WrestleMania 41: The Date, The Match Card, And Other Things We Know About The Upcoming WWE Event

Once again, here I am, eagerly anticipating that special time of the year – the approach of WrestleMania 41! You won’t believe it, but the realm of professional wrestling is gearing up for an unforgettable invasion in Las Vegas, Nevada. The WWE is set to bring the “Showcase of the Immortals” to the city known as “Sin City,” a venue that hasn’t hosted this grand event in more than three decades.

The anticipation is high, trying to top Cody Rhodes’ epic tale or the reign of The Final Boss at WrestleMania 40. But there’s so much excitement brewing for the upcoming WWE spectacle!

Let me give you an overview of what we currently know about WrestleMania 41. We’ll cover where and when it will take place, how to watch it online, and the matches that are being planned as of now. So, let’s dive into all the details (that we have so far) regarding this highly anticipated wrestling event.

When Is WrestleMania 41?

According to the official WWE website, WrestleMania 41 is scheduled for Saturday, April 19 and Sunday, April 20, 2025. Unlike previous years where the event has been held as late as the second week of April, this year’s WrestleMania will be the latest WrestleMania to take place in the calendar year.

This year’s event will carry on the practice of spreading WrestleMania across two nights, a tradition initiated due to WrestleMania 36 being pre-recorded without a live audience in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The grand wrestling spectacle has proven beneficial for WWE, particularly in 2024 when WrestleMania 40 (or XL) unfolded an unforgettable narrative that unfolded over two nights, ending with Cody Rhodes finally defeating Roman Reigns.

Where Is WrestleMania 41 Being Held?

This year, WWE will carry on with the customary setting for WrestleMania – grand, cutting-edge arenas – as the wrestling equivalent of the Super Bowl takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, which is near Las Vegas. Opened in 2020, this stadium, home to the Las Vegas Raiders, boasts a capacity of 71,835 seats and has already played host to significant events such as Super Bowl LVIII, multiple concerts, and SummerSlam 2021.

Since Allegiant Stadium features a roof, spectators can now avoid the challenges of harsh weather conditions, as seen during WrestleMania 40’s freezing temperatures and the extended rain interruptions at WrestleMania 37.

How Can You Watch WrestleMania 41 Live?

Since 2021, WrestleMania 41 will be accessible to individuals holding a Peacock subscription in the U.S., American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. On the other hand, viewers residing in countries such as the UK, Australia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and several others can enjoy the spectacle via a Netflix subscription now that the individual WWE Network no longer exists.

Confirmed Matches On The WrestleMania 41 Card

Currently, just two official match-ups have been announced, and interestingly enough, they feature the victors from the 2025 Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble events.

Over the last five occasions, there have been between 14 and 16 fights. Therefore, it’s not unexpected that we might see a similar number of matches when WWE comes to Las Vegas. The confirmed match count for WrestleMania 41’s two-night schedule is likely to increase each week until mid-April. However, here are the main event performers you can anticipate:

  • World Heavyweight Championship Match: Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso
  • WWE Women’s Championship Match: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair

Rumored Matches On The WrestleMania 41 Card

In summary, it’s anticipated that WrestleMania 41 will host between 14 to 16 matches, leaving much room for programming on the two-day event. The following suggestions are speculative rather than confirmed, derived from recent trends on Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown, as well as with Elimination Chamber scheduled for March 1st.

The uncontested WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, is set to battle the victor of the Men’s Elimination Chamber match, which could potentially be any wrestler among John Cena, CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Logan Paul, Damian Priest, or Seth “Freakin” Rollins. The tide can change swiftly in WWE, but it wouldn’t be unexpected to see Cena, Punk, or McIntyre, given their compelling backstories related to the championship title.

If Rhea Ripley manages to keep her Women’s Championship against Iyo Sky in the March 3rd episode of Raw, she will face the victor of the Women’s Elimination Chamber match at WrestleMania 41. Among those who could challenge her are Liv Morgan, Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Naomi, or Roxanne Perez, depending on who wins that match.

Additional matches are being discussed or are just speculation at this point. It’s possible that the rivalry between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn could culminate at WrestleMania, and there are whispers that WWE is planning a face-off between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. Additionally, there’s been a lot of excitement about a potential triple threat match featuring Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins, which could be the highlight of the event. Keep an eye out for more details to come!

When Does The 2025 WWE Hall Of Fame Ceremony Take Place?

Over the last several years, the WWE Hall of Fame induction event has traditionally been shown live right after the final episode before the big event, known as “SmackDown.” However, WWE hasn’t shared any details about this year’s ceremony yet. According to insider reports from WrestleVotes X, there might be a shift in format this year due to some internal concerns expressed by company members.

Look forward to receiving further details about the specific day and hour within the approaching weeks, particularly with the ongoing announcements of the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductees. For now, check out the list of those already announced:

  • Paul “Triple H” Levesque
  • Michelle McCool

When Does NXT: Stand & Deliver Take Place?

As a devoted movie buff, I’ve eagerly anticipated NXT: Stand & Deliver every year since 2021, especially because it’s become a tradition to hold these shows during WrestleMania weekend, with each event since 2022 taking place on the night before WrestleMania 1. This year is no exception, as I’m thrilled to share that the premium live event is scheduled for April 19th. The specific time hasn’t been revealed yet, and the match lineup remains a mystery, but rest assured, those details will be unveiled soon!

In just under two months, you can anticipate numerous alterations to the schedule for WrestleMania 41. Keep in mind that the lineup might still be modified…
