SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
WWE WrestleMania 32 Live Report
April 3, 2016
Arlington, Tex. at AT&T Stadium
– After WrestleMania went off the air, Roman Reigns’s music stopped playing. Loud boos then filled the stadium as Reigns left the ring to celebrate with his family in the crowd. Reigns left to the back with his daughter as the crowd continued to boo.
To less fanfare as the fallen champion, Triple H greeted his family members in the crowd after the match, too. Meanwhile, Stephanie continued to sell pain on the floor after taking the fictional inadvertent spear from Reigns.
While the show was still on the air, WWE turned up Reigns’s music to a “deafening level” for his celebration ending the show. The crowd booed as soon as his music stopped.
– AT&T Stadium often displayed “audience cues” on the video scoreboard. They also counted along with Brock Lesnar’s suplexes on the big screen.
– Family members of the wrestlers cycled through the “Friends & Family” section of the seats on the hard camera side. Reigns’s dad celebrated off-camera when Reigns won, while Shane McMahon’s kids remained on the front row throughout the second-half of the show.
Included was Chris Jericho’s family cycling through to celebrate his victory over A.J. Styles.

The audience queues were ridiculous, and began to get booed during the Divas match. On at least three different occasions prior to the Reigns match, crowd noise was pumped in. Very WCW esque. The live crowd did respond very well to the show, except for the main event, which was dull. The post match Reigns boos were very, very loud.
