Notes:


  • Hulk Hogan opened the show with a promo.
  • John Cena reprised his Dr. Of Thuganomics gimmick for a spot with Elias.
  • Ali suffered a bad bump when eliminated from the Andre match. He hit his face off the announce desk after hitting the floor.
  • WWE leaked the result of the WWE title match on their website. They released a tee to mark Kofi's win before the match had ended.
  • A light malfunctioned during the Orton / AJ match and shone on full beam into a section of the crowd, causing visibility issues for the fans sitting there.
  • There were complaints about some seats. One fan saying his $320 dollar seat was obstructed for 3/4 of the ring.
  • A walkout happened during the main, apparently as protest of the women having the match, but others have noted tiredness at the length of the show caused them to leave early, and disassociated themselves from any such incident.
  • There was a big traffic issue outside of the stadium after the show. Many fans were stood in extremely long lines and in terrible rain for buses and trains and a severe traffic jam meant it took hours for people to get out of the area. Uber have been criticised for taking advantage of the situation, with some of their drivers charging hundreds of $ to pick people up from the crowd.
  • A fan proposed to his girlfriend during the show, and another couple got married in the crowd before the show, by an official dressed as a ref, they were in Ric Flair and Ronda Rousey costumes.
  • A UK fan in the stadium got some attention on local news here after holding up a sign calling for his football teams manager to be fired. He was referring to Middlesbrough's Tony Pulis.
  • Ronda Rousey reportedly broke her hand in the main. AJ also took a knock, and has been pulled from lives as a result.
  • The finish of the main was not botched, it was planned that way by Vince, to give Rousey an immediate return angle whenever she is ready to come back.
  • Curt Hawkins losing streak is over.
  • Michael Cole announced Mania for a record 18th time.
  • Ember Moon and Harper returned from injury in the BR's.



Retirement:


Batista has announced that his loss last night was the last match of his career.


Feud settled:


Big E. has accepted Hulk Hogan's apology for his racist comments. The two men sat together at Mania and talked frankly about their feelings on the matter.


Raw tease:



  • The Man brings the Raw and SmackDown Women's Titles to Raw
  • Seth Rollins slays The Beast
  • The Big Dog reclaims his yard from Drew McIntyre
  • Second Intercontinental Title is "too sweet" for Finn Bálor
  • The (Defeated) Streak ends for new RAW Tag Team Champion Curt Hawkins



HOF attack:


Zachary Madsen appeared in court today for his attack on Bret Hart at the HOF ceremony. He told the court he had been waiting for the right moment to do something and that "I just felt like it was the right moment" when Bret and Nattie were accepting inductions. He was given restraining orders from WWE, Bret and the security guard he hurt and put on a $1,500 bail bond. No-one came forward to pay it, so he still sits in a jail cell.

He is also due in court next week in his home state of Nebraska for stalking a local MMA fighter. 


Vince killed rival:


It has been revealed that AAF asked XFL for a merger, shortly before the American football league folded. Vince refused.
