It’s that time of the year again—when the WWE Universe gears up for the world’s biggest wrestling spectacle! That’s right, the Road to WrestleMania 41 is officially underway, and this year, it’s heading to the bright lights of Las Vegas, Nevada. WWE is bringing its grandest event back to “Sin City” for the first time in over three decades, and the anticipation is off the charts.
With last year’s WrestleMania 40 giving us some of the most unforgettable moments in WWE history—from Cody Rhodes’ epic title win to The Final Boss solidifying his dominance—it will be a tall order to top. But with a fresh lineup of battles, shocking twists, and a historic first-time-ever streaming deal with Netflix, WrestleMania 41 is shaping up to be another all-timer.
So here is everything you need to know, from dates and location to where you can catch all the action live, the official match card, and the fresh faces set to make their grand debut on the biggest stage in sports entertainment.
Where and when will WrestleMania 41 take place?
Mark your calendars because WrestleMania 41 is happening on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025 (via WWE‘s official event page). This makes it the latest WrestleMania in history, pushing beyond the usual early-April slot. WWE has been hosting WrestleMania as a two-night event since 2020, and given its massive success, that format is here to stay.
This year’s extravaganza will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, right outside of Las Vegas. The 71,000+ seat stadium, home to the Las Vegas Raiders, is no stranger to hosting high-profile events, having previously welcomed Super Bowl LVIII, major concerts, and even WWE’s SummerSlam 2021. Unlike last year’s frigid WrestleMania 40 or WrestleMania 37’s unexpected rain delay, the fully enclosed Allegiant Stadium ensures perfect conditions for the Super Bowl of wrestling.
With Las Vegas known for its high-energy entertainment, dazzling nightlife, and larger-than-life atmosphere, the city is the perfect backdrop for WrestleMania 41. Expect a weekend filled with over-the-top entrances, celebrity appearances, and unforgettable moments that will add to the legacy of WWE’s grandest show.
Where will you be able to watch WrestleMania 41 live?
For wrestling fans worldwide, the way we watch WrestleMania is evolving. If you’re in the United States, you can stream WrestleMania 41 exclusively on Peacock, just as WWE premium live events (PLEs) have been available since 2021. Fans in American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands will also have access through Peacock.
However, for the rest of the world, WrestleMania is going to Netflix for the first time ever! Yes, you read that right. With the WWE Network no longer available as a standalone service, Netflix will now be the home for WWE PLEs in countries like the United Kingdom, Australia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and many more.
This is a historic moment in WWE’s partnership with Netflix, making WrestleMania 41 the first to stream live on the world’s biggest streaming platform in most regions. So, whether you’re in London, Sydney, or Mexico City, all you need is a Netflix subscription to catch all the action live. For fans in the U.S., though, Peacock remains the go-to platform.
How many matches are official till now?
As of now, WWE has locked in four massive matches for WrestleMania 41, and each one has the potential to steal the show. Here’s a look at what’s confirmed so far:
Cody Rhodes will fight against John Cena for the WWE Championship Match. The moment we never thought we’d see—John Cena has turned heel, and it’s all because of The Rock. After failing to win the Royal Rumble, Cena clawed his way back into the title picture by winning the Men’s Elimination Chamber. However, the big shock came right after when Cena embraced Cody Rhodes—only to blindside him after receiving a signal from The Rock!
Cena’s desperate to break Ric Flair’s record for most world titles, and with time running out on his legendary career, he’s decided to align with an old enemy to make it happen. With The Rock in his corner, Cena is looking to dethrone Cody and claim his 17th world championship. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and this battle has all the makings of an instant classic.
Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair will take place in the Women’s World Championship Match. This year’s Women’s Elimination Chamber match delivered a shocking outcome, as Bianca Belair outlasted the competition, even after watching her best friends battle it out inside the pods. Just when fans thought Belair would be facing Rhea Ripley, WWE threw a curveball—Iyo Sky defeated Ripley just two nights after Elimination Chamber, snatching the title.
Now, it’s Iyo Sky vs. Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 41, and this match has all the ingredients of a show-stealer. Given Belair’s history of winning big at WrestleMania, she’s the favorite to reclaim the gold, but Sky won’t go down without a fight.
Tiffany Stratton will fight Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women’s Championship Match. After a year away recovering from injuries, Charlotte Flair made a triumphant return by winning the Women’s Royal Rumble and setting her sights on the reigning WWE Women’s Champion, Tiffany Stratton.
Stratton has been a breakout star in WWE, but this is The Queen’s domain. Will she capture her 15th world title, or will WWE use this moment to solidify Stratton as the next big thing?
Gunther will fight against Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship Match. Jey Uso shocked the world by winning the Men’s Royal Rumble, proving that he doesn’t need The Bloodline to be a main-event player. He’s set his sights on Gunther, the dominant World Heavyweight Champion, in what is sure to be a hard-hitting battle.
This has the makings of a classic underdog vs. unstoppable force showdown, and if Jey pulls off the win, expect the crowd to erupt in one of the loudest WrestleMania moments ever.
How many debutants will WrestleMania 41 have?
WrestleMania 41 is shaping up to be a massive event, and one exciting aspect of it is the number of fresh faces expected to debut on WWE’s grandest stage. This year, a total of nine debutants are rumored to step into the spotlight, each with the potential to make an impact.
One of the biggest names in the discussion is Fenix. With his brother Penta already making waves as a singles competitor, many expect Fenix to follow him to WWE. However, given how packed the WrestleMania card already is, finding the perfect moment for his debut might be a challenge. That said, if he were to appear at the event, a dramatic entrance during Penta’s match would be a memorable way to introduce him to the WWE Universe.
Another major story heading into WrestleMania revolves around Jade Cargill. She recently returned to the Elimination Chamber, taking down Naomi, who appeared to be revealed as her mystery attacker. There’s still a lot of speculation about the attack—whether Naomi acted alone or had help from Bianca Belair or others. This ongoing feud could be the perfect opportunity to introduce Lash and Jakarta to the main roster. If they align with Naomi in a new faction, it would make for an explosive debut at WrestleMania.
The Bloodline saga continues to be one of the most talked-about stories in WWE, and WrestleMania 41 could see the introduction of new family members into the mix. With Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu rumored to face off at the event, there’s a strong possibility that one or more fresh faces will appear to support either side. Two potential debutants are Hikuleo and Lance Anoa’i, both of whom are training at the WWE Performance Center. Their involvement in the Bloodline’s WrestleMania storyline would make for a seamless introduction to the main roster.
Another name generating buzz is Femi, the current NXT Champion. WWE sees him as a future main-event star, and what better place to make a statement than at WrestleMania? Whether he gets involved in a match or makes his presence known dramatically, his debut is expected to be a major moment for fans who haven’t followed his rise in NXT.
One of the more unexpected names linked to WrestleMania is Joe Hendry, the reigning TNA World Champion. His contract with TNA is reportedly set to expire later this year, and WWE has a keen interest in signing him. Hendry has hinted at a dream match against John Cena, who is currently on his retirement tour. If that match is in the works for later this year, then a surprise WrestleMania appearance would be the perfect way to introduce him to the WWE audience.
Then there’s Giulia, a top name from the women’s division. Her current title match has been moved up, which has led to speculation that she could be heading to the main roster soon. If she does debut at WrestleMania, it will be a huge moment for the women’s division.
Finally, the most unexpected potential debut might belong to none other than rapper Travis Scott. He was seen alongside The Rock and John Cena at the Elimination Chamber, leaving many fans wondering about his role. Reports suggest he has been training for an in-ring appearance, meaning his WrestleMania moment could be sooner than expected.
