WWE WrestleMania 37 night one preview: UK start time, matches, live stream and more
Tonight is the night – WWE will have actual fans back as WrestleMania 37 kicks off at Raymond James Stadium.
As with last year, the annual extravaganza will take place over two nights but unlike 2020, there will be a live crowd experiencing the thrills and spills in person for the first time in over a year.
After the pandemic laid waste to last year’s plans, Tampa is ready to host this time round, with two nights of blockbuster action set to take place and get beamed around the world.
There are some stacked bouts taking place tonight, from championship clashes and a first time fight to grudge matches and one fight which will directly play into tomorrow’s show.
Of course, as we all know the WWE Network is no more in the US with Peacock taking over, but here in the UK it’s business as usual – but what exactly does that mean?
As ever, we’ve put together our monthly guide with full match card, streaming details and more.
Here’s what you need to know…
When is WWE WrestleMania 37 night one?
WrestleMania 37 takes place on Saturday and Sunday (April 10 and 11) with all the action on the main card kicking off at 1am for fans in the UK.
How can you watch WWE WrestleMania 37 night one?
There’s no ThunderDome application this time with live fans making their welcome return, so let’s go through your options for both nights.
Of course, there will be a Kickoff show available on the WWE Network, WWE.com, the WWE app, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Twitch at midnight.
For fans in the UK, you can tune into the main WrestleMania 37 shows by either streaming live or watching on demand via the WWE Network – or order the event via BT Sport Box Office.

What can you expect from WWE WrestleMania 37?
The biggest thing is that fans – the lifeblood of WWE and all forms of pro wrestling – are back, with 25,000 expected each night at Raymond James Stadium.
And while there is overwhelming excitement at the buzz they’ll provide, there’s also some cautious curiosity about how they’ll react to the performers.
Over the past year, WWE has been booking with social media reaction (and those on the ThunderDome screens) as their only real way to gauge how things are going down – but now they’ll get a very instant response.
For night one, the show will open with Drew McIntyre walking out to face Bobby Lashley for the WWE Title, but it feels like the All Mighty’s moment.
Seth Rollins and Cesaro will likely steal the show from an in-ring perspective with fans hoping the Swiss Cyborg’s first ever WrestleMania singles match ends in victory, while Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks meet in an historic main event for the hold.
The Legit Boss could retain, but giving the EST of WWE the win would be a major statement (no pun intended).
Finally, between Omos and Bad Bunny’s respective debuts in tag team matches, there is plenty of intrigue around how the respective stars look with the spotlight shining bright.
