Wrestlemania 41 is one month away. While Cody Rhodes will surely lead the second night against John Cena, the main event of Saturday is far from confirmed.
However, the very rumored triple threat combat between Roman Reigns, Seth “Freakin” Rollins and CM Punk is a strong contender to close the first night of the show show this year.
Although the triple threat clash could potentially be a classic of 'Mania, it should not be the stellar event of WrestleMania 41: night one, for the following three reasons:
#3. A title star event could devalue the prestige of the World Heavyweight Championship and Royal Rumble
Although it is not recorded in stone, the winner of the Royal Rumble is usually the favorite to lead the greatest stage of all. The winner of the 'Male Rumble of 2025, Jey Use, was a surprise choice, and selected Gunther as his opponent for the showcase of the immortals.
Therefore, Jey use vs. Gunther was announced as the fight for the World Heavyweight World Championship in Mania 41. However, until now WWE has failed to build rivalry as a main event level program worthy of closing the greatest show of professional wrestling.
Despite the construction, it would still be worth programming the fight for the World Heavyweight Championship as the main event of WrestleMania: Night one. A victory for Jey use would undoubtedly generate a great ovation and close the night in a high note.
In addition, the World Heavyweight Championship would increase its value by closing the night. On the contrary, having a triple threat fight without a title after the fight for the world title between the general of the ring and Jey use could devalue the prestige of the title itself, as well as the achievement of winning the Royal Rumble.
#2. Wrestlemania's poster head 41: night one should have greater bets
The association between CM Punk, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins dates back to The Shield formation in 2012. There are several overlapping narratives, and the scope for the narration is unlimited. In addition, the action in the ring would be solid with some of the best athletes in the headquarters in Stamford taking the quadrilateral together.
However, without a world title at stake, bets are not high enough to justify a place in the main event. While Charlotte Flair vs. Tiffany Stratton and Gunther vs. Jey use may not have enough heat or be able to be able, the stipulation of the world championship makes both fighting very important.
However, WWE could raise bets by inserting the fighting winner in Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena, in which case, the triple threat would certainly lead Wrestlemania 41: Night one.
#1. The first stellar event of CM Punk should feel more special
It is no secret that CM Punk wants to head Wrestlemania. It has been a life of a lifetime that has so far eluded the best in the world in his career. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have headed the show show.
Punk is likely to have his main event of 'Mania before retiring, but he should feel more special. The second night's poster head is the unequivocal closure of the show, and the straight-edge superstar should fulfill that role.
In addition, an individual resentment fight or a fight for the world title would be the main event for the native of Chicago. A triple threat where it does not have to be involved in the final sequence dilutes the importance of its moment.
