Tiffany Stratton (C) Against Charlotte Flair to WWE WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP
Tiffany Stratton has had an impressive few months since her call to the most important WWE list. She won the money in the Bank Ladder match and paid off her former partner Nia Jax to win WWE WOMEN’s Championship.
But the upstart -wrestler is ready to run into one of the biggest challenges in her young career – go for a legendary competitor in Charlotte Flair.
Flair came back from a devastating knee injury to win the women’s royal rumble. She chose to challenge Stratton in the pursuit of a 15th women’s championship. While Flair apparently had the upper hand over his new rival at the start of the feud, Stratton returned to her with fiery words as the two became personal in one of their more interesting quarrels yet.
On the penultimate “Friday Night Smackdown”, Flair Stratton attacked in the parking lot as a revenge measure.
Flair has the experience and recognitions that go into the fight, but Stratton has been known to pick himself up by his bootstraps and overcome the odds.
GUNTHER (C) AGAINST JEY USO TO WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Jey Uso has emerged as one of the most popular superstars on the WWE program list since defeating his brother, Jimmy, in a nagging match at last year’s wrestlemania. Fans have come behind his “Yeet Movement” to help him drive him to become No. 1 challenger to the World Heavyweight Championship. It all culminated with a surprising royal rumble -victory back in February.
But the USO chose to go the more difficult route – tried to point some demons and eventually defeat Gunther for the title. The USO has not had much luck so far. Gunther defeated USO on Saturday evening’s main event in January and on an episode of “Monday Night Raw” last May.
Gunther raised Ante as he delivered a bloody beatdown by Jimmy Uso in a match in the weeks leading up to Wrestlemania. But Jey Uso made it clear that he is no longer afraid of Gunther and is ready to bring the fight in Las Vegas.

The match between Jade Cargill and Naomi could potentially steal the show.
There is an intensity between the two competitors that may only be matched by the five wrestlers that will be the main events of the market for Wrestlemania 41.
The feud started when Cargill was mysteriously attacked and thrown on a car. For weeks, Naomi and Belair tried to find out who the striker was. At that time, Belair and Cargill were women’s roof-team masters, and Naomi was exploited to fill for Cargill.
Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis suggested that Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez could be the ones who are blamed for the assault.
When the women’s elimination chamber was to take place, Cargill came out after all participants entered the ring. Cargill looked at Morgan and then attacked Naomi in front of his tag-team partner. Naomi has since Copped for the assault and the match was made.
War Raiders (c) vs. New day to the World Cup in the World Market
Erik and Ivar have been on a tear since they returned to the ring after their significant injuries. In December, the team claimed Tag-Team Gold as they defeated Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the tiles. They have successfully defended their titles four times since then.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have spoken the lecture since their separation from Big E, which formed the current new day -tag fans now seeing. Kingston and Woods have not achieved respect for fans, but could do so at the end of their wrestlemania match.
The new day gets another crack on War Raiders for the titles.
La Knight (C) Against Jacob Fatu to WWE United States Championship

La Knight enters Wrestlemania 41 as US champion, but he is facing a huge uphill with Jacob Fatu. Knight may have played in hand as one of the more popular masters on the smackdown program list.
Fatu has proven to be another animal. He is cut down almost every monster he has come across since he came to WWE. He has proven that he can go to toe with anyone who steps into the ring with him and bring a destruction path.
But between the two wrestlers, Knight is the one with the wrestlemania experience. He defeated AJ Styles in his first wrestlemania match last year. It propelled him on a course for the American championship. FATU has not yet appeared on a wrestlemania.
It will be the first matchup between the two wrestlers.
Rey Mysterio vs. El Grande americano

Rey Mysterio is one of the legends on the schedule, and for the past few months he has been in feuds with his son, Judgment Day, Santos Escobar and now El Grande americano.
El Grande americano burst out on stage after Chad Gable took off at an angle to learn the ways in Lucha Libre. Shortly after, El Grande americano burst on stage. He has been a rival from Dragon Lee in recent weeks, but he used his loaded mask for Headbutt Mysterio during one of the recent matches between Latino World Order and American Made.
Mysterio requested a match with El Grande Americano and Raw General Manager Adam Pearce.
Roman Reigns vs. Cm punk vs. Seth Rollins

Bad blood and a long story between these three rivals will be in the limelight of Wrestlemania 41.
As mentioned earlier, the three competitors have a story that goes back to today’s reign and Rollins was in the shield fraction. Punk fell “pipe bombs” on WWE management at the time. Much has changed since then.
Punk returned in Survivor Series 2023 – a lot to the surprise of Pro Wrestling World and the whole Chicago Crown. Rollins was noticeably annoyed and he repeated his perceived hatred of punk right then and there. The two verbally spared for several months as punk was needed to recover from a triceps injury under 2024 Royal Rumble. When he recovered, Punk started a feud with Drew McIntyre before returning to focus on Rollins.
What disturbed Rollins even more was Punk, who helped Reigns during the Wargames match in Survivor Series in 2024. Rollins’ anger against Reign grew it, and it all came to the head at Royal Rumble in February when the three competitors were removed one by one. Rollins gave a stomp to Reigns and Punk. Reigns returned in March to interfere in a burkamp between Rollins and Punk. It started where the story is now.
There is an added bonus. Reigns’ long -time Wiseman, Paul Heyman, owed Punk a benefit to helping Reigns defeat the rest of Bloodline in Survivor Series. In return, Heyman told Reigns he would be in Punk’s Corner for the Triple Threat Match.
The last “raw” before Wrestlemania showed a massive confrontation between competitors. Reigns pushed Heyman to the ground before spewing punk. Rollins got his revenge with a massive chair shot on Reigns before stamping punk.
