WWE WrestleMania 41 Predictions & Match Card: Preview, Rumors, Logo, Matches, Location, Date

WWE WrestleMania 41 has not yet been officially announced. Traditionally, WrestleMania takes place in late March or early April, so it's likely that WrestleMania 41 will be held sometime in that timeframe in 2.



There is also no information available yet about the location of WrestleMania 41. WWE typically announces the location of WrestleMania a year or more in advance.



However, there has been some speculation online about potential matches and storylines for WrestleMania 41. Some sources suggest that a rematch between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reignsis a possibility for the main event.

WWE WrestleMania 41 Confirmed Match Card




*No Match Officially Confirmed For The Event!

WWE WrestleMania 41 Predicted Match Card

Roman Reigns vs. The Rock



The dethroning of Roman Reigns by Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania leaves a major question mark.



The Rock's reaction to Reigns' defeat and his potential influence on The Bloodline will likely ignite conflict, culminating in a highly anticipated showdown between these two titans.



A babyface Reigns battling The Rock to dismantle the very regime he imposed on WWE. This could be his defining victory, a hard-fought triumph that surpasses anything he's achieved before.



Furthermore, it would grant fans the dream match they weren't quite prepared for this year – a rare, truly legendary encounter that professional wrestling desperately craves.

CM Punk vs. Seth "Freakin" Rollins



CM Punk's return to WWE reignited animosity with Seth Rollins, evident in their charged promos. Their shared history as successful indie stars turned WWE mainstays fuels the tension. Both have captivated audiences and risen to the top through hard work and in-ring excellence.



However, a one-on-one encounter on a grand stage remains elusive. With Punk facing Drew McIntyre and Rollins eyeing a shot at Cody Rhodes' title, WWE is smartly building anticipation.

Reah Ripley vs. Bianca Belair




Rhea Ripley's reign as Women's Champion could culminate in a historic clash at WrestleMania 41. If she retains the title until then, it would mark her second full year as champion, a testament to her dominance.



Standing in her path could be Bianca Belair, undefeated on the grandest stage. A champion vs. streak collision between these two NXT graduates would be a marquee matchup. Their parallel paths to the top and fan-earned legitimacy make this a main-event worthy encounter.



WWE's strategic use of distance between these powerhouses has kept the rivalry fresh. Their last battle in 2022 feels like an eternity in wrestling, leaving fans hungry for a first-time WrestleMania showdown. WWE's well-placed teases have only heightened anticipation.



With both women consistently delivering on the big stage, a Ripley vs. Belair match has the potential to be a Match of the Year contender. This WrestleMania encounter could be a defining moment for women's wrestling.

Below, let's take a look at the top 10 wrestlers with the most victories. ## 1. The Undertaker - Won 25 And Lost 2 ## The Deadman himself, The Undertaker, reigns supreme at WrestleMania with a staggering 25 victories. His legendary undefeated streak of 21 consecutive wins, etched forever in wrestling history, solidifies his position as the undisputed king of the grandest stage. With a total of 27 matches under his belt, it's highly improbable that his record will ever be eclipsed.## Throughout his WrestleMania career, The Undertaker has conquered an impressive roster of opponents, leaving a trail of defeated legends in his wake. From Triple H, whom he's vanquished thrice, to Shawn Michaels and Kane, who each fell twice to his power, his dominance is undeniable. Other giants like Ric Flair, John Cena, Batista, CM Punk, Randy Orton, Edge, Bray Wyatt, and AJ Styles have all tasted defeat at the hands of The Phenom. ## 2. John Cena: Won 10 And Lost 6 ## No discussion of WrestleMania legends is complete without John Cena, the iconic figure known by various personas like "The Champ," "Super Cena," and "Big Match John." He served as his generation's Hulk Hogan, consistently taking center stage in the event's most prestigious matches.## Cena's WrestleMania dominance is undeniable. He boasts victories over wrestling royalty like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Batista, JBL, Edge, and the formidable duo of Big Show and Edge in thrilling World Title matches. This impressive list doesn't end there. He emerged victorious in United States Title bouts against The Big Show and Rusev, further showcasing his championship prowess.

With the second most matches in WrestleMania history, he's defeated iconic names like Brock Lesnar, Batista, Randy Orton, Sting, Chris Jericho, and Booker T. ## Notably, he was the first heel to win the WrestleMania main event in 2000, retaining his WWE Title against The Rock, Mick Foley, and The Big Show. ## 4. Hulk Hogan: Won 8 And Lost 3 And 1 Went Draw ## Hulk Hogan's WrestleMania legacy is defined by his presence in eight of the first nine main events, winning seven of them. Memorable victories include triumphs over Andre the Giant and Randy Savage, as well as notable wins against Sid, Sgt. Slaughter, and King Kong Bundy. ## In 2002, his return to the company culminated in his eighth and final WrestleMania victory in a highly anticipated match against Vince McMahon, billed as "20 years in the making." ## 5. Edge: Won 9 And Lost 5 ## Edge holds a WWE record with 31 title reigns. He began his career with a streak, winning his first five WrestleMania matches, including memorable victories in the fabled triangle ladder and TLC matches, as well as against Booker T and Mick Foley. ## In his final match before retirement in 2011, he defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio.

Hart returned in 2010 to defeat Vince McMahon at WrestleMania 26, concluding their on-screen rivalry. ## 7.

He's added wins against CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt (twice), Triple H, and John Cena (in a triple threat WWE Title match).## His latest victory was with Matt Riddle as "RKBRO," successfully defending the Raw Tag Titles.

WWE Was Expecting Cody Rhodes To Turn Into Daniel Bryan By Having Him Replaced By The Rock At WrestleMania

WWE was expecting to make Cody Rhodes a bigger babyface by having him replaced by The Rock at WrestleMania. ## While speaking on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE had anticipated elevating Cody Rhodes as a prominent babyface by orchestrating his replacement with The Rock at WrestleMania. The intention was to mold Cody Rhodes into a figure akin to Daniel Bryan, fostering a narrative where he would emerge as a martyr and gain increased support as a beloved character. ## There was an anticipation that the audience would rally behind Cody, empathizing with him as the victim of an unjust situation. However, it remains unclear whether the WWE foresaw Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson receiving boos from the crowd, as obtaining a clear answer on this matter has proven elusive. The planned storyline involved the reaction to Cody's perceived injustice, with the expectation that fans would sympathize with him and passionately support his cause, ultimately firming his status as a beloved babyface. ## "They were expecting Cody Rhodes to turn into Daniel Bryan. They were expecting to make Cody Rhodes into a martyr and make him a bigger babyface out of that. ## "Were they expecting the people to boo Dwayne? I don't know, because I've asked that one and haven’t gotten a straight answer. The reaction for Cody, about Cody getting screwed and people getting behind Cody, that was part of the story. That was absolutely expected." ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Sami Zayn Seemingly Reacts To The Biggest WrestleMania Controversy, Aska Fans To Move

This weekend's return of The Rock initially ignited fan excitement, but it quickly fizzled into frustration after the unexpected twist. ## On SmackDown, Cody Rhodes challenged Roman Reigns for his title, stating his intent to dethrone him, but not at WrestleMania. Suddenly, The Rock's music blared, electrifying the arena as he emerged for a tense face-off with his cousin.## However, this elation soon soured for WWE fans who felt betrayed. They fiercely criticized Triple H and the company for unceremoniously "burying" Cody Rhodes after his dedicated year with the company.## The controversy has drawn commentary from numerous critics, and now, fan-favorite Sami Zayn has chimed in. Taking to social media, Zayn urged fans to prioritize real-world issues over "wrestling drama." He eloquently stated: ## "I know that many people have many opinions about wrestling drama, and maybe I too would weigh in, if not for the fact that there are actual tragedies in the world happening daily that make wrestling drama seem largely unimportant." ## In another tweet, Zayn wrote the following; ## "I realize many people use wrestling drama as an escape of sorts, and that’s fair enough. I’m glad I can play a part in that. This is really more of a ‘me’ problem." ## As this debate intensifies, it remains to be seen if other WWE Superstars will voice their opinions. ## I know that many people have many opinions about wrestling drama, and maybe I too would weigh in, if not for the fact that there are actual tragedies in the world happening daily that make wrestling drama seem largely unimportant.— Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) February 5, 2024 ## I realize many people use wrestling drama as an escape of sorts, and that’s fair enough.

WWE Changes The WrestleMania Start Time; Now To Begin At 7pm EST

WWE's iconic WrestleMania extravaganza, known for its marathon runtimes, is getting a trim. Though it remains a lengthy spectacle, the company is actively tweaking the format to shorten the late-night stretch, responding to fan criticism.## Prior to 2020, WrestleMania steadily ballooned in duration, drawing complaints from viewers. In 2020, the format shifted to a two-night structure, with each night clocking in around four hours – a change largely applauded by fans.## As reported earlier, WWE is exploring various card combinations, open to significant alterations. Adjustments were already made after Brock Lesnar's unexpected Royal Rumble absence, and the highly anticipated CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins title match was scrapped due to Punk's triceps injury.## The main event, featuring Cody Rhodes likely challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, remains intact for the April event. WrestleVotes revealed an intriguing development: the show's start time has been moved up an hour, potentially accompanied by a two-hour pre-show. ## “Source states WWE has made the decision to change the WrestleMania start time. The main card will now begin at 7pm EST, presumably with a kickoff show starting at 5pm EST. This will be for both nights of WrestleMania.” ## Source states WWE has made the decision to change the WrestleMania start time.
