WrestleMania 41: Full Match Card Predictions

WrestleMania 41 is around the corner. With WWE riding a wave of creative momentum, this year’s iteration is set to be one of the most explosive ever. Our predictions will dive into all marquee bouts. Who will leave Las Vegas with their names etched in history?

Jade Cargill vs. Naomi

If these two can crank up the intensity similar to the Elimination Chamber, this match has the potential to be a major highlight. WWE’s big free-agent signing, Cargill, will be debuting in her first WrestleMania single match, so defeating Naomi would put her in a major spot to elevate herself as a face. Of course, that doesn’t mean Naomi also won’t benefit here, as she has been great since turning heel. Naomi’s attack on Jade, which put her out of commission for the Women’s Tag Team Championships, will undoubtedly have her looking for revenge here.

Prediction: Jade Cargill wins

Rey Mysterio vs El Grande Americano

Over the course of 2025, it seems like Chad Gable has been picking up loss after loss. The new luchador persona of El Grande Americano will surely have enraged the WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, setting the groundwork for a great match. Frankly, Mysterio is much older and has little to prove right now, whereas Gable is younger and just engaged in a new luchador gimmick, meaning that WWE could have more ideas in mind for him. For this reason alone, we see Gable winning here.

Prediction: El Grande Americano wins

World Tag Team Championship: The New Day vs. The War Raiders

It’s been a slow burn with little buildup since the Raiders’ title win over the Creed Brothers and New Day’s heel turn after betraying Big E. Expect a hard-hitting brawl, with War Raiders’ double-team moves like the Fallout against the tactics of The New Day. Since WWE seems set on re-establishing New Day as an elite tag team, the narrative is leaning towards them stealing the titles in their own crafty way and capitalizing on their heel momentum. But don’t bet against a Big E interference which could set up a post-Mania feud.

Prediction: The New Day wins

U.S. Championship Match: LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu

All signs seem to point to Jacob Fatu getting his big moment here. He has steamrolled opponents since his debut, and betting odds clearly seem to favor him. LA Knight remains a popular figure and despite it feeling like WWE has given up on him, getting a WrestleMania singles match is a major moment for him. Either result will satisfy fans in some way, but despite Fatu being the next big thing — is it too early for him to win the gold? We wouldn’t be shocked at a twist here, like ringside meddling from Solo Sikoa, which blows the match for Fatu. Still, we think Fatu will come out the winner.

Prediction: Jacob Fatu wins

Women’s Championship Match: Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair

This feud has gotten messy, to say the least. Promos that have led to unscripted personal insults have fueled this to the next level, and fans have largely laid the blame on Flair for getting to this point. But, Flair is one of the GOATs of women’s wrestling, and she simply doesn’t lose matches like this. We could envision that WWE will want to play out this feud longer, especially as Flair has only just returned and Stratton is one of the fastest-rising wrestlers in the company. Stratton could get a rematch down the line, either through a Last Woman Standing or a ladder match.

Prediction: Charlotte Flair wins

World Heavyweight Championship: Jey Uso vs. Gunther

It just seems like Jey Uso’s character has been revolving around this title push. This will be the time for him to prove to the world he is more than just an “entrance merchant”. While fans debated over the merit of him winning the Royal Rumble, we don’t think many could complain about him winning the title off Gunther here. Gunther’s recent heel turn, where he left Jey’s brother Jimmy a bloody mess in front of him, shows he can do great work as a heel, and we can see WWE wanting to pursue this storyline further. One thing is for certain: we may see some of the most epic ‘YEETs’ in history in Las Vegas.

Prediction: Jey Uso wins

Triple Threat Match — Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk

The ‘main event’ of Saturday night (and arguably of WrestleMania) pits three men who all have extreme animosity against one another. CM Punk will be walking down with the Tribal Chief’s Wise Man and Reigns’ manager, Paul Heyman — thanks to a favor. When you combine that with the feud between Reigns and Rollins, you have the recipe for a great match. This is one of the most unpredictable matches of the weekend. Rollins and Reigns both lost last year, and this will be Punk’s first-ever WrestleMania main event. Heyman will be pulled in three different directions, and he could play a big role in this match — but to what extent remains to be seen.

Prediction: CM Punk wins

Women’s Tag Team Championship: Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria were only just introduced as a tag team after winning the Women’s Tag Team Gauntlet match on SmackDown. Valkyria is a talented performer in her own right, being the reigning Women’s Intercontinental Champion and former NXT Women’s Champion. Bayley is also an experienced performer in tag-team matches, making this a potentially interesting contest. We could envision an interference from Liv’s ringside boyfriend Dominik Mysterio, or Roxanne Perez which could cost Bayley and Valkyria the win. Conversely, Becky Lynch, who has been expected to return and has lost to Liv Morgan multiple times, could come out and fight off the Judgement Day. Regardless, we think Morgan and Rodriguez will continue their reign here.

Prediction: Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez win

Fatal Four-Way for the Intercontinental Title: Bron Breakker vs. Dominik Mysterio vs. Penta vs. Finn Balor

Champion Bronn Breakker will be defending his title against three other contenders. What makes this match even spicier is the fact that Balor and Mysterio are part of the same faction — the Judgement Day. Mysterio has said on multiple occasions that he will do anything to help Finn Balor, which makes us even more certain that Mysterio will potentially backstab his friend to win the title. Penta has been a breakout star ever since he came to the WWE, but the storyline will likely remain focused on the cracks forming within the Judgement Day.

Prediction: Dominik Mysterio wins

Sin City Street Fight: Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre

Damian Priest is a character WWE has been trying to build, but he will be coming in as an underdog here. Drew McIntyre spent a lot of last year focusing on CM Punk, though there is still a lot of animosity between these two ever since WrestleMania 40, where Priest used Money in the Bank to win the belt off McIntyre. These two have constantly been at each other’s throats with personal insults and violence that have culminated in this match, but McIntyre has the championship pedigree to see this one out.

Prediction: Drew McIntyre wins

AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul

WWE seems intent on elevating Logan Paul, and as a result, we get a match with little to no story. AJ Styles is a legend who has been doing this for nearly 30 years. Logan Paul, while athletic and talented, is largely disliked by the fans and will likely get booed out of the building, regardless of the result. On paper, it would be nice to see Styles get the win here. However, Paul seems to have long-term plans to lean into being a heel in the company, and we could easily see him cheat in one way or another to secure the victory.

Prediction: Logan Paul wins

Triple Threat Match for the Women’s Championship: Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair

Champion Iyo Sky will be defending her title against Ripley and Belair, with the latter two starting to see fan reactions turn on them. Iyo shocked the world by taking the belt off Ripley not long ago, so it may feel a bit too soon to have her claim it back now. Iyo’s reign still feels fresh, and her keeping the belt will allow WWE to build on her momentum as a high-flying champion. We could see Ripley and Belair getting in each other’s way, causing mistakes and tensions to boil over, setting up heel turns to lean into fan animosity.

Prediction: Iyo Sky retains

WrestleMania Sunday Main Event: Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena

This one is hard to predict. Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber, and this will be his last WrestleMania in the midst of his farewell tour. If he wins, he will break the record for most world titles at 17, overtaking Ric Flair. Winning and breaking the record as a heel with the crowd booing would feel odd. Meanwhile, Cody respects Cena as a childhood hero but will refuse to be a stepping stone. WWE has spent a long time investing in Rhodes as their long-term cornerstone, and Cena doesn’t need the 17th belt to be considered the legend that he already is. Despite this, we can likely expect an appearance from The Rock, and the storyline will continue leading into SummerSlam.

Prediction: Cody Rhodes wins
