In the opening match of WrestleMania 37, Drew McIntyre challenged Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship. The two powerhouses engaged in a brutal clash to kickstart the pay-per-view. In the end, Lashley managed to retain his gold, but McIntyre was equally impressive in the title bout. He pushed the champion to his limits and enjoyed his fair share of dominance throughout the match.

McIntyre relied on devastating blows to keep Lashley from gaining momentum in the match. He attacked the champion with multiple kicks and even drove him through the barricades. McIntyre came close to pinning Lashley on several occasions, and the champion was forced to escape the ring in order to avoid losing at WrestleMania. At one point, he dove over the top rope to take out both Lashley and MVP.

In the final moments of the match, McIntyre prepared to go for Claymore, but he was distracted by MVP. Lashley immediately capitalized on the opportunity and grabbed McIntyre in the Hurt Lock. The Scottish Warrior tried to escape, but after a long battle, he faded out in the middle of the ring.

Lashley retained his championship while a heartbroken McIntyre remained seated at ringside. Despite losing the title match at WrestleMania, McIntyre managed to deliver one of the night's most impressive performances.
