WrestleMania 37 Night One – Results and highlights
The first night of WWE WrestleMania 37 is behind us with new champions crowned and grudges settled.
Night One results
WWE Champion Bobby Lashley def. Drew McIntyre
Bobby Lashley toppled Drew McIntyre to retain the WWE Championship at Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 at Raymond James Stadium in the first match in front of the WWE Universe in more than a year.
After an intense war a distraction from MVP allowed Lashley to cinch in the Hurt Lock, McIntyre had nowhere to go and was rendered unconscious, prompting a referee stoppage.
Natalya & Tamina win Tag Team Turmoil to earn a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Match at Night 2 of WrestleMania
Natalya and Tamina won Tag Team Turmoil to earn the right to challenge WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler.
There was a spirited effort from the Riott Squad but they were no match for the power and technical prowess of Natalya and Tamina.
Naomi and Lana were the first team in the battle, followed by Carmella & Billie Kay. Surprisingly, the brand new team of Carmella & Kay eliminated their opponents, with Kay getting the pin thanks to an assist from Carmella. The Untouchable One’s meddling didn’t pay off against The Riott Squad, as the referee caught her in the act, leaving Kay open to a top-rope senton from Ruby Riott.
Natayla and Tamina had the advantage of being the last team out and soon gained the upper hand by hitting the Hart Attack on Riott, but instead of locking on her trademark Sharpshooter, Natalya ordered Tamina to the top rope, where she came crashing down on Riott with a devastating splash to get the victory and the title opportunity.
Cesaro def. Seth Rollins
Cesaro knocked off Seth Rollins in his first-ever singles match at The Show of Shows, seizing his WrestleMania moment.
AJ Styles & Omos def. The New Day to become Raw Tag Team Champions
No one could be sure of what to expect from Omos in his first-ever WWE match on The Grandest Stage of Them All. But the giant unleashed his rage at WrestleMania and won the Raw Tag Team Titles in his debut, taking out 11-time champions The New Day nearly singlehandedly.
Braun Strowman def. Shane McMahon (Steel Cage Match)

After being assaulted by The Miz & John Morrison on Monday Night Raw, Bad Bunny came to WrestleMania looking for a fight and got one. The world-famous recording artist showed out in his first-ever WWE match, teaming up with Damian Priest to defeat The Miz & John Morrison in impressive fashion.
Bianca Belair def. Sasha Banks to capture the SmackDown Women’s Championship
Belair left no questions unanswered in defeating Banks to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship to close out Night One of WrestleMania 37 in unforgettable fashion.
The EST was clearly overcome with emotion at the outset, however, as she faced the biggest moment of her career.
