Welcome to PWInsider.com’s live coverage of Night One of Wrestlemania 37 from Tampa, Florida.

Make sure to check out all of the coverage including news, interviews, preview audios, live blog, post game show, and more.

We are in Tampa, Florida and your host is Kayla Braxton and she is joined by Jerry Lawler, Booker T, John Layfield, and Peter Rosenberg.

They run through the card for Night One.

We have a video package for the Smackdown Women's Championship Match between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair.

Jerry says we are going to be part of history.  He mentions the first women's singles match to main event Wrestlemania.  John says this is about history, not because of race or gender, but due to their talent.  Booker says Sasha has been there before, but Bianca is different.  Peter mentions Sasha's record at Wrestlemania.  He says there is pressure on both of them.  Kayla says that Bianca is confident but is the talk by Sasha calling her a rookie affecting Bianca?  John says when you are a rookie and going into Wresltemania, you don't understand the moment because you are not used to the spectacle so it might favor Bianca.

We take a look at what happened between the teams in the Raw Tag Team Championship match on recent episodes of Raw.

Booker says the New Day are one of the luckiest teams in WWE history and he is questioned by John and Peter.  Booker mentions the number of tag titles he has held.  He says that the New Day are fun loving when they come out and that has helped them.  Jerry says Omos will make good on all of the hype for him.  Booker says Omos might not have the most experience but he has a lot of raw talent.  John mentions the experience advantage that The New Day has over AJ and Omos.

We take a look at Cesaro and Seth Rollins on recent episodes of Smackdown.

Jerry says Cesaro is a major star and the fans are now getting behind him.  John says this is Cesaro's biggest match of his career.  Booker says Cesaro has already made history.  He has won tag team gold with every partner and Seth Rollins is the type of person to get that Wrestlemania moment.  

Kayla asks if we will see Cesaro swing Seth.  Jerry picks Cesaro to win.  Booker also picks Cesaro.  John says he will swing Seth and he will win.  Peter says it is Cesaro's night.

We take a look at Miz and he talks about Wrestlemania moments.  He says his goal is to make sure you take home a moment or feeling that you can take home for the rest of your life.  Miz says he thinks about the annticipation and nerves, but then he hears the crowd.  

We have a video package for Bad Bunny.

Booker says that when Bad Bunny got up after getting hit by Miz, it showed a lot.  Peter says he is excited to see what Bad Bunny can do.  John says this is the day the music dies when Miz and Morrison beat Bad Bunny.  Jerry asks Booker if he will be doing commentary in case Bad Bunny needs help.  Booker says Bad Bunny is a life long fan.   John says he is a baseball fan but he cannot hit Gerrit Cole.  Booker says Bad Bunny has been in fights before and he will prevail.

We take a look at the Hall of Fame ceremony for the 2020 Class.

John says it meant a lot to go into the Hall of Fame on the same night as Hulk Hogan.  

They run through the card for Night Two of Wrestlemania.

Kayla asks everyone what match they are looking forward to.

Booker says he is looking forward to see what Bobby Lashley can do without the Hurt Business.  He says it is a throwback match.  Peter says Drew is who represented the company in the last year.  Jerry says he will be doing commentary during the McMahon/Strowman match.  Jerry wonders what Shane can jump off of.  John says he is looking forward to Cesaro and Rollins.  Kayla is looking forward to the Smackdown Women's Title match.  She says it is Bianca's night.

We take a look at the Stroman versus McMahon Steel Cage Match.

Peter says when he thinks steel cage match at Mania and he thinks about Hogan and Bundy from Wrestlemania II.  Maybe Shane has bitten off more than he can chew.  Booker says that Braun was so devastating that people were afraid to walk out of the locker room.  Shane is trying to get something out of Braun that no one else can and it will happen tonight.  John says you don't want to bet against a McMahon.

We take a look at the Number One Contenders Match for the Women's Tag Title.

Sonya Deville has joined the panel and she is happy to hear fans for the first time in a year.  Sonya says she is looking forward to seeing Billie Kay and Carmella.  Kayla asks Sonya about Mandy.  Sonya says she was a stronger partner for Mandy.  

John comments on how much better Sonya is than Peter.

Kayla asks Sonya about the Smackdown Women's Title Match.  Sonya says both are talented women.  It would be nice for Sasha to back up her words in the ring.

They run through the card again.

We talk about the WWE Championship Match between Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley with a video package.

Jerry says he is a Drew McIntyre fan.  He watched the Hurt Business and was impressed with them and what Bobby Lashley has done.  Drew, in front of fans, will rise to the occasion and win.  John says it is like Wrestlemania 12 with Shawn and Bret.  It is two of the best in their prime and that is what Wrestlemania is about.  John says he thinks Bobby will win.  Peter says Bobby is unstoppable.  Booker says Bobby has made this moment something special.  To go out at Wrestlemania, he does not want to lose what he has around his waist.  He has a legacy and it starts tonight.  He has to win to make this right.  Booker says Bobby will beat Drew, but he will destroy Drew.
