Stephanie McMahon Reveals Which Match Will ‘Headline’ WrestleMania Night 1

Stephanie McMahon Reveals Which Match Will ‘Headline’ WrestleMania Night 1

While it has been obvious that Roman Reigns vs. Edge vs. Daniel Bryan will be main-eventing night 2 of WrestleMania 37, the fate of night 1’s main event has been very unclear.

Many expect Drew McIntyre vs. Bobby Lashley to close the show, but Sasha Banks has said in several interviews that her SmackDown Women’s Championship match with Bianca Belair will be the main event.

It looks like Sasha may well be right, as Stephanie McMahon has now said in an interview with Bill Simmons that Banks vs. Belair will “headline” night 1.

“Sasha and Bianca, who is newer, are going to be headlining night one of WrestleMania. That’s going to be special and spectacular. I can’t wait to see their match.

“I’ve always known that Sasha could be right at the top. She just has that ‘it’ factor. She just shines. Ultimately, it’s not my decision. I’m certainly very excited for Sasha to have this moment. During the pandemic, I’ve actually heard fans credit Bayley and Sasha for carrying things during the pandemic with their storyline and I think they did. I’m so grateful to them for doing so.”

If Stephanie is right, it will be just the second time a women’s match has main-evented a WrestleMania, the first of course being Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 35.
