WrestleMania 41 is still nearly a year away, but the recent announcement of the dates and venue has already sent fans into a frenzy. The Showcase of The Immortals is set to emanate live from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 19th and 20th next year, and speculation about the premium live event is already running wild. As the WWE universe eagerly awaits the biggest event of the year, we take a look at some early predictions for WrestleMania 41.
One of the most intriguing possibilities is the return of Brock Lesnar, who was recently rumored to be making a comeback to the WWE. If true, Lesnar’s return could set the stage for a highly anticipated grudge match against Bobby Lashley, with whom he has unfinished business. Their rivalry was abruptly cut short at Elimination Chamber 2023, and a potential rematch at WrestleMania 41 would be a huge draw.
Another potential main event could feature CM Punk, who has long dreamed of main eventing WrestleMania. With Damian Priest currently holding the World Heavyweight Championship, it’s possible that Drew McIntyre could dethrone him at SummerSlam 2024, setting up a massive showdown between McIntyre and Punk at WrestleMania 41. Punk’s journey to the top could be reminiscent of Cody Rhodes’ build-up to WrestleMania 39, and a victory over McIntyre would be the perfect culmination of his journey.
Seth Rollins, who played a crucial role in Cody Rhodes’ triumph over Roman Reigns, could find himself in the crosshairs of The Tribal Chief. Reigns may return seeking revenge, and a clash between the two at WrestleMania 41 would be a mouth-watering prospect. Given Reigns’ recent dominance, it’s hard to bet against him demolishing Rollins in their potential encounter.
Finally, Gunther’s recent loss of the Intercontinental Title notwithstanding, the WWE could be grooming him for a main event push. A string of impressive victories could propel him into the Royal Rumble, which he could win before dethroning Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 41. The Ring General’s rise to the top would be a compelling storyline to follow in the coming months.
While it’s early days yet, one thing is certain – WrestleMania 41 is shaping up to be an unmissable event. With the WWE’s penchant for surprises and twists, the possibilities are endless, and fans can’t wait to see how the road to WrestleMania 41 unfolds.
