WrestleMania 32 will be the thirty-second annual WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It will take place on April 3, 2016, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.[1] This will be the third WrestleMania to be held in the state of Texas after 2001 and 2009, and the first to take place in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area.
Forbes has speculated that WrestleMania 32 could break the WWE wrestling attendance record of 93,173 set at WrestleMania III at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan. This record stood as the highest attendance for any indoor event until the 2010 NBA All-Star Game, also held at AT&T Stadium, drew 108,713.[2]
Production
Background
WrestleMania is considered WWE's flagship event,[3] and has been described as the Super Bowl of sports entertainment.[4]

Storylines
WrestleMania 32 will feature professional wrestling matches that involve wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds or storylines that play out on WWE television. Wrestlers will portray heroes or villains as they follow a series of events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[6][7]
At the 2016 Royal Rumble, Triple H entered the Royal Rumble match at #30 and last eliminated defending champion Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.[8] The following night on Raw, The Authority announced that Triple H will defend the title at WrestleMania against the winner of a triple threat match at Fastlane between Brock Lesnar, Reigns, and Ambrose.[9]
