During tonight’s (Apr. 11) episode of SmackDown, WWE took some time late in the show to reveal the official card for both nights of WrestleMania 41 next weekend at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Check it out for yourself:
Night One, Sat., April 19
- Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk (w/ Paul Heyman) vs. Seth Rollins
- Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair for the WWE Women’s championship
- Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso for the WWE World Heavyweight championship
- LA Knight (c) vs. Jacob Fatu for the United States title
- Jade Cargill vs. Naomi
- Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande Americano
- The War Raiders (Ivar & Erik) (c) vs. The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) for the WWE World Tag Team championship
Night Two, Sun., April 20
- Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena for the Undisputed WWE title
- IYO SKY (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s World title
- Bron Breakker (c) vs. Penta vs. Finn Bálor vs. Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental championship
- Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. Bayley & Lyra Valkyria for the WWE Women’s tag team titles
- Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre in a Sin City Street Fight
- AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
The actual WrestleMania 41 card matches up quite well with the rumored card from earlier today, with one glaring exception. The rumored card has “Randy Orton vs. TBD” listed for Sunday, whereas WWE’s card does not include The Viper at all.
For what it’s worth, there was an angle on SmackDown where Orton threatened GM Nick Aldis about something awful happening to him if he doesn’t book Orton in a match at ‘Mania. Randy wants it bad, especially since it would be his 20th career match on the big stage. Solo Sikoa got involved in Randy’s business after that, so I have a feeling WWE will soon announce Orton vs. Sikoa for WrestleMania Sunday, which is currently one match short of the Saturday card.
Which night of WrestleMania 41 has the better lineup? Let me know in the comments below, Cagesiders.
