Here's the build-up and card for WrestleMania 32.

Raw vs. SmackDown! Cruiserweight Showcase: Cruiserweight Champion Matt Stryker, Evan Bourne, and Don Maiden vs. Jason Cross, Sean Casey, and Derek Standish
This match stems from Jason Cross' anger over the SmackDown!'s cruiserweights inability to get the title away from Raw's Matt Stryker. Stryker suggests that maybe Raw just has the superior cruiserweights. Cross takes offense to this as do some of the other SmackDown! guys and they punish Stryker with a beating. Stryker later challenges Cross to a 3-on-3 match with them as captains. The two select their teammates after a series of tryout matches and all six men look to deliver the goods at WrestleMania. Stryker even offers a title match to whoever manages to win.

Money In the Bank: Mr. Kennedy vs. Scott Blackmore vs. John Morrison vs. Bryan Danielson vs. The Miz vs. Jack Swagger vs. Rhyno vs. AJ Styles vs. Kane vs. Cody Rhodes
What may appear to be a standard race-for-the-briefcase Money in the Bank ladder match, this is actually a nexus of a few personal quarrels, most notably Kennedy & Blackmore, Rhodes & Kane, and Miz & Danielson. Who's snatching the coveted Money in the Bank briefcase this year?

Sean Criss vs. CM Punk
These two top Raw stars have been at each other's throats since Punk unwittingly cost Criss the WWE Title back in October after Criss had only briefly tasted the gold after a lengthy chase. Punk's self-centeredness and ego has only been fueled by the frustration over not being able to win the WWE Title since his arrival on Raw while Criss is motivated by delivering the beating Punk has had coming to him for years. Raw GM Steve Austin has sweetened the pot by making sure the winner of this match has a WWE Title on Raw in the coming month.

Sean O'Haire vs. Batista
This special Raw vs. SmackDown! match came to be after Sean O'Haire ran into Batista at No Way Out and bragged about the suffering HHH was put through. After a few taunts, Batista made his play and started a brawl which ended badly for the Animal. O'Haire suggested that perhaps Batista would fare better in a straight-up match and made his plans to reach the top known: he would go through all of the former Evolution members! Batista, never one to back down, has made his bid to put an end to the rise of O'Haire before it can even begin. Who will survive this battle of monsters?

WWE U.S. Heavyweight Title: Pete Shapiro (c) vs. R-Truth
The truth hurts....and never was it more apparent than when R-Truth showed his true colors and destroyed Shapiro after the two of them came up short in a triple threat Money in the Bank qualifying match. R-Truth now plans to rob Shapiro of his dreams and become the new U.S. Champion in the most humbling way imaginable. The grandest stage of them all will be the setting where this bitterness comes to a head.

WWE Intercontinental Title: MVP (c) vs. Mike Knox vs. Alex Furious vs. Cash Stevens
This fatal-four way brings together two very intense feuds with four men looking to stand out from the pack and take one more step towards the upper-echelon of superstars. Can Mike Knox win his first singles title in the WWE? Will Cash Stevens embark on another long run as champion? Is Alex Furious right when he claims he's one of the top young up-and-comers on SmackDown!? Or is WrestleMania yet another chance for MVP to defy the odds?

The Status Quo vs. Edge and Christian
This extremely intense blood feud began back at Bragging Rights when The Status Quo managed to defeat Team SmackDown! in the main event. Victory, however, wasn't enough for the vile group. Edge and Christian were among the victims of the post-match annihilation and that set in motion the trip to WrestleMania. After costing Bret Banderas and Brian York the Unified Tag Team Titles at the Royal Rumble, Edge and Christian were ready to face the two on an even playing field. The Status Quo, ever eager to prove their dominance, took up this chance to defeat and humiliate one of the most decorated teams in WWE history. Looking at the credentials of Edge and Christian, not just as a team, but as individuals, it may seem like the Status Quo have bitten off more than they can chew. But if history has shown one thing, the Status Quo always seem to be one step ahead of the competion. Will their path to dominance be cut off by two of the WWE's greatest?

WWE Title: Chris Sylvain (c) vs. Randy Orton
Chris Sylain should not be champion. 2015 was supposed to be the year of the Viper. At least that's the feeling that the WWE fans have expressed, a sentiment not shared by the leader of the Status Quo and one of the most dispicable men ever to grace a WWE ring, Chris Sylvain. Just a mere month after winning the title at last year's WrestleMania, Chris Sylvain, having stolen the Money in the Bank contract from Scott Blackmore, turned his back on his own team, allowing the then fledgling Status Quo to defeat Randy Orton and proceeded to cash in his shot all before ousting Blackmore from the group and then taking over. Orton spent the next 10 months recovering from the horrific beating he took but all the while, planning his revenge. The shows after No Way Out saw the Viper vandalize a poster commemorating Sylvain's acheivements over the last year, deliver an actual, live viper as a gift to the Status Quo, and finally appearing live in person to RKO the champion into oblivion. While Sylvain thought he was protected by the 'no rematch' clause of the Money in the Bank, Raw GM Steve Austin reminded the champion that it was voided when Sean Criss had won the title in the triple threat match back at Unforgiven. This epic rematch is sure to be packed with brutality and fury but will Orton's road to redemption be a dead end or will Sylvain's tyranny come to a destructive end?

World Heavyweight Title: Jason Collins (c) vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Ian Moore
After winning the Royal Rumble, Ian Moore's trip to the main event at WrestleMania was a lock. There was just one small problem: Kofi Kingston. Kofi Kingston, determined to win back the gold after his loss to Collins at the Royal Rumble, went into battle once more at No Way Out to regain his status at the top dog on SmackDown!. However, the double countout solved nothing and Kingston was resolute in his quest to get closure. SmackDown! GM the Rock had a solution: both Moore and Kingston would challenge for the title at WrestleMania! This battle of the three most popular SmackDown! stars has been analyzed by nearly everyone in the company but it's now up to them to show who wants it more. Who will receive their vindication in the main event of WrestleMania?

Results later.
