The feeling backstage to WrestleMania was that HBK vs. The Undertaker stole the show, Ricky Steamboat looked great at his age, and that HHH vs. Randy Orton came off “poorly”.
Some feel that they will work to get the title to Orton tonight. They could do it tonight or at the Backlash PPV in just under three weeks. Overall management was happy with attendance and gate figures, and the backstage mood was described as “good”.
