Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that WrestleMania 32 had broken the WWE record for most of the tickets sold with at least 84,000 tickets sold. Forbes speculates that WrestleMania 32 can break the WWE 93,173 attendance record at WrestleMania III at Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan. The record stands as the highest attendance for any indoor event until the NBA All-Star Game 2010, which is also held at AT & T Stadium, drew 108,713. However, Dave Meltzer reported that the actual WWE attendance record prior to WrestleMania 32 was 1992 SummerSlam 79.127, and that the actual presence of WrestleMania III was about 78,000.
The five official theme songs for the show are "My House" (by Flo Rida), "Hello Friday" (by Flo Rida featuring Jason Derulo), "Hail to the King" (by Avenged Sevenfold), "Sympathy for the Devil" (by MotÃÆ'Â ¶rhead), and "Oh No" (by Goodbye June).

Meanwhile, Sting, Nikki Bella, and Tyson Kidd suffered a neck injury, with Kidd barely able to avoid paralysis or death and Sting was forced to retire. Daniel Bryan was also forced to retire due to a severe concussion.

Shoemaker also theorized the possible reasons for his first injury "an exhausting WWE schedule", and both "travel, fatigue, lack of offseason".
In March 2016, CNET wrote that WrestleMania 32 would see the culmination of "the greatest story in WWE", which "built the Roman Government as the most popular babyface". WWE's efforts to get the "recognition" government of names like Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena met the "toughest opponents" in the wrestling rink who started a "fan rebellion" against WWE's support of Reign, with more fans choose Dean Ambrose instead. COED agrees that Reigns, which WWE thinks "has great star power and appeal", was "rudely rejected" by ridicule by WWE audiences. To counter this trend, WWE has taken steps including silencing the crowd and emitting tin cheers during Reigns appearance in 2016. The A.V. Club commented that "WWE has a serious Roman Reigns problem", because "basically no one wants to see the Roman Government in the main event" of WrestleMania.

Main events
In the main event, Triple H defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns. The champion was introduced by his costumed wife Stephanie McMahon, who in the Game of Thrones style who insulted the audience for their "miserable life" and ordered all to bow to Triple H, which then made her grand entrance followed by Stephanie and a group of masked men dressed in black with a replica world title belt. After that, Reigns, the challenger, walks down the driveway to the ring.
After the reign took over the match, Stephanie distracted the referee, allowing Triple H to do a low blow and nose the Reigns target. The government did Spear through barricades in Triple H.

Reigns executed two Superman Punches in Triple H, dodging sledgehammer shots, and executed the third spear to win the championship for the third time. Various kinds of fireworks celebration was released.
Reception
As predicted by some critics before the show, Reigns (despite playing a heroic character) was booed by the WrestleMania crowd during the main event and when the show went off with him as champion, with drawing angry reactions. To appease angry people, WWE plays Triple H to the audience after the broadcast is over. The main event also sees people who are not interested in singing some wrestlers who are not involved in a match or storyline: Sami Zayn, Bayley, and Shinsuke Nakamura. Several reports have emerged from WWE that turned off the microphone of the crowd at WrestleMania during and after the main event when the Government was being ridiculed.
Reportedly, some participants were not happy about the entrance to AT & T Stadium; which he described as long and messy. On post-WrestleMania Raw , it was also held in Dallas but a day later, Vince McMahon asked the audience directly what they thought about WrestleMania 32. The crowd responded with derision and then scorned louder when Vince mentioned Reigns as the champion new world.
Attendance and revenue
On the day of the event, WWE claims the presence of 101,763 in AT & amp; T Stadium, which surpassed the previously claimed 93,173 WWE records for WrestleMania III in 1987. Also, WWE reported the $ 17.3 million bestselling event for WWE's highest-grossing live event, and exceeded the previous year's $ 12.6 million. However, journalist Dave Meltzer reported 93,730 as "the usual as-usual attendance for the show" with a total of 97,769 people in the stadium if one includes stadium personnel, WWE personnel, etc. Meltzer hooked in exaggeration because WWE did not want to let their fans down after WWE promoted "from scratch attract 100,000 people" to WrestleMania 32. Figures 93.730 will remain WWE's highest event, according to Meltzer, the previous record is SummerSlam 1992 event at 79.127, while WrestleMania III doing "over 78,000". Meanwhile, Meltzer supports the best-selling figure as "either accurate or very close".
In a conference call in February 2017, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon said, "We are proud to set a record of our attendance of over 100,000, which includes, by the way, the officers and ticket takers and all of that.Not 101,000 paid, but even so, that is a record for us. "
Reviews
WrestleMania 32 received mixed reactions from critics, who criticized the event for its long decisions and questionable decisions. Critics reviewing WrestleMania 32 and WWE NXT TakeOver: The Dallas show that took place two days earlier concluded that the NXT show was a very professional "professional wrestling" even though WrestleMania had more "spectacle"; also the NXT match (which debuted) Shinsuke Nakamura versus Sami Zayn is hailed as better than any moment or game from WrestleMania 32.
Troy L. Smith of
Paul Tamburro of CraveOnline writes that the event was characterized by "an inexplicable ordering decision that actively undermines all the development of the storyline", adding that "WWE routinely bends its fans by completing less exciting matches than expected". He denounced the HHH-Reigns main event as "a boring and slow-running game" and described the babyface reign impulse as "unreasonable" and "an embarrassing trial attempt for the company," with "the crowd still not given a reason to feel anything for people beyond poisonous ambivalence or hatred ". Tamburro is also critical of Shane McMahon-Undertaker's match, which he describes as "absolutely useless", and about booking Dean Ambrose, writes that "he lost to Lesnar in a disappointing way of putting great value". He criticizes more because the company relies too heavily on past stars, writes that "while applying these big names is fun, it still happens to the loss of the current talent on the list". Instead, Tamburro praised the Women's Championship game, calling it a "victory", and described Zack Ryder's unexpected victory as "a pleasant moment".
James Caldwell of Pro Wrestling Torch described this event as a "weird show". He rated the HHH-Reigns game 1.5 stars out of 5, questioning why "anyone would want to sit through this during the main event" and criticize the "ego of the McMahon family" for booking matches. Caldwell went on to describe the Government as "a pet project to be laughed out of this place in any other era". Caldwell chose not to judge Hell in a Cell match, describing it as a "strange deal" with "Shane McMahon, a non-wrestler against Undertaker in one of Wester's last games from Taker". The women's title game was rated 3 stars, "strong" apart from the finish, which puzzled Caldwell when it seemed "Mania is not a big enough event to pay Flair who repeats interference with a conquered face".
Nolan Howell of Canoe Sports described the show as "very strange, a strange ordering order and nothing seems to be settled at all, apart from the sudden Shane vs Undertaker story that can be tied up anytime". Howell wrote that while "the quality of the game is fine", the show was "spectacle without much substance". He described the second half of the show as a "creative train wreck", adding that "WWE can not do things right". Howell noted that when Reigns won the main event, "the mics audience [suspicious] did not take too much noise for the second or third time during the" game. Finally, Howell described the Women's Championship as a match that night.
Dave Scherer of the Pro Wrestling Insider commented on the response that WrestleMania was "superb", against that "unless you place the skeleton in place for the future, you will reach the point where most of your assets are gone and you will in a barren place ". It is a reference that "finished and character development (or lack thereof)" resulted in older stars (Rock, Austin, Foley, Michaels and Jericho) shining at the expense of new talent (Styles, The New Day, The League of Nations, and Wyatt's Family ). Scherer also criticized Vince McMahon for ignoring the "clear decree" of fans against Roman Government as world champion.
Scott Keith of Sporting News wrote that WrestleMania 32 "ended up working hard for five hours (seven hours with pregame show) and one of the worst WrestleManias when all was said and done". He writes that "Roman Reigns once again shows that he is not a top star even though Triple H does his best to get a 'classic' game from him, and Shane-Undertaker's match ends up being a 30-minute snoozese instead of the chaotic mess that everyone wants ". Keith praised the Women's Championship and Zack Ryder's game for his "WrestleMania moment".
Aaron Oster of Rolling Stone wrote that "fans watched a roller-coaster ride carrying the WWE Universe from the highest highs to the lowest lows.Before looking at the bad, it's good to point out that there are also a lot of good ones." However, Oster feels that while WrestleMania 31 tries to "serve disgruntled fans", WrestleMania 32 "feels like a six-hour effort to eliminate the same demo", especially the end of the show, which causes fans to feel "betrayed" after the "dream end" at WrestleMania XXX and 31.
In the Wrestling Observer 2016 award, WrestleMania 32 was voted "The Most Wrestling Show" this year.
Aftermath
Although Shane McMahon failed to control Raw with a loss to the Undertaker at WrestleMania 32, he was given control over the next four episodes of Raw also post-WrestleMania. The post-WrestleMania Raw on April 4 starts with Vince McMahon firing a crazy crowd, and boasting how no one has held him since he received the lockbox. Shane McMahon interrupted the handshake with Vince, then thanked the fans. Shane's jealousy supposedly outwitted him with the support of a strong fan, Vince allowed Shane to run Raw that night, as Vince (thinking that Shane would produce a "catastrophe") wanted to show the world how "silly" it would be.

Also at post-WrestleMania Raw , where commentators describe the crowd as mocking the people they ought to love, and encouraging the people they should boo, the new world champion Roman Reigns (repeatedly and deeply booed) declared him now "the man" and ready for title competitors. Four people answered the challenge: Chris Jericho, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn. The four of them quarreled, eventually leaving Jericho in the ring, where Reign attacked him. Shane McMahon then set up a fatal four-way match between the four to determine the next world champion. After Owens attacked Zayn backstage with the powerbomb through the table, Zayn could not compete, so Shane replaced him with Cesaro returning in a four-way game. Styles pinned Jericho to victory and became number one challenger.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that post-WrestleMania, the Roman Government became more "reactive" to the enemy crowd when "the camera was not there to catch it", this included "shouting back and swearing at vocal ringsiders". This contrasts with John Cena, who "will laugh and smile at those who scoff at him." The government was again booed at the next pay-per-view, Payback, where he again won on the main event. As soon as the broadcast for the show stopped, the Government reportedly turned to the crowd, shouting angrily at them. Meanwhile, WWE continues to try to hide hostile reactions to Reigns, editing fan alerts for photos on WWE.com for Payback's main event to remove the quote that ruled "boring".
