This year, WrestleMania in its usual form was compromised as the first WWE pay-per-view after the outbreak of COVID-19. WWE had to significantly adapt, presenting the biggest show of the year from the Performance Center. Also, it was spread across two nights to avoid the problem of fans sitting through over five hours of empty arena wrestling in a row.

The layout was smartly done, with the perfect balance of matches on both nights. We saw countless 'Mania moments across Night 1 and Night 2, both in the ring and in other cinematic settings.

Night 1 may have had more of the fun in-ring action, as Kevin Owens jumped from a huge WrestleMania sign onto Seth Rollins and John Morrison won a highly entertaining triple threat ladder match. Becky Lynch's brawl with Shayna Baszler was intense but short. But the true magic of WrestleMania Saturday came through the Boneyard match.

The Undertaker put on a spectacular effort against AJ Styles, as the two crafted an entertaining match that played on a multitude of 'Taker's characteristics. It was a very exciting watch, as was the Firefly Fun House Match from Night 2.

'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt finally got his revenge on John Cena in what was an in-depth study on various plot points of Cena's career. There were so many layers to this match, coupled with inside jokes that would please the hardcore WWE fans.

WrestleMania Sunday also saw some big moments, like Charlotte Flair winning the NXT Women's Championship after a fantastic match with Rhea Ripley, Otis, and Mandy Rose finally getting together, and Edge gaining a brutal Last Man Standing victory over Randy Orton.

The overall main event of WrestleMania 36 saw Drew McIntyre defeat Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Championship, capping off a successful weekend of WrestleMania magic. The circumstances may have been vastly challenging, but WWE came up with two highly entertaining nights of action and storytelling.
