WrestleVotes has revealed Night 1 & 2 matches for WrestleMania 41:
Night 1
– Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
– WWE Women’s Championship Match: Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
– World Heavyweight Championship Match: Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso
– Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins [Main Event]
Night 2
– AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
– Triple Threat Match For The Women’s World Championship: IYO SKY (c) vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley
– Undisputed WWE Championship Match: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. John Cena [Main Event]
It should be noted that this isn’t the final match-card for the show. More matches are scheduled to be announced, like Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest, Bron Breakker vs. Penta vs. Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Championship, Solo Sikoa vs. Jacob Fatu, WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match & more.
With both main events now confirmed, this WrestleMania will be the first since 2018 in which neither Royal Rumble winner will headline, leaving this year’s winners, Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair, in an interesting spot.
The last time neither Rumble winner headlined the biggest show of the year was at WrestleMania 34, where Men’s Royal Rumble winner Shinsuke Nakamura challenged AJ Styles for the WWE Championship, and Women’s Royal Rumble winner Asuka challenged Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship (now Women’s World Championship).
Scary Randy Orton Stat Heading Into WrestleMania 41
At WrestleMania 41, Randy Orton and Kevin Owens will collide in a grudge match that will serve as the culmination of a feud that has been brewing since the 2024 Crown Jewel PLE.
The feud began when Orton sided with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, whom Owens accused of betraying him. Then on the November 8th episode of SmackDown, Owens dropped Orton on his head with a Piledriver, leaving The Viper out of action until the Elimination Chamber PLE on March 1st, where Orton returned and took out Owens following his Unsanctioned Match against Sami Zayn.
In a rather surprising statistic, Orton hasn’t won a single PLE match since his return at Survivor Series 2023.
Orton lost a Fatal 4-Way match for the Undisputed WWE Championship at Royal Rumble 2024, which also involved AJ Styles, LA Knight, and then-champion Roman Reigns, followed by losing the titular match at Elimination Chamber: Perth.
He also lost the United States Championship triple threat match involving Kevin Owens and Logan Paul at WrestleMania 40; a tag team Street Fight at Backlash: France, where he teamed with Owens in a loss to the Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga.
A loss to Gunther in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament at King & Queen of the Ring in Saudi Arabia, a six-man tag team match at Money In The Bank where he teamed with Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens in a loss to Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga, and a loss to Gunther in the main event of Bash In Berlin, which was contested for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Only time will tell if this unfortunate streak continues, or if Orton will return to his winning ways.
