Episode 556: Wrestlemania 37 (2021)
Manage episode 407912495 series 3340961
Welcome back to The Lawcast! This time our hosts cover their most recent show ever with Wrestlemania 37 from 2021.
WWE emerges from The Thunderdome at the tail end of the COVID pandemic. What we find is a company at an interesting moment of transition. We still have a number of stars who have subsequently departed: Edge, Daniel Bryan, Sasha Banks, Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon, Samoa Joe (who is on commentary!). And we have building blocks of their current boom period: Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, Drew McIntyre, and celebrities like Logan Paul and Bad Bunny making their first appearances.
It's an epic two night show with a double main event: first, Bianca Belair challenges Sasha Banks for the Smackdown Women's Championship. Then on night two Roman Reigns defends the Universal Championship against Edge and Daniel Bryan in a Triple Threat Match. Plus we've got Bobby Lashley vs. Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship, Asuka vs. Rhea Ripley for the Raw Women's Championship, Braun Strowman vs. Shane McMahon in a Steel Cage Match, and The Fiend Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton.
Plus our hosts discuss AEW Big Business and Mercedes debuting in AEW, The Rock's epic heel promo, and the finals of the New Japan Cup.
