Night two of WrestleMania 41 will be headlined by an Undisputed WWE Championship match pitting the newly-turned heel John Cena against the defending titleholder Cody Rhodes. Initially, Jarrett leaned toward Rhodes as his winner pick. After co-host Conrad Thompson raised counterarguments, such as Cena being advertised for post-WrestleMania dates and WrestleMania being the ideal place for a record-breaking world title win, however, Jarrett swayed in the other direction.
“If we’ve got nine months to go or seven, eight months to go [before Cena retires], we got what you’re just saying. [Cena] wins it, him and Rock are aligned. They’ll get us to SummerSlam,” Jarrett said. “Maybe he drops it back to Cody there, and then he rides off, August, September, October, November, December.”
Elsewhere on this card, IYO SKY will defend the WWE Women’s World Championship against the Women’s Elimination Chamber winner Bianca Belair and the former titleholder Rhea Ripley. In Jarrett’s eyes, that “former” label will be no more when Ripley captures victory and walks out of WrestleMania as the new champion. Conversely, Jarrett foresees the remaining two title matches — for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships and Intercontinental Championship — resulting in successful title defenses for Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez as well as Bron Breakker.
Rounding out the action is a pair of non-title matches, the first of which will see Damian Priest battle Drew McIntyre in a Sin City Street Fight. “I think Drew puts Damian through a physical, brutal match, but I think Damian gets his hand raised,” Jarrett said. Secondly, veteran performer AJ Styles will face YouTuber-turned-wrestler Logan Paul, whom Jarrett expects to bring another celebrity friend.
“I think people are saying Logan’s going over, [but] I think there’s a good little a hell of a moment for AJ to get his hand raised, but the reason he does is whatever celebrity involvement suits Logan,” Jarrett said while locking in Styles as this winner prediction.
