WWE WrestleMania, the biggest pro-wrestling spectacle, is less than a week away. The 41st edition of the Showcase of the Immortals will get underway at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (April 19 and 20) in the US, with some of the top names in this billion-dollar industry, including John Cena, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Charlotte Flair and Rey Mysterio set to feature at WWE WrestleMania 41. But who headlines the two nights? Let's find out.
WWE WrestleMania 41 will see 16-time world champion John Cena face off against the WWE champion Cody Rhodes. This dream match came to life after Cena won the Elimination Chamber match and turned ‘Heel’ for the first time in his 20-year-plus decorated WWE career, breaking the internet.
On the other hand, the WWE creative pulled off a billion-dollar draw by announcing the biggest match of the year, a triple threat between Roman, Seth Rollins and CM Punk. Though there are a couple more matches worthy of main-eventing Night 1 at the Mania, this top-tier clash will headline Night 1, with Cody vs Cena being the main event on Night 2.
