Powell’s POV: I’m out. I’ll keep an eye on it just in case, but this was more of a “look how great WrestleMania was and how much media attention it received” show than a pre-show. Still, it provided a nice glimpse into just how rowdy this crowd can be. It should be a fun night. Join me on the main page for live coverage.
