Here’s a detailed look at the 8 confirmed plans for WWE WrestleMania 41 that are set to make this a historic weekend.
1. Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena: A Title Clash for the Ages
The Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line when Cody Rhodes defends his title against John Cena in what could be Cena’s final WrestleMania match. Following his shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber 2025, where Cena aligned with The Rock and Travis Scott, the 16-time world champion is chasing a record-breaking 17th title reign. Rhodes, who has held the championship for over a year, faces his toughest test yet against a revitalized and ruthless Cena. This matchup is poised to headline one of the nights, blending legacy with the future of WWE.
2. Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins: Triple Threat Main Event
A colossal triple threat match featuring Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins has been confirmed to headline one of the two nights. Announced during a chaotic contract signing on the March 28, 2025, episode of SmackDown, this bout promises high stakes and personal rivalries. Paul Heyman confirmed the main event status, with the added twist of a favor Punk earned at Survivor Series WarGames 2024 complicating the dynamic. This marks Punk’s first WrestleMania main event, a dream he’s chased since returning to WWE.
3. Gunther vs. Jey Uso: World Heavyweight Championship Showdown
Gunther, the dominant World Heavyweight Champion, will defend his title against Jey Uso, who earned his shot by winning the 2025 Men’s Royal Rumble. This clash pits Gunther’s technical mastery against Uso’s high-energy style, with the “Main Event” Jey looking to dethrone the Austrian powerhouse. Confirmed after Uso’s Rumble victory, this match is a lock for WrestleMania 41 and could steal the show.
4. Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair: WWE Women’s Championship Battle
The WWE Women’s Championship will see Tiffany Stratton defending against Charlotte Flair, who made a triumphant return by winning the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble. Flair, a two-time Rumble winner, chose Stratton as her opponent following a tense SmackDown confrontation on February 7, 2025. This matchup blends Stratton’s rising star power with Flair’s veteran prowess, ensuring a must-watch encounter.
5. IYO SKY vs. Bianca Belair: Women’s World Championship Grudge Match
IYO SKY will put her Women’s World Championship on the line against Bianca Belair, who punched her ticket to WrestleMania by winning the 2025 Women’s Elimination Chamber. SKY, who dethroned Rhea Ripley on March 3, 2025, on Raw, faces a familiar foe in Belair, with their rivalry dating back to NXT in 2018. This clash of titans is confirmed and could see Rhea Ripley added to make it a triple threat, though that remains unconfirmed as of April 3, 2025.
6. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens: A Personal Score to Settle
Randy Orton and Kevin Owens are set to collide in a grudge match fueled by Owens’ brutal piledriver attack on Orton in November 2024. Orton, absent from TV since the incident, is slated to return for this personal showdown at WrestleMania 41. Confirmed through ongoing storylines, this bout promises intensity and chaos as two of WWE’s toughest brawlers square off.
7. AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul: A High-Profile Clash
AJ Styles will take on Logan Paul in a confirmed singles match that pits the Phenomenal One against the social media megastar. Paul, who has impressed as United States Champion, faces a stern test in Styles, whose technical brilliance could elevate this bout to new heights. Locked in after weeks of buildup, this match adds a celebrity flair to the WrestleMania 41 card.
8. Netflix’s Global Livestream Debut
WrestleMania 41 marks a historic milestone as the first WrestleMania to livestream on Netflix in most markets, following WWE’s 10-year rights deal that began in January 2025. Confirmed by WWE, this shift from the WWE Network to Netflix ensures a global audience will witness the action live from Las Vegas, amplifying the event’s reach like never before.
