Breaking Down WrestleMania 41's Main Event

The WrestleMania 41 card is absolutely stacked with talent, but all eyes are on the Night 2 main event between undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes and newly-heel challenger John Cena.

With the backdrop of Las Vegas, the entrances for both men will be grandiose. Rhodes already boasts a gaudy entrance spectacle, but the WrestleMania platform should take it to epic levels.

The same can be said for Cena as his entrance.

Once the two men finally enter the ring, wrestling fans should expect an epic stare down, like the one between Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania X8 or Johnson and Cena at WrestleMania 29.

After soaking in the crowd's reactions, the men will look horns in a traditional wrestling match, focusing on classic storytelling and building momentum. The egos associated with both men mean this portion of the bout will go on for too long for the lack of elite in-ring ability involved.

At some point, Rhodes will gain momentum and begin closing in on a victory. That's when The Rock returns to WWE programming and makes his grand WrestleMania entrance, coming to ringside to voice his support for Cena.

Johnson won't be able to stand on the sidelines for long without stealing the spotlight, but as soon as he gets physically involved, Roman Reigns and his advocate, Paul Heyman, will make their way to the ring to even the odds.

As Cena and Rhodes lay sprawled in the ring, The Rock and Reigns should have their own staredown, setting the stage for their epic encounter at WrestleMania 42. Before the two men get physical, though, Drew McIntyre should come through the crowd and attack Reigns.

Once Reigns is disposed of, McIntyre can brutally attack Rhodes, leaving him decimated in the ring. The Rock will call on McIntyre to exit the ring as Cena comes to his feet, setting the table for the future Hall of Famer to win his 17th championship.

Following the match, Cena, The Rock and McIntyre will stand tall in the ring as the camera pans to a distraught Rhodes. With Reigns also walking away disappointed, the win for Cena not only creates a memorable moment, but it also sets the stage for the build to WrestleMania 42.
