WWE WrestleMania 41 Match Order Predictions for Saturday and Sunday Cards

The order of any WWE card can ultimately determine its success.

An electric opener, a blockbuster main event often, and the perfect mix in between often make for the best and most effective cards.

WWE Chief Contest Officer Triple H has done a remarkable job of building such cards and ahead of WrestleMania 41 on April 19 and 20 from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, will look to do so again.

Ahead of the show, enjoy these predictions for the match order on Saturday and Sunday's cards.

1. World Heavyweight Championship Match: Jey Uso vs. Gunther

If Uso and Gunther are not going to headline Saturday's card, which we know they are not, what better way to still leave a lasting impression than by having them kick off this year's festivities? Uso presumably wins his first world championship in a strong opener, fans have a monumental moment to buzz about right out of the gate, and WWE gets the most important event of its year off to a hot start.

2. World Tag Team Championship Match: The War Raiders vs. The New Day

What should be a solid tag team title match between two teams who know each other well continues the action. New Day should be the favorites to win here and take the titles, but regardless, the action should be good enough to keep this one from becoming the dreaded "cool down" match, even if the beef between the teams in relatively one-dimensional.

3. Jade Cargill vs. Naomi

Cargill's revenge tour stops at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas as she squares off with former friend turned for Naomi, who cost her months off her career after shoving her from a platform and through a car windshield. This could be one of the more emotionally charged matches on the card and a defining moment in both competitors' careers.

4. Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano

Arguably the potentially most fun match on the card will see the culmination of the Mysterio vs. Chad Gable feud that has eaten up a considerable amount of TV time for months now. With two great in-ring competitors involved, this has the potential to be a show-stealer.

5. WWE Women's Championship Match: Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair

A suddenly red-hot match resulting from off-script promos, Stratton vs. Flair feels like the first chapter in a rivalry rather than the culmination of a months-long story. Challenger Flair won the 2025 Royal Rumble, has been in the highest-profile matches, and defeated the top stars in the industry. Stratton is in the infancy of her major push as one of the faces of the future.

6. United States Championship Match: LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu

Knight is one of the most popular stars in the company and essentially bulletproof at this point in his WWE career. The reigning United States champion, he enters the match after what feels like an eternity of feuding with The Bloodline. This really, though, is about Fatu and his rapid ascension since joining the company. This should be his coronation.

Saturday Main Event: CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns

For the first time in his Hall of Fame-worthy career, CM Punk will compete in the main event of WrestleMania when he battles Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns in a Triple Threat Match to cap off Saturday night.

Punk has been engaged in a rivalry with Rollins since returning to WWE in November of 2023 and his issues with Reigns, at least on-screen, dates back to this year's Survivor Series where he agreed to team with The Tribal Chief and the OG Bloodline in exchange for a favor.

That favor? Paul Heyman is in Punk's corner for the WrestleMania main event.

With the Wise Man supporting his friend and not his Tribal Chief, what impact might he have on the match? Can Rollins, the MVP of last year's show and the one guy capable of playing mind games with Reigns to great success, emerge victoriously?

And what is he looking for in return for sparing Heyman a stomp Monday night on Raw?

The main event has layers and should be a dynamic contest deserving of the spot on the card.

1. Triple Threat Match for the Women's World Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair

Three of the top stars in WWE kicking off the show in a match that could have been a legitimate main event contender any other year, this three way dance has the possibility to steal all of WrestleMania and immediately rank as one of the best women's matches in the show's four decades.

2. Fatal 4-Way Match for the Intercontinental Championship: Penta vs. Bron Breakker vs. Dominik Mysterio vs. Finn Bálor

Penta and Breakker will bring unbridled energy to the match but this one will be as much about Mysterio and Bálor, and the gradual destruction of The Judgment Day. Expect their individual desire to win the Intercontinental Championship to supersede their willingness to work together for the better of the group.

3. AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul

Two elite athletes squaring off on the grandest stage in professional wrestling. There is minimal story to this one but Styles will compete in his ninth WrestleMania, eighth in singles competition, and Paul has routinely proven to be one of the best big-match performers in the company.

4. Sin City Street Fight: Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre

At last year's WrestleMania, Damian Priest cashed in Money in the Bank on Drew McIntyre, ending The Scottish Warrior's World Heavyweight Championship reign after just five minutes. He would capitalize on interference from CM Punk later that year at Clash at the Castle and defeated McIntyre to successfully retain his title. The new year brought an elimination in the Royal Rumble and Priest pinning McIntyre to reintroduce a feud that has intensified and conclude on the grand stage.

5. Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez are arguably the greatest women's tag team in WWE history, with three title reigns to their names. Bayley and Valkyria were literally opponents Monday night on Raw and won a gauntlet match Friday night to earn their way to WrestleMania. There is not an abundance of story here but there is potential for a fun match if given an appropriate amount of time.

Sunday Main Event: Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena

John Cena's heel turn at Elimination Chamber on March 1 shocked the wrestling world. For well over 20 years, he was a hero to millions of fans but, amid an in-ring career that had not seen a big win in a long time, he first capitalized on interference from Seth Rollins to beat CM Punk inside the chamber, then sold his soul to The Rock in return for a 17th world title.

Getting it would not be easy.

Rhodes is a fighter and proved it two WrestleManias in a row, answering a crushing defeat in 2023 with the biggest win of his career. The babyface who supplanted Cena as this generation's No. 1 good guy, he has a chance to prevent the turncoat from achieving his history-making title reign.
