Michael Cole has been trending on Twitter since WrestleMania 37 Night 1 went off the air.
After Bianca Belair pinned Sasha Banks to capture the Smackdown Women’s Championship in the main event, Cole blew the call, claiming that Banks kicked out of the KOD. Cole then tried to defend his botch on the replay, noting that it would have been easier to believe that Banks kicked out of Belair’s finishing move.
Twitter reacted strongly to Cole’s botch. However, many fans also praised Cole for putting over Belair and Banks as the first pair of African American women to main event a WrestleMania.
Some fans also picked on Cole for calling WrestleMania “WrestleRainia” after the event was delayed due to bad weather.
See below for some of the tweets:
Bianca Belair is the champion!!!

Michael Cole said “For the first time ever two black women have a title match in the main event of wrestlemania” with his whole chest. And im glad he did cause some of them was very scared to say it

Michael Cole acknowledging that two block women are main eventing Wrestlemania for the first time. I knew he was my favourite commentator for a reason
