10 Biggest Shocks In WWE WrestleMania History

Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair put on a historic main event on the first night of WrestleMania 37, working a terrific match that sealed Belair’s ascent to the top table, illustrated why Banks is one of the best of her generation, and provided a source of inspiration to fans across the world.

There are many takeaways from the instant classic, but what burned itself into the memories of most viewers - as well as Banks’ flesh - was the moment Belair took her long ponytail and used it like a whip. The crack as it strikes Sasha’s side is a breathtaking one - whatever was done to milk the sound, it’s an undeniably visceral noise.

The effects are immediately apparent as the welt begins to form. WrestleMania 37 features cages, chairs, and kendo sticks, but nothing induces such a wince as this moment. What’s more, it makes Bianca look superheroic, a special power that only she can utilise.

They’ve used this spot a few times since (though not as often as you might expect), but its placement in the match and the execution on the grand stage makes this a stunner.
