WWE WrestleMania 41: Best Entrances, Ranked

• The entrance had no color at all
• Cena slowly walked to the ring rather than running
• It featured no energy

WWE WrestleMania 41 featured tons of massive entrances, and given he was competing in the main event of night two in his final ever WWE WrestleMania match, most people presumed that John Cena would get one of those. However, WWE provided the total opposite of that, yet the stark contrast ended up being perfect for him.

Normally, his entrances are filled with color and are very in your face, yet this time, he had none of that. The screens said his name, with no video, while everything was black. It wasn't what anyone anticipated, but that's what made it such a perfect entrance as it suited the heel character that he's now playing.

Fans always want to see something different at WWE WrestleMania, and that's exactly what people got with this one. Rather than upping the excitement as most entrances do, they scaled things back, and it was just as impactful.

Damian Priest

This Entrance Had A Distinct Mood

• WWE fired out tons of smoke for this
• There was fire on the stage
• Slayer's guitarist played live

Damian Priest having one of the best etrances at WWE WrestleMania might be a surprise given he wasn't in one of the top matches, but WWE went all out to make him look like a star. The former Judgment Day star had a detailed stage setup that really pushed a moody atmosphere from the moment he came out.

With fire and smoke across the stage, WWE created the mood to suit Priest's particular gimmick, which is very gothic. The fact that he had Slayer's lead guitarist playing him to the ring also added to the situation as it made the entire entrance feel like a rock show.

A great entrance should elevate a wrestler, and that's exactly what this one did. It made Priest feel like an even bigger star and got everyone pumped up for the street fight that was about to follow.

Jey Uso

The WWE Universe Was On Fire For This One

• Jey Uso entered via the crowd
• WWE had cheerleaders as part of the presentation
• This was the first entrance of the weekend

Some entrances are all about the live music or the props, but others are simply about atmosphere, and that was the case for Jey Uso. He has boasted one of the best entrances in WWE for some time now due to his Yeet movement, and WWE WrestleMania took things to the next level.

WWE created a ton of extras for this moment with people flying flags down the ramp and cheerleaders all around the fans, but it was truly about the atmosphere created by the WWE Universe. Uso made his way to the ring through the crowd which added to the situation, and it led to an intense entrance.

The fact it was the first entrance of the entire weekend certainly helped matters as fans were hyped about the entire siuation. They Yeeted like crazy, with Pat McAfee going wild on commentary to get everyone going at home too.

Tiffany Stratton

She Brought Her Inner Barbie

• Stratton admitted she pitched this idea in WWE NXT
• She's glad that WWE waited until this show for it
• Triple H went to her and asked about the idea

Tiffany Stratton has a better grip on her character than the vast majority of the WWE roster, and that was clear from her entrance. WWE created a Barbie house using the set which was visually very impressive, and that was followed by several boxes appearing on the stage.

Stratton was inside one of them while the others had pre-taped footage of Stratton being different versions of herself as if she was a Barbie doll. It was perfect for her gimmick and was the type of entrance that felt worthy of the moment itself.

WWE pulled out all the stops here to make Stratton look special, and doing something that focused on her gimmick so well only made the entrance even more fun.

CM Punk

This Was An Incredible Special Entrance

• Punk's original theme was featured in his hype video
• Living Color played his theme
• Punk got to enter with Paul Heyman by his side

WWE pulled out all the stops for CM Punk's first-ever WWE WrestleMania main event entrance, in what was the highlight of the weekend from that perspective. It was emotional, powerful, and exciting all at the same time, which isn't an easy feat to achieve with an entrance.

WWE put together an amazing hype package to kick things off. It featured clips from his career being cut into with a modern interview, while his old theme song played which the live crowd sang. It was an emotional watch for many fans and proved just how iconic Punk's career has been.

That was followed by a live performance from Living Color, which was epic to see. The band delivered an amazing performance as Punk brought the intensity in his walk. Even though he ultimately split with Paul Heyman, it was also brilliant to see them together again in what was a fantastic entrance.
