The WrestleMania 41 card is coming together as WWE prepares to bring the event to Las Vegas on April 19 and 20. But just because we know the majority of the biggest matches that will go down at the event doesn’t mean the two-night event is complete.
Night One has a main event locked in with Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk, while Night Two will feature the headline-grabbing match between undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
Here’s a look at the confirmed matches for WrestleMania 41:
- Undisputed WWE Championship — Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena
- Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk
- World Heavyweight Championship — Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso
- Women’s World Championship — Iyo Sky (c) vs. Bianca Belair
- WWE Women’s Championship — Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
- Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
- AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
Knowing there will be more matches added across both nights, the CBS Sports experts sat down to predict two matches to be added from Raw (Brent Brookhouse) and SmackDown (Shakiel Mahjouri).
Raw
Intercontinental Championship — Bron Breakker (c) vs. Penta vs. Finn Balor: Breakker needs to be featured on the biggest stages and it appears as though WWE has been setting him up with a few potential opponents. Penta has been red hot since debuting in WWE and recently announced that he was targeting the intercontinental championship. Balor had also set his sights on the title, and though he lost to Breakker in a March title match, he recently pinned Penta in a tag team match after Breakker accidentally hit Penta with a spear. That’s just enough tangled stories to justify a high-octane triple threat with a chance to steal the show.
World Tag Team Championship — War Raiders (c) vs. New Day: New Day’s heel turn, tossing Big E to the curb, was a great moment that breathed new life into an act that had grown very stale over the past few years. Unfortunately, the momentum kind of stalled out for New Day after that. Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have recently began calling for a shot at the tag titles, currently held by War Raiders in what has been a fairly forgettable run. Hopefully, pairing these two teams would give them both a spark and lead to a good match. Tag team wrestling is arguably the best form of wrestling and WWE has too much talent for this division to be stuck in such a rut.
SmackDown
United States Championship — LA Knight (c) vs. Jacob Fatu: Fatu is determined to bring gold to the family, whether or not he has The Bloodline’s support. Multiple superstars have had their eyes on the U.S. title ever since Knight reclaimed it from Shinsuke Nakamura, Fatu chief among them. Solo Sikoa’s interference cost Fatu the title once but he’s poised for another chance. Braun Strowman could be added to the mix to make it a triple threat, and Jimmy Uso was also on the hunt before taking a detour to get involved in Raw’s world heavyweight title feud.
Naomi vs. Jade Cargill: Cargill made an emphatic return at the Elimination Chamber, brutalizing Naomi for injuring her months earlier, but she’s still on the warpath. Cargill won’t be satisfied until she gets her hands on Naomi again. Naomi has undergone a radical character shift in response, moving away from her bubbly “glow” personality. WrestleMania seems like an appropriate place to resolve this midcard feud.

Phillies win the hard way — against themselves and the Nationals
PHILADELPHIA — He stood next to his locker with a gray towel around his neck, tugging at each end, as if he had just been through a 12-round fight and José Alvarado loved every moment of this. More and more reporters joined the scrum around him Tuesday night after a 7-6 Philadelphia Phillies win. Some teammates formed an audience. “That’s a big moment,” Alvarado said, retelling how he struck out the side after loading the bases in the eighth inning. Alvarado has a photo of Rocky Balboa tucked in the back of his locker this year.AdvertisementIt didn’t need to be this hard. That, so far, is the story of the 16-13 Phillies.“You see some new stuff every day in this game,” Alec Bohm said, and in this case, he was referring to the rock fight held between the teams that […]
Jayson Tatum leads Celtics to record-breaking victory over Magic
The Boston Celtics etched their name in NBA history during Game 5 of their first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic on April 29 at TD Garden. Trailing at halftime, the Celtics roared back to secure a 120-88 victory, becoming the first team in NBA playoff history to win by 30+ points after being down at the break. "The @celtics are the first team in NBA playoff history to trail at halftime but end up winning by 30+ points," OptaSTATS announced on X, capturing the magnitude of the feat. Jayson Tatum led the charge, finishing with 35 points, eight rebounds, and 10 assists, per NBA.com, showcasing why he's a cornerstone of Boston's championship aspirations. The Celtics' second-half surge was fueled by a stifling defense, holding Orlando to just 40 points after the break while shooting 60% from the field themselves. […]
Arsenal na kolotoči. PSG si před vítězným gólem vyměnil rekordní počet přihrávek
„Těch šestadvacet přihrávek ukazuje na dynamiku a kreativitu, kterými disponujeme. Máme opravdu silný tým,“ rozplýval se portugalský záložník Vitinha, který byl vyhlášen mužem zápasu. Gólová akce začala v čase 02:07 rozehraným volným kopem u postranní čáry, balon si postupně vyměnili téměř všichni hráči PSG. Precizní dílo završil Dembélé.Hosté na Emirates vysloveně vtrhli, Arsenalu 25 minut téměř nepůjčili míč. V tento čas byl poměr držení míče 80 % ku 20 % v jejich prospěch. „Ukázali jsme velkou kvalitu. Snažili jsme se prosadit svojí hrou. Bylo skvělé, že jsme dali brzy gól. Jasně, pak jsme v průběhu utkání někdy trpěli, ale mohli jsme vstřelit klidně tři góly,“ uvedl trenér PSG Luis Enrique.26 - There were 26 passes in the build-up to Ousmane Dembélé’s winner for Paris SG, both the most for a goal for the French side and the most for a goal conceded by Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League on […]
Crystal Palace reap the rewards as Oliver Glasner’s patience starts to pay off
Oliver Glasner openly acknowledges he is not instinctively a patient man, but the Crystal Palace manager has been more forgiving than most of those players who have taken time to find their feet at the south London club.For Daichi Kamada, that might in part be born of familiarity from their time together at Eintracht Frankfurt. Yet Glasner had no prior connection with Ismaila Sarr nor Eddie Nketiah and all three, at certain points and to different extents, have found life taxing at Palace since arriving last summer.AdvertisementKamada, a high earner after his free transfer from Lazio, has only made a sporadic impact this season, operating mostly off the substitutes’ bench, before gradually delivering a more meaningful contribution over the past month or so. He came with a strong reputation; expectations were high.The story is similar for Nketiah, who joined from Arsenal […]
