When Stephanie McMahon confirmed earlier this week that Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair would headline the first night of WrestleMania 37, it was known history would be made.

Their bout became the first-ever women's singles match to headline WrestleMania, as well as being the only 'Mania match of all time to exclusively feature black women.

History aside, the match itself was phenomenal. A back-and-forth classic that justified its main event billing, Belair won the SmackDown Women's Championship after 17 minutes of gripping action.

The closing stages of the match saw Belair whip Banks with her hair, delivering a blow that left Banks with a visible mark on her side.

Belair secured the win after hitting a KOD on Banks shortly afterward. Belair's triumph in such a high-profile spot truly made her feel like a major star for WWE.

Fans in attendance loved this match and gave both women a standing ovation at the end of the bout. Although there is still another night of action to come before WrestleMania 37 is officially in the books, this battle between Banks and Belair will be tough to top.

The bar has been set high for WrestleMania 37: Night Two.
