#4 A shock opening result at WrestleMania 37

With Drew McIntyre making the first entrance in front of fans for WrestleMania 37, most people assumed that the babyface had to get the big title win to kick off the first show in front of fans in 13 months.

It would be good, but it would also be obvious. WWE knew the options they had but likely felt that a big shock at the start of the show was a better way to go about it.

Ultimately, the shock result has gotten more people talking about WrestleMania. Bobby Lashley didn't get heat, since fans seemed to embrace the reigning WWE Champion. It speaks volumes to the work that he's put in over the years - finally getting the respect that he deserves.

Bobby Lashley just won the biggest match of his WWE career, and whether it was circumstantial or not, it's done. WWE chose to surprise fans with the result at WrestleMania, but to some fans, it was only to be expected. The All Mighty WWE Champion reigned supreme.
