WWE Raw on Monday (April 14) from Sacramento, California, set the stage for WrestleMania 41 with a tense final confrontation. In the closing moments of the show, Seth Rollins delivered decisive stomps to both CM Punk and Roman Reigns, leaving him standing tall just days before their triple threat main event.

Earlier in the night, Roman Reigns arrived to find CM Punk walking with Paul Heyman, triggering a wave of tension. Reigns confronted Heyman in the ring, questioning why he would corner Punk at WrestleMania in return for a favour Punk had granted at WarGames. Reigns argued that he never requested the favour, so he should not bear its consequences.

Rollins soon interrupted, calling the upcoming WrestleMania match the most important in WWE history, warning that the future of the company should not be controlled by Reigns or Punk. He accused Heyman of aligning with Punk by choice, not obligation.

Tempers flared. Reigns attacked Rollins and shoved Heyman. Punk rushed to the ring and momentarily turned the tables before being speared by Reigns. Rollins then returned with a steel chair, landing punishing blows and finishing moves on both rivals as the show concluded.

For the second week running, Rollins exploited the unstable dynamics between Reigns and Heyman. Heyman's unclear loyalty and Reigns’ aggression have given Rollins a psychological advantage heading into WrestleMania.

The rest of the night saw multiple developments:

  • Gunther opened the show, warning Jey Uso that bravado would not save him at WrestleMania.
  • Bayley defeated Liv Morgan after interference from Raquel Rodriguez and support from Lyra Valkyria.
  • Rey Mysterio beat Julius Creed but was attacked post-match by El Grade Americano.
  • AJ Styles overcame Karrion Kross, only to be assaulted by Logan Paul backstage.
  • Jey Uso claimed he saw fear in Gunther’s eyes.
  • Judgment Day launched a surprise attack on Bron Breakker during an interview.
  • Finn Balor won against Penta via disqualification after Breakker interfered, leading to a ringside melee.

When and where is WrestleMania 41?

  • WrestleMania 41 will be held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, across two nights: April 19 and 20, 2025. The event will begin at 7 PM ET/4 PM PT in the United States.
  • For viewers in India, WrestleMania 41 will stream live on Netflix at 4:30 AM IST on April 20 and 21, 2025.

What is on the WrestleMania 41 match card?
The card for WrestleMania 41 includes 12 matches, split over two nights—five matches on Night One (April 19) and seven matches on Night Two (April 20). While most of the matchups have already been confirmed, the status of the clash between Kevin Owens and Randy Orton remains uncertain due to Owens’s ongoing recovery from a serious neck injury.

The marquee event on Night One features the triple threat match between Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Roman Reigns—marked by deep personal rivalries and Paul Heyman’s unpredictable role at ringside.
