10 Reasons WrestleMania 32 Changed Everything
9. What You Know, You Don't
To say that wrestling fans have a tendency to think they know everything that will unfold on any given broadcast is an understatement of massive proportions. They are quick to say they know exactly what will happen, when it will happen. They know who will win, how it will affect storylines going forward and who will or will not interfere in any given match.
They just know.
Except, when they don't.
This year's WrestleMania proved to fans that what they know, they don't actually know.
Were it not for a late-day betting line, no one would have believed that perennial jobber Zack Ryder would rise to the occasion, winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship and enjoying the WrestleMania moment he has spent his career chasing.
It was a certainty that AJ Styles would beat Chris Jericho, that Sasha Banks would become the WWE women's champion and The Wyatt Family would get involved in the Street Fight between Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose.
But none of those things happened.
At a time when the company takes unnecessary flack for their predictability, they went the complete opposite direction, announcing to the over-confident fans that their days of knowing, or thinking they know, are over.
