TAMPA BAY – The time for wrestling is now. The event two years in making has arrived to Tampa Bay. We’re talking about the “Showcase of the Immortals” WrestleMania 37.
The stage is set, Raymond James Stadium has been transformed into “the Grandest Stage of Them All.”
“I can’t wait to hear the boos and the cheers and [feel] the vibration from the crowd,” said WWE Superstar Bianca Belair.
After being postponed last year due to the coronavirus pandemic WrestleMania 37 returns to Tampa Bay; With nearly 25,000 wrestling fans expected to be in attendance on Saturday and Sunday for the two-night event.
Marking it the first time since the pandemic began a WWE event will have a live audience; and this year’s “Showcase of the Immortals” will be making history in more ways than one.
“If I want to prove that I’m the best, who else to do it against other than Sasha Banks?” said Belair.
Defending Smackdown Women’s Champion “the Legit Boss” Sasha Banks puts her title on the line against the 2021 Women’s Royal Rumble winner the “EST of the WWE” Bianca Belair.
Since making her WWE Main Roster debut, Belair, the Star of Friday Night Smackdown, has proven why she’s the best female competitor on the roster.
A former collegiate athlete, Belair looks to capture her first singles title with the company after earning a championship match by outlasting 29 other competitors at the Royal Rumble.
“Also by choosing Sasha Bank, we get to go and create history. What other place would you want to create history at other than WrestleMania if you’ve got the opportunity,” said Belair.
Their championship bout closing off the show on Saturday will be the second time in WrestleMania history the women will take center stage and be the featured main event match.
“So it’d be the first time two women of color having a title match at WrestleMania,” said Belair. “For me it just all made sense and it was just the perfect decision to face Sasha Banks.”
