WWE has presented a solid series of Wrestlemania events in recent years and had the difficult task of surpassing WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
Ultimately, both nights fulfilled, but they were far from being perfect.
The challenging victory of Seth Rollins over Roman Reigns and CM Punk in a triple threat struggle was an incredible closure for the night 1. Nothing more on the billboard approached remotely, although Jey use making Gunther to win to win the World Heavyweight World Championship was undoubtedly a moment of Wrestlemania.
Night 2 was exceptionally more solid in general, starting with the triple threat by the World Women's Championship where Io Sky found a way to go out with his intact reign. It was in that same show that John Cena conquered Cody Rhodes for WWE's undisputed universal championship, although with an anti -Cott Travis Scott anti -limit assistance.
In general, although it will not be remembered as one of the best events in history, the main payment event significantly shook WWE panorama and left the audience with anxious what is coming.
After the weekend of Wrestlemania, let's review the greatest successes and errors of Wrestlemania 41.
Suit: Seth Rollins is Paul Heyman's new protected
The final moments of WrestleMania 41 night were a perfect example of how predictability is not necessarily bad if it runs correctly.
Seth Rollins has suffered for a long time for not being particularly interesting in what has been involved in WWE television. His greatness in the ring could never be questioned, but he needed a drastic change of character and associated with Paul Heyman was exactly the magic he was missing.
No one will look at Rollins and argue that Heyman's incorporation to his act was essential. Rollins is a world champion on multiple occasions and Wrestlemania's poster head, and under no circumstances he needs the member of the WWE Hall of Fame as his spokesman.
However, CM Punk did not need Heyman to speak for him during his time together in 2012 and 2013, but his alliance made television unmissable.
It seems that Rollins and Heyman share a mutual contempt for Roman Reigns, and that is what should be explored when they inevitably explain their actions. Ultimately, that Reigns is betrayed by his counselor will be done by a much better long term because, for the first time, he will have to be vulnerable and be alone.
Error: Logan Paul defeats AJ Styles
Given its collective stellar power, the preparation for the combat of Wrestlemania between Logan Paul and Aj Styles was severely disappointing, to say the least.
He did not help the encounter itself were not better than it was. It was a perfectly solid issue, but it lacked meaning because their enmity was poorly defined and failed to have the surprise fight of the secondary billboard that one would expect them to be able to offer.
Worse, Paul came out victorious at the end.
This should have been a clear victory for Styles, who returned after another long absence in Royal Rumble. Instead, it is being used as a springboard for Paul without an obvious final objective in view.
If WWE is preparing Paul for an attempt by Jey's heavyweight worldwide championship use in backlash, then the result was logical. If not, Styles should have decisively won to return to the road and start building a serious impulse.
The only aspect that worked was the participation of Karrion Kross. The two -time NXT champion has shown interest in Styles and will be intriguing to see how that develops in Monday's RAW.
Success: Dominik Mysterio captures an individual title
Dirty Dom's era is officially underway in RAW.
Weeks of tensions insinuated between Dominik Mysterio and Finn Bálor culminated with Mysterio betraying Bálor in 4 -way fatal combat and stealing the victory to become the new intercontinental champion.
Surely Mysterio will recognize in the RAW on Monday that, according to the rules of combat, he was each man for himself and simply took an opportunity. The total rupture of The Judgment Day is imminent and this was the necessary step to tell that story.
The second generation star has established its own identity since the Judgment Day joined in the late 2022 and became one of the best Heels in Raw Roster. His work in the ring does not compare to others in the company, but his character work alone made him the best candidate for that title eventually.
The public reaction of the public when capturing the prestigious prize should also be an indicator that an organic change to Babyface is coming while stating that he is the best champion in history.
Error: Jade Cargill cuts Naomi's impulse
He took 40 years, but WWE finally scheduled a standard individual female fight, without a title, for the Wrestlemania billboard, and was a well -made story with Naomi and Jade Cargill.
It was not known how Naomi would go like Heel after being Babyface during the last decade, but has exceeded expectations in an outstanding way. Very little has changed in his fighting, but since then his work has improved to the microphone as Heel.
That is why it was so surprising for fans to see her losing cleanly against Cargill when they faced one by one at night 1 of Wrestlemania 41.
They worked well enough together and had a quality fight, but that Cargill gave Naomi as soon as he was disappointing. WWE could have scheduled a slightly more ambiguous result to advance rivalry and build towards a rematch, preferably in backlash.
There is no guarantee that the rivalry is officially finished, but it is not guaranteed that they resume its rivalry. Time will say how Naomi recovers, but Cargill could have easily absorbed defeat in this show just so that Naomi could continue moving forward a little more.
Success: Jey use wins the world heavyweight championship
Any other result that was not Jey using Gunther's World Heavyweight Championship at night 1 of Wrestlemania 41 would have been the wrong one.
WWE took the long -term narrative route with use by making him fail against Gunther on several occasions. That made his triumph for the world title heavyweight over the general of the ring on Saturday night was even more significant.
Simultaneously it served as a hot beginning for the show and established the tone for what would come at the rest of the night.
The question now is if I use can be maintained at the stellar event level as a champion and not only as a challenger. He will have credible competition waiting for him as soon as in Monday's RAW, including the newly converted Seth Rollins.
Regardless of how much his reign lasts, he can always say that he was a world heavyweight champion and that, despite what his detractors can believe, he can win when he matters more.
Error: Travis Scott, no The Rock, attends John Cena to defeat Cody Rhodes
Virtually all about the execution of the Wrestlemania stellar event 41: Night 2 was abysmal and hindered what should have been a historical moment.
The fight itself was finding its rhythm before the final abrupt. Travis Scott's interference was not totally shocking after what he did to Cody Rhodes in Elimination Chamber 2025, but that he was the only person to interfere was a quite questionable decision.
That dinner continued with a blow with the belt and a three account was a disappointing conclusion. That dinner captured his 17th world title of WWE, breaking records, was the right result, but how it happened was not exactly ideal.
It is more obvious than ever than The Rock simply appears when it is convenient and derails plans that would have worked better without their participation. In this case, that The Rock did not return to help Cena to obtain the victory completely annulled the purpose of having dinner “selling her soul” to him in elimination chamber and planting the seeds for an alliance that has not yet been completed.
The dinner reign will be fun to continue, but such a monumental moment should have impacted more.
Success: Iyo Sky retains the World Women's Championship
WrestleMania 41 night 41 had a lot in his favor in general, but reached its maximum early with the tremendous triple threat by the World Women's Championship.
A bad preparation was not enough to take the brightness to the incredible chemistry that Iyo Sky, Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley had when the bell rang. The action was exciting from beginning to end and any of them could have realistically won.
That Belair defeated them both for the title and later became Heel would have had potential, but there is nothing wrong with Sky being chosen as the winner.
Sky has gone unnoticed since he assured the title in March and has basically been a secondary player in the rivalry between Belair and Ripley. Sky capitalized his mutual animosity and stole the victory to retain his title.
That should consolidate it as the face of Raw's female division, not as a late occurrence. Belair and Ripley can continue their rivalry outside the race for the title and work to return to it later, but for now, it is Sky's time to shine and its phenomenal performance in Wrestlemania proved it.
