WrestleMania 41 Night 2: Cody Rhodes Battles Heel John Cena, Orton’s Open Challenge Builds Hype
Grudge matches, surprise twists, and title bouts dominate Night 2 as WWE sets the stage for an explosive conclusion to WrestleMania 41.
WrestleMania 41 kicked off with electrifying moments and shocking betrayals, setting the tone for what’s shaping up to be one of WWE’s most memorable events in recent history. The opening night reached a dramatic peak when Paul Heyman betrayed both Roman Reigns and CM Punk during the triple threat main event, siding with Seth Rollins and helping him secure a monumental victory. The match is already being hailed as a WrestleMania classic.
Another major highlight was 2025 Royal Rumble winner Jey Uso defeating Gunther to claim the World Heavyweight Championship, leaving fans stunned. Meanwhile, Tiffany Stratton held her ground against fellow Rumble winner Charlotte Flair to retain the WWE Women’s Championship in a hard-fought contest.
With the dust barely settled, all eyes now turn to Night 2 of WrestleMania 41, where the Undisputed WWE Championship will be on the line.

This marquee matchup is poised to be a defining moment in Rhodes’ title reign.
The Women’s World Championship will also feature a blockbuster triple threat as current champion Iyo Sky defends against 2025 Royal Rumble winner Bianca Belair and the relentless Rhea Ripley, who’s eyeing redemption.
