With WWE WrestleMania XL just around the corner, the company’s plans for its top stars are slowly unfolding.
Currently, four matches are confirmed for the event. Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Cody Rhodes, the winner of the 2024 Men’s Royal Rumble.
Seth Rollins is set to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre, the victor of the 2024 Men’s Elimination Chamber.

Additionally, Becky Lynch will challenge Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship, while IYO SKY will defend her WWE Women’s Championship against Bayley.
However, one lingering question among fans is what role Randy Orton will play at WrestleMania.
Orton made a dramatic return to WWE programming at Survivor Series: WarGames last November after recovering from a back injury that had kept him sidelined since May 2022.
He recently competed in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match, losing after an interference from United States Champion Logan Paul.
There’s speculation that WWE is considering a title match between Orton and Paul at WrestleMania. However, with Paul also feuding with Kevin Owens, it’s possible that Owens may also seek a match against Paul at the event in Philadelphia.
One potential scenario could see Orton and Owens facing off on Night One of WrestleMania for a shot at Logan Paul’s United States Championship.
The winner could then challenge Paul in a singles match on Night Two.
Alternatively, WWE may opt for a Triple-Threat match for the United States Championship to involve more talent on the card and to alleviate concerns about Orton’s recent return from injury.
Meanwhile, Logan Paul has been hinting at a showdown with Randy Orton at WrestleMania, suggesting that their clash will be a significant moment in his wrestling career.
His absence from SmackDown last week may indicate that he’s preparing for the highly anticipated match with Orton.
