With less than a month left until WrestleMania 41 takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, most of the big number matches are already in place for WWE's biggest show of the year, and more are being announced by the day. The main championship matches are in place, while some of the mid-card championship matches in the men's and women's divisions remain up in the air.
ScreenRant will be in Sin City covering the event live, and what better way to kick off our coverage of the biggest show in professional wrestling than by giving some predictions on who might, but should, win their matches on "The Grandest Stage Of Them All."
The original publication featured a prediction for Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens, but this has been removed since the announcement of Owens's legitimate injury.
13 LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu (United States Championship Match)
Winner: Jacob Fatu
Since ing WWE in June 2024, Jacob Fatu has become both one of the fastest rising stars in the company, as well as one of the most over performers, and it's no surprise WWE is starting to put more status on his name. By beating Braun Strowman in a Last Man Standing match on the April 4, 2025 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Fatu earned the right to challenge LA Knight for the United State Championship in Las Vegas.
It seems like the most obvious decision that Fatu will walk out of Sin City with the United States Championship; the only question is how decisive this beating to Knight will be. Knight's second reign has felt very start-and-stop without a clear challenger to face, so giving Fatu a very decisive win may help Knight build up to a program that allows us to see him overcome adversity again to reclaim what's his.
12 The War Raiders vs. The New Day (WWE World Tag Team Championship Match)
Winners: The New Day
The New Day's heel turn was arguably one of the most surprising turns in recent memory, but since the turn itself, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have felt a bit directionless, suffering continuing losses. The War Raiders, back after several injury snags and now the current WWE World Tag Team champions, have a big opportunity to add another loss to the New Day's column at WrestleMania 41.
The War Raiders, having reverted to their more successful NXT variation since Triple H took over, have one of the best presentations in the tag team division, but The New Day desperately need some big win - ANY big win, really - to justify their heinous actions against Big E. The New Day need this win and the championships, not just for relevancy, but to make this turn mean anything at all.
11 Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest
Winner: Drew McIntyre
If nothing else, Drew McIntyre has had a string of bad luck over the past few years: winning his first WWE Championship in an empty warehouse, a 2-3 record since WrestleMania 36, including a win at WrestleMania XL for the World Heavyweight Championship, only to be defeated by Damian Priest and his Money in the Bank contract cash in. McIntyre has a lot to be angry about, and this feud with Priest will come to a head in Las Vegas.
Although he's been one of the top players in WWE over the past year, McIntyre is long overdue for a big win after a series of continual losses, and this feels like the right time to begin his ascent back into the championship picture, especially with a built-in story with potential new World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso. Priest is a formidable contender and, should McIntyre win back the Big Gold 2.0, they can get additional mileage out of this story, and this match will add additional flare to their journey.
10 Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano
Winner: Rey Mysterio
In one of the best matches on the card that is wrapped up in some abject silliness, El Grande Americano (who is definitely not Chad Gable) will face Rey Mysterio after a short build between American Made and the LWO. Gable, who had previously been on a quest to train in the luchador style, is conspicuously absent during these segments, and will again have no place on the WrestleMania card, allegedly.
Mysterio and Gable, we mean Americano, are going to have a banger of a match, as both men are among the best of their peers, and will absolutely give the crowd an exciting performance. Mysterio will pick up the win and, likely, reveal the true identity of this new masked man, setting the stage for more build in the story post-Mania.
9 Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez vs. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria (Women's Tag Team Championship Match)
Winners: Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez
The women's tag team division is finally on the card, as Bayley and the Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria won a five-team gauntlet match on Friday Night SmackDown to make them the number one contenders for Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez's tag team championships. The story build has been a short one, but any match with Bayley is bound to be a very exciting match, and it's great to see at least one of the women's mid-card championships at WrestleMania, even if it's not being defended.
Valkyria would have been better served in a singles match defending her Women's Intercontinental Championship against Bayley or a rematch against Dakota Kai, but at the very least, we'll get a fun tag match that could make her a double champion. However, it feels unlikely that Liv and Raquel will drop them in Sin City, allowing for more build on what feels like a Lyra and Bayley feud for that title.
8 Bron Breakker vs. Penta vs. Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio (Intercontinental Championship Match)
Winner: Dominik Mysterio
After weeks of trading blows and matches that involve all four Superstars, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce announced on social media that Penta, Dominik Mysterio, and Finn Balor would all challenge Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41 in a fatal four way match. The match is sure to be one of, if not the most technical performances on the card, and will be Penta's first WrestleMania appearance.
This match has the potential to be the shocker of the night, as this could certainly go a multitude of ways, but the only one that feels most unlikely is Breakker walking out of Vegas with the belt. While it's possible Penta could go over in his first Mania appearance, it feels long overdue that Dominik Mysterio will capture his first singles championship on the main roster, which will be sure to elicit some incredibly loud boos throughout Sin City.
7 Naomi vs. Jade Cargill
Winner: Naomi
After the return of Jade Cargill at Elimination Chamber in February, she set her sights on her attacker, Naomi, who then stated that she attacked Cargill because she was "holding" Bianca Belair back. Since then, the two have been at each other's throats for weeks, culminating in another brutal assault on Naomi at the hands of Cargill after her match with B-Fab on April 4th, causing General Manager Nick Aldis to officially set the Mania match between the two.
Cargill has been a dominant force since her return and has run rampant over Naomi, but Naomi's recent serious heel turn and the new gimmick change have provided some incredible television in the build-up. In order to solidify this change and her new attitude, it makes most sense to see Naomi take the win over Cargill, and let this feud build up to, hopefully, a championship match between the two at one of the two nights of SummerSlam.
6 AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
Winner: AJ Styles
Since returning from injury, AJ Styles has found himself in the crosshairs of Logan Paul, working to find his place on the Mania card in Sin City. While the story seems to still be building in the direction of grizzled vet vs. young loudmouth, it's clear that Styles and Paul will put on an excellent, high-flying performance that will add another layer to both performers' resumes.
Logan Paul, love him or hate him, has given us some jaw-dropping moments in his WWE career, and a match with Styles in the twilight of his career will still be a clinic. Paul seems pressed to put up a good fight, but we see this one going to The Face That Runs The Place, as this may be one of his last WrestleMania outings.
5 Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk
Winner: Roman Reigns
Woo, what a heat seeker this one's going to be. Three legendary performers at the top of their game, each with such an intricate and deep history among them, a decade in the works. CM Punk, who missed out on his scheduled main event match with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania XL due to injury, is back for blood, but now Roman Reigns is involved, having unfinished business with Rollins and now a potential defection by his Wiseman, Paul Heyman, who owes Punk a mysterious favor after Punk offered his help during 2024's Survivor Series: WarGames to the OG Bloodline at Heyman's behest.
Officially the main event of Night 1, it's hard to call this one as it stands. Punk cashing in his favor from Heyman during this match seems like a waste of a long-term story line here, and while we don't expect that to happen, it's likely that the Tribal Chief will triumph here with a pin to Rollins, finishing that messy Shield business once and for all, while leaving the door open for the Reigns/Punk/Heyman payoff through the summer.
4 Iyo Sky vs. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair (Women's Heavyweight Championship Match)
Winner: Iyo Sky
With her win at Elimination Chamber, Bianca Belair made her way back to championship gold as she initially ws supposed to face Rhea Ripley for the Women's Big Gold, but a shocking win by Iyo Sky for the championship over Ripley shifted the narrative. Ripley found her way into the match, turning it into a triple threat and adding a little extra spice to an already exciting match.
While Belair is a solid choice for the win, having several WrestleMania wins under her belt, it's likely that Sky retains the championship in a hard-fought, high-flying, impressive showdown. Having lost the Women's Championship to Bayley last year, what better way to give Sky her Mania moment than to retain over Belair and Ripley, while continuing the compelling story between her and Ripley, as Ripley has never beaten Sky in any showdown they've had.
