WWE WrestleMania 41 is set to electrify fans this weekend as it takes over the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 19 and 20, 2025. This year’s event promises to be a monumental occasion in the world of professional wrestling, featuring a stacked card of thrilling matchups and high-stakes drama. With the anticipation building, here’s what fans can expect from the grandest stage of them all.
The event kicks off on April 19 at 7 PM ET, with the first of two action-packed nights. For fans in India, the event will stream live on Netflix at 4:30 AM IST on April 20 and 21. WWE has recently expanded its streaming options, allowing viewers in various countries to catch all the WrestleMania action live.
Among the highlights of Night 1, fans will see Gunther defend his World Heavyweight Championship against Jey Uso, while Tiffany Stratton will put her WWE Women’s Championship on the line against Charlotte Flair. The War Raiders will clash with The New Day for the World Tag Team Championship, and the night will also feature a triple-threat match between Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk, which is expected to be a show-stealer.
As the excitement continues, Night 2 will feature the highly anticipated showdown between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for the WWE Universal Championship. This match is particularly significant as Cena, a 16-time world champion, is aiming to secure his record-breaking 17th title. Cena is currently tied with Ric Flair for the most WWE world titles, and this match could determine whether he becomes the all-time leader in championship reigns.
But the road to this moment has been anything but smooth. Cena’s journey to WrestleMania 41 has been fraught with challenges, including a shocking heel turn where he brutally attacked Rhodes, leaving him injured and bloody. This dramatic turn of events has only heightened the stakes for their upcoming match, making it one of the most anticipated bouts in recent memory.
In the lead-up to WrestleMania, Rhodes has been on a roll, having won the WWE title at WrestleMania 40 last year. However, his record at the event stands at 3-8, while Cena boasts a more impressive 10-6 record. This will be Cena’s ninth title match at WrestleMania, and with his career nearing its end—he is expected to retire from in-ring competition by the end of 2025—the pressure is on.
Adding to the intrigue, there are rumors that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may make a surprise appearance during the Cena vs. Rhodes match, which could tip the scales in Cena’s favor. This possibility has fans buzzing with excitement, as The Rock's involvement could lead to unexpected twists in the storyline.
In addition to the marquee matchups, WrestleMania 41 will also feature a Sin City Street Fight between Damien Priest and Drew McIntyre. This stipulation match allows for no pinfalls or disqualifications, meaning anything goes. The anticipation for this bout has been building, especially after both competitors exchanged heated words leading up to the event.
For the Women’s Tag Team Championship, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez will defend their titles against the formidable duo of Bayley and Lyra Valkyria. The challengers earned their shot through a gauntlet match on SmackDown, showcasing their tenacity and skill.
As the countdown to WrestleMania 41 continues, fans are gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable weekend filled with action, drama, and the kind of storytelling that only WWE can deliver. With every championship on the line and the stakes higher than ever, the event is set to be a historic one.
WrestleMania 41 not only marks a significant milestone in WWE history but also serves as a platform for both established stars like Cena and rising talents like Rhodes to showcase their skills on the grandest stage.
