The world of professional wrestling remains rife with speculation as fans eagerly anticipate WrestleMania 41 on April 19, 2025. With a palpable buzz surrounding potential matches and returns, the rumor mill is working overtime. Notably, the expected pairing of Mercedes Moné and Athena has fans talking about a possible champion vs. champion match at AEW’s Dynasty on April 6, 2025, which could set the stage for an unforgettable showdown.
This clash is intriguing because both Moné and Athena are currently reigning champions—Moné holding the TBS title and Athena as the longest-reigning ROH Women’s World Champion. The anticipation of this match is so strong that fans are practically salivating at the prospect. According to reports from Fightful Select, this matchup is more than speculation; it appears to be in the works. Given that not many matches are confirmed for the Dynasty event, this potential duel feels like a perfect fit.
Meanwhile, WWE is preparing for a series of significant events that include their flagship WrestleMania 41 in Nevada and the Money in the Bank, which is set to reportedly take place at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. This venue stands out with its modern design, providing a fitting backdrop for one of WWE’s biggest flagship pay-per-view events—especially following the grand spectacle of WrestleMania. The strategic decision to host Money in the Bank on the West Coast mirrors WWE's ongoing efforts to capitalize on high-profile arenas. Observers expect that the gradual build-up through higher stakes matches will be key to laying the groundwork for WrestleMania and other pivotal story arcs in the industry.
Amid all this excitement, one concerning plot twist has fans worried: Alexa Bliss’s status leading up to WrestleMania 41. Originally scheduled for a tag team feud, rumors from Fightful and Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggest she might be absent from events until the return of The Wyatt Sicks—an ominous faction tied to Bray Wyatt, known for its cerebral and dark undertones. Bliss re-emerged at the Royal Rumble but has since been kept off-screen, creating unease among her supporters. While there do not appear to be any issues between Bliss and WWE, reports confirm that she is indeed doing “fine,” but her future remains uncertain as the storyline evolves.
The Wyatt Sicks have been largely absent from WWE television in 2025 due to an injury sustained by Bo “Uncle Howdy” Dallas, and their hinted return poses intriguing narrative possibilities. Their recent activity on social media, marking their first communication in over a month on March 21, 2025, suggests they might be gearing up for a comeback. As many expect, messages shared by the group often incorporate Bible verses, lending an air of mystique and foreboding.
In parallel developments, NXT is also creating buzz with potential shakeups for its roster. Tatum Paxley, currently teaming with Gigi Dolin, is speculated to move up to the WWE main roster, where she could find a synergy with Alexa Bliss. Their characters share eerie elements, particularly with Bliss’s signature doll Lily. Fans are excited about the prospect of this creative pairing, hoping it could lead to compelling storylines on the main stage.
Similarly, Wendy Choo’s unique persona blends perfectly with the eerie aesthetic of Bliss. As Choo transitions toward a potential collaboration, it’s easy to see how she could enhance the dynamic of an already mysterious group, possibly serving as an enforcer within this narrative. There’s a sense of fresh excitement surrounding both characters, and fans are keen to see them develop, especially if they can work alongside a beloved figure like Bliss.
The confluence of several high-stakes events—WrestleMania, AEW’s Dynasty, and creative shifts in NXT—creates palpable excitement within the wrestling community. Whether it’s champion clashes, roster shifts, or the involvement of iconic figures like Alexa Bliss, all eyes are on the evolving storylines and the way they’ll play out on wrestling’s grandest stages. As anticipation builds, the wrestling world stands ready, rife with speculation about who will rise, who will join forces, and who will fall in the unending battle for supremacy in the ring.
With WrestleMania approaching, the narrative weaving through WWE and AEW only intensifies. Fans remain eager to see how the various plotlines will intersect and unfold. While some wrestlers remain in limbo, such as Bliss, the dynamics are constantly shifting—keeping both competitors and fans on their toes.
