10 Live Observations From Attending WrestleMania 32

2. Wyatts Get Rocked

The Rock made his much-publicized WrestleMania appearance just before the show's main event, and of course, it was pretty damned cool. First, he shot a huge sign reading "ROCK" with a flame-thrower, then he announced a WWE attendance record, and finally, he was confronted by The Wyatt Family.

The fans loved every bit of The Rock's shtick, including his back-to-back insults and compliments toward Bray Wyatt. It was also a huge shock when The Rock said he was going to wrestle, but given that his official match with Erick Rowan only lasted six seconds, it didn't really feel necessary. When John Cena ran in to help The Rock take on the Wyatts after the bout, he actually got a mostly-positive response.

The Cena fan in me wishes that they would have done a tag (even if Rock was limited to a single move), just so Big Match John could continue his decade-plus streak of competing at WrestleMania. Still, at least he's back, and Erick Rowan gets to tell his grandkids he took on The Rock at WrestleMania, so that's pretty cool.
