WrestleMania 37 is hours away, and the headline match is still in doubt. Some want Lashley vs McIntyre in the main event spot, but some want Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks. As good as the WWE Championship match will be, it looks like the women will headline WrestleMania for the second time in three years. DO SASHA BANKS AND BIANCA BELAIR DESERVE THE MAIN EVENT OF WRESTLEMANIA? With two nights of WrestleMania, the dream match between Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks will headline night one of the PPV. Fans rallied to get this match as the main event instead of Lashley vs McIntyre, but only one match had a decent build. Lashley vs McIntyre featured some solid storytelling and intelligent booking. One night after helping him cash in his MITB contract, Bobby Lashley leveled the Miz and captured the WWE Championship. McIntyre gets his shot at revenge at WrestleMania, but his path to the Show of Shows [https://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/wrestlemania-37] wasn’t easy either. While the WWE Title feud gave us interesting matches like McIntyre [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/drew-mcintyre/] vs Sheamus and Sheamus vs Lashley [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bobby-lashley/], the SmackDown Women’s Title feud confused the daylights out of us. Instead of generating any actual animosity between champion and challenger, WWE paired Banks and Belair in a tag team. They lost twice to the Women’s Tag Team Champions and lost a ton of credibility before the biggest matches in their meteoric careers. Had WWE booked them appropriately, this wouldn’t have needed the fans’ support to reach the main event. Now, Banks [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sasha-banks] vs Belair [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bianca-belair/] will probably go down as the worst booked WrestleMania main event of all time. WWE PROVES THEY LISTEN TO THE FANS [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/sasha-banks-slaps-bianca-belair.jpg] Wrestling fans can be a fickle bunch. They find a variety of reasons to complain about the product, even though WWE has been pandering to their wants. WWE might’ve been considering a different match for the main event of Night 1, but the fans forced their hand once again. Bobby Lashley won the WWE Championship for the first time in his seventeen-year career, warranting the headline spot. He faces the man who slayed Brock Lesnar at last year’s WrestleMania in what promises to be the biggest spring blockbuster. While some could argue winning the Royal Rumble warrants the main event spot, this feud is an easy exception. It isn’t Sasha or Bianca’s fault for their booking, but WWE clearly does not know how to book eagerly anticipated dream matches.

Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair will headline the first night of WrestleMania 37,
but does that match deserve that spot given its booking?

<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania</h2>
One of WWEâ€™s Big Five, WrestleMania is arguably the largest pro wrestling event in the world. Its first iteration featured the likes of Andre the Giant, Mr T, and Hulk Hogan, and a total attendance of just shy of 20,000 people. With WWE increasing the stakes each year, its latest iteration, WrestleMania XL, is set to feature over 25 of the promotionâ€™s biggest wrestlers, including Dwayne Johnson, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and Rhea Ripley.
<h2 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania Origins</h2>
WrestleMania was conceptualized as a rival to NWAâ€™s Starrcade, which began in 1983 and was initially organized by Jim Crockett Promotions. The two promotions were in a fierce battle to come out on top in the 80s, with NWAâ€™s popularity waning as the then-WWF expanded nationwide, with a hope to go global. Former WWE head honcho Vince McMahon was credited with creating the concept of WrestleMania. The PPVâ€™s name originated from WWFâ€™s lead ring announcer Howard Finkel, as a play on the Beatlemania of the 60s.

As WWFâ€™s inaugural PPV, the first-ever WrestleMania took place in 1985 at Madison Square Garden. Though WrestleMania 1 didnâ€™t manage to outshine the 1985 edition of Starrcade, which had a combined attendance of 30,000 people, it still managed to beat Starrcadeâ€™s debut attendance of 15,000, with over 19,000 people attending WrestleMania 1 in person, setting the stage for a PPV that would go on to become a household name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Evolution of WrestleMania</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania I-IV: The Foundation</b></h3>
Even with its debut, WrestleManiaâ€™s core tenet was â€œgo big or go homeâ€. WWF went all out, with a match card featuring wrestling greats like The Iron Sheikh, Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ricky Steamboat, David and Bruno Sammartino, and The Fabulous Moolah. In keeping with what would later become tradition, the flagship marquee event also featured several big names from the era, including boxing legend Muhammed Ali, pianist Liberace, pop sensation Cyndi Lauper, and New York Yankees manager Billy Martin.

The all-round success of WrestleMania 1 saw WWF overtake NWA and AWA (American Wrestling Association). The event was critical to the '80s wrestling boom, which saw a sharp increase in the demand for professional wrestling.

Shortly after, WrestleMania II took the show to another level, simultaneously taking place in three different venues across the country - New York, Chicago, and California. While initially received poorly, as the logistics of organizing a major wrestling event across three venues overtook the promotion, it set the stage yet again for WWF one-upping itself with each edition.

In comparison, WrestleMania III managed to outshine its previous iterations, having broken the record for the largest recorded attendance at an indoor live event in North America with a purported attendance of over 93,000 people, only broken by WrestleMania 32 in 2016. It was also iconic for its matches, with Ricky Steamboat vs Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant going down in history as two of the greatest matches in pro wrestling history. While not as iconic as its predecessor, WrestleMania IV featured the first appearance of Donald Trump at a Mania, marking the start of the relationship between the promotion and the Trump Organization.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania V-X: The Golden Era</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Golden Era was truly something to behold. The promotionâ€™s fame had skyrocketed, effectively cementing itself as a stalwart player in the pro wrestling industry. With the success of WrestleMania came the introduction of pay-per-views like SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and Survivor Series, meaning that the Golden Era had more to offer throughout the year.

However, WrestleManiaâ€™s popularity never waned with the addition of the new PPVs, as it continued to remain the biggest wrestling event in the country. WrestleMania saw some of the most legendary moments in WWE history in the early â€˜90s. Major feuds between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, and Shawn Michaels, aka Mr. WrestleMania, and Razor Ramon managed to outsell competitors in popularity.

The Golden Era of WWE served as a platform to cement the legacies of several WWE legends who have remained a household name till today, including Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, and The Ultimate Warrior. WrestleMania VII also saw the beginning of The Undertakerâ€™s Mania streak that would continue well into the 2010s.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XI-XX: Attitude Era Impact</b></h3>
WrestleMania during the Attitude Era saw the culmination of several iconic storylines coming to a head at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The PPV reached its peak during this period, with â€˜Stone Coldâ€™ Steve Austin beating Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XIV for the WWF Championship title, marking the first of six title reigns.

This also marked the beginning of the legendary rivalry between Austin and Dwayne â€˜The Rockâ€™ Johnson, the epitome of the Attitude Era. WrestleMania XV saw the first fight between the two pro wrestling stalwarts, where Stone Cold beat The Rock during the main event to win back the WWF Championship belt.

The beginning of the new Millennium also saw the introduction of the first-ever Triangle Ladder match, with the iconic tag teams The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, and Edge and Christian going against each other for the WWF Tag Team Championship. This era also saw the first-ever WrestleMania under the WWE at WrestleMania XIX, which also marked the end of Steve Austinâ€™s feud with The Rock.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania XXI-XXX: New Millennium Milestones</b></h3>
In keeping up with becoming bigger and better, WWE introduced the concept of the Money In The Back ladder match at WrestleMania 21, which would become a main fixture in the PLE. This period of WrestleMania managed to rival the Attitude Era, giving us iconic matches with The Undertaker vs Batista at WrestleMania 23 and Ric Flairâ€™s retirement match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXIV.

WrestleMania XXX in particular was something to behold, as The Undertakerâ€™s unbroken 22-year streak was finally broken by Brock Lesnar, rendering the WWE universe in awe. Other moments also include Daniel Bryanâ€™s rise to the top after an initial win against Triple H and a win against Randy Orton and Batista for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
<h3 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania during the 2010s</b></h3>
The latter half of the 2010s saw increased interest in WrestleMania as WrestleMania 32 broke the attendance record previously set by WrestleMania III, with an attendance of over 101,000 people. With WWE itself moving towards organizing events in international venues, this expanded the reach WrestleMania had with fans outside of the States. WrestleMania 35 was the first since 2000 to not feature The Undertaker, but more importantly, was also the first WrestleMania to feature a womanâ€™s main event, with a triple threat match between Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey.
<h3 style="text-align: center">WrestleMania in the 2020s</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 36</b></h4>
WrestleMania 36 was a plethora of WrestleMania firsts, with the first-ever edition of the PLE to be held across two nights and the first to not have a live audience due to pandemic restrictions. Considering restrictions, the 2020 iteration of Mania was widely regarded a success, especially in the backdrop of no live audiences, as well as several last-minute changes to the roster to account for potential health risks. This was also heightened by WWE deciding to play with its format, with a Firefly Fun House match with Bray Wyatt taking down John Cena.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 37</b></h4>
While WrestleMania 36 was an example of WWE making do, WrestleMania 37 saw the promotion come back bigger and better. The 37th iteration of The Show of Shows took place in Tampa, Florida, where the reduction in COVID-19 protocols meant more freedom for WrestleMania to have a live audience, albeit limited capacity and with restrictions to the audience.

This also marked the first WWE event to be livestreamed solely on Peacock, a product of the WWE Networkâ€™s earlier merger with Peacock in March of that year.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 38</b></h4>
WrestleMania 38 marked the year when WWE returned the Showcase of the Immortals to its full capacity, with over 131,000 people attending over the course of two days. This also led to the evolution of WrestleMania Weekend, with WWE kickstarting the PLE with a special edition of Friday Night SmackDown featuring an Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. The PLE also saw the surprise return of Cody Rhodes, as he took on Seth Rollins on Night 1, as well as Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar headlining the event on Night 2.
<h4 style="text-align: center"><b>WrestleMania 39</b></h4>
In its most recent iteration, WrestleMania continues to prove its worth as the biggest pro wrestling event in history, with Mania 39 grossing $21.6 million in ticket sales alone. The PLE saw the appearance of several modern WWE greats including John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio, Charlotte Flair, Edge, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes.

'The EST' of NXT is now the EST of WWE. Bianca Belair has been WWE's most impressive female wrestler since debuting on the black-and-yellow brand. Her cross-fit career brought her into the view of WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, who got her a WWE tryout. She joined the Performance Center in 2016 and made her NXT debut against Aliyah in a losing effort.

Belair took part in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, where she lost to eventual winner Kairi Sane. Her value in NXT rose in 2018 when she went on an undefeated streak. Along the way, she beat the likes of Candice Le Rae, Lacey Evans, Aliyah, Dakota Kai and Deonna Purrazzo. She beat Nikki Cross in their longstanding rivalry, sending the Twisted Sister to the main roster.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-281345 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200531224758/rhea-ripley-bianca-belair.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

Belair's signature braid became a big reason for her popularity, and she used it to whip her opponents during matches. Bianca had many attempts at winning the NXT Women's Championship but was unsuccessful.

She faced Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane and Io Shirai at NXT Takeover: New York, but submitted to Baszler's Kirafuda Clutch. Her last attempt at the NXT Women's Championship came at NXT Takeover: Portland, where she lost to Rhea Ripley.
<h2>WWE main roster (2020- present)</h2>

Bianca Belair has appeared on WWE's main roster prior to her actual call-up. She registered wonderful performances at Survivor Series 2019 and the 2020 Royal Rumble. Belair entered the 2020 Royal Rumble at #2, eliminated eight people, a Rumble match record, before being dumped out by Charlotte Flair.

At Survivor Series 2020, Belair almost saved SmackDown from certain embarrassment, but got counted out along with Nia Jax, giving Team Raw the win and Lana the sole survivor's mantle. Belair kicked off 2021 by winning the Royal Rumble match.

She then challenged and defeated Sasha Banks at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Women's Championship. Banks then defeated Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash to retain the title. Belair ultimately lost the title to returning Becky Lynch at SummerSlam in just half a minute.

As a part of the 2021 draft, Belair was drafted to Raw. At Survivor Series 2021, Belair performed incredibly to create history by becoming the first person to overcome a four-on-one handicap to win the traditional Survivor Series match.

Bianca Belair

Bianca Belair 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA &#8211; JULY 23: Bianca Belair onstage during the WWE SmackDown on day 1 at Rolling Loud Miami 2021at Hard Rock Stadium on July 23, 2021, in Miami Gardens, Florida. (Photo by Jason Koerner/Getty Images) &#8216;The EST&#8217; of NXT is now the EST of WWE. Bianca Belair has been WWE&#8217;s most impressive female wrestler since debuting on the black-and-yellow brand. Her cross-fit career brought her into the view of WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, who got her a WWE tryout. She joined the Performance Center in 2016 and made her NXT debut against Aliyah in a losing effort. Belair took part in the 2017 Mae Young Classic, where she lost to eventual winner Kairi Sane. Her value in NXT rose in 2018 when she went on an undefeated streak. Along the way, she beat the likes of Candice Le Rae, Lacey Evans, Aliyah, Dakota Kai and Deonna Purrazzo. She beat Nikki Cross in their longstanding rivalry, sending the Twisted Sister to the main roster. Belair&#8217;s signature braid became a big reason for her popularity, and she used it to whip her opponents during matches. Bianca had many attempts at winning the NXT Women&#8217;s Championship but was unsuccessful. She faced Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane and Io Shirai at NXT Takeover: New York, but submitted to Baszler&#8217;s Kirafuda Clutch. Her last attempt at the NXT Women&#8217;s Championship came at NXT Takeover: Portland, where she lost to Rhea Ripley. WWE main roster (2020- present) Bianca Belair has appeared on WWE&#8217;s main roster prior to her actual call-up. She registered wonderful performances at Survivor Series 2019 and the 2020 Royal Rumble. Belair entered the 2020 Royal Rumble at #2, eliminated eight people, a Rumble match record, before being dumped out by Charlotte Flair. At Survivor Series 2020, Belair almost saved SmackDown from certain embarrassment, but got counted out along with Nia Jax, giving Team Raw the win and Lana the sole survivor&#8217;s mantle. Belair kicked off 2021 by winning the Royal Rumble match. She then challenged and defeated Sasha Banks at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Women&#8217;s Championship. Banks then defeated Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash to retain the title. Belair ultimately lost the title to returning Becky Lynch at SummerSlam in just half a minute. As a part of the 2021 draft, Belair was drafted to Raw. At Survivor Series 2021, Belair performed incredibly to create history by becoming the first person to overcome a four-on-one handicap to win the traditional Survivor Series match. Bianca Belair Net Worth 2022 The former SmackDown Women&#8217;s Champion winner has a net worth of $5 million. Bianca Belair Achievements Belair is the winner of the 2021 Royal Rumble. However, her biggest feat in the company came when she won the SmackDown Women&#8217;s Championship from Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 37, starting a dream run for The EST. On top of that, Belair won the 2021 ESPY Award alongside Sasha Banks for the best WWE moment. The moment was when these two superstars became the first-ever African-American to face each other in the main event of WrestleMania. Personal Life Belair is married to fellow professional wrestler Kenneth Crawford, also known as Montez Ford, one half of The Street Profits. The couple got married in June 2018. Belair is now the stepmother to Ford&#8217;s children from his previous marriage. How to contact Bianca Belair?

<h1 class="acss2f015">Bobby Lashley 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h1>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-434455 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/bobby-lashley-3.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

WWE believes in giving its best superstars second chances, and Bobby Lashley is one of those who is making the best out of it. Probably one of the most impressive physical specimens in wrestling, Lashley is a freak of nature. For a man of his size and strength, he's as nimble as a cat. His extended MMA background gives him a distinct advantage over his fellow superstars.

Bobby Lashley began his wrestling career in 2005, wrestling dark matches on Raw and SmackDown. He made his live television debut on SmackDown in 2005, beating Shawn Dean in his debut match. He beat Dean in his PPV debut as well at No Mercy.

Lashley would dominate superstars on Raw, until he ran into top stars like JBL and Booker T. Booker T beat Lashley in the King of the Ring finals, but he won the United States Championship from JBL two days later. One year after his PPV debut, Lashley headed into No Mercy 2005 to win the World Heavyweight Championship, but was unsuccessful.
<h2>ECW and WWE Championship pursuits</h2>
[caption id="attachment_457640" align="aligncenter" width="1200"]<img class="wp-image-457640" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-115430029-401x315.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="942" /> Bobby Lashley during Donald Trump and WWE News Conference for WrestleMania 23 at Trump Tower in New York City, New York, United States. (Photo by George Napolitano/FilmMagic)[/caption]

Lashley shocked the world by going to ECW, where he won the ECW Championship at the horrid December to Dismember PPV. He defended the title frequently, restoring some of its credibility, but lost it in the most humiliating way. In a 3 on 1 handicap match, Vince McMahon pinned Lashley to win the ECW Championship. Prior to this, Lashley played a role in Vince's humiliating head-shaving moment at WrestleMania 23.

Prior to leaving WWE, Lashley made two attempts at winning the WWE Championship too. Both times, John Cena successfully retained the championship, including in an excellent Great American Bash title match.
<h2>TNA/Impact Wrestling (2007-2018)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-567519 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210228145133/bobby-lashley-tna.jpg" alt="" width="1400" height="1400" />

Lashley found success in TNA/IMPACT Wrestling, making WWE realise they lost a good one. From 2007 to 2010, Lashley feuded with some of the biggest names in TNA. He faced the likes of Samoa Joe, Scott Steiner, Kurt Angle and Kevin Nash.

Lashley left TNA to focus on his MMA career, but returned in 2014. In his second run, he became the first African-American TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and held it for three months, losing it to Robert Roode. He won the title once again, before losing it to Kurt Angle in January 2015. Lashley would have four reigns with the TNA/IMPACT World Championship.
<h2>Return to WWE (2018- Present)</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-432677 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Lashley-Champ-1280x720-1.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" />

Bobby Lashley returned to WWE after WrestleMania 34, attacking Elias. He soon inserted himself into the Universal Title picture. Unfortunately, he was beaten by Roman Reigns who went on to beat Lesnar at SummerSlam. After that, Lashley lost a lot of momentum and turned heel. In January 2019, he beat Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental Championship. He then began feuding with Finn Balor, to whom he lost at WrestleMania 35.

Lashley would feud with the Shield and Braun Strowman in 2019, before he became embroiled in a feud with Rusev over his wife Lana. Lana and Lashley would torment Rusev in an intensely personal and vulgar storyline. Fans rejected the storyline, and once Rusev left WWE, Lashley found a new challenge as the CEO of the Hurt Business.

He won the United States Championship from Apollo Crews at the Payback PPV and held the title till Elimination Chamber 2021. After losing the title to Riddle, Lashley shifted his focus to the WWE Championship.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-932343" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Lashley-2.jpg" alt="" width="1359" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Eventually, Lashley fulfilled his destiny when he </span><span style="font-weight: 400">defeated The Miz in a lumberjack match to win the WWE Championship for the first time in his career. From then on, Lashley went on a dominating streak where he defeated stars like Kofi Kingston and Goldberg, and Randy Orton. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, ‘The Almighty’ lost the title on an episode of Monday Night Raw when Big E surprisingly cashed in his Money in the Bank contract after Lashley’s grueling match with Orton.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After losing the title, Lashley re-ignited his feud with Goldberg and lost at the Crown Jewel PPV. Eventually, Lashley took some time off the TV and returned on Monday Night Raw.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, he soon fixed his target, and the target was the newly crowned WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar. Seeing the opportunity, WWE booked the first-ever one-on-one match between Lashley and Lesnar at this year’s Royal Rumble PPV.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">During the bout, Lashley surprised the WWE Universe when he displayed the equivalent strength as Lesnar. Eventually, Lashley won the match, thanks to the interference from Roman Reigns. Thus, Lashley won the WWE Championship for the second time in his career.</span>
<h2>MMA career</h2>
<img class="aligncenter wp-image-517732 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210117111255/010_Bobby_Lashley.0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" />

Similar to Jake Hager and Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley holds a supremely impressive MMA record. He has competed in promotions like Shark Fights, Strikeforce, Titan Fighting Championships, India's Super Fight League and Bellator MMA.

He has a record of 15-2-0. His two losses came against Chad Griggs and James Thompson. Thompson beat him in New Delhi, India, but Lashley got his revenge at Bellator 145, knocking him out in 0:54.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Drew McIntyre: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</strong></h2>
<h2><b>Who is Drew McIntyre?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Andrew McLean Galloway IV, a Scottish professional wrestler, is presently signed with WWE. He competes on the Raw brand under the ring name Drew McIntyre. He began his career in 2001 in the United Kingdom and has won the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships. McIntyre is also known for his stint with Impact Wrestling, previously known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). McIntyre has also worked with several independent wrestling promotions, including Insane Championship Wrestling, Evolve, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and What Culture Pro Wrestling (WCPW).</span>
<h2><b>Drew McIntyreâ€™s early lifeÂ </b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">McIntyre was born in Ayr on June 6, 1985. He grew up in nearby Prestwick, where he attended Prestwick Academy. He considered becoming a professional soccer player when he was younger, playing for the youth team Prestwick Boys, mostly in defensive positions.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">As a child, he was a fan of professional wrestling and began training at the age of 15, with his parents agreeing to support him as long as he focused equally on his education. He consented and eventually earned a masterâ€™s degree in criminology from Glasgow Caledonian University.</span>
<h2><b>Drew McIntyreâ€™s Wife and Children</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">McIntyre was engaged to American professional wrestler Taryn Terrell in July 2009 while both were performing for WWE, and the two wed in Las Vegas in May 2010. They got divorced in May 2011.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He then met doctor Kaitlyn Frohnapfel at a bar in 2013, and the two married on December 10, 2016. The pair now resides in Nashville, Tennessee, after previously living in Tampa, Florida.</span>
<h2><b>Drew McIntyre Net Worth 2024 (Update)</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Various sources estimate McIntyreâ€™s net worth at $2 million as of 2024. Although his contract with the WWE has not been made public, McIntyre has an approximate salary of $1 million. His appearance in WWE games published by 2K, his book A Chosen Destiny: My Story and his upcoming performance in The Killerâ€™s Game likely gave a handsome bump to his salary.Â </span>

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1659919" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/drew-mcintyree-473x315.jpg" alt="" width="473" height="315" />
<h2><b>Drew McIntyre Career Timeline</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">McIntyre began his wrestling career in 2001 in the United Kingdom. He got a developmental deal with WWE in 2007 and was assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling. In 2009, he worked on SmackDown as The Chosen One, winning both the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship. During the following years,</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">McIntyre went on to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship over John Morrison at the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs event but lost it to Kofi Kingston at the 2010 Over the Limit. He also won the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside Cody Rhodes at the 2010 Night of Champions. Later in the year, the two would lose the Bragging Rights competition. McIntyre would continue to participate in matches for various titles but always found himself falling short of the finish line.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">2012 saw McIntyre form the trio 3MB, with Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater. The trio would attempt to wreak havoc but always fell short. Slater and McIntyre would then lose the WWE Tag Team Championship match as they challenged Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane). He assumed a role as a low-card wrestler for the faction. He was released from his contract in 2014.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2014, McIntyre was released from the WWE.Â </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He would go on to join the Insane Championship Wrestling in June 2014. At Fear &amp; Loathing VII, later in the year, he would become the ICW Heavyweight Champion. In his first foreign ICW title defense, McIntyre competed in a double championship triple threat match against Dansk Pro Wrestling Champion Michael Fynne and Chaos, where he both retained the ICW title and won the DPW Heavyweight Championship.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He joined TNA in 2015 and won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship as well as the Impact Grand Championship. He wrestled under the ring name Drew Galloway and kept at it until he received the golden call from WWE again.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After returning to WWE two years later, McIntyre won the NXT Championship and was promoted to the main roster. He won the 2020 Royal Rumble, which earned him a WWE Championship battle against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36. He went on to defeat Brock Lesnar, winning the WWE Championship for the first time in his career. He defended the title in several matches until losing it to Randy Orton in Hell in a Cell. He would become a two-time WWE Champion on the November 16 edition of Raw, defeating Orton to restore his championship status.</span>

<img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-673530" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Drew-McIntyre-sword-entry-560x315.jpg" alt="" width="560" height="315" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">McIntyre defended his championship against superstars, including A.J. Styles and The Miz, who cashed in on his Money in the Bank contract at TLC PPV. Furthermore, at the Royal Rumble PPV, the Scottish Warrior defeated Keith Lee and defended his title against WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, McIntyre lost his championship when Miz cashed in his Money In the Bank contract (which he was able to reclaim due to a contractual loophole) at the 2021 Elimination Chamber. Prior to Miz cashing in his Money in the Bank, Bobby Lashley assaulted McIntyre, after which The Miz used the Skull-Crushing Finale to pin McIntyre and win the WWE Championship, therefore ending McIntyreâ€™s second reign as Champion.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Scottish wrestler would contest for the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and the Intercontinental Champion, but they failed to achieve both belts. He would also challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Champion and failed in his initial attempt. After earning a chance to compete against Rollins in WrestleMania 40, he would win by pinfall. After his victory, a brawl would break out between him and CM Punk as McIntyre mocked the former UFC fighter. Punk would go on to thrash McIntyre, which was followed by Damian Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank, to then pin the Champion and win in 9 seconds.</span>
<h2><b>Drew McIntyre Contracts</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Scotsman has signed a contract with the WWE, which pays $1 million each year. As per various sources, his base salary is a handsome $550,000.Â </span>
<h2><b>Drew McIntyre Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">McIntyre is sponsored by the protein snack brand, Slim Jim.Â </span>
<h2><b>Drew McIntyre's Career stats</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Scottish Psychopath has competed in 899 WWE matches so far. He has won 369 bouts, which helped him earn a win percentage of 41.05%. He has lost 511 matches, with 19 draws.Â </span>

Drew McIntyre: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More Who is Drew McIntyre? Andrew McLean Galloway IV, a Scottish professional wrestler, is presently signed with WWE. He competes on the Raw brand under the ring name Drew McIntyre. He began his career in 2001 in the United Kingdom and has won the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships. McIntyre is also known for his stint with Impact Wrestling, previously known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). McIntyre has also worked with several independent wrestling promotions, including Insane Championship Wrestling, Evolve, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and What Culture Pro Wrestling (WCPW). Drew McIntyreâ€™s early lifeÂ  McIntyre was born in Ayr on June 6, 1985. He grew up in nearby Prestwick, where he attended Prestwick Academy. He considered becoming a professional soccer player when he was younger, playing for the youth team Prestwick Boys, mostly in defensive positions. As a child, he was a fan of professional wrestling and began training at the age of 15, with his parents agreeing to support him as long as he focused equally on his education. He consented and eventually earned a masterâ€™s degree in criminology from Glasgow Caledonian University. Drew McIntyreâ€™s Wife and Children McIntyre was engaged to American professional wrestler Taryn Terrell in July 2009 while both were performing for WWE, and the two wed in Las Vegas in May 2010. They got divorced in May 2011.Â  He then met doctor Kaitlyn Frohnapfel at a bar in 2013, and the two married on December 10, 2016. The pair now resides in Nashville, Tennessee, after previously living in Tampa, Florida. Drew McIntyre Net Worth 2024 (Update) Various sources estimate McIntyreâ€™s net worth at $2 million as of 2024. Although his contract with the WWE has not been made public, McIntyre has an approximate salary of $1 million. His appearance in WWE games published by 2K, his book A Chosen Destiny: My Story and his upcoming performance in The Killerâ€™s Game likely gave a handsome bump to his salary.Â  Drew McIntyre Career Timeline McIntyre began his wrestling career in 2001 in the United Kingdom. He got a developmental deal with WWE in 2007 and was assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling and Florida Championship Wrestling. In 2009, he worked on SmackDown as The Chosen One, winning both the WWE Intercontinental Championship and the WWE Tag Team Championship. During the following years, McIntyre went on to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship over John Morrison at the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs event but lost it to Kofi Kingston at the 2010 Over the Limit. He also won the WWE Tag Team Championship alongside Cody Rhodes at the 2010 Night of Champions. Later in the year, the two would lose the Bragging Rights competition. McIntyre would continue to participate in matches for various titles but always found himself falling short of the finish line.Â  2012 saw McIntyre form the trio 3MB, with Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater. The trio would attempt to wreak havoc but always fell short. Slater and McIntyre would then lose the WWE Tag Team Championship match as they challenged Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan and Kane). He assumed a role as a low-card wrestler for the faction. He was released from his contract in 2014. In 2014, McIntyre was released from the WWE.Â  He would go on to join the Insane Championship Wrestling in June 2014. At Fear &amp; Loathing VII, later in the year, he would become the ICW Heavyweight Champion. In his first foreign ICW title defense, McIntyre competed in a double championship triple threat match against Dansk Pro Wrestling Champion Michael Fynne and Chaos, where he both retained the ICW title and won the DPW Heavyweight Championship. He joined TNA in 2015 and won the TNA World Heavyweight Championship as well as the Impact Grand Championship. He wrestled under the ring name Drew Galloway and kept at it until he received the golden call from WWE again. After returning to WWE two years later, McIntyre won the NXT Championship and was promoted to the main roster. He won the 2020 Royal Rumble, which earned him a WWE Championship battle against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36. He went on to defeat Brock Lesnar, winning the WWE Championship for the first time in his career. He defended the title in several matches until losing it to Randy Orton in Hell in a Cell. He would become a two-time WWE Champion on the November 16 edition of Raw, defeating Orton to restore his championship status. McIntyre defended his championship against superstars, including A.J. Styles and The Miz, who cashed in on his Money in the Bank contract at TLC PPV. Furthermore, at the Royal Rumble PPV, the Scottish Warrior defeated Keith Lee and defended his title against WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. However, McIntyre lost his championship when Miz cashed in his Money In the Bank contract (which he was able to reclaim due to a contractual loophole) at the 2021 Elimination Chamber. Prior to Miz cashing in his Money in the Bank, Bobby Lashley assaulted McIntyre, after which The Miz used the Skull-Crushing Finale to pin McIntyre and win the WWE Championship, therefore ending McIntyreâ€™s second reign as Champion. The Scottish wrestler would contest for the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion and the Intercontinental Champion, but they failed to achieve both belts. He would also challenge Seth Rollins for the World Heavyweight Champion and failed in his initial attempt. After earning a chance to compete against Rollins in WrestleMania 40, he would win by pinfall. After his victory, a brawl would break out between him and CM Punk as McIntyre mocked the former UFC fighter. Punk would go on to thrash McIntyre, which was followed by Damian Priest cashing in his Money in the Bank, to then pin the Champion and win in 9 seconds.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banks: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Husband and More</b></h2>
Mercedes Kestner-Varnado, better known as Sasha Banks, is a female professional wrestler currently working as a free agent. There have been strong rumors of the professional wrestler signing a contract soon either with WWE or AEW. She established herself as one of the top stars of the division during her time in WWE owing to her spectacular performance in the SmackDown brand.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banks' early life</b></h2>
Sasha Banks was born on January 26, 1992, in Fairfield, California to Reo Varnado and Judith Varnardo. Sasha takes up African-American ethnicity from her dad while her mother hailed from Germany. The professional wrestler and her brother Joshua Kaestner Varando were mostly raised by her mother as their father abandoned them during childhood. Moreover, Banks had a rather tough time growing up as she constantly moved places because of her autistic sibling. She mostly completed her education via an online medium.

Meanwhile, one surprising thing about the superstar is that she has good connections in the music industry as Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Brandy Norwood, and Ray. J are her cousins from her father's side.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ husband and children</b></h2>
Sasha Banks found love and her life partner in the former wrestler Sarath Ton, who was famous by his ring name Mikaze. The two met each other in 2010, as they were a part of the autonomous wrestling circuit and connected over their love for wrestling gear. As of now, Ton works as a costume designer in WWE and the couple does not have any kids.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ net worth 2024</b></h2>
As per Celebrity Net Worth, Banks has a net worth of $4 million. Her WWE contract offered her a salary of $250,000 per year. Ever since the success of the main event of the WrestleMania 37 match between Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair, the company gave Banks several chances to shine on the main roster and hence WWE increased her salary from $180,000 to $250,000. As of now, the star is earning $100,000 for every appearance as a free agent.

The brands also make sure to benefit from Sasha's social media following and thus she gets paid a handsome amount of $13,543 for every sponsorship post. Apart from endorsing brands like First We Feast and Kanndela, Banks also earns well through other sources of income like modeling and acting. She made he debut in Tinseltown with the series <em>The Mandalorian.Â </em>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Sasha Banksâ€™ career timeline</b></h2>
Sasha started her training as a professional wrestler back in 2008. She performed for Chaotic Wrestling and debuted in an inter-gender tag team match. The ride was long and hard for her as she continued to lose all her initial matches, with a WWE run seeming very far. However, she exceeded all expectations. Her immaculate in-ring skills, along with her infectious energy and fire-spitting promise, quickly made her a valuable commodity. She even won the Chaotic Wrestling Women's Championship.

In 2011, NXT, the developmental brand of WWE, was looking to rebuild itself from scratch with some tough wrestlers and signed Sasha Banks. Her first-ever WWE match was against fan-favorite Paige. Even though she lost, she captured the attention of the fans. Her NXT run coincided with a never-before-seen elevation of women's wrestling in WWE. Many credit her along with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charlotte-flair">Charlotte Flair</a>, Bayley, and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/becky-lynch">Becky Lynch</a> for ushering in the women's revolution.

Sasha had a storied rivalry with Charlotte Flair going from best friends to worst enemies. She defeated Flair to become the NXT Women's Champion, immediately making clear that <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/triple-h/">Triple H</a> had big plans for her career. Her "The Boss" persona resonated with the fans and represented the modern female professional wrestler.

When Sasha finally left NXT, she did it in the best fashion possible. She lost to Bayley in a match that many call the best women's wrestling match in WWE history. After dropping the NXT Championship, she made her main roster debut on Raw as part of a stable with Tamina and Naomi.

She was part of the batch of wrestlers introduced by Stephanie McMahon, who revolutionized main-roster wrestling. Sasha would continue her fine run on the main roster again, feuding with Charlotte where the two even faced off in the first-ever women's Hell in a Cell match. She also had notable rivalries with Bayley and Becky Lynch on the main roster.

Sasha Banks entered a profitable partnership with Bayley in 2020, turning heel shockingly. She then won every belt in the WWE Women's division with Bayley, and the duo called themselves the 'Golden Role Models'. After a dramatic deterioration, Bayley turned on Banks, igniting a heated rivalry between the two. Sasha Banks came out on top after a thrilling match at Hell in a Cell, capturing the SmackDown Women's Championship from Bayley.

At present, she is working as a free agent and is expected to join either WWE or AEW.
