Mania 41 is only three months away and rumors surrounding this event are already touching the sky. Multiple championship matches have already been rumored for the show. 16 times World Champion John Cena is rumored to compete for his 17th title, Cody Rhodes is also heavily rumored to face The Rock.
But two matches that seem to be confirmed now were planned for the Grandest Stage of Them All are now highly unlikely. According to reports from PWInsider Elite, Mania 41 was scheduled to host the Women’s World Championship match between Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley.
Revealed: Two Originally Planned Matches for WrestleMania 41 That Are Possibly Scrapped
PWInsider Elite also claimed that the show also had big plans to feature the dream match between CM Punk and Seth Rollins. This match was reportedly scheduled for WrestleMania 40, but Punk got injured at Royal Rumble 2024 and he missed WrestleMania 40 due to this injury. Here is the report by PWInsider Elite;
Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan and Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk was previously set for WrestleMania 41
"At one point, Punk vs. Rollins and Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley were penciled in for potential Wrestlemania 41 bouts but were shifted to tonight's Raw premiere, which shows how important tonight's Netflix premiere was internally."
These matches have been taken out from WrestleMania 41 card as they were moved to Netflix RAW Premiere
Both of these matches had been moved to Netflix RAW Premiere and both matches were really excellent. Fans are pretty much satisfied after the performances by involved stars. These matches were definitely WrestleMania standard and they could easily fit into Mania 41. Moving such big matches to Netflix RAW Premiere shows how much WWE valued this show.
But now, these two matches are highly unlikely as Mania 41 is more than three months away and continuing these two feuds for such a long time would have make things boring, especially Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan since feud is continuing since last year. Recent reports suggest that all of these wrestlers are planned for different matches at WrestleMania 41.
