WrestleMania 32 was a huge professional wrestling event held by WWE. It was the 32nd time this yearly event, called WrestleMania, took place. It happened on April 3, 2016, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This was the third WrestleMania to be held in Texas.
WWE hoped WrestleMania 32 would set a new record for the most people at a wrestling event. They aimed for 100,000 fans at AT&T Stadium. At the event, WWE announced that 101,763 people were there. This number broke the record set by WrestleMania III in 1987, which had 93,173 fans. Some experts, like Dave Meltzer, thought the real number was closer to 93,730. Even with this lower number, it would still be a record for WrestleMania.
Twelve exciting matches happened at WrestleMania 32. Two of these matches made history! Charlotte went into her match as the WWE Divas Champion. After winning, she became the first WWE Women's Champion. The Divas title was then retired. Also, The Rock defeated Erick Rowan in just six seconds. This was the fastest match ever at WrestleMania! The old record was eleven seconds, set by Kane against Chavo Guerrero, Jr. at WrestleMania XXIV.
