As the WWE closes in on WrestleMania 41’s two-night spectacle in April, plans are slowly taking shape as the card for the Showcase of the Immortals becomes more apparent.

WWE WrestleMania 41: Venue, How to Watch, Tickets and More
WrestleMania 41 should be another historic event for the WWE. Here is everything you need to know ahead of the 2025 edition of the Show of Shows.
Women’s Intercontinental Championship
Dakota Kai should finally get her crowning moment
When it was revealed in November that WWE would be introducing a Women’s Intercontinental Championship, all signs pointed toward Dakota Kai finally winning her first WWE singles championship. However, a loss to current holder Lyra Valkyria in the final saw that opportunity fade away from King Kota. The New Zealand-born WWE Superstar then earned herself a rematch, which saw her once again fall at the final hurdle.
Having dispatched of Ivy Nile on Raw in Belgium, a fellow Intercontinental competitor, Kai has again risen to the top of WWE’s mid-card contenders. A WWE Superstar more than deserving of a singles title, Kai should finally get the better of Valkyria on the Grandest Stage of them All.
United States Championship
Another Bloodline member should Las Vegas with gold
A WWE Superstar whose rise to popularity over recent months is unparalleled by any of his colleagues, Jacob Fatu’s immense start to life in the WWE should be validated with a championship win at ‘Mania. Having been brought into Solo Sikoa’s Bloodline as his leader’s Samoan henchman, Fatu’s talent saw him transcend the group and firmly cement himself as the faction’s most popular member.
Increasing in popularity with every passing week, Fatu’s prior history with recent two-time United States Champion LA Knight sees this bout likely for WrestleMania. Although Jimmy Uso took to Barcelona to tell Knight he wanted a shot, it is Fatu who should be next in line for the belt.
WWE Tag Team Championships
A WrestleMania moment for a legendary pairing
Another belt that has recently seen a new holder, with WrestleMania being an event that lays the scene for the rest of the year, another title switch could be witnessed in Las Vegas for the Tag Team Championships. With Street Profits leaving Barcelona with gold around their waists, ending an underwhelming DIY run, one team will be eyeing up payback: Motor City Machine Guns.
Having been cost an opportunity to reclaim their belts at the Royal Rumble due to the Profits’ interference, MCMG will want to exact revenge on the duo, and what better place than the Grandest Stage of Them All. A match that could be a triple threat involving all the aforementioned teams, MCMG should get a WrestleMania moment deserving of their legendary careers.
Intercontinental Championship
The final accolade on a legendary CV
Although Bron Breakker has enjoyed a fantastic run with the Intercontinental Championship, there is one WWE Superstar that the WWE Universe want to see hold that belt. Having dispatched of Finn Balor in Belgium and with Penta next up, fans will be hoping that Sheamus can weasel his way into plans and finally get his crowning moment for the Intercontinental title.
The final title before Sheamus qualifies for Grand Slam status, the Irishman has cemented himself as one of WWE’s most reliable performers. Having failed the Breakker test on numerous occasions, no one would question the Celtic Warrior receiving one last bite of the cherry in Las Vegas.
Women’s World Championship
Another quick title change could occur
The Road to WrestleMania has seen numerous titles change hands, which means that come April, there will be some WWE Superstars enduring the final moments of a very short reign. One of those could be Iyo Sky, who defeated Rhea Ripley on Raw to become the Women’s World Champion. Set to face Bianca Belair and potentially Ripley as part of a triple threat, it should be the EST who marks her return to the main event scene.
Having been in and around the Women’s Tag Team Championship fold, Belair’s victory at the Elimination Chamber granted her a WrestleMania opportunity. Having had her contract for a match signed by Ripley, the Showcase of the Immortals should see the EST pinning the Australian for the win.
