5 Matches We Could See at WrestleMania 41: Predictions for Las Vegas
As we slowly inch closer to WrestleMania 41 season, the excitement and speculation over the dream matches continue to build. WWE’s grandest stage has always delivered monumental clashes between the biggest stars in sports entertainment, and next year promises to be no different. Here are five matches that I predict could take center stage at WrestleMania 41.
1. Cody Rhodes vs Roman Reigns vs The Rock
After the unforgettable showdown at WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes still has business to settle with The Rock. That in itself automatically loops Roman Reigns. Adding The Rock to the mix will turn this into one of the biggest WrestleMania main events of all time. Roman Reigns’ dominance reigned supreme for years, but Rhodes being victorious at Wrestle Mania 40 has created a whole new era in WWE. At the conclusion of Bad Blood, The Rock made his presence known as he shocked the crowd by coming out and staring down Cody and Roman from the ramp. A triple threat on night two would make for one of the biggest hyped matches of all time
2. Gunther vs John Cena
John Cena has made a career out of battling the toughest opponents on the planet, and Gunther’s rise as the indomitable World Heavyweight Champion has made him one of the most feared competitors in WWE. Gunther’s hard-hitting style and Cena’s never-give-up attitude would create an electric match that could be Cena’s swan song. Whether it’s for a title or simply a battle of respect, this showdown will be a brutal, hard-fought match with a legacy at stake. Gunther is carving his name into the history books, and with John Cena’s last WrestleMania match before officially retiring later in 2025, it would be a recipe for “cinema” as the kids would say. Also at stake would be John Cena going for Ric Flairs all time world championship record. What better way than to win it at your last WrestleMania
3. Tiffany Stratton vs Charlotte Flair
The future of WWE’s women’s division looks bright, and Tiffany Stratton is at the forefront of the new era. A showdown with Charlotte Flair, one of the most decorated champions in WWE history, would be a true passing-of-the-torch moment. Stratton’s star has been rising rapidly, and a WrestleMania clash with “The Queen” would not only cement her as a major player in the division but could also showcase a generational battle between the athletic prowess of Flair and the brash confidence of Stratton. Expect a classic, as these two look to redefine women’s wrestling. Charlotte has been sidelined for all of 2024, and looks to be making a comeback soon for the road to WrestleMania.
4. Bianca Belair vs Jade Cargill
Bianca Belair has dominated WWE’s women’s division over the last few years with her incredible athleticism and undeniable charisma. Jade Cargill, one of the most imposing stars in wrestling, has been in WWE for over a year and quickly established herself as a powerhouse. Currently, the two are tag team champions, forming an explosive duo that has taken the division by storm. However, an inevitable split, possibly sparked around the Royal Rumble, could set the stage for a massive showdown at WrestleMania 41. With both women showcasing immense strength, agility, and power, their clash would be a dream match of two unstoppable forces, redefining what it means to be a dominant champion in WWE.
5. CM Punk vs Seth Rollins
The wrestling world has long dreamed of a CM Punk return at WrestleMania, and if the stars align, WrestleMania 41 could be the platform for so. Seth Rollins has made his disdain for Punk clear in the past, and a match between these two would be one of the most intense rivalries in years. With Punk’s rebellious, outspoken personality and Rollins’ technical brilliance and fiery persona, this match would be a war of words, egos, and skill. Rollins has established himself as one of the best of this generation, and a match with Punk would be a must-see clash for the ages.
Final Thoughts
WrestleMania 41 could be stacked with some of the biggest dream matches we’ve ever seen. Whether it’s a triple threat featuring family legacies, a generational battle of women’s wrestling, or an intense personal rivalry, WWE’s biggest night is poised to deliver. With iconic names and rising stars on the card, WrestleMania 41 will be a spectacle that fans will talk about for years to come.
