WrestleMania 37, which was held over 2 nights on April 10th and 11th, got off to a bad start when bad weather almost resulted in the first night being cancelled with torrential thunderstorms and heavy winds knocking down chairs...


and damaging the sails of the pirate ship set.


The parking lots were closed because of the weather, and the Raymond James Stadium issued a warning instructing members of the audience already at the venue to seek cover


I've heard reports of there being a delay of between 30 minutes and 2 1/2 hours before the show was able to start, but there was still a lot of surface water on the ground, leading to a number of wrestlers slipping

Luckily, things were much better for the second night

Day 1 results

  • Bobby Lashley (with MVP) defeated Drew McIntyre by technical submission in a singles match for the WWE Championship
  • Natalya and Tamina won by last eliminating The Riott Squad (Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott) in a Tag Team Turmoil match where the winners advanced to the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match on Night 2 [other teams involved were Lana and Naomi, Billie Kay and Carmella, Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose]

Day 2 Results
SPOILER:
  • Randy Orton defeated The Fiend (with Alexa Bliss) in a singles match
  • Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defeated Natalya and Tamina by technical submission in a Tag Team match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
  • Kevin Owens defeated Sami Zayn (with Logan Paul) in a singles match
  • Sheamus defeated Riddle in a singles match for the WWE United States Championship
  • Apollo Crews defeated Big E in a Nigerian Drum Fight for the WWE Intercontinental Championship [This was a No Holds Barred match but with African drums surrounding the ring that could be used as weapons]
  • Rhea Ripley defeated Asuka in a singles match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship
  • Roman Reigns (with Jey Uso and Paul Heyman) defeated Edge and Daniel Bryan in a Triple Threat match for the WWE Universal Championship


The next sceduled PPV was originally announced as being 'Money In The Bank', but this seems to have changed to 'Backlash', which is due to be held on May 16. Unlike WrestleMania, it seems that this one is going to be held 'behind locked doors' again, presumably without a live audience
