WM41 – It’s a year out – let’s book the biggest WrestleMania ever!
Everything and everyone is on the table. This is just my own opinion – if you would like to book WrestleMania 41, send it in and I’ll post it.
I am writing this before WrestleMania 40, so I am going to guess that Roman Reigns is still the champion. In fact, I’m going to use all the champions as they are now. So, with that in mind, here are the champions;
| Championship | Name |
| Undisputed Universal Champion | Roman Reigns |
| World Heavyweight Champion | Seth Rollins |
| Women’s World Heavyweight Champion | Rhea Ripley |
| WWE Women’s Championship | Iyo Sky |
| Intercontinental Championship | Gunther |
| United States Championship | Logan Paul |
| Tag Team Championships | Finn Balor & Damien Priest |
Location Announcement
It has been revealed that WrestleMania XLI will be held…at Wembley Stadium, London. At today’s press conference, COO HHH, sitting alongside John Cena, announced that WWE will be returning with it’s biggest event since Summerslam 92′.
John Cena, who was advocating for the biggest event in sports entertainment to come to London, expressed his delight and hoped to wrestle at the show.
Royal Rumble 2025
It’s January so that means one thing – Royal Rumble and the start of the road to WrestleMania! This year’s WrestleMania will be held in London at the iconic Wembley Stadium. But before that – who will win the Rumble and book their place in the main event?
Here is the card for the 2025 Royal Rumble;
| Participants | Match |
| 30-woman Royal Rumble Match | Royal Rumble Match |
| Gunther vs Chad Gable | WWE Intercontinental Championship |
| Seth Rollins vs Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn | WWE World Heavyweight Championship |
| 30-man Royal Rumble Match | Royal Rumble Match |
After an exciting Royal Rumble, we now head to WrestleMania. In the first match of the night, Jade Cargill won the women’s rumble match. Gunther defeated Chad Gable in a back and forth match before Seth Rollins retained his title in a triple threat match. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, who started off on the same page, exploded and this cost them – and likely their friendship.
In the main event, the Royal Rumble delivered with lots of twists and turns and surprise debuts/returns. The number 1 entrant was CM Punk and the number 2 entrant was a debuting MJF. The crowd erupted at the sound of his music!
When the buzzer went for the number 3 entrant, we saw Xavier Woods being attacked backstage and a voice saying “I won’t be the scapegoat no more” before a figure appeared at the entrance. It was Jack Perry!! Alongside him were 3 masked men and they ran to the ring, threw Punk over the top rope and then beat the hell out of him!! All four men then dragged Punk to the back.
More surprise entrants were: Sammy Guevara, Kris Statlander, Kevin Nash (unfortunately he did not make it to the ring as he tore his quad on the long walk), Bubba Ray Dudley, D’Von and KSI (who now holds the record for shortest time in the rumble at 0.23 seconds).
The last four men were: MJF, Jey Uso, Brock Lesnar and Cody Rhodes.
The winner: MJF.
The main event of WrestleMania is set – Roman Reigns vs MJF for the Undisputed Universal Championship.

Night One
Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Night 1 kicks off with our World Heavyweight Championship match between Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre. The Scottish psychopath has been on a mission to dethrone Rollins and has been attacking Rollins every week. The match starts off with McIntyre dominating proceedings and wearing Rollins down.
However, Rollins fights back and hits a curb stomp out of nowhere! 1…2…. kick out from McIntyre. Rollins hits another and 1….2…….kick out at the last second. The crowd sense how far McIntyre had to dig in for that kick out and are slightly turning. Rollins is furious that two curb stomps didn’t get the job done. He looks at his championship belt on the outside and has a moment. He then goes outside and grabs it, along with a chair.
The ref grabs the chair from Rollins and whilst he has his back turned, nails McIntyre with the belt. Ref turns back around to count 1……2…..and McIntyre kicks out!! The crowd and Rollins can’t believe it!
Rollins drags McIntyre up to his feet and sticks the middle finger up in front of his face. Big mistake as McIntyre flies past Rollins, off the ropes and returns to deliver a claymore! 1….2…..Rollins kicks out. The crowd are now getting behind McIntyre!
As Rollins slowly gets to his feet, he realises how much danger he’s in and he delivers a shocking low blow to the ref. He then grabs his title belt and nails McIntyre. The crowd are heavily booing and as the ref comes around, Rollins nails a third curb stomp for the 1….2….3!
The crowd boo Rollins out of Wembley Stadium and as McIntyre gets up, the crowd starts to cheer him and he acknowledges their support.
Match length: 30 minutes
The Dudley Boyz vs Kevin Owens & LA Knight in a Tables Match
Since the Royal Rumble, LA Knight has been on a fully-fledged heel turn after Bubba and D’von eliminated him from the Royal Rumble match. Teaming up with Kevin Owens, the challenge was put forward by Knight to the Dudleys – and they accepted on one condition. A tables match!
LA Knight & Kevin Owens worked the majority of the match well together, at points even carrying the older team through some of the spots. One big spot, half way through the match, saw Kevin Owens grab a ladder and climb to the top. Bubba Ray was laid out on a table on the outside of the ring and Owens performed a senton. Surely this is it?! At the last second, Bubba rolls off the table and out of the way.
Back in the ring and to the finish, where Kevin accidently knocks LA Knight out of the ring with the ladder. He looks as he realises his mistake and throws the ladder out of the ring. He turns around and walks straight into a 3-D through the table. The crowd goes wild for the Dudleys in what is their last ever match.
Match length: 20 minutes
The Rock & Stonecold in-ring segment
The two hosts of WrestleMania come to the ring. They both have a bit of banter and mention their past battles in the main events of previous WrestleMania.
It gets a bit awkward and tense when Austin brings up WrestleMania 17 and how he walked out champion. Rock also remembers how the Raw after that WrestleMania went down and said he owes Austin one. Austin asks Rock if he would like to go for it now?
The two square up, face-to-face, nose-to-nose…..and then embrace with a big hug and laugh. They play up to the crowd and say it is all behind them and they are done in the ring as competitors, but as hosts they are the greatest and that’s the bottom line, if ya smell what Rock and Austin are cookin.
As they are leaving and walking up the ramp, CM Punk’s music hits. The crowd go absolutely nuts! As Punk is making his entrance, he walks directly past Austin and the two have a moment and exchange a couple of words.
Is this setting up a future feud?
Promo length: 20 minutes

Punk vs Perry has been building up for well over a year now and has a huge backstory. Perry blaming Punk for getting fired from AEW and Punk just hating Perry for what he did when punk was in AEW.
Punk proceeds to destroy Perry, but Jack does get some offense in and the two have a very respectable match. You can feel there is real tension between the two.
The objective is to throw your opponent through a real pain of glass.
The finish comes when 3 masked men, run out and smash Punk through the glass. Blood is flowing out of Punk and he is down and out.
The three masked men pull off their masks to reveal themselves…Killswitch, Austin Theory and Wardlow!! A new faction is here in the WWE and they won’t stop until they are no longer the scapegoats!

Logan Paul vs Sammy Guevara for the United States Championship
In a match between two high-fliers, this should be a cracker! Logan Paul descends from the top of the Wembley arch for his entrance, in what is being described as the most daring and incredible entrance ever seen! Sammy walks down the aisle for his entrance.
The match kicks off night two of WrestleMania 41 and both are showing their athletic prowess. High flips and superkicks galore to start off the match.
Five minutes in and there is no splitting these two at the moment. Both stare at each other in the middle of the ring as the crowd shows their appreciation. Then they both roll out of opposite sides of the ring and pull out ladders!
In a WrestleMania moment, Logan jumps from one ladder to another, but Sammy catches Logan mid-air and turns it into a cutter from the top of the ladder. It’s a long way down and both men crash to the floor. Incredible and the crowd are on their feet again!

MJF makes his way to the ring and watches Reigns enter with the Undisputed Universal Championship.
20 minutes later and the bell rings! Roman Reigns and MJF have been feuding since MJF’s huge Royal Rumble win back in January. MJF has been hot on the mic and is a huge fan favourite at the moment. Reigns has drastically improved on the mic and has played his part in building this feud.
The two go through their moves, each trying to outdo the other. Reigns takes time to taunt the crowd and MJF takes time to play to the crowd and take in the cheers.
Reigns hits a spear! Then waits for MJF to get up and hits another huge spear! 1……2………..kick out!! The crowd are stunned and MJF looks like he has taken everything. Reigns goes back into the corner and waits for MJF to get up. He’s setting up for a third spear. MJF gets to his feet and turns around. Reigns runs towards him and goes for a final, devastating spear. At the last second, MJF hits Reigns and he falls to the mat.
1….2…..3!! We have a new Undisputed Universal Champion!! MJF celebrates in the middle of Wembley Stadium and the fireworks are going off, across the Wembley arch.
Replays are showing that MJF pulled something out of his trunks and put it on his finger before his devastating punch to Reigns. What was it? This does explain why Reigns went down so hard and couldn’t kick out!
The commentators speculate as WrestleMania 41 goes off the air.
Match length: 42 minutes.
