The first night of WrestleMania 37 is now in the record books, and that opening night went off the air with Bianca Belair celebrating with her freshly won SmackDown Women’s Championship.

In an update on what went down after ‘Mania’s Night 1 went off the air, PWInsider has the scoop.

Belair’s husband Montez Ford made his way down to ringside and embraced the victorious EST, carrying her around on his shoulders. After Ford departed the ring, Bianca slumped to her knees and gave her thanks to the sky.

From there, an emotional Belair headed over to her family at ringside, sharing her big moment with them. At this point, the new SmackDown Women’s Champion was said to be shaking and crying tears of joy.

Bianca then stood on the ringside barricade to show off her title, before she made her way up the entrance ramp. There, she stopped atop the ramp to take in this moment and scene for one last time.

In case you’ve not seen it yet, Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks put on an absolute barn-burner in the main event of WrestleMania 37’s first night – with Belair hitting the KOD to get the win after a back-and-forth 17 minutes.
