WrestleMania 37 - 5 things we learned from the event

#2 The emotion was real at WrestleMania 37

At WrestleMania 37, the emotion was palpable and on display at various moments during the event. Competing at the Show of Shows is the pinnacle of a WWE Superstar's career and every performer wants a WrestleMania moment.

It doesn't have to necessarily be a main event or a title win but rather creating something memorable at the event. That was definitely the case for several people at WrestleMania 37.

The two most glaring examples of this - especially since fans were in attendance - involved Bianca Belair and Cesaro. Prior to the bell ringing for her title match with Sasha Banks, Belair was clearly holding back tears. She was extremely and understandably emotional on the Road to WrestleMania.

She put on the performance of her WWE career and ended up dethroning the Boss in the main event of Night 1 of WrestleMania 37. Her family was ringside and her father almost spilled over the guard rail in happiness.

As she hoisted her newly won title, the emotion on her face was tangible and a sign of someone who truly felt blessed to be in her position. It's hard to root against someone when they are visibly invested in such moments. Belair has certainly captured not only the SmackDown Women's title but also the hearts of a lot of the WWE Universe.

The other moment of extreme emotion - albeit in a smaller dose - was during the match between Cesaro and Seth Rollins on Night 1 of WrestleMania 37. Cesaro has long been considered one of the best WWE Superstars but has not received consistent opportunities. It wasn't because of effort or skill, but because of factors outside of his control.

The main impetus for his WrestleMania 37 feud with Rollins was that Cesaro didn't get the chances that Rollins received. Because of that, Rollins felt disrespected when Cesaro didn't embrace his vision for SmackDown. The former WWE Champion went on about how great he was and how unimpressive Cesaro's resume was in comparison.

That hit home with the Swiss Superman, because it took him a decade just to get a featured singles match at a WrestleMania event. This was his first showcase on this stage as a singles competitor and the two men delivered one of the best matches of WrestleMania 37.

After he defeated Rollins, Cesaro kneeled with his head pushed directly into the mat. He sat in that position for a few seconds as his victory became real. It's moments like those from Belair and Cesaro that make WrestleMania moments all the more special.
