And yet, here we are. For all that WrestleMania Night 1 felt like a PR nightmare, Night 2 (and the “Raw” after WrestleMania) brought WWE immediately back to the winner’s section, and frankly, it’s going to be very easy for a lot of people to forget that Night 1 even happened.

Night 2 was a triumph in many ways, most notably in the opener — which saw the full ascension of white-hot new megastar Oba Femi, who seems to have retired the controversial Brock Lesnar — and the main event, which was almost universally agreed to be one of the best wrestling matches WWE had put on in recent memory. You can dispute that if you want, but the fact of the matter is that on Saturday, WWE wasn’t even a wrestling promotion anymore, and on Sunday, CM Punk and Roman Reigns put on a spectacular wrestling match that has functionally laid those accusations to rest (at least for now). Add to that the fact that the “Raw” after WrestleMania was pretty good overall, featuring numerous “NXT” call-ups and elevating rising star Jacob Fatu into the pole position for Reigns’ newly-won World Heavyweight Championship, and Night 1 feels like a distant memory, even if the criticisms it garnered are still entirely valid.

It’s all about perception, and from a perception standpoint, WWE is already back on top after stumbling briefly on Saturday. You didn’t see any Tony Khan promotional posts Sunday or Monday night, and there’s a reason for that.
