Tiffany Stratton (C) against Charlotte Flair for WWE women’s championship
Tiffany Stratton has been impressive a few months since his call for the main WWE list. She won the bank’s scale match and cashed her former partner Nia Jax to win the WWE Women’s Championship.
But the wrestler on the way is about to meet one of the greatest challenges of his young career – going after a legendary competitor to Charlotte Flair.
Flair returned from a devastating knee injury to win the Royal Rumble Female. She chose to challenge Stratton in pursuit of a 15th female championship. While Flair apparently had the upper hand over his new rival at the start of the quarrel, Stratton returned to him with inflamed words while the two were personal in one of their most interesting altercations to date.
In the penultimate “Friday Night Smackdown”, Flair attacked Stratton in the parking lot as a vengeance measure.
Flair has experience and distinctions in the match, but Stratton is known to reproduce by its boots and overcome the chances.
Gunther (C) against Jey USO for the WWE World Healthy Championship

Jey USO has become one of the most popular superstars on the WWE list since his brother’s defeat, Jimmy, in a resentment match at Wrestlemania from last year. The fans took behind his “Yeet movement” to help him become candidate No. 1 for the world heavyweight championship. Everything resulted in a surprise victory by Royal Rumble in February.
But USO chose to get the most difficult route – trying to increase certain demons and finally the Gunther defeat for the title. USO has not been very lucky so far. Gunther beat USO at the main event on Saturday evening in January and in an episode of “Monday Night Raw” in May of last year.
Gunther increased the bet when he delivered a bloody Jimmy USO battery in a match in the weeks preceding Wrestlemania. But Jey USO clearly said he was no longer afraid of Gunther and is ready to bring the fight to Las Vegas.

The match between Jade Cargill and Naomi could potentially steal the show.
There is an intensity between the two competitors who can only be equaled by the five wrestlers who will be the main events of Marquee for Wrestlemania 41.
The quarrel started when Cargill was mysteriously attacked and thrown on a car. For weeks, Naomi and Belair tried to find out who the attacker was. At the time, Belair and Cargill were champions of the women’s team and Naomi was used to fill for Cargill.
Smackdown general manager Nick Aldis suggested that Liv Morgan and Rodriguez could be those to blame for the assault.
While the women’s elimination chamber was to take place, Cargill came out after all the candidates entered the ring. Cargill watched Morgan then attacked Naomi in front of his label team partner. Naomi has since been storming and the match was made.
War Raiders (C) vs new day for the world of labeled team championship
Erik and Ivar have been in tears since their return to the ring after their important injuries. In December, the team claimed the gold of the tag team when he defeated Finn Balor and JD McDonagh for the tiles. They successfully defended their titles four times since then.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have talked about the conversation since their separation of Big E, forming fans of the current Tag New Day team. Kingston and Woods have not won respect for fans, but could do so at the end of their Wrestlemania match.
The new day will obtain a second crack at the War raiders for the titles.
The Knight (C) against Jacob Fatu for the WWE United States championship

The Knight enters Wrestlemania 41 as champion of the United States, but it faces a huge difficult battle with Jacob Fatu. Knight could have the game in hand as one of the most popular champions on the Smackdown list.
Fatu turned out to be a different beast. He cut almost all the monsters he has been having since he came to WWE. He proved that he can go aside with anyone who walks in the ring and bring a path of destruction.
But between the two wrestlers, Knight is the one with the experience of Wrestlemania. He beat AJ Styles in his first Wrestlemania match last year. This propelled him to a course for the American championship. Fatu has not yet appeared in a Wrestlemania.
It will be the first match between the two wrestlers.
Rey Mysterio against El Grande Americano

Rey Mysterio is one of the legends of the list and in recent months, he has been in quarrels with his son, the day of the judgment, Santos Escobar and now El Grande Americano.
El Grande Americano broke into the stage after Chad Gable took time in a corner to learn the ways of Lucha Libre. Shortly after, El Grande Americano broke into the stage. He has been a rival of Dragon Lee in recent weeks, but he has used his busy mask for Headbutt Mysterio in one of the recent matches between the Latin World Order and the American.
Mysterio asked for a match with El Grande Americano and the managing director Raw Adam Pearce.
Novel Reigns vs cm punk against Seth Rollins

Bad blood and a long history between these three rivals will be under the projectors of Wrestlemania 41.
As mentioned earlier, the three competitors have a story dating days when Reigns and Rollins were in the Shield faction. The punk dropped “pipe bombs” on WWE management at the time. Many things have changed since then.
Punk returned to the Survivor 2023 series – to the great surprise of the world of professional struggle and the entire Crown of Chicago. Rollins was significantly furious and he rekindled his perceived hatred for punk right away. The two argued verbally for months when the punk had to recover from a triceps injury during the Royal Rumble 2024. Once he recovered, Punk started a quarrel with Drew McIntyre before returning to concentrate on Rollins.
What still upset Rollins was that Punk helped Reigns during the Wargames match at the 2024 Survivor series. Rollins’ anger towards Reigns grew up and everything came at the head of the Royal Rumble in February when the three competitors were eliminated one by one. Rollins gave a stomp with Reigns and Punk. Reigns returned in March to interfere in a cage match between Rollins and Punk. He launched where the scenario is.
There is an additional bonus. Wiseman for a long time of Reigns, Paul Heyman, had to punk to help Reigns defeat the rest of the Bloodline at Survivor series. In return, Heyman told Reigns that he would be in the corner of punk for the triple threat match.
The last “crude” before Wrestlemania showed a massive confrontation between competitors. Reigns pushed Heyman to the ground before turning punk. Rollins had his revenge with a huge chair on Reigns before trampling on punk.
