WWE WrestleMania 37 Match Card – Night one
Bobby Lashley (c) Beat Drew McIntyre (WWE championship)
WWE Championship Bobby Lashley (c) beat Drew McIntyre: Lashley and McIntyre locked up and pushed each other around the ring in a collar-and-elbow to start the match. Lashley was able to hit a dominator to cut off McIntyre’s offensive flurry and scored one of the first near-falls of the match. Lashley also tried to lock in the Hurt Lock, but McIntyre was able to fight it off. A solid match based on physicality and impressive in the two men having to wait through the delay when they were seconds from walking to the ring at the start of the show. This won’t be the best match of the weekend, but was still good stuff.
For the first time in more than a year, in-person fans make their return as WrestleMania 37 night one takes place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida tonight.
Night one will be headlined by a historic main event with Sasha Banks and women s Royal Rumble winner Bianca Belair facing off for the SmackDown Women s Championship.
