Welcome to the biggest, silliest, most dramatic, over-the-top two-day event that professional wrestling puts on every year. That’s right, WrestleMania 41 goes down tonight (Sat., April 19, 2025) live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
WrestleMania 41 start time is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT (full details here).
Night 1 will be headlined by a triple-threat match, featuring Roman Reigns, C.M. Punk and Seth Rollins. This highly-anticipated clash — fueled by months of intense rivalry and betrayals — marks Punk’s first WrestleMania main event since 2013.
Meanwhile, WrestleMania 41 will culminate with Night 2 tomorrow evening (Sun., April 20, 2025), headlined by Undisputed WWE champion, Cody Rhodes, defending his title against John Cena, who aims to secure a record-breaking 17th world championship in his final WrestleMania appearance.
The night will also feature a triple-threat women’s world championship showdown with Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley, alongside other high-stakes bouts like Drew McIntyre vs. Damian Priest in a “Sin City Street Fight.”
All that and so much more.
