WrestleMania 41, also promoted as WrestleMania Vegas, was a 2025 professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It was the 41st annual WrestleMania and took place as a two-night event on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. This was the second WrestleMania to take place in the Las Vegas area, after WrestleMania IX in 1993, which was held at Caesars Palace. The event aired via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming and featured wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.

This was the first WrestleMania to livestream on Netflix in most international markets as the platform began a 10-year rights deal with WWE in January 2025. This was the first WrestleMania held during Easter weekend and the first WrestleMania to feature a match with CM Punk since WrestleMania 29 in 2013, which included the first WrestleMania main event of his career. The event also featured John Cena's final WrestleMania match due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025. Its calendar date of April 19–20 also stands as the latest that WrestleMania has ever been held in any year.

The card comprised a total of 14 matches, evenly divided between each night. In the main event on Night 1, which was a cross-promotional match, Raw's Seth Rollins defeated Raw's CM Punk and SmackDown's Roman Reigns in a triple threat match, which saw Paul Heyman turn on both Punk and Reigns to side with Rollins. In other prominent matches, Jacob Fatu defeated LA Knight to win SmackDown's WWE United States Championship, Tiffany Stratton defeated Charlotte Flair to retain SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship, and in the opening bout, Jey Uso defeated Gunther by submission to win Raw's World Heavyweight Championship.

In the main event on Night 2, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to win SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship, marking his record 17th WWE world championship. In other prominent matches, Bron Breakker Retained the Intercontinental Championship against Dominik Mysterio, Finn Bálor, and Penta in a fatal four-way match , Drew McIntyre defeated Damian Priest in a Sin City Street Fight, in Which after Mcintyre Proceeded to attack, but Eli helped, created the Fued between Mcintyre and Eli, AJ Styles defeated Logan, and in the opening bout, which was a cross-promotional match, Raw's Bianca defeated Raw's Iyo Sky and Raw's Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match to Win Raw's Women's World Championship. The event was notable for appearances by rapper Travis Scott.

The event received mixed to positive reviews, with the Night 1 main event and the Women's World Championship match being singled out for acclaim, whilst the Sin City Street Fight, the Intercontinental Championship match, AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul, and the United States Championship match also garnered positive reviews. Criticism was directed mainly towards both men's world title matches, with the Night 2 main event and its finish in particular being described as "anti-climactic" by many fans and critics.

Production

Background

The event was held at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.

WrestleMania is WWE's flagship pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event, having first been held in 1985. It was the company's first PPV produced and was also WWE's first major event available via livestreaming when the company launched the WWE Network in February 2014. It is the longest-running event in WWE history and is held annually between mid-March to mid-April, featuring wrestlers from WWE's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.[3] Along with Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Money in the Bank, it is one of the company's five biggest events of the year, referred to as the "Big Five".[4][5][6] WrestleMania was ranked the sixth-most valuable sports brand in the world by Forbes,[7] and has been described as the Super Bowl of sports entertainment.[8] Similar to the Super Bowl, cities bid to host WrestleMania.[9]

On May 4, 2024, during NBC's pre-race coverage for the 150th Kentucky Derby, it was announced that Allegiant Stadium in the Las Vegas district of Paradise, Nevada would host WrestleMania 41 on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, marking the first WrestleMania to be held during Easter weekend. This is subsequently the second WWE event to be held at the venue after SummerSlam in 2021.[10] This is also the second WrestleMania held in the Las Vegas area, after WrestleMania IX in 1993, which was held at Caesars Palace, with the event in turn marketed as "WrestleMania Vegas".[11] Two-day combo tickets went on sale on October 25, 2024,[12] while single day tickets went on sale from January 24, 2025.[13] One of the official theme songs for the event was "Timeless" by The Weeknd and Playboi Carti, marking a record sixth consecutive year that a Weeknd track had served as a theme song for a WrestleMania.[14] "Fein" by Travis Scott featuring Playboi Carti was also an official theme song.[15]

Minneapolis, Minnesota was also a finalist to host the event at U.S. Bank Stadium. Its proponents said they had been informed that the decision to place the event in the Las Vegas area was driven by a "change in direction by new ownership", following the 2023 merger of WWE and Las Vegas-based Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) as TKO Group Holdings, controlled by UFC's previous sole owner Endeavor.[16] U.S. Bank Stadium would in turn get SummerSlam for 2026.[17]

Broadcast outlets

In addition to airing on traditional pay-per-view worldwide, WrestleMania 41 was available to livestream on Peacock in the United States, Netflix in most international markets, and the WWE Network in any remaining countries that had not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This marked the first WrestleMania to livestream on Netflix following the WWE Network's merger under the service in January 2025 in those areas. The select few territories that still have the standalone WWE Network will eventually merge under Netflix once the pre-existing contracts expire.[18]

Other WrestleMania week events

As part of the WrestleMania festivities, WWE held a number of events throughout the week. The week kicked off with a special "WrestleMania Edition" of Monday Night Raw, held at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. On April 17, Netflix presented WaleMania X from the Brooklyn Bowl.[19] The night before WrestleMania 41 on April 18, WWE kicked off WrestleMania Weekend with a special "WrestleMania Edition" of Friday Night SmackDown, which featured the annual André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal,[20] won by Carmelo Hayes.[21] After SmackDown, the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony commenced. During the afternoon of WrestleMania Saturday, WWE's NXT brand held its annual WrestleMania Weekend event, Stand & Deliver. After WrestleMania Saturday's conclusion, WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker hosted his 1deadMAN show. After WrestleMania Sunday's conclusion, there was a comedy event, "The Roast of WrestleMania Featuring Tony Hinchcliffe & Friends". On April 21 the Raw after WrestleMania took place, with all WrestleMania week events concluding with NXT on April 22. SmackDown, Stand & Deliver, and Raw were held live at the nearby T-Mobile Arena,[20] while the Hall of Fame ceremony, 1deadMAN Show, Roast of WrestleMania, and NXT were held live at the nearby Fontainebleau Las Vegas in the BleauLive Theater.[22][23][24] Also as part of WrestleMania 41 week, WWE partnered with independent wrestling promotions Game Changer Wrestling (GCW) and Future Stars of Wrestling (FSW) to co-promote the opening rounds of the WWE ID Championship and WWE Women's ID Championship tournaments at the Palms Casino Resort and FSW Arena in Las Vegas.[25]

In partnership with Fanatics Events, WWE also hosted the second annual WWE World at WrestleMania, a five-day fan convention held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The event began on Thursday, April 17 and ran through Monday, April 21. It included interview panel sessions with WWE wrestlers, live podcast recordings, meet-and-greets with wrestlers, and a large merchandise store with various memorabilia honoring WrestleMania's 41-year history.[26] WWE World also hosted the Slammy Awards during the afternoon of April 20.[27] Also, throughout April, WWE partnered with Clash of Clans with various superstars featured in the game, and included an "enhanced match sponsorship" at WrestleMania 41.[28] On Friday, April 18 and Monday, April 21, WWE commentator Pat McAfee hosted his eponymous ESPN afternoon talk show live from WWE World.[29]

Celebrity involvement

As is tradition at WrestleMania, various celebrities from outside of wrestling participated in various capacities. UFC President Dana White narrated the cold open for Night 1. Country singer Jelly Roll performed "God Bless America" to kick off Night 1. In a cross-promotion for the 2025 video game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, disc jockey Salvatore Ganacci opened for Jey Uso's entrance, which also had involvement from the Las Vegas Raiderettes cheerleading squad. Meteorologist Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel was part of Jade Cargill's entrance. Living Colour played their song "Cult of Personality" for CM Punk's entrance in the main event of Night 1.[30] Pop singer Ava Max performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" to kick off Night 2. Slayer guitarist Kerry King played for Damian Priest's entrance. Travis Scott also got involved in the Night 2 main event match.[31]

Storylines

The event included a total of 14 matches, split evenly between both nights, that resulted from scripted storylines. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands,[32][33] while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.[34]

Main event matches

In his final WrestleMania match, John Cena challenged Cody Rhodes for SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship in the main event of Night 2 in an attempt to become a record 17-time WWE world champion.[lower-alpha 1]

At Money in the Bank in 2024, John Cena revealed that he would retire from professional wrestling at the end of 2025, and also announced that he would compete at WrestleMania 41.[35] After losing the men's Royal Rumble match at the eponymous event in February,[36] Cena entered himself into the men's Elimination Chamber match for one last chance to challenge for a world championship at WrestleMania 41, citing that main-eventing his last WrestleMania and becoming a record 17-time WWE world champion would be "best for business".[37] Also around this time, TKO board member Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tried to bribe SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to be his corporate champion, claiming that they had become friends following their clash at the prior year's WrestleMania XL and that he could elevate Rhodes's career.[38] At Elimination Chamber: Toronto, Cena won the eponymous match, earning a title match against Rhodes at WrestleMania. Following the match, Rhodes appeared to congratulate Cena followed by The Rock to get Rhodes's answer to his offer. Rhodes declined and Cena embraced Rhodes; however, Cena then viciously attacked Rhodes, siding with Rock, turning heel for the first time since 2003.[39] In the weeks following, Cena berated the audience, claiming they had mistreated him for the last 20+ years, and that he turned on Rhodes because he was disgusted by him. Rhodes chastised Cena and told him he wanted to face the real Cena at WrestleMania 41, not this "whiny" version.[40][41] Cena also claimed that that after he won the title, he would take it with him when he retired.[42] It was later confirmed that the match would be the main event on Night 2.[43]

In his first WrestleMania main event, CM Punk faced Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in a triple threat match on Night 1. This match was Reigns's record 10th WrestleMania main event and Rollins's third.[lower-alpha 2]

Upon CM Punk's return to WWE at Survivor Series: WarGames in November 2023,[44] he immediately became a target of Seth Rollins. Unable to compete for several months after tearing his triceps at the 2024 Royal Rumble,[45] Punk returned from injury and had various encounters with Rollins, further enraging him. In November, Punk joined Roman Reigns's team as its fifth member at that year's Survivor Series: WarGames in the WarGames match on behalf of his former manager and Reigns's special counsel, Paul Heyman, with Heyman owing Punk a favor for agreeing to the match, which they won.[46] Punk became the target of Rollins once again due to Rollins's hatred of both Reigns and Punk. This culminated in a match on Raw's Netflix premiere, in which Punk defeated Rollins.[47] At the 2025 Royal Rumble, Punk eliminated both Reigns and Rollins before his own elimination. The three brawled at ringside where Rollins performed a two-footed stomp on Reigns, ruling him unable to compete for the next few weeks.[36] Punk also eliminated Rollins from the men's Elimination Chamber match. Following his elimination, Rollins subsequently performed a Stomp on Punk, costing him the match.[39] On the following episode of Raw, Punk spoke about his failure to compete in a WrestleMania main event before brawling with Rollins.[48] They then faced each other the following week in a Steel Cage match, which Rollins won after a returning Reigns pulled him out of the cage to attack him as revenge from the Royal Rumble. Then, enraged by Heyman tending to Punk in the ring, Reigns also attacked Punk.[49] After a brawl between the three men on the March 21 episode of SmackDown,[50] a triple threat match was scheduled for WrestleMania 41.[51] During the contract signing the following week, Heyman announced that the match would main event WrestleMania.[52][53] While grateful for finally competing in the main event of a WrestleMania, Punk stated that it was not the favor he was owed from Heyman.[52] On the April 4 episode of SmackDown, Punk revealed his favor which was that Heyman would be in his corner at WrestleMania, much to Reigns's dismay.[54] On the subsequent episode of Raw on April 7, Rollins confronted and later assaulted Heyman; this brought out Punk and ignited a brawl between Rollins and Punk, where Rollins got the upper hand. Whilst Heyman was tending to Punk, Rollins teased a Stomp on Heyman but stopped mid-way, stating that Heyman now owed him a favor.[55] It was later confirmed that the match would be the main event on Night 1.[56]

Undercard matches

At Saturday Night's Main Event XXXVIII, Gunther defeated Jey Uso to retain Raw's World Heavyweight Championship.[57] Uso then won the men's Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble the following week, earning a world championship match of his choice at WrestleMania 41.[36] While not making an official decision, Uso confronted Gunther on the following Raw, where Gunther stated that Uso should choose SmackDown's world champion because he had already defeated Uso and instead deserved to defend the title against someone like John Cena.[58] After making an appearance on that week's SmackDown,[59] Uso opened the February 10 episode of Raw where he was attacked by Gunther. Uso subsequently decided he would challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41.[60] The match was later confirmed for Night 1.[56]

At the Royal Rumble, SmackDown's Charlotte Flair won the women's Royal Rumble match, earning a world championship match of her choice at WrestleMania 41.[36] Flair subsequently appeared on the following episodes of Raw, NXT, and SmackDown to confront each brand's respective champions before finally choosing to challenge Tiffany Stratton for SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship at WrestleMania 41.[61] The match was later confirmed for Night 1.[56]

Throughout February, qualifying matches were held to determine the participants for the women's Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chamber: Toronto, with the winner earning a match for Raw's Women's World Championship at WrestleMania 41. During Iyo Sky's qualifying match, reigning Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley attacked Sky's opponent, unintentionally causing a disqualification loss for Sky. Due to this, Ripley rewarded Sky with a title match, which was scheduled for after Elimination Chamber on the March 3 episode of Raw.[58] At Elimination Chamber, SmackDown's Bianca Belair won the eponymous match,[39] while Sky subsequently defeated Ripley on Raw to win the title, confirming that Sky would defend the Women's World Championship against Belair at WrestleMania.[48] During the contract signing on the March 17 episode, however, Ripley interrupted and performed a powerbomb on Sky onto Belair, after which, Ripley instead signed the contract.[40] Sky was then scheduled to face Ripley on the March 31 episode in a title rematch with Belair as the special guest referee,[42] which ended in a double disqualification, thus Sky retained.[41] Raw General Manager Adam Pearce subsequently decided that Sky would defend her championship against both Belair and Ripley in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41.[55] The match was later confirmed for Night 2.[43]

At the Royal Rumble, SmackDown's AJ Styles made a surprise return from injury and competed in the Royal Rumble match only to be eliminated by Raw's Logan Paul.[36] As part of WWE's transfer window, Styles was transferred to the Raw brand.[62] After several weeks of confrontations, Styles challenged Paul to a match on the March 31 episode of Raw, however, Paul declined, stating that he did not "fight for free" and pointed to the WrestleMania sign, after which, a brawl ensued between the two men. Later that night, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce scheduled a match between Paul and Styles for WrestleMania 41.[41] The match was later confirmed for Night 2.[43]

After LA Knight regained the United States Championship on the March 7 episode of SmackDown,[63] several wrestlers stated their intentions to challenge Knight for the title, including The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu.[64] On the March 21 episode, Braun Strowman, who had been embroiled in a rivalry with The Bloodline (Fatu, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga) for the past few months, defeated Fatu via disqualification after Sikoa and Tama attacked Strowman, who as a result earned a title match against Knight that was scheduled for the following week,[50] which ended in a no contest after Fatu attacked both Knight and Strowman.[52] On the April 4 episode, Fatu defeated Strowman in a Last Man Standing match, earning a United States Championship match against Knight at WrestleMania 41.[65] The match was later confirmed for Night 1.[56]

On the February 10 episode of Raw, Bayley defeated Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria in a non-title match to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match at the namesake event.[60] Two weeks later, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.[66] At Elimination Chamber: Toronto, Morgan also competed and eliminated Bayley, although failed to win the match herself.[39] On the March 10 episode of Raw, Rodriguez defeated Bayley to earn a future title match against Valkyria,[49] but despite losing, Valkyria promised to give Bayley a future title match.[67] On the March 24 episode, Valkyria defeated Rodriguez to retain the title despite interference from Morgan. After the match, both Rodriguez and Morgan attacked Valkyria, who was saved by Bayley.[42] On the April 7 episode of Raw, Valkyria successfully defended the title against Bayley,[55] and on that week's SmackDown, Bayley and Valkyria won a women's tag team gauntlet match to earn a title match against Morgan and Rodriguez at WrestleMania 41.[68] The match was later confirmed for Night 2.[43] However, prior to Night 1's broadcast, Bayley was attacked backstage and ruled unable to compete with Valkyria needing to find a new partner.[69]

After LA Knight regained the United States Championship on the March 7 episode of SmackDown,[63] several wrestlers stated their intentions to challenge Knight for the title, including The Bloodline's Jacob Fatu.[64] On the March 21 episode, Braun Strowman, who had been embroiled in a rivalry with The Bloodline (Fatu, Solo Sikoa, and Tama Tonga) for the past few months, defeated Fatu via disqualification after Sikoa and Tama attacked Strowman, who as a result earned a title match against Knight that was scheduled for the following week,[50] which ended in a no contest after Fatu attacked both Knight and Strowman.[52] On the April 4 episode, Fatu defeated Strowman in a Last Man Standing match, earning a United States Championship match against Knight at WrestleMania 41.[65] The match was later confirmed for Night 1.[56]

On the February 10 episode of Raw, Bayley defeated Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria in a non-title match to qualify for the Elimination Chamber match at the namesake event.[60] Two weeks later, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez won the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.[66] At Elimination Chamber: Toronto, Morgan also competed and eliminated Bayley, although failed to win the match herself.[39] On the March 10 episode of Raw, Rodriguez defeated Bayley to earn a future title match against Valkyria,[49] but despite losing, Valkyria promised to give Bayley a future title match.[70] On the March 24 episode, Valkyria defeated Rodriguez to retain the title despite interference from Morgan.
