WWE will be having its biggest show of the year WrestleMania 41 April 19 -20, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year’s WrestleMania is shaping up to be one of the best cards in the decade of WWE. It will be the G.O.A.T John Cena’s last WrestleMania ever. This is his last year performing inside the WWE ring. In this preview, we will dive into the matches that have already signed contracts and speculate who replaces Kevin Owens to face Randy Orton.

Cody Rhodes v John Cena WWE Undisputed Championship Match

This is one of the most anticipated matches of the last decade. This match came to be after Cena won his last Elimination Chamber match. Then something unexpected happened. The heel turn that no one saw coming when Cena teamed up with The Rock to attack Rhodes after Cody told Rock to go “F**k himself” end quote.

Cena would then embrace Rhodes to only look at The Rock when he slid his fingers under his throat to signal Cena to attack. Cena did. It was a cowardly thing to do, especially to someone who once respected you. In the following weeks, Cena would come out to explain what he did because of how toxic he and the fan’s relationship is. He also vows to win the WWE Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania 41 and take it home with him. There will be plenty of excitement and surprises when these two collide at WrestleMania 41.

Jey Uso v Gunther World Heavyweight Championship

When Uso eliminated Cena at the Royal Rumble he punched his ticket to WrestleMania. This has turned into one of the biggest rivalries on the road to WrestleMania 41. Gunther vowed to put Uso to sleep every week leading up to the grandest stage of them all. Gunther’s worst attack came last Monday on Raw when Gunther zip-tied Uso to the ropes as he would attack Jimmy Uso leaving him a bloody mess. Gunther would rub Uso’s blood all over his chest. This World Heavyweight Championship match has become very personal. Jey has vowed to beat Gunther for Jimmy.

Triple Threat: Roman Reigns-C M Punk-Seth Rollins

CM  Punk will get his dreams answered as he will close the show meaning this is the Main Event of WrestleMania 41. The build-up for this match has had favors owed and promises kept in what will be an all-time great match. In the last couple of weeks, Punk has told Paul Heyman that it is time for the favor he is owed.

Everyone thought that when they all signed the contract Punk finally getting his WrestleMania Main Event was not the favor owed. The following week we found out that Heyman will be in Punk’s corner and not Reigns’ corner. Reigns thought he had his wiseman figured out when he told Heyman to tell Punk no, but he could not do it. That forced Reigns to start backing Heyman in the corner until Punk hit him in the back of the head with the mic. This caused a brawl. The build-up for this will continue in the coming weeks.

Final Thoughts

These matches are the ones I expect to have the most surprises and WrestleMania moments. Stay tuned for when I drop my top 3 women’s matches of WrestleMania 41.
