The first night of WrestleMania 37 kicked off in style as Vince McMahon came out to welcome back the WWE Universe. Titus O’Neil and Hulk Hogan eventually took over the proceedings.
Bobby Lashley defeated Drew McIntyre in a great first match to set the bar for the night. Will a former Universal Champion return to face Lashley at a later date?
Tamina and Natalya became the number one contenders for the WWE Women’s Championship. Braun Strowman defeated Shane McMahon in a Steel Cage match at WrestleMania. Can WWE get over the Braun vs Brain storyline and give The Monster Among Men another push?
Cesaro picked up a big victory, while Omos tasted success in his first match in front of a live crowd. What does the future hold for the two men?
Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair put the final touches on an incredible night with a stellar performance. Let’s take a look at the five biggest questions from night one of WrestleMania 37.
#5 Did Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre deliver the ultimate powerhouse match at WWE WrestleMania 37?
The first match of WrestleMania 37 saw Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley battle it out for the WWE Championship. McIntyre had made it clear that he wanted to be the first superstar out in the ring when the fans returned, and he was able to do just that with Lashley.
The two men put on a great match for the WWE Championship and pulled off some big moves. While they could have gone over the top with the power moves, both men ensured that the match did not get out of hand.
Along with the power moves, McIntyre used some submission maneuvers to keep the action ticking. Lashley also strategized a lot more in the match and did well throughout to show why he’s the WWE Champion.
Did the two men deliver the perfect powerhouse match at WrestleMania 37? Was it best to have Lashley go up against McIntyre instead of dreaming about a Brock Lesnar return?
McIntyre already had his WrestleMania moment last year even though there was no live audience present for the event. Lashley managed to have his big moment in front of a live crowd.
Both men have had to wait over a decade to get their big matches. The wait gave them time to perfect their skills and learn how to deliver. This was arguably the perfect opening match to welcome the live audience back.
#4 Should WWE keep Bad Bunny around for longer after WrestleMania 37?
Bad Bunny and Damian Priest teamed up for a match against The Miz and John Morrison at WrestleMania 37. Bunny made his first appearance during the 2021 Royal Rumble and has remained in a rivalry with The Miz ever since.
Several fans were unaware of who Bunny was and were unhappy seeing Bunny as the celebrity performer for WrestleMania this year. The Grammy winner stayed focused on his storyline and kept putting in the work in the WWE Performance Center.
His hard work paid off at WrestleMania where he was able to pick up the win with Priest. Not only did Bunny and Priest win the contest, but the former pulled off some impressive moves and did well to keep the match going.
Did Bunny pull off one of the best celebrity matches in WWE history? And should WWE keep him around for some more time after what he managed to achieve in the ring?
Seeing how well Bunny adapted to the square circle, fans could watch him compete in a few more matches before walking away from WWE. While Bunny doesn’t need a long career in professional wrestling, he could pull off some more incredible stunts in the ring for WWE.
#3 Will Cesaro finally get a push following his performance at WWE WrestleMania 37?
Cesaro waited for over a decade to get a singles match at WrestleMania. 2021 proved to be his year as he got a match against Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 37. Rollins had targeted Cesaro since his return during the 2021 Royal Rumble, and the story had a good build.
Both men put on a great performance in the match and kept the pace up throughout. Instead of giving Cesaro a squash victory, creative did well to make him work hard and show his class against a former WWE Champion.
Cesaro should have had his moment in WWE by now. However, it’s unfortunate that he hasn’t received a massive push even though he’s earned it several times. Will his victory at WrestleMania finally give him the chance to push ahead?
Like Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre, Cesaro has been waiting in line for his WrestleMania moment. He can finally work on it and possibly get it at WrestleMania 38. The top title scene could be filled with heels following The Show of Shows, and Cesaro could enter it as a babyface to go all the way.
#2 Was it the correct move to put The New Day down in favor of AJ Styles and Omos at WWE WrestleMania 37?
The New Day put their RAW Tag Team Championships on the line against AJ Styles and Omos at WWE WrestleMania 37. Unlike Styles and Omos, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have been a tag team for a long time and proven themselves time and time again.
Many fans expected Omos and Styles to win the titles at WrestleMania. A few still hoped that WWE higher-ups would allow The New Day to retain the titles. However, Omos managed to overpower Kingston and Woods to help his team pick up the victory.
Was it the right call to allow the make-shift tag team to win the titles? Would it have been better to have Kingston and Woods retain after a hard-fought contest?
WrestleMania 36 saw Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins win the RAW Tag Team Championships. Even worse, Braun Strowman teamed up with a 10-year-old to win the titles at WrestleMania 35.
Considering how average the build for the RAW Tag Team Championships has been over the past few years, was it the right call to give the titles to another make-shift tag team? Only time will tell if Omos and Styles will do more good than bad for the titles.
#1 Did Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair deliver the best main event at WWE WrestleMania 37?
One of the biggest matches of WWE WrestleMania 37 saw Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair main event on the first night. The two women competed for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Belair had an extended career in NXT before she made the jump to the main roster. However, her NXT career did not allow her to win any titles on the brand. Belair won the 2021 Royal Rumble and challenged Banks for the SmackDown Women’s title.
The buildup to the rivalry wasn’t too great, but it was passable nonetheless. Fans knew that the two women would put on an incredible performance at The Show of Shows, and WWE allowed them to main event the first night of WrestleMania.
The match was epic and exceeded many expectations. There were some big cool spots along with many emotional moments. It looked like everything flowed naturally. Belair was finally able to overcome Banks to win the title.
Now that the dust has settled, many in the WWE Universe are wondering whether this was the best main event of WrestleMania of all time. Has anyone told a better story at WrestleMania than these two women, considering their past and all they’ve worked for?
While many matches come to mind, this was one of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time. Some will call it the best, while others will likely put it in their top ten. The quality of the match was right up there.
