The Rock’s Return at WWE WrestleMania 40 has left all fans buzzing around his potential match at WWE WrestleMania 41.
But recently rumors were surrounding the wrestling world with news of the Rock skipping WrestleMania 41 due to his movie project commitments.
Though Rock disapproved of all the rumors, we still aren’t sure if he’ll face Cody Rhodes at WWE WrestleMania 41 for the undisputed WWE championship.
Here are 5 alternatives for the WWE WrestleMania 41 main event if the Rock vs. Cody Rhodes doesn’t happen.
1) Cody Rhodes vs. Randy OrtonÂ

Cody has been the center of attention in WWE since his WrestleMania win against Roman Reigns, and he shares a good bond with Randy Orton, who guided him in his early days of WWE.
Now that Kevin Owens has turned heel, there are chances that The Viper may too turn heel on his friend Cody, and the reason for this can be the developing bond between Cody and Roman.
Randy’s heel turn can lead to a big fight between the two, and the final showdown of the fight can take place at WrestleMania 41.
2) Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns (3)
Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns title bout has been one of the greatest in the history of WWE.
We have already seen two WrestleMania main events between these two and expect another chapter in their long rivalry at WrestleMania 2025.
WWE can twist up the things in their storyline by making Roman Reigns the new babyface of the company and Cody the new heel turn.
3) Gunther vs Brock LesnarÂ

The first time we saw these two big monsters sharing the WWE ring was at WWE Royal Rumble 2022, and now in 2024, the rumors for another faceoff between these two are buzzing all around.
Brock Lesnar has been reported to return to WWE anytime soon, and there can’t be a better comeback than facing Gunther for the world heavyweight championship at WWE WrestleMania 41.
4) John Cena vs. Gunther
John Cena, the forever babyface of WWE, is set to mark his final WWE run in 2025, with major reports suggesting John Cena to win the Royal Rumble match. We can expect him to win his 17th world championship at WrestleMania.
If John Cena manages to win the Royal Rumble match, then there are strong chances that he’ll face Gunther as his challenger, as WWE has already booked the undisputed championship storyline around Cody, Roman, and The Rock.
5) CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve AustinÂ

This match doesn’t make any sense for now, as WWE hasn’t hinted at it, but this is more of a dream match for all the WWE fans.
These two icons are our childhood favorites, and a clash between these two at WrestleMania can add more excitement to the event.
The confirmation of The Rock’s involvement at WrestleMania 41 seems unclear, so these are the 5 alternatives for the main event of WrestleMania 2025.
