Good Wrestlemania after two disappointing PPV before this. There's 3 new champions crowned in this event, i predict Bryan and Rollins will be headline while they defend the title. Another superstar that will come up this year depend on this PPV is Mizdow and Cesaro and of course Reigns.

I give score for this PPV 8/10, WWE need more PPV like this in the future.
