We already know what’s closing out WrestleMania 41—but now we’ve got a better idea of what’s kicking it off.

According to WrestleVotes, WWE has reportedly locked in the opening matches for both nights of WrestleMania 41 this weekend at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and they’re starting strong on both ends.

On Saturday, April 19, GUNTHER vs. “Main Event” Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship is expected to open the show. That match puts one of WWE’s most dominant champions against a fan favorite looking to finally live up to his nickname.

For night two on Sunday, April 20, WWE is expected to start things off with a triple threat match for the WWE Women’s World Championship, featuring IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair—a massive collision between three of the most respected names in the women’s division.

As previously reported, night one’s main event will feature Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk, with Paul Heyman in the mix. Night two will close out with Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

WrestleMania is all about setting the tone early and sending fans home on a high—and WWE looks set to deliver on both.
