New WrestleMania 41 Card Predictions.
WrestleMania is the definitive event of WWE and sports entertainment, it’s the house that the absolute legends of wrestling built; it’s where legends are made. As fans of WWE are now waiting for the next edition of WrestleMania, rumors are already up and running about the event’s card. WWE is ever-changing, new talents are emerging, and old rivalries are heating up. So, trying to guess the card for WM 41 is something that gives energy and excitement. Here is a list of possible feuds and rivalries that may properly set up WrestleMania 41:
- Main Event: Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes: WWE Universal Championship (unified)
At the same time, one of the most interesting bills for WrestleMania 41 could be the rematch between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. Cody faced Reigns in a title match at WrestleMania 39, but the match ended in a near upset when The Bloodline interjected themselves into the bout. The loss was a crucial stage in Cody’s development, which resulted in a year of hardship.
By the time WrestleMania 41 came around, Cody Rhodes may have been more committed than ever to ‘finishing the story’ by winning the undisputed WWE Universal Championship. The final hurdle for Cody at this stage in his career would be Roman Reigns, who could easily still be in the middle of his longest WWE title run at this point in time. The story would write itself: Cody would become the legend, and Roman would make history as the greatest WWE champion of all time.
This particular match would have the suspense, the tension, and even the potential climax of Cody’s journey to avenge his father by winning the ultimate title. It also might mark the end of Roman’s reign, depending on how WWE wants to write off this feud, and could be the start of a new era where Cody is the new face of WWE.
- The match between Seth Rollins and Randy Orton was One Last Battle.
Seth Rollins and Randy Orton have had multiple feuds in WWE; Rollins turned on Orton as part of The Authority and also faced each other in the main event at Wrestlemania 31, where Orton performed the most brutal RKO ever. As Randy Orton came back later than expected from a serious injury and Rollins was the hottest act in WWE at the time, the last bout between these two could have been spectacular.
This could be the storyline of Orton trying to show everyone that he is still the best of the best, and Rollins, despite his accomplishments, is still under the shadow of Orton. Rollins, on the other hand, could say that he has moved past Orton in every way possible and brought a title to the rivalry. The match itself would be a display of the technical readiness, the psychologies of the two fighters, and the narrative as well.
As Orton is a veteran wrestler and Rollins is among the modern WWE superstars, this could be sold as Orton’s final fight before the end of his career, which would make this bout a treat to watch.
- Charlotte Flair vs. Rhea Ripley, SmackDown Women Championship
It’s one of WWE’s women’s division’s most engaging feuds, and to see Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley finally come to blows is a dream come true. The two have wrestled at WrestleMania before, but come WrestleMania 41, the feud could be more intense. Since the two women have been exchanging victories and titles for years, this fight can be the final one between them.
On the road to WrestleMania 41, Rhea Ripley could remain unbeaten as the SmackDown Women’s Champion; however, Charlotte Flair would come back to WWE to show everyone that she is still the Queen of WWE. This is how egos, legacies, and athleticism would explode in the buildup.
The match could be a bruising and tense encounter, which could very well be a preview of the best that women’s wrestling has to offer. It would also be an opportunity for Rhea Ripley to solidify her status as the premier female superstar in WWE by finally vanquishing Charlotte on the biggest of stages, or for Charlotte to regain her throne and continue writing her Hall of Fame-worthy career.
- Becky Lynch vs. Trish Stratus: Retirement Match
The rivalry between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus started in 2023 and might reach its climax at WrestleMania 41. The plot may involve Trish Stratus coming back for one more bout, her WWE career in balance against Becky Lynch, one of the best female wrestlers of the new generation.
The build to this match could involve Trish Stratus cutting a series of promos about how she’s seen it all and done it all, but there’s one thing left: she can just retire on her own terms against someone she respects but doesn’t like in Becky Lynch. Both Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair love to cut promos, and there is no doubt that Becky would take the idea of putting Trish out of business and solidifying her own place in wrestling history to the next level.
The match would be a mix of fun and rivalry, with the audience eager to know how the ‘career’ of Trish would meet its ‘end’. While victory for Becky might represent the transfer of power, victory for Trish would be a perfect story for the storybook wrestler who retired on top.
- Bobby Lashley vs. Gunther, WWE Intercontinental Championship
Bobby Lashley and Gunther are both damned large specimens of muscle in WWE today, and both could have had a huge bout at WrestleMania 41 for the Intercontinental Championship. Gunther, who revived the glamour of the Intercontinental title with his dominance, would have his toughest test in Lashley.
The buildup to this match could see both men with a focus on dominance, with each man attempting to show who is the true powerhouse of WWE. Gunther’s technical, systematic approach compared to Lashley’s brute force and aggression would be a great dynamic.
This bout would probably be a stand-up fight, with both fighters going all out in their attempts to beat the other. It could also be used as a way to take the Intercontinental Championship to the next level, prove that it remains a belt that can host main event shows, and showcase the best talent that WWE has to offer.
- The Usos (c) vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship
The young duo of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn have been one of the best and most entertaining stories in WWE history, and by WrestleMania 41, they could be the WWE Tag Team Champions. The Usos, who themselves have also had a terrific title reign and have huge personal connections with Roman Reigns, can be itching to regain their title.
The relationship between these four men would make this match a very passionate one. Owens and Zayn, as always, are the two heroes who are underestimated and stand up for each other, so the duo would be defending not only their belts but also the fact that they are worthy to be part of the upper echelon of the tag team division. The Usos, motivated by pride and the need to reclaim the family’s dignity, would do anything to triumph.
This match could be another high-risk, thrilling spectacular with elements of brawling in the middle of the bout and an exciting ending that WWE spectators would not want to miss.
- AJ Styles vs. Finn Bálor: ‘The Phenomenal’ vs. ‘The Prince’
AJ Styles and Finn Bálor have clashed on the independent circuit, but a rivalry between the two former Bullet Club members as they are in NJPW might be the perfect storm for WrestleMania 41. They are both ranked as some of the finest in-ring performers in the world, and the story can focus on their history and rivalry.
The build-up could see Bálor as more despicable, joining The Judgment Day, and wanting to demonstrate that he is better than Styles in all aspects. AJ, as the ever-strong-willed and hardheaded veteran, would take the fight with the intent of showing the world that he is still the ‘Phenomenal One’.
Their fight would be an intense wrestling lesson comprising the takedown, reversals, and a work rate that only true performers such as Styles and Bálor can put up. This could easily be a show stealer and would be enjoyed by both diehard wrestling enthusiasts and the other WWE audience.
- Edge vs. Damian Priest: The Grudge
Edge’s return has been incredible, and getting a shot at one of his former Judgement Day disciples in the form of Damian Priest would make for a great addition to his comeback narrative. Since Priest turned on Edge, the two have been harboring a lot of animosity, and WrestleMania 41 might well be the place for the showdown.
The storyline could be that Priest, filled with anger and jealousy and the wish to surpass his trainer, tries to put Edge out of business for good. Edge, who has been described as a fighter with a never-say-die attitude, would not allow his badge as one of WWE’s best to be tarnished.
The match would be very dramatic, and it would be a battle of experience for Edge and ambition for Priest. It could be one of the most passionate and close-ended bouts on the WrestleMania 41 show.
- Bianca Belair of the Raw brand vs. Asuka of the Smackdown brand—Raw Women’s Championship
These two ladies are two of the most talented performers in the WWE today, and a bout between Bianca Belair and Asuka for the Raw Women’s Championship could be one of the greatest attractions at WrestleMania 41. Bianca and Asuka have had phenomenal WWE careers. Bianca has unmatched strength and athletic ability, which nicely balances Asuka’s submission skills and striking.
This buildup to the Asuka/Bianca match could see Asuka becoming more aggressive in her promos and even joining a heel stable, while Bianca would remain the confident champion. Their competition might be built on the basis of mutual admiration, but it was also possibly tinted by the fight for supremacy.
The match itself would be a display of both women’s talents as a high-impact match with some reversals, near-falls, and sudden turns to keep the audience entertained. For either of the women, victory in the bout will make her the uncontested leader of the women’s division.
- The Money in the Bank Ladder Match
This year’s WrestleMania 41 could be the venue for which the Money in the Bank Ladder Match is brought back, where the winner gets a shot at the championship of his or her choice. This match could potentially include up-and-coming performers as well as some rather well-known performers, all competing for the chance to be the ones to take home the briefcase.
Possible competitors may be LA Knight, Ricochet, Drew McIntyre, Damian Priest, and others. The match would be full of moments, great physicality, and the very real possibility of someone attempting a pin and being met with cheers by the fans as they tried to cash in.
Conclusion: A Great Clash in Store
WrestleMania 41 is set to be yet another spectacle that the WWE has to offer, which is to be packed with unforgettable bouts, drama, and the payoffs to angles that have been building for months. From Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship right through to legends potentially retiring at the event, such as Randy Orton and Trish Stratus, WrestleMania 41 is shaping up to be the perfect event.
Since the WWE’s changes, WrestleMania has always been that moment when legends are made and the superstars’ names go into the history books. The fans globally will be waiting for what these predictions will be and what WWE has installed for the grandest spectacle of the year.
