WWE WrestleMania 41 Star Ratings Predictions for Every Match on the Card

There is a certain obsession among die-hard wrestling fans today with grading pro wrestling matches with star ratings, as if one person's opinion of any given contest is somehow the be-all, end-all determination of a match's success.

Still, like any great movie or record, the performance art is subject to feedback, positive, negative, or defined by asterisks.

Ahead of WrestleMania 41 and two nights of WWE's annual Showcase of the Immortals, these are the predicted star ratings for each match on the card, including Saturday and Sunday's respective main events.

WrestleMania Saturday Main Event Star Prediction

CM Punk, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns will bring their multi-layered storyline to a head in the main event of WrestleMania Saturday when they clash in a Triple Threat Match.

Three era-defining Superstars with a penchant for saving some of their best performances for the biggest stage, it will be interesting to see if the heavy story elements, coupled with the sometimes cumbersome layout of the three-way dance, hampers what they attempt to do between the ropes.

The show of shows has been home to some extraordinary Triple Threat Matches over its four decades, including the main event of the 2004 show that saw Chris Benoit best Shawn Michaels and Triple H, and the headliner of WrestleMania Sunday in 2021, when Roman Reigns stacked and pinned Edge and Daniel Bryan to retain his Universal Championship.

If there were three guys WWE would want to put in a match of this type and magnitude, to headline night one of the biggest show of the year, it is Punk, Rollins, and Reigns.

With Punk determined to show out in his first WrestleMania main event, and both Reigns and Rollins likely believing they should be competing in Sunday's marquee bout, expect a match that is equal parts dramatic and action-packed, with Paul Heyman heavily factoring into the finish.

Prediction: ****1/2

Women's Tag Team Championship Match: Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez (Prediction: ***)

Sin City Street Fight: Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre (Prediction: ****)

Triple Threat Match for the Women's World Championship: Rhea Ripley vs. Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair (Prediction: ***1/2)

WrestleMania Sunday Main Event Star Prediction

There is one enormous question surrounding Sunday's main event: can John Cena hang with Cody Rhodes?

The 16-time world champion is historically great on the grand stage but he is older than he was when he was tearing it up against Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Batista, and The Rock. He has also been heavily protected in the two matches he has wrestled this year, the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, where he did not have to do a ton of heavy lifting.

Throw in a WrestleMania 39 match in which the best wrestler in the ring was Austin Theory and it is fair to question whether the Cena we get in Las Vegas can turn back the clock and in his final match on the grand stage, remind the wrestling world why he is one of the best to ever lace a pair of Reebok Pumps.

Fresh off a heel turn, in his final WrestleMania match, against the "quarterback" of WWE, the answer should be an emphatic "yes."

Cena and Rhodes are going to have a fight, probably lean on the brawling side of things as the challenger seeks to get over his new, more aggressive heel work inside the squared circle, and will bring the drama late.

Expect interference of some sort, either by The Rock, Travis Scott, or someone else who will align themselves with Cena moving forward, but the contest should keep fans utterly enthralled.

A sports-entertainment heavy match, it should fit right in with the other epic encounters that have helped to define WrestleMania over the years.
