Since everybody here is busy booking Wrestlemania 40, I decided to have a little fun and make my card for Wrestlemania 41 about fifteen months in advance. I’ve tried to keep the card as realistic as possible by not having too many wrestlers from outside WWE suddenly join the company. I’ve also thought of NXT 2.0 stars and how they may be integrated into the main roster.

Night One

1. Ilja Dragunov vs Drew McIntyre for the Intercontinental Championship

A hard hitting match between two hard hitting athletes. Ilja tries to defend his title against Drew, a man who has been chasing the prestigious title for many years. In the end, Ilja comes out on top and cements himself as the most dangerous man in WWE.

1. Dakota Kai/Tegan Nox vs Cora Jade/Roxanne Perez vs Alba Fyre/Isla Dawn vs Chelsea Green/Carmella for the Women’s Tag Championships

A fun and chaotic tag match to cool down the crowd after the previous match. In the end, the newly reunited team of Dakota and Tegan pick up the win.

1. Carmelo Hayes vs Logan Paul

After arriving onto the main roster after Mania XL, Carmelo Hayes quickly rises up the ranks as the hot new superstar of WWE. He is challenged by Logan Paul, a man who similarly has the athleticism, charisma and IT factor that Carmelo has. The two face off in a high-flying match with Carmelo managing to beat Logan.

1. Solo Sikoa vs Bron Breakker for the United States Championship

After betraying his leader Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa quickly rises up the ranks and wins the US championship. However, his betrayal has consequences as Paul Heyman brings his new client, Bron Breakker, to exact revenge. After several months of brawls across arenas, the two finally meet in a chaotic match at Mania with Bron emerging as the stronger man and winning his first championship.

1. Randy Orton vs John Cena - Last Time Ever

For a big marquee match, Orton and Cena clash for one last time at the showcase of immortals. In the build up, both men talk about their careers, their histories together and how they’ve evolved over time. The match itself is highly emotional, with both men countering each other and knowing each other’s every move. After a long and grueling match, it is Randy Orton that manages to pick up the win. The two men shake hands and hug in the middle of the ring and exit together to a huge ovation.

1. Sami Zayn/Kevin Owens vs Montez Ford/Angelo Dawkins vs Johnny Gargano/Tomasso Ciampa vs Julius Creed/Brutus Creed for the Tag Team Championships

After several months of various amazing tag team matches, the four best tag teams in the world with the best chemistries decide to tear it down in the ring for the prestigious tag titles. The match is clash of styles. In the end, the Creed Brothers energy victorious through their mixture of strength, speed and athleticism.

1. Jade Cargill vs Tiffany Stratton for the Smackdown Women’s Championship

The two rapidly developing women superstars have a huge match at Mania for Jade’s championship. The match is a clash of personalities, with Jade’s larger than life, no nonsense demeanor clashing with Tiffany’s over-the-top and flashy personality.

Night Two

After a long and storied career, AJ Styles announces that his match at Mania will be his last and issued an open challenge. His challenge is accepted by Finn Balor, who has tons of history with AJ inside and outside the WWE ring.

AJ picks up the win and retires, shaking Finn’s hand on the way out.

1. Becky Lynch/Charlotte Flair/Bayley/Sasha Banks vs Iyo Sky/Kairi Sane/Asuka/Giulia
