WrestleVotes reported that the announced matches for WrestleMania 41 have been assigned their respective nights.

Flair will challenge Stratton, Uso will challenge Gunther, Orton will battle Owens, and Punk, Rollins, and Reigns will headline in a Triple Threat Match on Saturday.

Sunday will see Belair vs. Sky vs. Rhea Ripley (not yet officially added), Styles take on Paul, and Rhodes defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cena.

While the night on which any match appears is subject to change, it would appear on paper that the Saturday's card is of higher quality, but with the two highest-profile title matches taking place one night later.

Based on last year's format, in which each show carried seven matches, one would have to believe WWE Creative will work overtime the next two weeks to add matches and fill out the cards.

The Bulgarian Brute Is Back?

Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com reported that former WWE United States champion Rusev was spotted at the company's headquarters in Connecticut and has re-signed with the company.

Though he is unlikely to find his way onto the WrestleMania card at this late stage in the game, it would not be surprising to see The Bulgarian Brute make an appearance at the extravaganza to kick off whatever creative plans management has for him.

At the very least, a return on the Raw After WrestleMania is a possibility.

A former three-time US champion in WWE, Rusev was released in 2020 as part of the plethora of firings that took place during that year. He quickly signed with All Elite Wrestling and competed as Miro. Injuries and creative disagreements led to sporadic appearances and frustrations on both sides.

He was recently granted his release, making a reunion with his former employer a possibility.

Triple H oversaw NXT at the time that Rusev rose to prominence there before making the jump to the main roster, so it will be interesting to see how the current Chief Content Officer utilizes him upon his return and if he gets a sustained upper-card push out of it.

The report did note that his wife CJ Perry, known to WWE fans as Lana, was not in Connecticut with him.
