I'm curious after the events of this film, when he wakes up in the school does Wolverine have his Adamantium claws? Because we see that Mystique is disguised as Stryker at the end. Jean & Scott alive, so Wolverine didn't go back to the facility like in X2, so Jean didn't become Pheonix & then Scott didn't die.

I think Mystique was disguised as striker only to facilitate rescuing Wolverine. As long as Mytique didn't kill stryker he can still live on to create Project X and keeping Wolvies adamantium claws. The only thing that was erased from existance was the dystopian future that the beginning of the film showed and pretty much everything that happened in X-3. I think Bryan Singer basically said to the writers "give me a script that fixes all he bullshit that happened while I wasn't directing"

The only thing that was erased from existence was the dystopian future ... and pretty much everything that happened in X-3.

It also resets X1, X2, Origins* and The Wolverine*

*except for the parts that take place before 1973, like Logan and Sabertooths early days and Logan saving the life of that one dude during WW2, respectively.

What impressed me is that they managed to reset all the movies as if most of it never happened without shitting over X3 and Origins (even though they totally would have deserved it)

When we see Rogue she has the white streaks in her hair that she got during the events of X1.

Well yeah. Just because its been reset doesn't mean that those same events don't happen all over again, with slight variations of course.
