    The Road to WrestleMania finally concludes at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia for WrestleMania XL! Let’s take a look at the final announced card. 

    WrestleMania XL –
    Night 1 – Saturday, April 6

    WrestleMania XL
    WWE Women’s World Championship
    Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch

    Becky Lynch survived her first foray into the Elimination Chamber in Perth to earn the right to face Ripley for the title. Ripley is coming off a successful title defense in Perth as well.

    They crossed paths several months ago and now here we are. Will The Man add yet another title to her impressive resume? Can Mami become The Man after WrestleMania with another successful title defense?

    WrestleMania XL
    WWE Intercontinental Championship
    GUNTHER (c) vs. Sami Zayn

    Sami Zayn won a Gauntlet Match on Raw several weeks ago to earn this title match. GUNTHER is on a record-setting run as Intercontinental Champion.

    After being the last person eliminated in the Gauntlet Match, Chad Gable has been helping Sami Zayn prepare for GUNTHER after Gable himself took GUNTHER to the limit several times last year.

    Will Master Gable get Zayn in the right place to topple GUNTHER? Will GUNTHER continue on his record-setting Intercontinental Championship run?

    WrestleMania XL
    Jimmy Uso vs. “Main Event” Jey Uso 

    Brother versus brother returns to WrestleMania. The Bloodline has fractured one of the best tag teams in WWE. The Usos had great success together as a team but individually, the success hasn’t been as pronounced.

    Jimmy is still in The Bloodline while Jey has gone out on his own and has picked up a following. Can Jimmy pick up the win over his brother? Can Jey continue his success without The Bloodline? What does Rikishi think about all of this?

    WrestleMania XL
    Jade Cargill, Naomi, Bianca BelAir vs Damage CTRL (Asuka, Kairi Sane, Dakota Kai) 

    This match was made after Smackdown went off the air. Cargill came to the aid of BelAir and Naomi during another Damage CTRL attack. With the sides now even, which team will come out on top?

    Cargill is making her first WrestleMania appearance in her second-ever WWE match. She had an impressive showing at the Royal Rumble; will that continue? BelAir is also undefeated at WrestleMania.

    Can her streak continue? Not to be outdone, Damage CTRL still holds the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. They are the more cohesive of the two teams.

    Will that be the difference in this match? Can Cargill give another impressive showing and help her team to victory?

    WrestleMania XL
    Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship
    Six Pack Ladder Match
    Judgment Day (c) vs. #DIY (Johnny Gargano/Tommaso Ciampa) vs. Awesome Truth (Miz/R-Truth) vs. New Day (Kofi Kingston/Xavier Woods) vs. A-Town Down Under (Austin Theory/Grayson Waller) vs. New Catch Republic (Pete Dunne/Tyler Bate) 

    There are rumors swirling that one of these teams may get replaced before the event. Regardless, all six teams will be gunning for the titles in what is sure to be a crazy match. Judgment Day has had issues recently with #DIY, New Day, and Awesome Truth.

    Will this feud be settled once the dust settles? Michael Cole mentioned on Raw this week that both the Raw and Smackdown titles will need to be retrieved for this match to end.

    Does that mean the tag titles are getting split up? Will two teams walk out with tag team gold? Can one team retrieve both sets of titles and remain the undisputed champions?

    WrestleMania XL
    Rey Mysterio/Dragon Lee vs. Santos Escobar/Dominik Mysterio 

    The LWO’s newest recruit, Dragon Lee, teams with Rey Mysterio to help counter Santos Escobar. The LWO and Legano del Phantasimo will likely be at ringside to support their team.

    Will Dominik interjecting himself into Legado’s business help or hurt their war against the LWO? With Lee being a last-minute surprise, give the LWO a leg up.

    WrestleMania XL
    The Rock/Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes/Seth “Freakin” Rollins 

    The main event of Night One determines the stipulation for the main event of Night Two. If Rhodes and Rollins win the match, then the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match will have the entire Bloodline barred from ringside to make it a one-on-one match.

    If the Bloodline wins the match, then the title match will be Bloodline Rules, where anything goes. Which team will pick up the win to make the match? Who will pick the fall-up for their team, and against whom?

    With Rollins in this match, will Drew McIntyre figure into the outcome ahead of his World Heavyweight Championship match the next night? Will Senor Money in the Bank make his presence felt?

    WrestleMania XL
    WWE World Heavyweight Championship
    Seth “Freakin” Rollins (c) vs. Drew McIntyre

    CM Punk has been announced as the guest commentator for this match. McIntyre won the Men’s Elimination Chamber match in Perth to secure his spot at WrestleMania.

    After months of trying, will this finally be McIntyre’s opportunity to get what he’s wanted for the past couple of years?

    Will he win a title in front of a live WWE audience? Can Rollins pull out another victory out of his hat? Will CM Punk or Senor Money in the Bank play a factor in the decision or any aftermath?

    WrestleMania XL
    WWE Women’s Championship
    IYO SKY (c) vs. Bayley

    Bayley won the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble, and she picked her former Damage CTRL stablemate as her opponent after Damage CTRL seemingly turned their back on Bayley ahead of the announcement.

    After all of Damage CTRL turned on Bayley, she is out to fight on her own. Bayley and SKY should know each other’s tricks by now.

    Who has learned a new one that could be the difference in this match? Will Damage CTRL reign supreme? Can Bayley overcome the odds and start collecting payback on her former stablemates?

    WrestleMania XL
    Philly Street Fight.
    Bobby Lashley/Street Profits (Montez Ford/Angelo Dawkins) vs. Karrion Kross/Authors of Pain (Akam/Rezar)

    After The Final Testament attacked Bobby Lashley and B-Fab during the Street Profits’ WrestleMania Ladder Match qualifier on Smackdown, a Philly Street Fight is on tap.

    This will not be a pretty fight, but it’s a fitting match between these two teams. Will The Final Testament finally close the book on Lashley and the Street Profits? Will Lashley and the Street Profits write the last line of The Final Testament?

    WrestleMania XL
    WWE United States Championship
    Logan Paul (c) vs. Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens

    Logan Paul found himself in a triple threat match after demanding Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis find him competition and interfering in the #1 Contenders match between Orton and Owens.

    Paul’s brass knuckles would be considered a legal weapon in a triple threat match, since there are no disqualifications. Will the Maverick continue his high flying ways? Can Orton or Owens ground Paul to capture the United States Championship?

    WrestleMania XL
    LA Knight vs. AJ Styles 

    LA Knight gets a Mania nod after missing out last year. Styles and Knight have had issues for several months, and the time to talk is over.

    Will the “new” AJ Styles teach LA Knight a lesson? Will Knight continue his rise on Smackdown and make up for missing out last year?

    WrestleMania XL
    Undisputed WWE Universal Championship
    Roman Reigns (c) vs. Cody Rhodes

    The main event of Night One will determine what the stipulation for this match will be. The American Nightmare won back-to-back Royal Rumbles for the first time in over 20 years.

    The Rock has emerged as The Final Boss for the Bloodline. Will he need to be defeated in Night One to set a positive tone for Night Two?  

    If the Bloodline is barred from ringside stipulation, can Reigns hold on to his championship when he has to go at it alone? 

    If the match is Bloodline Rules, does Rhodes have enough to counter the entire Bloodline? Will the Ghosts of WrestleMania Past have to start digging holes and taking souls? 

    Regardless of the stipulation, will Cody Rhodes finally finish his story?
