WrestleMania 41 takes place this Saturday and Sunday from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. As always, the event is stacked with big matches featuring the top names in WWE.

Night 1 of the event is headlined by a triple threat match between three of the biggest superstars on the main roster as Seth Rollins takes on CM Punk and Roman Reigns. The match serves as Punk’s first WrestleMania main event, a goal that had previously eluded him in his legendary career.

But that’s not all. This event is always loaded with massive matches that are sure to get the fans inside Allegiant Stadium going wild all night. There’s the United States championship match between titleholder LA Knight and challenger Jacob Fatu, who many believe is destined to become a main event player sooner than later. There’s also the WWE women’s championship match between champion Tiffany Stratton and challenger Charlotte Flair, and things between the two have certainly gotten spicy in the last few weeks. Plus, the bitter rivalry between Jade Cargill and Naomi reaches its crescendo when the two square off.

Night 1 of WrestleMania 41 takes place on April 19 and will stream live on Peacock beginning at 7 p.m. ET. Let’s take a look at who the CBS Sports experts are picking in each match.

Ranking every WWE WrestleMania of all time: Where each of the 40 events fit ahead of 2025 edition

WWE WrestleMania Night 1 2025 predictions

Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns: WWE loves to make a splash to end the first night of WrestleMania and what bigger splash would there be than to have Paul Heyman help Rollins win rather than picking a side between Punk and Reigns. Everyone has been manipulating Heyman in one way or another, but Rollins is the most honest about his motivations. Punk finally gets his WrestleMania main event, Reigns is given fuel to move forward and Rollins is once again the architect of a genius plan. Pick: Seth Rollins wins — Brent Brookhouse

Not all main event stars have equal stature. Rollins has previously conceded that WWE may never see him as their top star. Punk and Reigns garner more fan interest and are presented more strongly for it. But Rollins is a tremendous asset to WWE. He’s popular, talented and extremely driven. The triple threat stipulation presents many possibilities for Rollins to sneak a win, elevating his profile against two top stars that are bulletproof. Pick: Seth Rollins wins — Shakiel Mahjouri

World Heavyweight Championship — Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso: Directly after Uso’s shocking Royal Rumble win, I figured him as a lock for a win and a great WrestleMania moment. Then the angle cooled off to a shocking degree. In recent weeks, WWE got the fire going a bit with Gunther’s brutal attack on Jey’s twin brother Jimmy and Jey’s passionate response. All that said, it no longer feels like an Uso title win is in the cards since there needs to be a hotter challenger to take the title from him. Pick: Gunther retains the title — Brookhouse (also Mahjouri)

WWE Women’s Championship — Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair: This WWE women’s title program has been messy. It’s a shame considering how much support Stratton rallied from the fans. Inserting Flair into the world title program gives it instant credibility but there isn’t enough upside to having her win. For whatever reason, the audience doesn’t seem to connect with Flair. Stratton should get the nod over the 14-time women’s world champion to really elevate her stock. Pick: Tiffany Stratton retains the title — Mahjouri (also Brookhouse)

United States Championship — LA Knight (c) vs. Jacob Fatu: Fatu might have the most potential of anyone on the roster. His aura is immense, his athleticism is remarkable and his mic skills are rough, rugged and raw. Fatu is on the way up and nothing can or should stop him. It’s a shame Knight, who is worthy of a good U.S. title reign, must be sacrificed to “The Samoan Werewolf.” Pick: Jacob Fatu wins the title — Mahjouri (also Brookhouse)

Jade Cargill vs. Naomi: Cargill and Naomi are quietly cooking up one of WrestleMania’s more compelling storylines. It’s been overshadowed by bigger names and tepid progress down the stretch, but this match demands attention. It’s the culmination of a long whodunnit mystery, which included Cargill’s explosive return at the Elimination Chamber and Naomi’s refreshing descent into madness. Building Cargill is the match’s primary goal. Cargill’s star presences screams off the page and Naomi can be trusted to guide her to a solid win. Pick: Jade Cargill wins — Mahjouri (also Brookhouse)

Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano: There are few modern angles as quintessentially “pro wrestling” as El Grande Americano, the masked wrestler who is very obviously the man claiming to not be under the mask. There is only so far you can carry that kind of angle without burning it out, however. That means Mysterio should get the win here and Chad Gable should face the consequences of his actions. Pick: Rey Mysterio wins — Brookhouse (also Mahjouri)

World Tag Team Championship — The War Raiders (c) vs. The New Day: Has any recent angle been as disappointing as New Day’s heel turn? Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods seemed destined for a split only to instead grow closer by turning on Big E. It was a brilliantly executed heel turn for a longtime babyface team. Then everything went completely flat. Pushing New Day into a story with War Raiders, who are basically forgotten champions on Raw, hasn’t done anything to build momentum, but the most interesting thing you can do for New Day at this point is for them to not win the tag belts and have a reason to continue raging. Pick: The War Raiders retain the titles — Brookhouse (also Mahjouri)

McIlroy in Scottish Open mix after late birdie burst

Rory McIlroy produced a brilliant late birdie burst to stay within four strokes of the lead after a low-scoring opening round at the Genesis Scottish Open. McIlroy birdied each of his last three holes to card a two-under 68 at the Renaissance Club, as four players shared the early lead at the event co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. Ryder Cup team-mate Sepp Straka carded a six-under 64 to top the leaderboard alongside Jake Knapp, Nico Echavarria and Victor Perez, with Scotland's Calum Hill and England's Marco Penge among the quartet a stroke back in tied-fifth.Viktor Hovland and former US Open champion Wyndham Clark were in the group two off the lead and world No 1 Scottie Scheffler opened with a three-under 67, as 32 players were separated by just three strokes after the opening day.McIlroy […]

Nuggets’ Cameron Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr. explain why they’re excited to play with Nikola Jokić

The Denver Nuggets reloaded this summer. After falling in the second round of the playoffs to the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder, the Nuggets went out and positioned themselves as a serious threat to the Thunder repeating next season. They traded Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets for Cameron Johnson, then signed Tim Hardaway Jr. away from the Detroit Pistons, to add to their bench depth.Both acquisitions very clearly tell us what Denver's plans were for this summer: add more shooting. Hardaway is a microwave scorer, capable of racking up points in a hurry if he's got the hot hand, and the ideal spark plug to have off the bench for a team that ranked 27th in bench scoring last season. Johnson is the even better get here for the Nuggets, as someone who fits the mold of a […]
