The bright lights of Las Vegas are set to shine even brighter. WWE is preparing to bring its grandest spectacle, WrestleMania, back to Sin City. This marks the first time in over three decades. WrestleMania 41 promises a weekend of high-stakes action. It includes dramatic storyline culminations. The unparalleled pageantry that only WWE’s flagship event can deliver will be there. Allegiant Stadium will host the two-night extravaganza on Saturday, April 19th, and Sunday, April 20th, 2025. This event signifies a significant return to Las Vegas. It’s a city intertwined with one of WrestleMania’s most unique chapters. WrestleMania IX was a controversial moment in wrestling history.
This preview delves into everything fans need to know about WrestleMania 41. It includes the confirmed details and championship landscapes. Also covered are the simmering feuds, rampant rumors, and the full fan experience awaiting in Las Vegas.
Setting the Stage: Confirmed Details for WrestleMania 41
WWE officially announced WrestleMania 41. It is also marketed as “WrestleMania Vegas.” The event will take place at the state-of-the-art Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. It is the home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders. The event is scheduled for Saturday, April 19th, 2025. It will continue on Sunday, April 20th, 2025. This marks the first time WrestleMania will be held over Easter weekend. The main card for both nights is set to begin at 7:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM PT.
This will be the second WrestleMania hosted in the Las Vegas area. The first was WrestleMania IX back in 1993. It was held at the outdoor venue constructed at Caesars Palace. The decision to return to Las Vegas beat out finalists like Minneapolis. Reportedly, WWE’s new ownership structure under TKO Group Holdings influenced this decision. TKO Group Holdings also owns the Las Vegas-based UFC. This connection suggests a potential emphasis on making WrestleMania 41 a massive success. WWE might aim to create a more positive Vegas legacy compared to the often-criticized WrestleMania IX. Allegiant Stadium is a modern venue that previously hosted WWE SummerSlam in 2021. This choice signals WWE’s intent to present a show on a grand scale. This is far removed from the makeshift setting of its 1993 predecessor.
Fans worldwide can watch WrestleMania 41 live on Peacock in the United States. For the first time for WrestleMania, it will be available on Netflix in most international markets. This follows a landmark 10-year rights deal that began in January 2025. Traditional pay-per-view options will also be available.
The Championship Landscape: Who Holds the Gold Heading into Vegas?
The road to WrestleMania is paved with gold, and the status of WWE’s major championships dictates the marquee matchups. As WrestleMania 41 approaches, here’s a look at the current titleholders across Raw and SmackDown (as of mid-April 2025, based on available data):
| Championship | Brand | Current Champion(s) | Reign | Date Won | Days Held (approx.) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Undisputed WWE Championship | SmackDown | Cody Rhodes | 1 | April 7, 2024 | 370+ | Defeated Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XL |
| World Heavyweight Championship | Raw | Gunther | 1 | August 3, 2024 | 250+ | Defeated Damian Priest at SummerSlam |
| Women’s World Championship | Raw | Iyo Sky | 1 | March 3, 2025 | 40+ | Defeated Rhea Ripley on Raw |
| WWE Women’s Championship | SmackDown | Tiffany Stratton | 1 | January 3, 2025 | 100+ | Cashed in Money in the Bank on Nia Jax |
| WWE Intercontinental Championship | Raw | Bron Breakker | 2 | October 21, 2024 | 170+ | Defeated Jey Uso on Raw |
| WWE United States Championship | SmackDown | LA Knight | 2 | March 7, 2025 | 35+ | Defeated Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown |
| World Tag Team Championship | Raw | The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) | 2 | December 16, 2024 | 115+ | Defeated The Judgment Day on Raw |
| WWE Tag Team Championship | SmackDown | The Street Profits (Dawkins & Ford) | 2 | March 14, 2025 | 30+ | Defeated #DIY on SmackDown |
| WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship | Open | Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez | 3 | February 24, 2025 | 45+ | Defeated Bianca Belair & Naomi on Raw |
| WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship | Raw | Lyra Valkyria | 1 | January 13, 2025 | 90+ | Inaugural Champion; Defeated Dakota Kai in tournament final |
| WWE Women’s United States Championship | SmackDown | Chelsea Green | 1 | December 14, 2024 | 120+ | Inaugural Champion; Defeated Michin in tournament final |
The reigns of Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Gunther provide stability. They represent significant strength at the top of the men’s division. Both champions have held their titles since mid-2024. This contrasts with the women’s world title scenes, which saw changes closer to WrestleMania season. The Women’s Intercontinental and United States Championships were introduced in late 2024 or early 2025. This adds new layers to the women’s divisions. These new titles provide more opportunities. However, they also require showcase moments, like those potentially available at WrestleMania, to establish their prestige.
The Road to Vegas: Key Storylines and PLE Fallout
Recent Premium Live Events (PLEs) were crucial in shaping the WrestleMania 41 card. Events like the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber helped define its central narratives.
- Royal Rumble 2025 (Recap & Implications):
- The event set the stage for two major world title matches. Raw’s Jey Uso won the Men’s Royal Rumble match. He last eliminated John Cena. By winning, he earned the right to challenge for a world title. He subsequently chose to challenge Raw’s World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther.
- SmackDown’s Charlotte Flair made history by becoming the first two-time Women’s Royal Rumble winner, last eliminating NXT’s Roxanne Perez. Flair targeted SmackDown’s WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton.
- Other notable results included Cody Rhodes retaining the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens in a Ladder Match. Additionally, #DIY retained the WWE Tag Team Championship against the Motor City Machine Guns.
- Elimination Chamber 2025 (Recap & Implications):
- This event proved pivotal, drastically altering storylines and character trajectories. John Cena won the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, securing the WrestleMania main event spot against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Seth Rollins played a key role in the finish. He interfered after his elimination to attack CM Punk with a Stomp. This left Punk vulnerable for Cena to eliminate him and win.
- The most shocking development was Cena’s subsequent heel turn. Rhodes rejected an offer from The Rock following the Chamber match. After that, Cena shockingly aligned himself with The Rock and Travis Scott. They launched a brutal assault on Rhodes. This betrayal fundamentally defines the narrative for the Night 2 main event.
- Bianca Belair won the Women’s Elimination Chamber match, overcoming the early drama of Jade Cargill’s return and attack on Naomi. This victory initially positioned her to challenge then-champion Rhea Ripley. However, Iyo Sky’s subsequent title win and Ripley invoking her rematch clause led to the match becoming a Triple Threat.
- Jade Cargill made her impactful return during the Women’s Chamber match, attacking Naomi. This revealed Naomi as the previously unknown assailant. She had taken Cargill out months prior. This set up their intense grudge match for WrestleMania.
- Elsewhere on the card, Kevin Owens defeated Sami Zayn in a violent Unsanctioned Match. The team of Tiffany Stratton & WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus defeated Nia Jax & Candice LeRae.
The progression from Royal Rumble to Elimination Chamber demonstrates a clear narrative structure. Rumble victories directly established championship pursuits (Jey vs. Gunther, Flair vs. Stratton). The outcomes and major events within the Elimination Chamber – Cena’s win and turn, Belair’s victory amidst chaos, Cargill’s return and revelation – served as crucial catalysts, either creating new WrestleMania matches (Cargill vs. Naomi) or dramatically reshaping existing ones (Rhodes vs. Cena, the Women’s World Title picture). These events function as interconnected stepping stones on the road to WrestleMania. Furthermore, Elimination Chamber acted as a significant turning point for key characters. Cena’s transformation from perennial hero to shocking villain heightened the drama. Cargill’s shift from injured victim to focused avenger was pivotal. Naomi’s unmasking as the attacker added intrigue. Belair’s resilient win after her partner was taken out intensified the emotional stakes. These changes all dramatically heightened the personal stakes and emotional investment in their respective WrestleMania encounters.
The Vegas Rumor Mill: What’s Buzzing for WrestleMania 41?
WrestleMania season is always rife with speculation. Las Vegas is buzzing with rumors about potential matches and surprise appearances. There are also rumors about the status of key superstars. Rumors should always be approached with caution. However, whispers from reputable sources like PWInsider, Fightful, and the Wrestling Observer carry weight. They often prove to be accurate.
- Potential Match Additions/Confirmations:
- AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul: This match is confirmed. The dynamic pits the veteran Phenomenal One against the high-profile, athletic celebrity in Paul. Paul, despite his popularity, is noted as needing a significant win after a period without many victories.
- Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre (Sin City Street Fight): This match is confirmed. It features a stipulation perfectly suited for the Las Vegas setting. The expected physical intensity between the two competitors is high. McIntyre is often predicted to win this encounter.
- Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano (Chad Gable?): This confirmed bout centers around Gable’s transformation into the masked luchador El Grande Americano, seemingly after traveling to Mexico to learn the craft. Mysterio’s LWO faction is involved in a feud with Gable’s American Made group. Speculation points towards a potential unmasking of Gable. This may happen after a Mysterio victory.
- Surprise Returns & Appearances:
- “Stone Cold” Steve Austin: The Texas Rattlesnake’s name consistently surfaces in speculation. He will soon be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for his iconic WrestleMania 13 match against Bret Hart. This event places him in Las Vegas during Mania week. He is also scheduled for meet-and-greets at WWE World. The storyline involving Cody Rhodes facing the combined threat of John Cena, The Rock, and Travis Scott creates an opening. It makes sense for a legendary equalizer to emerge. Austin’s legendary rivalry with The Rock adds fuel to this fire. Austin has intensified the situation with comments like “Anything can happen”.
- Becky Lynch: “The Man” has been absent from WWE television for nearly a year. Reports suggest she signed a new contract in January 2025, making a return technically possible. Her star power could undoubtedly provide a significant boost to the women’s division. However, some sources argue against a Mania return. They cite a lack of a clear storyline entry point. They also suggest WWE might save her comeback for a later date.
- Rusev (Miro): Following his departure from AEW, reports indicate the former “Bulgarian Brute” has re-signed with WWE. His return could happen at any time, and WrestleMania provides the grandest stage. He’s been mentioned as a potential surprise opponent, possibly filling the vacant spot against Randy Orton. I for one can’t wait to have RUSEV DAY! again.
- Aleister Black (Malakai Black): Cryptic vignettes airing on WWE programming have heavily teased the return of Aleister Black. He is another talent reportedly re-signing after a stint in AEW. WrestleMania could be when he re-emerges. He might start a new feud by targeting someone like Randy Orton, AJ Styles, or LA Knight.
- Brock Lesnar: Despite Cody Rhodes referencing him on SmackDown, Lesnar’s return seems highly unlikely for WrestleMania 41. He remains inactive due to his name being linked to the Vince McMahon lawsuit. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H has stated Lesnar’s status is unchanged, simply being “home being Brock”. This situation serves as a reminder that real-world circumstances can supersede creative desires, tempering expectations for some rumored returns.
- Other Names Floated: The rumor mill has also churned out several names. The list includes Bad Bunny who might aid Cody Rhodes. Another name is Rikishi, potentially supporting his son Jey Uso. Trish Stratus may interfere in the Stratton/Flair match. Others include Goldberg and the Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane, potentially cleared from injuries). Ilja Dragunov is recovering from injury. Tonga Loa is also recovering from injury. Omos and even Ronda Rousey are on the list.
- Randy Orton’s Uncertain Status:
- One of the biggest question marks hangs over Randy Orton. Originally slated to face Kevin Owens, that match was canceled when Owens suffered a neck injury requiring surgery. Orton expressed his disappointment for Owens and reportedly helped him connect with a surgeon for a second opinion.
- Despite being left without an opponent, Orton remains determined to have a WrestleMania moment. He stated he’s staying optimistic and believes his star power warrants at least an RKO on the grand stage. His frustration manifested in an RKO delivered to SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis.
- This situation has created genuine unpredictability. Potential replacement opponents discussed or teased include:
- Nick Aldis: The SmackDown GM himself. The confrontation after the RKO is noteworthy. Orton’s suggestion that Aldis “lace up his boots” adds to the intrigue. Aldis’s decorated pre-WWE wrestling career makes this an intriguing, fan-supported possibility. Some pundits endorse it, though concerns exist about mainstream fan familiarity with Aldis’s in-ring past.
- Solo Sikoa: Sikoa confronted Orton on SmackDown, inserting himself into the picture. Some argue Sikoa has “earned” a Mania spot. Others feel the match lacks WrestleMania-level appeal for Orton. They believe it could interfere with the brewing tension between Sikoa and Jacob Fatu.
- Surprise Return: The uncertainty opens the door for a major surprise. The returning Rusev or Aleister Black are often cited as possibilities.
- Others: Names like Tama Tonga, Jeff Cobb, Sami Zayn, Sheamus, and Karrion Kross have been mentioned. Karrion Kross expressed interest in discussions.
The potential influx of talent might signal a strategic shift under the Triple H creative regime. Wrestlers returning after stints elsewhere, particularly from AEW like Rusev and Black, contribute to this shift. This shift emphasizes roster depth by welcoming back former stars. However, the Lesnar situation underscores that not all rumors pan out, especially when external factors are involved. The uncertainty surrounding Orton, while unfortunate for Owens, adds a compelling layer of suspense to the final WrestleMania 41 card.
Viva Las WrestleMania! History in Sin City
WrestleMania 41 isn’t just another stop on the calendar. It marks a return to a city. This city hosted one of the most unique events in the show’s history. It was also one of the most polarizing events: WrestleMania IX. Held on April 4, 1993, it remains the only WrestleMania staged entirely outdoors until recent years. It took place not inside Caesars Palace. Instead, it was held in a specially constructed arena in its parking lot.
- WrestleMania IX Recap (April 4, 1993):
- Venue & Theme: The event embraced its location with an over-the-top Roman Toga Party theme. This included commentators like Jim Ross (making his WWE debut) and Randy Savage, who were clad in togas. Elaborate entrances featured Caesar and Cleopatra arriving on an elephant. Bobby Heenan made a memorable entrance riding backward on a camel. The unique outdoor setting and thematic elements made it visually distinct, even featuring different colored ring ropes.
- Main Event(s): The conclusion of the show remains its most debated aspect. Bret Hart defended his WWF Championship against the massive Yokozuna. After interference from Yokozuna’s manager Mr. Fuji (throwing salt in Hart’s eyes), Yokozuna captured the title. Immediately following this, Hulk Hogan, who had returned earlier in the night, came to Hart’s aid. Mr. Fuji inexplicably challenged Hogan to face the new champion on the spot. Hogan accepted, and after Fuji accidentally blinded Yokozuna with salt, Hogan won the WWF Championship in a mere 22 seconds.
- Other Key Moments: Shawn Michaels retained his Intercontinental Championship despite losing to Tatanka via count-out. The Steiner Brothers defeated The Headshrinkers in a hard-hitting tag match. The Undertaker faced the imposing Giant Gonzalez. The match was widely panned for its quality and Gonzalez’s bizarre bodysuit. It ended in a disqualification win for Undertaker. Doink the Clown defeated Crush with assistance from a second Doink. Lex Luger defeated Mr. Perfect; and Money Inc. retained their Tag Team Titles against Hogan and Brutus Beefcake via disqualification.
- Legacy & Perception:
- WrestleMania IX is frequently cited by critics and fans as one of the weakest installments in the event’s history. Common criticisms target the questionable booking decisions, especially the main event finish. They also focus on inconsistent match quality and the sometimes-garish execution of the Roman theme.
- Hogan’s surprise title win was highly controversial. Many saw it as undermining Bret Hart. He was positioned as the face of WWE’s “New Generation.” It represented a step backward to the Hogan era. One theory suggests the booking was driven by a desire for an American champion (Hogan) to lead a USA vs. Japan storyline against Yokozuna, a role the Canadian Hart couldn’t fill in the same way.
- Despite the negative reception of its content, the event’s unique outdoor setting and ambitious spectacle remain memorable. Its complicated legacy was recently explored in the Peacock documentary, “WrestleMania IX: Becoming a Spectacle”.
- Influence on WrestleMania 41:
- Returning to Las Vegas offers WWE and TKO a chance to create a new WrestleMania memory in the city. This memory will be overwhelmingly positive. It effectively provides a “redemption arc” for the Mania brand in Vegas.
- WrestleMania IX’s setup in the Caesars Palace parking lot and WrestleMania 41 in Allegiant Stadium differ in scale. This difference is evident. The contrast is enormous. It vividly illustrates WWE’s exponential growth in production capabilities. The change shows their global reach over the past 32 years.
- Expect WWE to fully embrace the “spectacle” inherent to Las Vegas. They are likely aiming for the grandiosity WM IX attempted. This time, it will be executed with modern technology and polish. Leaked stage designs hint at a Vegas-centric theme.
- A fascinating historical echo exists between the two events. The primary critique of WM IX focused on Hogan. As a returning legend, he controversially won the title and overshadowed the intended top star, Bret Hart. At WM 41, John Cena, a legend in his final WrestleMania, has turned heel. He challenges the current top star, Cody Rhodes. There is potential for a controversial title win. This parallel, intentional or not, adds a layer of historical weight to the Rhodes vs. Cena main event, framing it as a potential repeat of history that Rhodes must overcome.

It features interview panels, live podcast recordings, interactive exhibits, memorabilia displays celebrating WrestleMania’s history, and a massive WWE Superstore.
- WWE World will also host the 2025 Slammy Awards ceremony on the afternoon of Sunday, April 20th. This expanded fan convention represents a significant investment in direct fan engagement.

Game Changer Wrestling events, like Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport 13, will take place at the Pearl Theater. The Palms Slam Fest is also advertised. Fans should note that some restrictions may apply regarding AEW talent appearing at certain independent events.
The sheer density of events transforms WrestleMania week into a city-wide festival. It establishes it as a major economic event for the host city. It is comparable in scope to Super Bowl week activities. This ecosystem includes official WWE events, partner activations, and talent side projects. Independent shows also contribute. These elements create numerous revenue streams beyond the main WrestleMania ticket sales. It highlights the massive commercial potential TKO likely sees in the brand’s flagship week.
Predicting the Marquee: Your Projected WrestleMania 41 Card
We have gathered confirmed matches announced by WWE. Strong rumors are circulating from reliable sources. Considering the logical conclusions of ongoing storylines, we can project the likely match card for WrestleMania 41’s two nights. The card is subject to change, as always in the world of WWE. However, this represents the most probable lineup as things stand.
| Night | Match | Stipulation | Title (if any) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins | Triple Threat | – | Confirmed |
| 1 | Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso | Singles | World Heavyweight | Confirmed |
| 1 | Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair | Singles | WWE Women’s | Confirmed |
| 1 | LA Knight (c) vs. Jacob Fatu | Singles | United States | Confirmed |
| 1 | The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar) (c) vs. The New Day (Kingston & Woods) | Tag Team | World Tag Team | Confirmed |
| 1 | Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano | Singles | – | Confirmed |
| 2 | Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena | Singles | Undisputed WWE | Confirmed |
| 2 | Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley | Triple Threat | Women’s World | Confirmed |
| 2 | Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre | Sin City Street Fight | – | Confirmed |
| 2 | Bron Breakker (c) vs. Penta vs. Finn Bálor vs. Dominik Mysterio | Fatal Four-Way | Intercontinental | Confirmed |
| 2 | Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. Bayley & Lyra Valkyria | Tag Team | WWE Women’s Tag Team | Confirmed |
| TBD | Jade Cargill vs. Naomi | Singles | – | Confirmed |
| TBD | AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul | Singles | – | Confirmed |
| TBD | Randy Orton vs.??? | Singles (Presumed) | – | Predicted |
(Note: The André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal typically takes place on the WrestleMania go-home episode of SmackDown )
- Main Event Deep Dives:
- Night 1: Reigns vs. Punk vs. Rollins: This explosive Triple Threat main event is steeped in recent history. It stems from Royal Rumble eliminations and Elimination Chamber attacks. It is CM Punk’s first WrestleMania main event. The match carries immense intrigue, particularly surrounding Paul Heyman’s potential allegiances. Heyman’s history with both Punk and Reigns adds to the suspense. Expect a volatile clash where any man could realistically win, and betrayal feels almost inevitable.
- Night 2: Rhodes vs. Cena: The narrative here is compelling. Cody Rhodes, the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion, represents the present and future. He faces John Cena, a legendary figure on his final WrestleMania run. Cena is seeking a record-breaking 17th World Title. Cena’s shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber shocked fans. He aligned with The Rock and Travis Scott to assault Rhodes. This turn transforms the match from a potential passing-of-the-torch moment into a battle for WWE’s soul. The possibility of outside interference looms large.
- Key Undercard Predictions: The undercard is stacked with compelling matchups. Jey Uso’s quest to finally win a singles world title against the dominant Gunther is a classic underdog story. Tiffany Stratton faces her biggest test against the decorated Charlotte Flair. Jade Cargill seeks revenge against her former partner Naomi in a deeply personal battle. Jacob Fatu looks to make a major statement against the popular LA Knight for the US Title. The Sin City Street Fight between Priest and McIntyre promises brutality.
The confirmed card demonstrates a clear strategy. It balances high-stakes world title bouts and personal grudge matches. It also includes multi-person championship contests and unique stipulation matches across both nights. This structure aims to provide variety and maintain fan engagement throughout the weekend-long event. Splitting the two monumental main events guarantees maximum star power. Reigns/Punk/Rollins anchor one night. Rhodes/Cena anchor the other. This is a hallmark of the two-night WrestleMania format.
