Overall, very great show. Loved it a lot. In my view: Better than 30. Better than 31. MUCH better than 32.

AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon - Excellent opening match. Shane over delivered here and... do I even have to say what A.J. is?
9/10 - This would've been my match of the night had it not been for...

Kevin Owens vs. Chris Jericho - The chemistry was great. The storytelling was excellent. Some very memorable spots too: (Jericho slapping on the Walls barely a minute into the match. Owens putting the Walls on Chris himself. Chris countering the Pop Up Powerbomb into the Codebreaker.) Awesome match. Best one on the card for me. 9.5/10

Bayley vs. Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax - It was a solid match that could've been much better. The biggest positive of this match was that Nia looked like a total monster. Even though she was the first one out, you could not book a person better than they did here. Great stuff. Then it went downhill after that. The eliminations of Sasha and Charlotte happened too quick: Just when they were each getting going. Overall, the match was too short for a Fatal 4 Way and it shouldn't have been a 4 Way to begin with. I still maintain that the RAW Women's Title match should've been: One on One: Bayley and Sasha. I thought for sure that Sasha was turning heel tonight and stealing the title from Bayley, but I guess not. 8/10

Fatal 4 Way Tag Team Ladder Match- HOLY SHIT! THE HARDYS ARE BACK!!!!!!! And that's about it. This was a case where the Moment was bigger than the Match itself. It was still a good match overall, though. Now, I'm just wondering what the deal is with the Broken gimmick. 8.5/10

John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. Miz and Maryse - I knew going in that the build up was going to be much greater than the match, given the people involved. No disrespect to any of the 4 people in the ring, but Maryse hadn't wrestled in years, Nikki isn't that good to begin with, and the last time Cena and Miz faced each other at WrestleMania, it was the worst Main Event in the show's history. And honestly, the predictable outcome hurt this match too. We all knew Cena and Nikki were going over, as much as we didn't want to. Good for Nikki to get her moment like that, but now we must have a moment of silence for Miz and Maryse......... 7/10

Seth Rollins vs. Triple H - I thought this match took a little too long and the pacing was a little slow for my liking. It picked up towards the end, the storytelling was great, and seeing Stephanie go through a table was oh so deliciously satisfying! Thank God that Rollins evaded the Shovel and went over. Now, the fallout will be interesting to see. 8.9/10

Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt - That was it?! Your WWE Championship match, with your Royal Rumble winner, with a deep story behind it... And 10 minutes is all you've got?! This is what happens when you try to cram everybody on the card instead of sticking to big and important storylines. It was at this point where the show started going downhill. The match itself was forgettable, and I feel so bad for Bray. 6.5/10

Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg - This is what their first match at WrestleMania XX should've been! Short, straight to the point, with both guys beating the piss out of each other! Excellent stuff! 9/10

Six pack Women's Championship match - Incredibly disappointing. Once again, a victim of constrained time and trying to cram everyone on the card. Happy for Naomi, but it didn't feel as special as it should have. 6/10

Roman Reigns vs. The Undertaker - This... was incredibly sad to watch. The match itself was sloppy. It was clear that Taker didn't have anymore and he was no longer The Phenom we all knew and loved. Just heartbreaking to witness. But, the post match fallout... something that will be remembered forever and wrestling fans will remember exactly where they were when it happened... I'm gonna miss him a lot. Thank you, Undertaker. Thank you, for everything.
Actual match - 6.5/10. Post match - ...I'm sorry, I'm too emotional right now to give it a grade.

Overall, 8.5/10
