WrestleMania 41

WrestleMania 41, also promoted as WrestleMania Vegas, was a 2025 professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was the 41st annual WrestleMania and took place as a two-night event on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This was the second WrestleMania to take place in the Las Vegas Valley, after WrestleMania IX in 1993, which was held at Caesars Palace. This was the first WrestleMania to livestream on Netflix in most international markets as the platform began a 10-year rights deal with WWE in January 2025 as well as the last WrestleMania to livestream on Peacock in the United States as ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming service will begin a five-year rights deal with WWE, starting with Wrestlepalooza in September 2025. This was the first WrestleMania held during Easter weekend and the first WrestleMania to feature a match with CM Punk since WrestleMania 29 in 2013, which included the first WrestleMania main event of his career. The event also featured John Cena's final WrestleMania match due to his retirement from professional wrestling at the end of 2025. Its calendar date of April 19–20 is the latest that a WrestleMania has been held. The card comprised a total of 14 matches, evenly divided between each night. In the main event on Night 1, which was a cross-promotional match, Raw's Seth Rollins defeated Raw's CM Punk and SmackDown's Roman Reigns in a triple threat match, which saw Paul Heyman turn on both Punk and Reigns to side with Rollins. In other prominent matches, Jacob Fatu defeated LA Knight to win SmackDown's WWE United States Championship, Tiffany Stratton defeated Charlotte Flair to retain SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship, and in the opening bout, Jey Uso defeated Gunther by submission to win Raw's World Heavyweight Championship. In the main event on Night 2, John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to win SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship, marking his record 17th WWE world championship. In other prominent matches, Dominik Mysterio defeated previous champion Bron Breakker, Finn Bálor, and Penta in a fatal four-way match to win Raw's WWE Intercontinental Championship, Drew McIntyre defeated Damian Priest in a Sin City Street Fight, Logan Paul defeated AJ Styles, and in the opening bout, which was a cross-promotional match, Raw's Iyo Sky defeated SmackDown's Bianca Belair and Raw's Rhea Ripley in a triple threat match to retain Raw's Women's World Championship. The second night of the event was notable for appearances by rapper Travis Scott and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)'s Joe Hendry, as well as the return of Becky Lynch, who had been on hiatus since May 2024. The event received mixed to positive reviews, with the Night 1 main event and the Women's World Championship match being singled out for acclaim, whilst the World Heavyweight Championship match, the Sin City Street Fight, the Intercontinental Championship match, AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul, and the United States Championship match also garnered positive reviews. Criticism was directed mainly towards the Night 2 main event, with its finish in particular being described as "anti-climactic" by many fans and critics.
