WrestleMania 41, WWE’s grandest annual spectacle, has officially kicked off at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 2025 edition is historic for several reasons: it marks the first WrestleMania to stream live on Netflix globally, features the much-anticipated main event debut of CM Punk, and is set to be John Cena’s final WrestleMania appearance as he eyes a record-breaking 17th world title before retiring at the end of the year.
