Top 10 WWE stars who can make their WrestleMania debuts in 2025

There are many names on the WWE roster who can have their first WrestleMania match this year

WWE is in the season of its premier and biggest event in history, WrestleMania 41. The show is set to take place on April 19 and 20 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Apart from the top-tier WWE superstars set for the show, this year would also be the sight of debuts.

There are upcoming stars like Tiffany Stratton, who will be making her debut in a match on The Grandest Stage of Them All this year, with many others who could follow. Witnessing that, here are the top ten names who could also have their debut at WrestleMania this year:

10. Pete Dunne

Pete Dunne has been recognized as one of the hard-hitting WWE superstars on the main roster today. He is slowly picking up the pace on Monday Night RAW with rivalries against Sheamus and most recently, Penta. His rise against top names in the business could possibly earn him his first slot at WrestleMania in Las Vegas this year.

9. Ludwig Kaiser

Ludwig Kaiser is emerging as a top prospect on Monday Night RAW following his split from Gunther and venturing out as a singles star. He was involved in feuds for the WWE Intercontinental title, with WWE having high hopes for him. Much like his girlfriend, Tiffany Stratton, Kaiser also has a chance to make his debut at WrestleMania 41 too.

8. Dakota Kai

Dakota Kai has been a fan favorite among the WWE Universe for her resilience and never-give-up attitude. She has an opportunity to become the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion on RAW, which could slate her for her first spot on WWE’s biggest stage, WrestleMania, in Las Vegas this year.

7. Motor City Machine Guns

The Motor City Machine Guns have made a huge impact in a short time after their WWE debut. They won the WWE Tag Team Titles on SmackDown and have delivered high-profile and power-packed tag performances. This makes it a top possibility for WWE to have them planned for a WrestleMania 41 match in a mega tag team showdown.

6. Lyra Valkyria

Lyra Valkyria has risen up to the ranks in her first year on the WWE main roster. She has battled the likes of top stars like Nia Jax and Liv Morgan and even became the inaugural WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion at the start of 2025. Should she get past Dakota Kai in their upcoming match, Valkyria stands a chance for a WrestleMania debut, possibly in a title match against a top contender.

5. Carmelo Hayes

After his remarkable stint in WWE NXT, Carmelo Hayes was the first-round draft pick for SmackDown last year. He has been making his place on the blue brand with spectacular matches against stars like Andrade, R-Truth, and LA Knight. Hayes, being an accomplished NXT star and having a good first year on the main roster, can make a case for a match at WrestleMania 41.

4. Uncle Howdy

While Bo Dallas has been a part of WrestleMania matches, his sinister alter-ego, Uncle Howdy, has never seen the bright lights of The Show of Shows. Following a power-packed and demonic run as the leader of The Wyatt Sicks, Uncle Howdy could have his first and major showdown at WrestleMania 41 against a top-tier WWE star to get a strong push for his career.

3. Penta

Penta has proven himself as one of the top signings WWE made from AEW. The luchador has made a huge impact in a short time as a WWE RAW star. Moreover, the fans were thrilled to see Penta throw punches at his idol, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio, at the 2025 Royal Rumble PLE. Witnessing that reaction, WWE can book this as a singles showdown for WrestleMania 41, with Penta making his debut.

2. Jacob Fatu

Jacob Fatu has become an exciting and dominant singles star ever since he branched out on his own with Tama Tonga by his side. Moreover, a recent report by WrestleVotes stated that Fatu might be slated for a match against Solo Sikoa at WrestleMania 41, citing recent tensions between them on SmackDown. Should that happen, this will mark The Samoan Werewolf’s debut at ‘The Show of Shows’.

1. Solo Sikoa

Solo Sikoa‘s rise as a major singles WWE star was seen in the year 2024. Despite being on the main roster for almost three years, Solo has never competed in a match at WrestleMania despite being present at the show by The Bloodline’s side. This year could finally mark his debut at The Show of Shows. As mentioned, it can happen against his former Enforcer, Jacob Fatu.
