10 Reasons WrestleMania 32 Changed Everything

8. Logic Is Irrelevant

One way in which Wrestlemania 32 changed everything for WWE is the complete and utter abandonment of storyline logic.

Remember when Shane McMahon came back and promised to take control away from The Authority and make wrestling fun again, if for no other reason than the fact that the WWE product sucked?

Yeah, he lost. With his defeat comes a return to the stale, awful wrestling show fans had been subjected to prior to his comeback.

Sounds like a thrilling way to payoff that angle, right?

How about the fact that the incredibly over New Day, who received one of the biggest reactions of the night, was sacrificed to put over a League of Nations faction who could not possibly have been greeted with any greater apathy than they were?

Then there was Dean Ambrose, whose journey we all followed leading up to the WrestleMania, cheering him on in hopes that he would finally score that definitive victory and establish himself as a credible and legitimate main event attraction. Would he slay The Beast?

Nope. He was pretty much squashed.

The satisfying outcomes that one would expect given the stories told leading into the show never came, leaving fans somewhat underwhelmed.

WrestleMania 32 as a cable drama in terms of a logical and satisfactory conclusion?

Dexter.

And that's not a good thing.
