4 potential WWE WrestleMania 41 feuds that might have already been set in motion

Even though WrestleMania 41 is eight months away, WWE has already teased a few feuds that could lead to a blockbuster match at The Grandest Stage of Them All. While that is quite some time out, the build for the big event has started in earnest already.

As the company is getting to the second part of 2024, Survivor Series is the only major premium live event in the schedule for WWE to have some blockbuster matches. After that, it will be the Royal Rumble in late January 2025 and WrestleMania 41 in mid-April 2025.

With that in mind, we take a look at four feuds that WWE has already put in motion heading into 'Mania.

#4. Randy Orton vs. Gunther

The two had their first one-on-one encounter back in late May at the King of the Ring final, where Gunther defeated Randy Orton, not without controversy though, setting the stage for a rematch later on.

This rematch will now take place on August 31 at Bash in Berlin, where Gunther will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against The Viper.

Depending on the outcome of this match, fans can expect WWE to put an end to this rivalry with part three at WrestleMania 41. If The Ring General stands tall in Berlin, we could have Orton come back and challenge for another title shot at 'Mania.

Should The Viper win, though, we could see Gunther ask for a rematch to get his title back.

#3. The Rock vs. Roman Reigns

While it was originally scheduled to take place at WrestleMania 40, the WWE Universe could finally see it happening a year later. Roman Reigns returned at SummerSlam after four months off and targeted Solo Sikoa.

We can expect the storyline to be about who the real Tribal Chief is. But, with Roman supposedly a babyface now, The Rock will return as a heel again and could side with Sikoa, eventually leading to a blockbuster match between The Tribal Chief and The Final Boss at WrestleMania 41.

#2. Liv Morgan vs. Rhea Ripley

This feud is far from over and hasn't reached its peak yet after what happened at SummerSlam. With Liv joining The Judgment Day and Rhea leaving the faction, WWE will extend the storyline for several more weeks of WWE RAW and multiple premium live events.

Ripley is out for revenge on Morgan and Dominik Mysterio after Dirty Dom's actions at SummerSlam, and fans should expect the rivalry to come to an end at WrestleMania 41 with a blockbuster match, no matter whether it would be for the Women's World Championship or not.

#1. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins

This is one bout that has been in the making ever since CM Punk's return to WWE in November 2023. Punk and Rollins' injuries, though, put the feud on hold and set the stage for Punk's rivalry with Drew McIntyre meanwhile.

At SummerSlam, the feud was re-ignited, as Seth Rollins was the Special Guest Referee for the McIntyre vs. Punk match, and Punk hit him with the GTS.

WWE is expected to continue the Punk vs. McIntyre rivalry for a few more months, but the plan is reportedly for Rollins and Punk to re-ignite their feud in late 2024 and early 2025, leading to a match at WrestleMania 41.
