Wrestlemania 36 was a unique event to say the least. The Covid-19 paralyzed the world and has postponed or cancelled all major sporting events in the world: except for Wrestlemania. In the make-believe world of Pro-Wrestling, the show must go on. Thus, even without the adrenaline rush of 80,000 people roaring and the majestic stage presentation, Wrestlemania went on and we got a very different event.
Wrestlemania 36 had some advantages as well. The taped nature of the event assured that we got some unbelievable matches, including the boneyard match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles which main evented night one and the psychological Firefly Funhouse battle between ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt and John Cena, which saw them wearing the boots for some of their past gimmicks.
While The Undertaker defeated Styles, Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre won the World Championships from Goldberg and Brock Lesnar respectively, the likes of Bayley and The Street Profits retained their championships. Wrestlemania 36 was a different kind of an event, but a success nonetheless. WWE didn’t mess up the event and produced a great show in spite of all the problems plaguing them.
Twitter has gone absolutely crazy about the one-of-a-kind event. Let’s check out some of the best of the tweets:

Still so proud of everyone for pulling off what was, in my opinion, the most important #Wrestlemania ever. When the world needed it most, everyone at @WWE delivered.
