While WWE has already confirmed which matches will close each night of WrestleMania 41, they don’t know how they will open.
On tap for the first night of WrestleMania is Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk in the main event. For night 2, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena is the main event.
During the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon, it was noted that current plans call for the first night to open with WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER vs. Jey Uso and the second night will open with WWE Women’s World Champion IYO SKY vs. Bianca Belair vs. Rhea Ripley.
“As of this past Monday on Raw…..the currently penciled-in opening matches for WrestleMania are Jey Uso versus Gunther for Saturday, and the Women’s Triple Threat between Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, and Bianca Belair for Sunday. We do stress that neither of those are confirmed, as they could change on the day of. We say that because, about six years ago now, at WrestleMania 35, WrestleVotes reported pretty late in the day that the opening match was AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton. And then, you know, 15 minutes before the show – it’s been documented that it happened that late – they moved it to Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins, so things can change. However, as of now, your opening matches are Jey Uso vs. Gunther and the Women’s Triple Threat.”
