High confidence pick Could go either way Bold / upset pick Title change predicted

Night 2 — April 20 (Main Card)

Main Event

Cody Rhodes vs Gunther

WWE Championship

Pick: Gunther wins NEW Champion

Cody's story was completed at WM40. Gunther as WWE Champion is fresh, compelling, and gives WWE a dominant villain heading into summer. The Ring General's time is now.

Confidence: 55%

This one could genuinely go either way — Cody as a fighting champion has its own appeal. If Gunther wins, the crowd reaction in Las Vegas will be one for the ages.

Featured Match

CM Punk vs Drew McIntyre

Stipulation TBA

Pick: CM Punk wins

WWE needs Punk to have his WM moment after the injury setback. Drew has had his title reigns and his moments — Punk winning this feud is the correct creative call. Expect a brutal, war-of-attrition match that both men sell for weeks afterward.

Return Match

Seth Rollins — Return Match

Opponent TBA

Pick: Seth Rollins wins

Return matches at WrestleMania almost always end in a win for the returning superstar. Seth deserves a triumphant comeback after his absence. The Stomp will echo around Allegiant Stadium.

Women's Division

Women's Championship Matches

Raw + SmackDown Women's Championships

SmackDown Women's: Bianca Belair wins

Bold pick — Bianca taking the title from Tiffany at WM is the feel-good moment the women's division needs.

Raw Women's: Rhea Ripley wins

If Rhea is back and in a title match, she wins. The Nightmare reclaiming her title at WrestleMania is the perfect comeback arc.

Wild Card

Roman Reigns & The Rock — What Happens?

Bloodline Resolution / Celebrity Involvement

Pick: Roman turns babyface, confronts Solo Sikoa

The most narratively satisfying WM41 booking has Roman returning as a babyface to reclaim The Bloodline from Solo. The Rock serves as a wildcard — possibly betraying Solo to align with Roman, possibly the opposite. This story resolves at WM41 but the aftermath extends to SummerSlam.
