After weeks of anticipation, WrestleMania 41 is here. Let’s look at the biggest matches and predictions in Las Vegas for Saturday and Sunday
The main event for Saturday night has three of the biggest stars going head-to-head. Within the match, there are deeper storylines that will play out. Paul Heyman will be in Punk’s corner after the favor that came out a few weeks ago, leaving Reigns on his own, making Reigns wonder if Heyman really is his wise man. We can not forget about Rollins, who has a hatred for Reigns but an even deeper one for Punk. The frustration of Punk returning to WWE after turning his back on the company over 10 years ago has Rollins beside himself.
CM Punk will come out the winner. It has been a lifelong dream for Punk to headline WrestleMania, and with the help of Heyman, his best friend, and Reigns, he gets to live out his dream. It makes sense for Punk to win, as he has the WWE universe behind him, and this will cap off a remarkable return in the past year for the “best in the world.” An additional prediction is that Heyman will turn on Reigns and help Punk win, even though he claims to support both Reigns and Punk equally.
The World Heavyweight champion, Gunther, has been a powerful force in the WWE over the past couple of years. He has dominated Uso, beating him three times, and doesn’t believe Uso is worthy of being in the ring with him. This match has taken a personal turn after Gunther beat Jimmy Uso to a bloody mess on Monday Night Raw a couple of weeks ago. Jey claims he had an epiphany during his brother’s beating and is no longer afraid of Gunther and apologizes to the Lord for what he will do to Gunther at WrestleMania on Saturday.
Since winning the Royal Rumble, Uso has been building momentum, which will propel him to win the biggest match of his career. It would be heartbreaking if Uso lost, as he is a big star. Losing would beg the question for Uso, “Where can he go from here?” Winning the championship would boost his career and increase his popularity in WWE.
Stratton has always looked up to Flair, but their feud has proven the saying, “Don’t meet your heroes.” Stratton has skyrocketed since joining the main roster of WWE, and she faces her biggest challenge and match on Saturday. Flair thinks she is the best, and Stratton does not stand a chance, but Stratton has shown she will not back down. Two weeks ago, on Friday Night SmackDown, the two exchanged jabs, fueling their rivalry and making it more personal. Stratton commented about Flair’s three divorces, while Flair commented about a fellow wrestler and Stratton’s boyfriend, Ludwig Kaiser, being in her dm’s.
Both Flair will emerge as the winner and win her record-breaking 18th championship. The “Queen” is one of the best women ever to lace her boots and will achieve an epic comeback after being gone from WWE for over a year and winning the 2025 Women’s Royal Rumble. The raw and personal comments have added depth to this feud, making it entertaining. After the promo, Flair attacked Stratton, and both of them faced disciplinary actions.
Belair won the right to be in this match when she won the Elimination Chamber in February. On March 3, Ripley and Sky battled for the championship to determine who would face Belair at WrestleMania. Sky won the match after a distraction from Belair at ringside caused Ripley to lose concentration, allowing Sky to take advantage and secure the victory. Ripley has been trying to add herself to the match since that loss and finally got her wish from Raw General Manager Adam Pearce.
Sky has been portrayed as the underdog, as Ripley and Belair have both overlooked her due to their issues with each other. However, that will backfire for them at WrestleMania, as Sky will emerge victorious and retain her championship. Another prediction is that Belair and Ripley will continue their feud after WrestleMania to settle their differences. This match on Sunday might steal the WrestleMania card from the whole weekend.
The match will be an epic battle to close WrestleMania on Sunday. Cena surprised the world when he turned on Rhodes and aligned with The Rock at the Elimination Chamber, leaving his good-guy, superhero persona behind. Cena claims that the reasons for turning heel are due to the WWE universe’s constant need for him, and he is looking forward to taking Rhodes’ title away and becoming a record-breaking 17-time world champion. Rhodes is ready to keep his legacy going since returning to WWE a few years ago and be the champion that everyone can look up to.
Cena will win his 17th championship, continue his farewell tour, and give the WWE a different Cena champion. It will be interesting to see where Cena goes as champion after this. Cena has made the biggest move of his career, turning heel and aligning with The Rock, a TKO board member.
There are some big matches with some of the biggest stars. Cena has a chance to make history and shock the world with a 17th championship; Punk can realize his dream and win on the grandest stage with Heyman by his side, not Reigns’. The bitter rivalry between Flair and Stratton will come to a head, and Uso has a chance to shine in the biggest match of his career. Sky has her biggest challenge in the triple threat match, where she can beat two of the top women in WWE. WrestleMania 41 is set for Saturday and Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
