WWE WrestleMania 41 ended on a shocking note as John Cena won the WWE Championship title for a record 17th time. WrestleMania 41 kicked off on Saturday, April 19, in Las Vegas with a night packed full of action, surprises, and showdowns worthy of Sin City. The seven-match card was headlined by a dramatic Triple Threat main event featuring Roman Reigns, CM Punk and Seth Rollins — with Paul Heyman's loyalty taking centre stage.
Jey Uso won his first world title by submitting Gunther, while Tiffany Stratton retained her Women's Championship against Charlotte. The New Day claimed their 11th tag team title, and Jacob Fatu defeated LA Knight for the U.S. Championship. Jade Cargill and Naomi made history with the first non-title women's singles match at WrestleMania.
In the main event, Paul Heyman betrayed both Roman Reigns and CM Punk, helping Seth Rollins score his second WrestleMania main event win — and another pinfall over Reigns.
WWE WrestleMania 41 Results: Day 1 (April 19)
Gunther vs Jey Uso
Jey Uso stunned the WrestleMania 41 crowd by making Gunther submit to win the World Heavyweight Championship at Allegiant Stadium. Despite absorbing brutal offence — including vicious chops and a title belt shot — Uso battled back with a powerbomb, a spear, three Uso Splashes, and a sleeper hold to force The Ring General to tap.
Capping off his Royal Rumble momentum, Uso silenced the doubters and celebrated his first world title win with brother Jimmy as the Vegas crowd erupted.
The New Day vs The War Raiders
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods silenced critics by defeating The War Raiders to reclaim the World Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 41. Despite early dominance from Erik and Ivar, including a crushing slam/splash combo, The New Day turned the tide with smart teamwork and precision. After thwarting a War Machine attempt, Kingston and Woods sealed the win with a devastating assisted Double Stomp, marking their 11th tag title reign.
Jade Cargill vs Naomi
The rivals engaged in a fierce battle with Naomi's aggression coming out in full force. However, with a combination of a Jackhammer and Jaded Cargill pinned Naomi to emerge as the winner.
Tiffany Stranton vs Charlotte Flair
Stranton had to defend the title against her idol Flair, whom she had been involved with in a rivalry for a few weeks. The wrestler managed to achieve her objectives with ease.
Seth Rollins vs CM Punk vs Roman Reigns
Rollins managed to emerge as the winner, thanks to Paul Heyman's betrayal. Heyman handed the steel chair to Punk first and then turned against Reigns when he was attacking Rollins. Heyman's role in Rollins' victory will be remembered by fans for a long time.
