4 absent WWE stars who will likely have a WrestleMania 41 match

As WrestleMania 41 grows closer, many fans begin to speculate which matches will be added to the card and which WWE Superstars will be featured. It's already given that stars who have been active in the past year will join the line-up, but those who have been absent might also land a spot at The Show of Shows.

WWE WrestleMania 41 will be held at the Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, Las Vegas from April 19 and 20, 2025. Stars like Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, John Cena, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, The Usos, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins are expected to be present for the premium live event after having a big 2024. However, some stars who have been absent for the majority of the past year or are just currently absent can also appear during the event.

For this list, we will look at four absent WWE Superstars who will likely be part of a WrestleMania 41 match:

#4. The Rock is expected to be involved in The Bloodline storyline again on WrestleMania 41

The Rock's inclusion in this year's WrestleMania brought much mainstream media attention as well as intrigue and entertainment. He portrayed a heel perfectly and made it clear that The Final Boss wasn't happy when Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns teamed up at Bad Blood this year.

It has been heavily reported that The Brahma Bull will likely appear at this year's Show of Shows, with some even stating he might wrestle in a Triple Threat Match against Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.

#3. Charlotte Flair might return on WWE television soon

Charlotte Flair hasn't been on television since December 2023 after sustaining an injury on SmackDown during a match against Asuka. Many thought she might return last year after sharing her road to recovery on social media, but it seems like it might happen in 2025 instead.

It has been recently reported that The Queen is preparing for her WWE return and might even do so with some changes in her presentation. Even if she has been absent for the past year, she will most likely be present at WrestleMania this year.

#2. Randy Orton might appear on the first premium live event of 2025

After Kevin Owens delivered a devastating Piledriver to Randy Orton in November last year, the latter hasn't been on television since. Fortunately, The Viper is not truly injured and might even return on-screen very soon.

As per the latest reports from WrestleVotes during a Live Q&A on Backstage Pass, The Apex Predator might return by Royal Rumble on February 1 and if not, possibly earlier. With this in mind, it's more than likely he will be in action at WrestleMania 41.

#1. Becky Lynch is advertised for WWE RAW's Netflix premiere

Becky Lynch was officially a free agent in June after deciding not to renew her contract and has since spent more time with her family, especially with her daughter, Roux. However, a major hint was recently dropped by the company.

Despite still not appearing on television since her May 2024 match against Liv Morgan on the Monday show, Lynch was featured in RAW's Netflix premiere commercial. The Man is one of the top stars in both women's and men's divisions, so it wouldn't be a surprise if she will be present for WrestleMania 41.
