Following a historic 2024, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, assured fans that “you ain’t seen nothing’ yet.” This weekend, WWE delivers on that promise on the grandest stage of them all.
WrestleMania 41 will light up the Las Vegas Strip on April 19 and 20 at Allegiant Stadium. The action kicks off at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. ET for pre-show) and will be streamed exclusively on Peacock.
Titles will change hands, scores will be settled, and legends will be born at the Showcase of the Immortals. Here’s your guide to the must-see matches of WrestleMania weekend – and who’s going to win them.
NIGHT 1
World Heavyweight Championship – Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso
“Main Event” Jey Uso has always come up short against the almighty Gunther, but a victory at the 2024 Royal Rumble has earned him one last shot to conquer the “Ring General.”
A few weeks ago, Gunther zip-tied Jey to the ropes and proceeded to beat his brother, Jimmy, to a bloody pulp right in front of him. Uso won’t just be challenging for the belt at WrestleMania, he’ll be fighting for his family.
Prediction: Jey Uso YEET’s with the crowd as new World Heavyweight champ
WWE Women’s Championship – Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
One of WWE’s fastest-rising stars will defend her Women’s Championship against the most decorated female competitor in company history. The rivalry between Stratton and Flair has turned “heated, personal, and ugly,” and it all comes to a head on Saturday night.
Prediction: Tiffany Stratton sends Charlotte Flair to the Stratosphere
Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins
CM Punk’s dream of headlining WrestleMania finally comes true in a triple-threat match against former Shield members turned bitter rivals – Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
The Chicago-native cashed in his lauded favor from Paul Heyman and will have his best friend (and Reigns’ wiseman) in his corner for the first time since 2012. But after Monday Night Raw on April 7, Rollins is owed a favor of his own.
Prediction: Seth Rollins gets his hand raised as the newest “Paul Heyman Guy”
NIGHT 2
AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
Karrion Kross sacrificed himself in his match against AJ Styles last Monday, hoping to bring out the best of the “Phenomenal One” for his match against viral sensation Logan Paul.
Like many others in the business, Styles and Kross grinded for over a decade to make it to the WWE. Meanwhile, Paul utilized his internet fame to fast-track his way to the top of the company.
It’s more than just a match – Styles is defending the legacy of the sacred squared circle.
Prediction: AJ Styles disregards Logan Paul like an empty Prime bottle
Women’s World Championship – Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley has been on an absolute rampage since losing her Women’s World title to Iyo Sky ahead of the Show of Shows, clawing her way into what was originally meant to be a one-on-one bout between Sky and the winner of the women’s Elimination Chamber, Bianca Belair.
But with Ripley and Belair locked in on settling their personal rivalry, they might be overlooking the current champion.
Prediction: Iyo Sky eradicates the “Eradicator” and bests the “EST”
Undisputed WWE Championship – Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena
In the unforgettable conclusion to WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes ended the 1,316-day reign of Roman Reigns to finish his story and become the first WWE champion in his family’s history. On Sunday night, he’ll defend his belt against one of the people who helped him win it in the first place – John Cena.
Ahead of his final WrestleMania, Cena sold his soul to The Rock in a shocking heel turn, blinded by his ambition to capture a record-breaking 17th world championship. Cena promised to “ruin wrestling” by winning the belt and retiring with it around his waist.
Prediction: John Cena hears “and new” for a record-breaking 17th time
