WWE s Bianca Belair Defeats Sasha Banks and Becomes SmackDown Women s Champion at WrestleMania 37
✖
After weeks of back and forth between SmackDown Women s Champion Sasha Banks and Royal Rumble winner Bianca Belair, it is finally time to settle who truly is the EST. Banks is more confident than ever, and Belair is one of the most promising stars in WWE, so this had all the makings of an epic clash, and boy did it deliver. Belair had to fight back tears at the start of the match, but the opponents quickly locked up and traded some shots and pushes and then hit a series of reversals and counters.

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.
