Vince McMahon Welcomes Fans Back, Weather Delays WrestleMania 37 Start

Tonight’s the first night of WrestleMania 37, and before the show officially started, Vince McMahon made his way out to the ring to thank the fans in attendance.

McMahon was joined by a ton of superstars at the top of the ramp, McMahon thanked the fans who came to celebrate the night with them. “As we emerge from this dreadful pandemic, on behalf of our entire WWE family, we would simply like to say thank you and welcome you to WrestleMania,” McMahon said as he said that the fans were something that WWE were missing the most since last year.

With Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, welcoming back fans in a limited capacity, this marks the first WWE pay-per-view to have live fans since 2020’s Elimination Chamber. Unfortunately, Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 was delayed thanks to the weather in Florida, as rain and lightning began to occur right as the pay-per-view was set to start.
