It was a wonderful night of wrestling, but one that has passed. Now that\u00a0<em>SummerSlam<\/em> is in everyone\u2019s minds, the time has come to think about <strong><em>WrestleMania<\/em><\/strong> <em><strong>41<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, \u2018Mania&#8217; is nine months away, but that doesn\u2019t mean we can&#8217;t think about what could be. According to reports, <strong>Triple H<\/strong> has his plans for <em>WrestleMania<\/em>, so let\u2019s think about what &#8220;The Game&#8221; might have in store for <em>WrestleMania 41<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Rock vs. Roman Reigns <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/58PpN0_VzQg?si=M5BgHPqIRXdspXo1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the big-money program that is going to headline <em>WrestleMania<\/em>. For a few years, <strong>The Rock<\/strong> and\u00a0<strong>Roman Reigns<\/strong> have been linked, but WWE has been unable to pull the trigger. For a few weeks, it looked as if we might get this matchup at <em><strong>WrestleMania XL<\/strong><\/em>, but WWE and the fans wanted <strong> Cody Rhodes<\/strong> to finish his story.<\/p>\n<p>During their tag match, at <em>WrestleMania<\/em>, WWE sowed the idea of dissent between the two. Now that Roman has turned face the &#8216;Final Boss&#8217; should appear to take over <strong>The Bloodline<\/strong>. It is a story that has been in the works for a while now and would be a perfect sell for <em>WrestleMania<\/em> in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gunther vs. John Cena<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yzes2Czv-4M?si=p2RUn9be6Gat2p4O\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gunther<\/strong> should be at the beginning of a very lengthy championship reign. Anytime he has held gold before it lasted a long time and there is no doubt that WWE will push him like this again. Therefore, whoever he faces at <em>WrestleMania<\/em> will take the loss, and who better to do that than &#8216;The Doctor of Thuganomics?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><strong>John Cena<\/strong>\u2019s retirement tour will take him toward the World Championship at some point. He is one away from <strong>Ric Flair&#8217;s<\/strong> record and he will want to achieve that before he leaves. What better way to have him go for it than at <em>WrestleMania<\/em>?<\/p>\n<p>It would be a great build towards they night one main event and Gunther\u2019s victory would establish him as an all-time great.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W7AQkOso7NU?si=kO7mWAzsy79j6TEh\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This writer is going to keep mentioning this pairing until he is right, and he will be right&#8230; at some point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Randy Orton<\/strong> and Rhodes have been linked with one another since Orton&#8217;s return. They have been on the same side, but it&#8217;s only a matter of time before Orton turns on Rhodes. It\u2019s in his DNA to turn on his partners and frankly, it would be great to see a heel Orton once again.<\/p>\n<p>Randy was Rhode&#8217;s mentor. He took him under his wing, and they did well together in the group <strong>Legacy<\/strong>. Seeing them go full circle and take each other on at <em>WrestleMania <\/em>would be the perfect bookend to their relationship.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gKpmPYpE5UU?si=udN07D1GjuLZdSKx\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is going to be the match a year in the making. <strong>Seth Rollins<\/strong> and <strong>CM Punk<\/strong> were set to do battle at <em>WrestleMania Xl<\/em>\u00a0before an unfortunate injury sidelines Punk. <strong>Drew McIntyre<\/strong> was slotted into a feud with Punk in the meantime, but it looks like WWE is ready to light a fire under Punk and Rollins again.<\/p>\n<p>Rollins was attacked by <strong>Bronson Reed<\/strong> and put on the shelf again, so it looks like WWE is wanting to save this program for <em>WrestleMania<\/em>. It would be the absolute right call as these men have done a great job keeping fans invested and they deserve the biggest stage to finally settle their differences.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RNP3lbyKwWs?si=dBmfI_5qRupFnw3z\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If WWE can remain patient this will be a massive match. This summer had already been filled with fantastic segments featuring <strong>Dominik Mysterio<\/strong>, <strong>Rhea Ripley<\/strong>, and<strong> Liv Morgan<\/strong>. The lead-up to <i>SummerSlam <\/i>was great and the payoff of Mysterio turning heel was the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of investment in this angle and if played off right it could be white hot by <em>WrestleMania<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Holding off until <em>WrestleMania<\/em> might prove difficult, but it would be the right call. Ripley trying to get her hands on Morgan and Mysterio only to be consistently thwarted would add to the payoff at <em>WrestleMania<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>WWE could even have Rhea win the Royal Rumble thus guaranteeing a championship match at <em>WrestleMania<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Usos vs. Guerillas of Destiny <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AGuMC50T2d4?si=Xx8AW5qFulSdEvU_\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that these two teams will eventually face each other. When <strong>G.O.D.<\/strong> won the WWE Tag Team Championships it was almost guaranteed that there would be a showdown between the two teams. It shouldn\u2019t be that hard to put <strong>The Usos<\/strong> back together, more than likely to aid Roman Reigns and when they do this needs to happen.<\/p>\n<p>This will be one of the biggest tag team matches of all time. The <strong>Guerillas of Destiny<\/strong> will no doubt run roughshod through the tag division. That will set up the Uso\u2019s to rejoin and take on their family members. It will be a great match and a marquee contest for <em>WrestleMania<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ffddzEBVWQw?si=d04msux2VB5NtaoW\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The partnership of <strong>Nia Jax<\/strong> and <strong>Tiffany Stratton<\/strong> is good for now, but it will only be a matter of time before Tiffy cashes in on her compatriot. WWE would be wise to let this turn fester for a while before going through with it, but rest assured this turn will happen.<\/p>\n<p>Once Tiffy gets her hands on gold there are plenty of women who could challenge her, but for <em>WrestleMania,<\/em>\u00a0<strong>Charlotte Flair<\/strong> would be the best choice, hands down. Charlotte has been off for a while but should be ready to go come <em>WrestleMania<\/em>. It would be a battle of the young lioness trying to knock off the woman at the top.<\/p>\n<h3>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/h3>\n<p><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><\/em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/span><\/em><\/a><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
