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.
Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso will take his shot at world heavyweight champion Gunther in another of the featured Night 1 matches. Uso has come up short in three matches against Gunther previously and now has the chance to score the biggest win of his career and put his rival down.
On the women’s side, WWE women’s champion Tiffany Stratton will put her title on the line against the legendary Charlotte Flair. Stratton and Flair recently made things personal in a verbal confrontation that went viral and there’s suddenly much more interest in a match that feels as though it could go sideways at any moment.
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.
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)

Barcelona hoje: time tem desfalques de peso contra o Real Madrid em final
O Barcelona encara o arquirrival Real Madrid, neste sábado (26), às 17h (de Brasília), valendo o título da Copa do Rei. Semifinalista da Champions, líder de La Liga e na decisão do torneio copeiro local, o time de Hansi Flick busca um ‘triplete’ especial nesta temporada 2024-25, podendo deixar o rival sem conquistas. Para o duelo, o time blaugrano não terá Robert Lewandowski, que segue em processo de recuperação de uma lesão na coxa, e deve dar lugar para Ferrán Torres. A lista de problemas dos catalães ainda conta com Marc Casadó e Marc Bernal. Ronald Araújo e Balde são tratados como dúvidas.

Alvo do mercado saudita, Raphinha admite que sairia do Barcelona no ano passado: ‘Resolveria minha vida. Quem fala que não iria é mentiroso’
Protagonista do Barcelona nesta temporada, Raphinha virou alvo da Arábia Saudita nos últimos dias. O atacante confessou que aceitaria uma oferta desse mercado no ano passado, já que estava "mentalmente para baixo". Ele é uma das apostas do time catalão para desbancar o rival Real Madrid, neste sábado, às 17h (de Brasília), pela final da Copa do Rei. — Na verdade, me pegou de supresa (oferta saudita). São números bem altos. Se tivesse chegado no ano passado, eu teria ido porque estava para baixo mentalmente. Resolveria a vida da minha família. Quem fala que não iria é mentiroso, já que é impossível ver valores dessa grandeza e não passar pela sua cabeça que vai mudar sua vida. Ainda tinha muito para dar no Barcelona e na Europa, além de seguir com a possibilidade de vestir a camisa da seleção. Isso […]
Meet Jack Murtagh: 2025 NHL Draft prospect, lover of scoring goals, ‘gamer’ and ‘freak athlete’
FRISCO, Tex. — The first word Shayne Stockton uses to describe Jack Murtagh is “gamer.”In his two seasons coaching Murtagh with the Bishop Kearney Selects’ U14 and U15 teams, Murtagh was the kid he always knew he could turn to when the team needed something.“In the biggest moments Jack came up big almost every time, whether we needed a goal or whatever,” Stockton said on a recent phone call. “Our schedule was absurd and we played the big dogs every night and Jack just brought it. He had some big, big time goals for us.”AdvertisementHe was also the kid who kept the room light, and made sure everyone was having fun. But it’s the gamer in him that Stockton will always come back to when people call to ask about Murtagh.He’s not alone, either.Two years after leaving Bishop Kearney, Greg […]
