It’s the biggest time of year for sports entertainment, as WWE presents WrestleMania 37 on Saturday and Sunday from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
For only the second time in history, Wrestlemania will be split over two nights. We also get the return of live, in-attendance fans, in a stadium setting for the first time in over a year.
There are a ton of high-profile matches being split between the two cards. Night 1 of the historic shows will likely see WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks defend her title against Bianca Belair.
The confirmed main event of Night 2 has WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns facing two elite challengers; WWE Hall of Famer Edge and Daniel Bryan.
As well as welcoming fans back to arenas, WWE is eager to connect with fans who will be watching from home as well.
That’s why it has teamed up with DraftKings to bring the free-to-play Pick Em pool concept to fans watching live on the Peacock streaming service.

OddsCritic picks for Wrestlemania 37
If you’re playing Pick Em, you might just need these. Here are our expert picks for WWE WrestleMania 37:
Saturday April 10
WWE Championship Match – Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Drew McIntyre
Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will be out to regain the gold when he takes on Bobby Lashley. Last year McIntyre won the title against Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania 36, holding onto the belt during the ‘pandemic’ era and ‘carrying’ the RAW brand on his back. This will likely be WWE’s chance to finally give McIntyre that big win in front of a crowd.
OddsCritic Pick: Drew McIntyre
SmackDown Women’s Championship Match – Sasha Banks (c) vs. Bianca Belair
The likely main event of Night 1 will see Royal Rumble winner Bianca Belair challenge for the SmackDown Women’s title. We see Belair winning the title here, as the company clearly has high hopes for the EST of WWE, and this will signal her true arrival in WWE’s top tier of performers.
OddsCritic Pick: Bianca Belair
Bad Bunny & Damian Priest vs. The Miz & John Morrison
Multi-platinum recording artist Bad Bunny teams with former NXT standout Damain Priest against The Miz and John Morrison. Our pick here is Bad Bunny and Damian Priest, as WWE will want to capitalise on the mainstream publicity of Bunny getting a pinfall, and WWE also has plans for Priest to be a main event-caliber Superstar going forward.
OddsCritic Pick: Bad Bunny and Damian Priest
Cesaro vs. Seth Rollins
This is arguably the most difficult match to predict for Night 1. Rollins is one of WWE’s most trusted and relied upon main event Superstars, but we see Cesaro finally getting the big win at the ‘Showcase of The Immortals’.
OddsCritic Pick: Cesaro
RAW Tag Team Championship Match – The New Day’s Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods (c) vs. AJ Styles & Omos:
WWE sees a lot of potential in its new giant Omos. This match was seemingly put together to give the huge Superstar the opportunity to showcase his abilities on the biggest stage. Omos has not yet had a match on WWE programming, so this could be the start of a long and main event-laden career.
OddsCritic Pick: AJ Styles & Omos
Steel Cage Match – Braun Strowman vs. Shane McMahon
This is one of those ‘why is this happening?’ matches. Our pick for the winner is Braun Strowman, as he has been at the receiving end of McMahon’s devious plans over the past month or so and the company will be looking to build more main-event RAW Superstars for the Champion over the Summer.
OddsCritic Pick: Braun Strowman
Tag Team Turmoil to earn a WWE Women’s Tag Team Title Match on Night 2 – Naomi & Lana vs. Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke vs. The Riott Squad vs. Natalya & Tamina
The winners of this match will go on to face Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax on Night 2. We see Natalya and Tamina winning here, as they’re the team with arguably the most upside going into WrestleMania this weekend.
OddsCritic Pick: Natalya vs Tamina
Sunday April 11
WWE Universal Championship Match – Roman Reigns (c) vs. Edge vs. Daniel Bryan
The main event of Night 2 sees Roman Reigns defend against Edge and Daniel Bryan. This is probably the toughest pick too, as WWE has done a great job of building all three Superstars as viable winners. Our pick is Edge however, with him likely getting the win over Daniel Bryan.
OddsCritic Pick: Edge
RAW Women’s Championship Match – Asuka (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
There’s a good chance this will steal the show. Rhea Ripley did as such last year against Charlotte and Asuka is one of the top Superstars in the company in terms of in-ring. We’re picking Ripley as, like Belair on Night 1, it’s a good way to ‘strap the rocket’ to her from the outset (she only debuted on RAW in the last month).
OddsCritic Pick: Rhea Ripley
“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton
This is the in-ring return of ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. The feud however has been going on for well over 6 months and this could be the blowoff. We see Bray Wyatt getting the win here and finally moving on.
OddsCritic Pick: The Fiend
Intercontinental Championship Match – Big E (c) vs. Apollo Crews
Speaking of long feuds, this should finally be the chance for Apollo Crews to get the win over Big E and finally become the mid-card Champion his current character work deserves.
OddsCritic Pick: Apollo Crews
Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn: Our Pick – Kevin Owens
Likely with help from Logan Paul (yes, that Logan Paul), Kevin Owens is our pick to get the win here. Sami Zayn is continuing his ‘conspiracy’ gimmick and this might be the end of the road before he finally returns to ‘babyface’ status as a good guy.
United States Championship Match – Riddle (c) vs. Sheamus
We’re going with the former UFC fighter Riddle here. WWE is constantly using the ‘Original Bro’ in segments across Monday Night RAW, and this could be the first big title defense for the ‘Stallion.’
OddsCritic Pick: Riddle
When does Wrestlemania 37 start?
