WrestleMania isWWE's flagshipprofessional wrestlingpay-per-view (PPV) andlivestreaming event, having first been held in1985. It was the company's first PPV produced and was also WWE's first major event available via livestreaming when the company launched theWWE Network in February 2014. It is the longest-running event in WWE history and is held annually between mid-March to mid-April, featuring wrestlers from WWE'sRaw andSmackDownbrand divisions.[3] Along withRoyal Rumble,SummerSlam,Survivor Series, andMoney in the Bank, it is one of the company's five biggest events of the year, referred to as the "Big Five".[4][5][6] WrestleMania was ranked the sixth-most valuable sports brand in the world byForbes,[7] and has been described as theSuper Bowl ofsports entertainment.[8] Similar to the Super Bowl, cities bid to host WrestleMania.[9]
On May 4, 2024, duringNBC's pre-race coverage for the150th Kentucky Derby, it was announced thatAllegiant Stadium in theLas Vegas district ofParadise, Nevada would host WrestleMania 41 on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025, marking the first WrestleMania to be held duringEaster weekend. This is subsequently the second WWE event to be held at the venue afterSummerSlam in 2021.[10] This is also the second WrestleMania held in the Las Vegas area, afterWrestleMania IX in 1993, which was held atCaesars Palace, with the event in turn marketed as "WrestleMania Vegas".[11] Two-day combo tickets went on sale on October 25, 2024,[12] while single day tickets went on sale from January 24, 2025.[13] One of the official theme songs for the event was "Timeless" byThe Weeknd andPlayboi Carti, marking a record sixth consecutive year that a Weeknd track had served as a theme song for a WrestleMania.[14] "Fein" byTravis Scott featuring Playboi Carti was also an official theme song.[15]
Minneapolis, Minnesota was also a finalist to host the event atU.S. Bank Stadium. Its proponents said they had been informed that the decision to place the event in the Las Vegas area was driven by a "change in direction by new ownership", following the 2023 merger of WWE and Las Vegas-basedUltimate Fighting Championship (UFC) asTKO Group Holdings, controlled by UFC's previous sole ownerEndeavor.[16] U.S. Bank Stadium would in turn getSummerSlam for 2026.[17]
In addition to airing on traditional pay-per-view worldwide, WrestleMania 41 was available to livestream onPeacock in the United States,Netflix in most international markets, and the WWE Network in any remaining countries that had not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This marked the first WrestleMania to livestream on Netflix following the WWE Network's merger under the service in January 2025 in those areas. The select few territories that still have the standalone WWE Network will eventually merge under Netflix once the pre-existing contracts expire.[18] On October 29, of the same year,WWE posted the entirety of the 2 nights on theirYouTube channel, in a free livestream

Following the match, Rhodes appeared to congratulate Cena followed by The Rock to get Rhodes's answer to his offer. Rhodes declined and Cena embraced Rhodes; however, Cena then viciously attacked Rhodes, siding with Rock, turningheel for the first time since 2003.[39] In the weeks following, Cena berated the audience, claiming they had mistreated him for the last 20+ years, and that he turned on Rhodes because he was disgusted by him.

Upon CM Punk's return to WWE atSurvivor Series: WarGames in November 2023,[44] he immediately became a target ofSeth Rollins. Unable to compete for several months after tearing his triceps at the2024 Royal Rumble,[45] Punk returned from injury and had various encounters with Rollins, further enraging him. In November, Punk joinedRoman Reigns's team as its fifth member at that year'sSurvivor Series: WarGames in theWarGames match on behalf of his former manager and Reigns's special counsel,Paul Heyman, with Heyman owing Punk a favor for agreeing to the match, which they won.[46] Punk became the target of Rollins once again due to Rollins's hatred of both Reigns and Punk. This culminated in a match onRaw's Netflix premiere, in which Punk defeated Rollins.[47] At the 2025 Royal Rumble, Punk eliminated both Reigns and Rollins before his own elimination. The three brawled at ringside where Rollins performed a two-footed stomp on Reigns, ruling him unable to compete for the next few weeks.[36] Punk also eliminated Rollins from the men's Elimination Chamber match.

During a title match between the two teams on the April 7, 2025, episode, Woods attempted to hit Erik with a steel chair; however, the referee saw Erik inadvertently hit Woods with the chair instead, thus The New Day won via disqualification, but since championships do not change hands via disqualification or countout unless stipulated, The War Raiders remained champions.

A pivotal moment of the match saw Punk performing a Go To Sleep on Rollins, followed by Reigns performing a Spear on Punk, which was then followed up by Rollins rebounding off the ropes and performed a Stomp on Reigns, thus all three men were incapacitated for a while.
In the closing moments, whilst all three men were down, Heyman obtained a steel chair and handed it to Punk. However, before Punk could attack Reigns with the chair, Heyman betrayed Punk with a low blow and handed the chair to Reigns, who repeatedly struck Punk with the chair. As Reigns was about to strike Rollins with the chair, reminiscent of the way Rollins struck Reigns with a steel chair 11 years prior to break up Reigns and Rollins's faction The Shield, Heyman turned on Reigns with a low blow, and handed the chair to Rollins. Rollins then struck Reigns with the chair and performed the Stomp on Reigns to win the match.[30]

The event received generally mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. Shakiel Mahjouri ofCBS Sports gave the Night 1 main event a grade of A+, calling it a "beautifully executed match, from Punk's entrance to the shocking conclusion".[93]Wade Keller ofPro Wrestling Torch stated that "a lot happened in that match before Heyman helped Seth win, so that aspect of the way the story was told was contrived", and "one of the aspects of this story that felt weird was what a price they'd pay and how much they'd miss out on if either Punk or Reigns turned heel". Heyman's alliance with Rollins "gives Seth a new character to work with and a new dynamic", but Keller stated that it would take a lot to process "the Heyman-Seth dynamic", and "it makes sense that Seth believed this match would give him control of the industry".[94]
For the Night 2 main event, Keller stated that WWE "managed to get through the match competently enough", but that it was "lame" for Travis Scott to be "the tipping point for Cena to win when nobody cares about him in the WWE context". Cena winning was not a surprise as "that did seem like the next logical chapter in the Cena retirement story", and Rhodes being booed was not "in a way that it seemed to just become the predominant story of the match".[95] Brent Brookhouse ofCBS Sports gave it a grade of C−, stating that "Scott interfering followed by a very obvious low blow and belt shot finish was just a disappointing way for things to end, especially considering the expectations for an appearance from The Rock".[96]
John Canton of TJRWrestling reviewed the second night of the event praising the Women's World Championship match, the Sin City Street Fight match, the Intercontinental Championship match and the AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul match but criticized the main event. Regarding the main event he said "It was slow paced and not the most entertaining match, but they got through it with a lot of twists and turns". He gave Night 2 an 8.5 out of 10.[97]
