WWE WrestleMania 41 Night Two preview and predictions
It's WWE's biggest weekend of the year as they take over Las Vegas for WrestleMania 41, the company's grandest stage of them all.
The event is spread across two nights at the Allegiant Stadium and features two stacked cards, with the second night headlined by the Undisputed WWE Championship showdown between Cody Rhodes and John Cena.
DAZN News breaks down the card and makes predictions for WrestleMania Sunday.
Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs Bayley and Lyra Valkyria
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships
It’s slightly disappointing that neither of the two new women’s mid-card belts have failed to make it onto the WrestleMania card, but at least we’ll see the Intercontinental Champion in action in this tag bout.
The thrown-together team of champ Valkyria and Bayely feels like a bit of an excuse to get them on the card, so it’s hard to see them dethroning the established tandem of Morgan and Rodriguez, especially given the year that Liv has had at the forefront of all things Monday night.
Winners: Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
AJ Styles vs Logan Paul
The standard WrestleMania marquee match for ‘The Maverick’ sees Paul face AJ Styles in Las Vegas this weekend.
The build for this showdown hasn’t been the most interesting, with Logan playing up to his natural heat against the veteran Styles, who’s out to add to his WrestleMania collection – but little else to add to the story.
Given both men’s athletic style, there’s no doubt that it will be a banger between the ropes and could steal the show, but it’s one that Styles should win and move on to something bigger as he begins to wind down his illustrious career.
Winner: AJ Styles
Bron Breakker vs Penta vs Finn Balor vs Dominik Mysterio
WWE Intercontinental Championship
It’s a first-ever four-way for one of WWE’s most iconic straps, and the story between the four men has been built well to this crescendo.
The explosive Breakker seems destined to move up the card, which feels like there could be a title change here, and despite the impressive debut weeks of Penta, it will most likely go to one of the Judgement Day members.
And, perhaps the most intriguing way would be for Mysterio to pin Balor and heighten up the obvious tension that’s been in a stable that feels like it’s on its last innings.
Winner: Dominik Mysterio
WWE
Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre
Sin City Streetfight
This wasn’t the match that many fans wanted to see McIntyre in after the standout year the Scotsman has had, but WWE have done well to build up the feud in recent weeks.
They lucked out in seemingly un-invertedly building the story between the pair from last year’s WrestleMania cash-in, but it’s worked a treat in giving the bout some real backbone - and the streetfight element will make an-all out brawl across the stadium.
As for a winner, it would be a big shock if Priest went over because it feels like the time to pull the trigger on a lengthy title run for McIntyre, and that begins by him getting the W in Vegas.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
Iyo Sky vs Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley
WWE Women’s World Heavyweight Championship
The journey to get to the triple-threat format for this match felt a little clumpy, with Ripley just being allowed into the bout in the end, but you can’t have a WrestleMania without Mami.
There’s high hopes that this could be one of the best women’s matches we’ve seen on this stage, given the talent involved and there’s a legitimate argument for any of the three to take home the gold.
Yet, it feels like Belair’s time once again. For far too long, WWE’s EST has been away from the world title scene, and as WrestleMania has become her playground over the years, so this could be another big win to add to her catalogue on the grandest stage of them all.
Winner: Bianca Belair
Cody Rhodes vs John Cena
Undisputed WWE Championship
WrestleMania weekend ends with this huge Undisputed WWE title match pitting the current champion and WWE’s QB1, Cody Rhodes, against the legend that is John Cena, who’s looking to win a record-breaking 17th world title.
Of course, the twist in the tale between these two, was Cena’s earth-shattering turn to the dark side at March’s Elimination Chamber as he sold his soul to the Rock and turned his back on the fans for the first time in two decades.
The follow-up hasn’t been as strong. Cena’s promos have been sensational in delivery but lack real substance to what has actually happened, while we’ve yet to hear from the Final Boss since that moment in Toronto.
On the night, there’s no doubt it will have a big-match feel, and could well go on to be a WrestleMania classic.
Yet, for Cena to really cement his new persona it feels like he has to win the gold and become the company’s ‘last real world champion’ with some help from The Rock as the pair double down on their alliance and screw the American Nightmare once again.
Winner: John Cena
