Witrh WWE WrestleMania 41 hitting Las Vegas this weekend, there’s plenty of intrigue as to what could go down at the show of shows.
While there are many question marks, there are also plenty of things that have been confirmed in advance of the festivities.
Here are six confirmed plans you can expect to see at WrestleMania.
6. Nine Hour Run-Time
WrestleMania 41 is currently listed on Peacock as starting at 4pm EST on Saturday, with the main show set to begin at 7pm EST.
This would seemingly imply that the show will feature a three hour pre-show instead of the usual two hour pre-show for major premium live events.
The show is listed in total as lasting for nine hours in total, which likely also includes the post-show.
WrestleMania night one is set to be headlined by a Triple Threat match between Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk, while Cody Rhodes and John Cena’s Undisputed WWE Championship clash will main event night two.

5. 5am Call Time For Stand & Deliver
Despite the weekends events occurring in Las Vegas, that doesn’t mean that responsibilities to WWE won’t come first – as highlighted by one very early start time.
Originally the start time for NXT Stand & Deliver was listed for late morning but was recently locked in for a final start time of 9:30am locally.
Recently it was reported that subsequently the call time for the NXT stars set for Stand & Deliver is quite early – 5am!
The WWE NXT premium live event is also set to air on Peacock and will feature a total of seven matches including one on the pre-show.

4. Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre Is A Street Fight
At time of writing, only one match on the WWE WrestleMania 41 card features a stipulation – Damian Priest taking on Drew McIntyre in a Street Fight.
While their feud has been heating up over recent weeks, the stipulation also lends to an interesting opportunity for interference.
It should also mean some brawling in and about Las Vegas in what could be actually an incredibly memorable match in the end.
Their match may not be for a title at WrestleMania 41 but given the brutality each man has already demonstrated they’re capable of, this match still has high stakes.

3. Saturday’s Main Event – Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk
After speaking about the goal of being in the main event of WrestleMania for years – CM Punk has finally done it.
It was confirmed that WWE WrestleMania 41 night one on Saturday will indeed be headlined by the enormous Triple Threat match between Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns vs CM Punk.
With longstanding hatred between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns bubbling back up, it seems that Rollins is continuing to play mind games with Reigns.
Rollins even turned the situation into one in which Paul Heyman now owes Rollins a favor, so there are multiple directions the night one main event could take.

2. Paul Heyman Will Accompany CM Punk
After Paul Heyman petitioned CM Punk for help to join the OG Bloodline for the Survivor Series WarGames match, Punk made it clear there was a future ‘favor’ expected in return.
When the contract for the Triple Threat match was signed and it was revealed that it would indeed be the main event of WWE WrestleMania 41 night one, Punk said that he was grateful but the favor had not yet been repaid.
Later, Punk would ask Paul Heyman to accompany him to the ring for the main event as the favor and Heyman agreed. Roman Reigns was not pleased, and it would later explode and Reigns would even get physical, shoving Heyman down.
Now that it seems there is truly a breakdown in the relationship between the Tribal Chief and his Wiseman, Heyman will seemingly be pledging full support to CM Punk for Saturday night’s main event… unless that new favor to Seth Rollins comes back around.

1. Sunday Will Be Headlined By Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena
As expected, the official main event for WrestleMania 41 night two on Sunday will be Cody Rhodes defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against John Cena.
Making his return to WWE and declaring that he would capture his 17th World Championship prior to departing his farewell tour, Cena continues to assert he will win.
Cody Rhodes on the other hand is determined to hang on to his Undisputed WWE Championship not only for himself, but for the fans as well, after Cena has vowed to retire with the title and take it with him.
