.

You had to know the night would be one to remember when when Shane McMahon was given the reins to Raw at the start of the show (despite losing to The Undertaker at WrestleMania), which gave the flagship show a fresh feel for the first time in years. The Wyatt Family turned face, Apollo Crews and Enzo Amore & Big Cass debuted, The Miz regained the Intercontinental Championship with help from his returning wife Maryse, and Cesaro came back to take part in a fantastic Fatal 4-Way in the main event that was won by AJ Styles. The strong streak of phenomenal post-'Mania shows remained intact.

The Low Points: Baron Corbin was another exciting addition to the Raw roster on this show, though his match with Dolph Ziggler was fairly forgettable and the crowd couldn't have cared less. Sasha Banks' match with Summer Rae was also inconsequential, but otherwise, this was basically what WrestleMania should have been.
