WWE once created history by hosting a Women’s main event match at the Show of Shows and going by the speculations, they might repeat the same on the occasion of WrestleMania 37. Two women from the SmackDown roster are gearing up to capture the marquee spotlight, it appears.
The two top matches of Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 are going to be the WWE Championship match featuring Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre and the SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks defending against Bianca Belair. The general thought was that the WWE Title match would be closing out the Night I of the Show of Shows.

That may not be the case as in an interview for WWE Germany, SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks confirmed that her match against the Women’s Royal Rumble 2021 winner will be the main event for Night 1 of WrestleMania 37.
If that is the case then it will be the second women’s main event in ‘Mania history, with the first one being Ronda Rousey vs. Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 35 over the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championship. Banks vs Belair will make history, anyway considering that two black women will compete over a title in a singles contest.

Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley could open Wrestlemania 37
As for Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 37 might turn out to be the inaugural match of the night.

“Hearing something interesting – WWE may not feature a match on the WrestleMania kickoff show for night 1, as the 1st entrance back in front of fans is being looked at as a HUGE deal. Not decided at all, but definitely a conversation happening within creative,” WrestleVotes reported.
