Wrestlemania Preview

The biggest weekend of the year for wrestling is quickly approaching, with WrestleMania 41 due to take place on April 19 and 20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Anticipation is building for some of the most exciting watches in recent sports history.

Lots of championship belts are going to be handed out at Wrestlemania, with one of the first being the World Heavyweight Championship between Jey Uso and Gunther. The two had a heated exchange on last Monday’s episode of RAW, so this match is sure to be a good one.

Bianca Belair, Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley are set to wrestle for the distinction of womens world champion.

This match is set to end a feud that has been building up for many months now, with the three having both negative social exchanges on social media and confronting one another on last Monday night’s episode of RAW. The match is just one of many that is making wrestling fans all over the world excited for Wrestlemania. 

An intercontinental champion will also be crowned at wrestlemania, with Bron Breakker, Penta, Finn Balor and Domiik Mysterio set to compete for the honor. Fatal fourways are always very unpredictable and entertaining, with there being plenty of room for surprises and twists. No matter what happens during this match, it is sure to be as electric as it is entertaining.

There is no argument about which two matches have had the most build up and anticipation. Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk are set to battle in a highly anticipated Triple Threat match, which should hopefully put to bed the very long running, and very real feud between the three men. Paul Heyman, a confidant of Roman Reigns, is caught in the middle of the match, with CM Punk asking him to support himself instead of Reigns during the fight.

In addition, Rollins asked a favor of Heyman on last night’s episode of RAW. What this favor is (and when it will be turned in) are yet to be decided. The only thing we know right now is that the three men will compete at Wrestlemania. Beyond that, it is anyone’s guess as to how the match plays out and how it affects the wrestling universe. This is seen as, and rightfully so, one of the biggest matches in WWE history.

Despite being one of the biggest matches in WWE history, the triple threat match between Reigns, Punk and Rollins is not even the biggest matchup of the weekend. That title, undoubtedly goes to the undisputed WWE championship match between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. Rhodes finally broke though last year and claimed the WWE championship for the first time. Cena, on the other hand, is going for his 17th world title, which would be a world record. 

Will Rhodes defend the legacy that his father built all those years ago, or will Cena cement himself as arguably the greatest fighter of all time? No matter what happens, the match between Cena and Rhodes is one of the most unmissable events of the sports/entertainment calendar in 2025.

With history set to be made and legacies set to be defined at Wrestlemania, this year’s event is absolutely unmissable. In the United States, both nights of Wrestlemania will be streamed live on Peacock, and for international viewers, both nights will be streamed on Netflix.
