A Stacked Women’s WrestleMania 41 Card and More

As with every WrestleMania, WWE ensures a packed, entertaining two-night spectacle with amazing matches. This year is no different, as WrestleMania 41 is taking place in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium on April 19-20. In all, four matches will feature female superstars, as three will have championships on the line. That being said, here is a look at those matches (and something extra).

Jade Cargill Vs. Naomi (Night One)

If one is a fan of storytelling in WWE or wrestling in general, this is the match to watch. Back in November 2024, Jade Cargill was attacked backstage on SmackDown and was subsequently out for months. The mystery and theories arose as to who attacked Cargill.

Ahead of the Women’s Elimination Chamber Match in March, Cargill attacked Naomi as Bianca Belair (more on her later) watched inside the pod in shock. Belair would confront Naomi on the SmackDown after the Elimination Chamber PLE (Premium Live Event). Naomi would reveal that she was the attacker, becoming a heel. Here, Cargill and Naomi have gone after one another as the build has been great.

For Cargill, it is her first-ever WrestleMania singles match as it is appearance number seven for Naomi (not including pre-shows). She, Cargill, and Naomi won in a six-woman tag match versus Damage CTRL (Kairi Sane, Asuka, and Dakota Kai) last year at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. All things considered, what a difference a year makes. Expect this match to be equally physical and personal.

Tiffany Stratton (c) Vs. Charlotte Flair (Night One – WWE Women’s Championship)

When Charlotte Flair won the Royal Rumble PLE in February, all signs pointed toward Tiffany Stratton and her WWE Women’s Championship. Flair made it official, choosing Stratton almost two weeks after the Royal Rumble on an episode of SmackDown. When it comes to the build, interesting and deeply personal come to mind. Whether on the microphone or in a parking lot, both superstars have taken it to another level.

It will be Stratton’s first (and certainly not last) WrestleMania while this is Flair’s eighth appearance at the “Showcase of the Immortals”. Additionally, every time Flair has appeared in a WrestleMania, it has been for a championship.

Simply put, a case can be made that Flair is”The Queen” of WrestleMania, looking to add championship No. 15 to her Hall of Fame resume. For Stratton, she is looking to make it “Tiffy Time” in Vegas against Flair.

Rhea Ripley Vs. IYO SKY (c) Vs. Bianca Belair (Night Two – Women’s World Championship)

Belair earned her way to a WWE Women’s World Championship, winning the aforementioned Women’s Elimination Chamber match. At that point, Rhea Ripley was the champion as she defeated Liv Morgan on an episode of Monday Night Raw in January.

However, Ripley would face IYO SKY for the championship on Raw in March, as Belair made an appearance ringside during the match. Sky would defeat Ripley, but Ripley would invoke her rematch clause. She would get that rematch against SKY as Raw General Manager Adam Pearce made Belair the special guest referee. Ultimately, the match ended in a no-contest, as Pearce made it a triple-threat match.

There is no shortage of tension and experience between all three superstars. This is Belair’s fifth appearance, number six for Ripley, and SKY’s second straight WrestleMania appearance as champion. Here, do not be shocked if the match between Cargill and Naomi becomes a factor, given the history of Belair with both superstars.

Bayley and Lyra Valkyria Vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez (Night Two – Women’s Tag Team Championship)

This match features a decorated tag team in Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, who are three-time Women’s Tag Team champions. Their opponents are champions in their own right, including the current Women’s Intercontinental champion Lyra Valkyria and former WWE Women’s Champion and Tag Team Champion Bayley.

Valkyria and Bayley won the Women’s Tag Team Gauntlet on SmackDown to earn this opportunity. The question is, can Valkyria and “The Role Model” pull off the win, or will Morgan and Rodriguez continue their reign?

…One More Thing

WrestleMania 41 is not the only WWE PLE taking place in as NXT Stand and Deliver will happen on Saturday, April 19, at the T-Mobile Arena. There are two women’s matches on the card, both with championships on the line. First, a ladder match for the NXT Women’s North American Championship as Zaria, Kelani Jordan, Sol Roca, Izzy Dame, Lola Vice, and Thea Hail vie for the gold.

The NXT Women’s Championship will be on the line as champion Stephanie Vaquer defends the championship against Giulia, Jordynne Grace, and Jaida Parker. Without question, this match has the main event written all over it.

As a wrestling fan, buckle in and enjoy!
