I remember at one point asking can you imagine if all 3 of them won and I honestly didn't expect it. I figured at best we'd get Kofi/Becky with Brock retaining but they gave us all 3. Truly a feelgood Wrestlemania.

I believe it's also a 12-4 margin for face wrestlers on the evening, too. Only Shane (even though he got destroyed), IIconics, Samoa Joe, and Baron Corbin won. Plus even though the heels won the Women's Tag Titles, it was still a feel good moment. They seemed to be legit happy. |

Like I've been calling for a few weeks now; WWE needed a clean sweep and very face-heavy booking to try and make for a show people could feel good about, because they're really not doing great with viewers and confrontational booking will only drive them off faster.

WM35 seemed like the apex of that “we’re giving you what you want/you’re The Authority now” speech from last December. |

Honestly right now this is kind of a TLC 2011 level of feel-good champs. The only heel champs on the main roster are Joe and the IIconics and even then they're beloved.

So happy. Can't ever remember an event where EVERYONE I wanted to win actually won.

This is one of those times where trudging through the disappointments in booking was completely worth it. You can't always give the fans everything they want all at once, but they did so last night in the absolute right way

Not only did we get all 3, we got bonus Iiconics and Vintage Joe Squash too.

This felt like it could be a reset for the WWE. All babyfaces win, all new champions (except for Joe and the Usos). Perhaps this is the start of that "we're listening to the fans" thing that was promised months ago.
All the title changes were feelgood moments, and for the Universal and Women's Titles, they signified a departure from the previous norms - Brock finally loses the belt, and the women appear to be getting unified titles.
No idea whether any of this will hold as long as Raw, but it definitely felt significant at the end of Wrestlemania.

Never thought for a second that all 3 would win the titles, as Vince likes to have at least one heel retain.

Thank you WWE for giving us the three pack. I didn't expect it but the fact you did? I give you props. Props for days. With minor exceptions, we got everything we wanted and the matches were all we hoped for. Feels pretty darn good to be a wrestling fan, exactly what you should feel after WrestleMania. Exhausted for what you got through, but can’t wait to see where they go from here. |

Usually the latter doesn't quite hold up its end of the bargain, but this time, it stood up to the mighty Takeover juggernaut and might have even topped it in relation to emotional investment and returns for said emotional investment. |

Lots of Manias were actually better to experience in some ways than history will show them as being - like 32 having some good matches with the wrong people going over.
This one, the match quality wasn't amazingly high, but for individual moments of wins and losses it'll look great in highlight reels.
I can't believe all three of the right people went over.
