WWE can surprise its fans with these unpredictable decisions
We are mere days away from the biggest event of WWE, and the excitement among the fans is off the charts. The card is stacked, and WWE did a great job of building up these matches as well.
This will be the second WrestleMania with Triple H as the head of creative. He has brought some major changes to the WWE product, with the most significant one being the unpredictable nature of his booking decisions.
He is not afraid to think outside the box and excels in keeping the fans excited and engaged with the stories he tries to tell. Considering that, here are our top 10 bold predictions for WrestleMania 41.
10. Charlotte Flair wins against Tiffany Straton
Fans were not happy when Charlotte Flair came back to the WWE and won the Royal Rumble. She was heavily booed, and the company had to change their plans and turn her heel. Since then, WWE Universe has shown its strong support for Tiffany to retain her title. However, WWE can book Charlotte to win and establish her as the big bad of the women’s division.
9. Aleister Black or Rusev to return
Both Aleister and Rusev left WWE and joined AEW in the last years. However, they are expected to return to the promotion soon and WrestleMania 41 will be the perfect platform for that. Either one of them can answer the rumoured open challenge of Randy Orton and face the Viper at the show of shows.

8. Dominik Mysterio to win the Intercontinental title by pinning Finn Balor
The rise of Dominik Mysterio has been incredible since his heel turn. He has played his character to utter perfection in recent years and his hard work can be rewarded with the first main roster title win at Wrestlemania 41. However, WWE can plant the seeds of the break-up of Judgement Day by having Dominik Mysterio pin Finn Balor, which will cause a stir in the faction.
7. Bianca Belair continues her unbeaten WrestleMania streak
Bianca Belair will face Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley in a triple-threat match for the Women’s World Championship on night two of WrestleMania 41. She won the Elimination Chamber and can clinch a victory against her opponents to continue her unbeaten streak at the Show of Shows. Since joining the main roster, her record at the event is 4-0. WWE can turn this record into something significant and can introduce it in storylines for years to come.
6. Solo Sikoa betrays Jacob Fatu
The dynamic between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu shifted dramatically after the latter lost against Roman Reigns on Raw’s debut episode on Netflix. Jacob went from telling the world about his love for Solo to disregarding his relevance altogether. The Samoan werewolf is challenging LA Knight for the U.S championship at WrestleMania. The prospect of Jocab winning a title before him can trigger jealousy in Solo which can result in him turning on his own bloodline.

5. Damian Priest wins against Drew McIntyre
One of the most interesting matches on the card is a street fight between Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre. Both superstars enjoyed a successful year in 2024 and are two of the most important names on the roaster. However, the story WWE has been telling with Drew McIntyre for the past year is that he always comes short on the biggest of occasions and that trend can continue against Damian Priest as well.
4. Gunther retains the World Heavyweight Championship
Jey Uso has been one of the most overhyped in the promotion for the last few years. WWE pulled the trigger on his main-event push when they booked him to win the 2025 Royal Rumble over John Cena. He is facing Gunther at WrestleMania and the build-up to their match has been great. Fans are expecting Jey to finally beat Gunther and win his first world title, but WWE can go the opposite route and have Gunther continue his dominant reign.

3. Randy Orton turns Heel
Randy Orton was involved in a rivalry with Kevin Owens and both were supposed to go head-to-head at the show. However, an ill-timed injury to Kevin has left Randy without an opponent for WrestleMania.
The Viper attacked SmackDown’s general manager, Nick Aldis, with an RKO after this news, and this can build the foundation for an eventual heel turn. Randy does his best work as the bad guy and him joining the dark side at the grandest stage of them all can create a buzz among the wrestling fans.
2. Stone Cold Steve Austin & The Rock return
Steve Austin and The Rock are two of the biggest names in the history of the WWE, but these legends have not shared the same ring since 2014. Steve Austin was rumoured to return in the main event of the show to help Cody last year but could not come to an agreement with the company.
However, it can change this year as he can accompany the current WWE champion to fight off the duo of The Rock and John Cena in the main event.
1. Cody Rhodes retains the WWE Championship
The heel turn of John Cena transcended the world of professional wrestling and created a shockwave around the world. John has promised the fans that he will capture the world title at WrestleMania and ruin wrestling for everyone.
It makes the most sense that he wins his record 17th title and creates history at WrestleMania, but WWE can book Cody Rhodes to retain at the grandest stage of them all. This can result in Cena seeing the light and setting him on a path to redemption.
