WrestleMania 41 is back, and the excitement is palpable as the second day of action unfolds at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. On April 21, 2025, fans are treated to a thrilling card featuring six matches, including four championship bouts that promise to deliver unforgettable moments. The atmosphere is electric as the sold-out crowd anticipates matchups that could alter the course of WWE history.
The day kicks off with a high-stakes Women’s World Championship match featuring Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair, and Rhea Ripley. These three competitors have been entangled in a fierce rivalry for months, and with the title still held by Tiffany Stratton after her successful defense against Charlotte Flair, all eyes are on this triple threat. Rhea Ripley, in particular, has fought tooth and nail to reestablish herself as a contender, adding an extra layer of intensity to the match.
In the Women’s Tag Team Championship bout, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, the most successful duo in the division with three title reigns, are set to defend their titles against a yet-to-be-determined partner for Lyra Valkyria. The original plan was to have Valkyria team with Bayley, but an injury to Bayley has thrown a wrench into those plans. Raw General Manager Adam Pearce has given Valkyria just 24 hours to find a new partner, creating suspense as fans eagerly await the reveal.
The main event of the day features John Cena facing Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship in what is billed as Cena's last WrestleMania match ever. Cena, a 16-time world champion, is tied with Ric Flair for the most world championships in WWE history. As he steps into the ring for possibly the final time, the stakes couldn't be higher, and fans are left wondering if he can secure his 17th title and cement his legacy.
Adding to the mix is a fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, where Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor, Penta, and Bron Breakker will clash. This match has generated buzz not only for the title on the line but also due to the underlying tensions within the Judgment Day faction, particularly between Balor and Mysterio. The crowd is abuzz with anticipation as they wonder if Mysterio can finally break through and claim his first main-roster title.
As the matches progress, the crowd is treated to a spectacular display of athleticism and storytelling. In the opening match, Iyo Sky successfully retains her Women’s World Championship against Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair, showcasing her resilience and skill. The match was a back-and-forth affair, with each competitor delivering high-impact moves and near-falls that kept the audience on the edge of their seats.
Next, Drew McIntyre faces off against Damian Priest in a Sin City Street Fight. This match, filled with brutal spots and high drama, sees McIntyre avenging his past losses to Priest, ultimately securing victory with a devastating Claymore kick delivered against a chair. The Scottish Warrior’s triumph serves as a testament to his determination and grit.
However, the spotlight soon shifts to the Intercontinental Championship match, where Dominik Mysterio is looking to make history. In a dramatic turn of events, Mysterio pins Finn Balor to win the title, marking his first singles championship on the main roster. The crowd erupts as Mysterio, once considered a heel, receives an overwhelming positive reaction from the audience. His victory is a culmination of years of hard work and perseverance, especially after enduring losses against his father, Rey Mysterio, in previous WrestleMania appearances.
“I enjoy being a bad guy. I feel like I have more liberty in what I can do, say, and get away with,” Mysterio shared in an interview leading up to WrestleMania. His transformation from a hated heel to a beloved champion has captivated fans, and his win at WrestleMania solidifies his status as a rising star in WWE.
Meanwhile, in non-title action, Logan Paul continues to impress as he takes on AJ Styles. Paul, showcasing his athletic prowess, manages to defeat the veteran Styles, further solidifying his place in the WWE landscape. The match is filled with high spots and showcases Paul’s ability to hold his own against one of the best in the business.
As the day wraps up, fans are left buzzing with excitement over the outcomes and the potential ramifications of each match. With the April 21 episode of Raw on the horizon, all eyes will be on how Dominik Mysterio’s championship win affects his relationship with Balor and the Judgment Day faction. Will the tensions rise, or can they find a way to coexist?
WrestleMania 41 has proven to be a showcase of talent, resilience, and storytelling, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what’s next for their favorite superstars. With Cena's future uncertain and Mysterio finally achieving his WrestleMania moment, the landscape of WWE is undoubtedly shifting.
The excitement from Allegiant Stadium is palpable, and as the dust settles on WrestleMania 41, fans are already looking forward to the next chapter in this ongoing saga of sports entertainment.
