WrestleMania 41 will be a two-night extravaganza in Las Vegas.
WrestleMania 41 has become one of the most stacked match cards in the show’s history. The two-night extravaganza will take place on April 19 and 20 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Both nights will feature an array of top-tier WWE superstars competing in captivating bouts and matches.
Moreover, WWE recently unveiled the match cards for both WrestleMania 41 Night 1 and Night 2. In regard to the first night of the show, many top matches have been scheduled. Here are Khel Now’s predictions for WrestleMania 41 Night 1.
The War Raiders vs The New Day
Erik and Ivar are scheduled to defend their WWE World Tag Team titles against The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. The duo embraced the dark side and since then, have displayed their mean streak to the fans on RAW each week.
Moreover, the War Raiders’ title reign has been lackluster, and New Day has always done something special when they are tag team champions. So it could mean that they win their 15th WWE Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 41.
Predicted Winner: Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods
Rey Mysterio vs El Grande Americano
Rey Mysterio will clash against RAW’s newest luchador, El Grande Americano. The masked luchador has been making waves since his debut a few weeks ago, and many have rumored him to be Chad Gable.
The American high-flying superstar has become popular in recent weeks, and WrestleMania 41 can be the place for a major push. This could mean that El Grande beats a legend like Rey Mysterio to etch an important victory.
Predicted Winner: El Grande Americano
Jade Cargill vs Naomi
The heated tensions between former friends turned rivals, Jade Cargill and Naomi, will reach their boiling point at WrestleMania 41. Cargill is hell bent on exacting revenge on Naomi for attacking her months ago, while Naomi is looking to cement her heel turn in a big way on the big stage.
With her new mean demeanour gaining steam, a victory for Naomi looks to be the right direction to give her the monster push that she has deserved for years in WWE.
Predicted Winner: Naomi
LA Knight vs Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu has proven himself to be an unstoppable force of nature ever since he debuted on SmackDown last year. Fans are slowly getting behind the Samoan Werewolf and WWE can push him to the moon by having him beat LA Knight for the US title, helping him begin his ascension as a major singles star.
Predicted Winner: Jacob Fatu
Tiffany Stratton vs Charlotte Flair
The rivalry between Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton has become extremely personal since The Queen chose Stratton as her opponent for WrestleMania. However, Flair, on most occasions, has gained the edge over The Center of the Universe in their buildup.
From off-script moments to taking down each other, Flair has had more momentum. This could mean that Charlotte would win her 15th World Championship and defeat Tiffany Stratton at the event.
Predicted Winner: Charlotte Flair
Gunther vs Jey Uso
Jey Uso claimed an opportunity of a lifetime when he won the 2025 WWE Royal Rumble match. The YEET man has major fan support behind him, and he has been one of the top attractions for WWE since last year. The promotion has the perfect opportunity to cement Jey Uso as one of their bona fide main event stars at WrestleMania 41.
Moreover, Jey also has a formidable opponent like Gunther. It would be a tough battle, but it is looking to end with Jey Uso having his coronation and becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Predicted Winner: Jey Uso
Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk (with Paul Heyman) vs. Seth Rollins
The blockbuster triple-threat match between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and CM Punk will be the main event of WrestleMania 41 Night 1. To add further intrigue, Paul Heyman will be in the corner of Punk and not his OTC, Reigns.
The complex dynamics could become the opening for the third man, Seth Rollins, to capitalize. Moreover, to have a shocking end, Paul Heyman could betray both Punk and Reigns to help Rollins win and make him the newest ‘Paul Heyman.’
Predicted Winner: Seth Rollins
