2 Ups & 8 Downs From WWE WrestleMania 32

2. Rock Stars

WWE.com

It'd be over-generous to compliment The Rock for keeping his contest with Erick Rowan down to just six seconds on a card that desperately needed this type of squash, particularly when scouting the segment on WWE's official YouTube channel requires 22:36 of your time. And that's with some of Rock's flamethrower nonsense edited out of the start.

The final used and abused version of The Wyatt Family were buried hard by their run-in with 'The Great One' and 'The Champ' - so much so that injured Luke Harper probably felt grateful that he was nowhere near such a sh*t show.

Wyatt promised to kick a door down ahead of Rock's win over Rowan - yet again one was slammed in his face.
