We Asked WWE 2K25 for Wrestlemania 41 Predictions and Received Some Surprising Results

It’s Wrestlemania week and, with two nights of action that are difficult to predict, we secured predictions from WWE 2K25 for the Showcase of Immortals—and there were some eyebrow-inducing moments.

With all the big titles on the line and some of the biggest names in sports entertainment taking center stage, Wrestlemania 41 in Las Vegas could be one of the biggest in history—despite the high bar set 12 months ago at Wrestlemania 40.

Will Cody Rhodes’ story continue, or will John Cena secure a record-breaking title win? Will Jey Uso do the impossible to dethrone Gunther? Will CM Punk live out his Wrestlemania dream with a triple-threat victory against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins? We have the answer to all those questions and more below thanks to WWE 2K25.

Cody Rhodes vs John Cena

Undisputed WWE Championship

John Cena’s quest for a record-breaking 17th world title will persist beyond Wrestlemania 41, according to our WWE 2K25 prediction, which backs Cody Rhodes’ spell leading the WWE to continue into a second year.

Cena started the match on the front foot, inflicting significant damage to Rhodes’ body outside the ring, and hit a Five-Knuckle Shuffle to put Rhodes on the edge. However, he was unable to land an Attitude Adjustment, giving Rhodes the opportunity to take control.

Rhodes hit his own finisher to put Cena on the edge, though he kicked out dramatically at two, but Rhodes did not let up the pursuit and an unorthodox missile dropkick was enough to put Cena away and retain the title.

Prediction: Rhodes victory by pinfall.

Roman Reigns vs CM Punk vs Seth Rollins

Roman Reigns will secure a famous victory at Wrestlemania 41 against Seth Rollins and CM Punk, according to WWE 2K25, after a triple-threat match that will live long in the memory.

It didn’t take long for weapons to appear, with Punk grabbing a steel chair and Reigns reaching for a baseball bat early on, but it was Rollins who secured first blood with a kick to Reigns’ face that busted the OTC wide open.

Rollins followed up by dodging a Spear from Reigns and following it with a Stomp, but Punk was on hand to break it up with a spot that Logan Paul would love—bringing a giant Prime bottle into the ring and throwing it to disrupt the pinfall.

Punk then looked to be in control, hitting a GTS on Rollins, who kicked out, but it was enough to put Rollins out of commission. However, Reigns seized the opportunity to hit Punk with a Spear and got the three-count for a Mania victory.

Prediction: Reigns victory by pinfall.

Gunther vs Jey Uso

World Heavyweight Championship

In perhaps the boldest prediction of them all, WWE 2K25 is backing Jey Uso to claim the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther in a dominant victory where the Ring General barely managed to string two moves together.

Uso started strong, targeting Gunther’s torso, and, after reversing a Suplex attempt, repeatedly chained moves together without giving Gunther any opportunity to catch his breath. By the time the Spear came around to finish things off, Gunther had already been on his last legs for a while.

Prediction: Uso victory by pinfall.

AJ Styles vs Logan Paul

WWE 2K25 predicts back-to-back Wrestlemania victories for Logan Paul, following a triple threat triumph against Kevin Owens and Randy Orton last year, with a controversial win over AJ Styles that more than likely opens up an extended feud.

Paul started off strong, issuing blows to the back and a moonsault off the top rope to inflict damage, but Styles soon grew into the match—a big highlight witnessed when he took to the top rope and laid Paul out with a fierce clothesline outside the ring.

It looked like Styles was in control, again taking to the top rope for a dropkick to Paul’s torso and the Phenomenal Forearm, but Paul kicked out at two. Soon after, Paul took the pad off the turnbuckle, which ended up being significant.

Styles was edging to victory and put Paul into a submission hold, but the referee was busy replacing the pad on the turnbuckle, and when he did turn around, Paul had kicked out. He laid Styles down on the mat and executed a frogsplash from the top rope that secured the win via pinfall.

Prediction: Paul victory by pinfall.

Tiffany Stratton vs Charlotte Flair

WWE Women’s Championship

Surely to be one of the most unpopular predictions, WWE 2K25 is backing Charlotte Flair to take the WWE Women’s Championship from the clutches of Tiffany Stratton—who will be left ruing missed opportunities.

Stratton dominated from the off, inflicting significant damage to Flair in and out of the ring, but she went for the pinfall too early and allowed Flair to respond—which she did swiftly with a fierce strike to Stratton’s face that drew blood.

Clearly intent on damaging her opponent, Flair had Stratton at her mercy in the Figure Four hold but decided to release early, though that didn’t open the door for Stratton to respond. By this stage, it was Flair’s to lose and she made no mistake, securing the title.

Prediction: Flair victory by pinfall.

Jade Cargill vs Naomi

It’s Naomi who picks up a win against Jade Cargill to end to feud, according to WWE 2K25, following a match where both participants had chances for victory.

Cargill was quickest out of the blocks but couldn’t capitalize, with a reversal from Naomi switching momentum. However, she attempted a pinfall too quickly, leading to an easy kick out, but she continued on the front foot to put Cargill in the Feel the Glow hold, which Cargill escaped from.

Cargill then pushed towards a triumph, hitting Jaded on Naomi that looked to have sealed the deal, but Naomi kicked out a two, before then finding control again and putting Cargill into another Feel the Glow, which Cargill tapped out to.

Prediction: Naomi victory by submission.

IYO SKY vs Bianca Belair vs Rhea Ripley

Women’s World Championship

The triple-threat clash for the Women’s World Championship will steal the show at Wrestlemania 41, according to WWE 2K25, which is backing Rhea Ripley to reclaim the title in a match for the ages.

All three participants had chances to win, hitting numerous finishers on each other but seeing each pinfall attempt broken up, before the match shifted to a fierce brawl outside the ring to give fans a close-up look at the assault.

Everything from a kendo stick to a sledgehammer was used, with eye-catching moments including Bianca Belair hitting a KOD on Iyo Sky near the entrance ramp, with the effects of the battle clear to see on the bodies of the trio.

Belair looked to be on the path to victory after another KOD inside the ring on Sky but the defending champion rolled out of harm’s way outside the ring to catch her breath. This opened the door for Ripley though, who hit the Riptide on Belair to secure the three count.

Prediction: Ripley victory by pinfall.

Rey Mysterio vs El Grande Americano

The not-so-mysterious El Grande Americano will secure a famous victory over fellow luchadore Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania 41, according to WWE 2K25.

Hall of Famer Mysterio was strong from the off, including into a springboard moonsault onto his mysterious masked opponent who definitely isn’t Chad Gable, but Americano took control; putting Mysterio in an ankle lock, which he released early, followed by a moonsault off the top rope that led to a Mysterio kickout at two.

The decisive moment came after Mysterio attempted to retake control, lifting American up for a powerbomb that would surely be followed by a 619, but Americano reversed the move, hitting Mysterio with a flurry of moves before forcing the tap out with another ankle lock.

They exchange blows in the middle of the ring, Americano reverses Mysterio powerbomb, hit with a flurry of blows before putting him into another ankle lock, which Mysterio tapped to.

Prediction: Americano victory by submission.

Bron Breakker vs Penta vs Dominik Mysterio vs Finn Balor

Intercontinental Championship

According to WWE 2K25, Bron Breakker will retain the Intercontinental Championship in a Wrestlemania classic. Judging by what was witnessed in the ring, this may spell the end of Judgement Day as we know it.

It quickly became apparent Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor would not be working together, the latter instead partnering with Penta to hit Mysterio with a double team, before Balor inadvertently blocked Mysterio’s 619 attempt on Penta shortly after.

Balor then attempted a pin on Mysterio after taking out Penta, which was kicked out at one, with Mysterio continuing to be on the receiving end of the punishment as a strike from Breakker drew blood shortly after.

The carnage continued with a flurry of eye-catching moments, with Breakker hitting a spear on Penta but then being struck by a thrown kendo stick from Balor, who hit his finisher and went for the pin, but the defending champion kicked out at two.

Mysterio came agonizingly close to victory after a 619 on Balor, which bust him open, but his pin attempt was disrupted, while outside the ring Breakker hit a fierce spear on Penta to inflict serious damge.

Back in the ring, Mysterio and Balor were too busy fighting to take notice of Breakker and Penta, who hit another spear and secured the three count to retain the title.

Prediction: Breakker victory by pinfall.

Drew McIntyre vs Damian Priest

It’s another embarrassing Wrestlemania moment for Drew McIntyre, according to WWE 2K25, as Damian Priest will again leave the Scottish warrior with egg on his face.

McIntyre started on the front foot, seeing an early pinfall attempt easily kicked out of and Priest escaping from a Crossface, with Priest then finding his tempo and inflicting his own punishment on Priest—including a submission hold of his own.

By this stage, McIntyre was looking to be in a bad shape and unable to refind his rhythm and the writing was on the wall when Priest hit a South of Heaven chokeslam, which led to a three count.

Prediction: Priest victory by pinfall.

LA Knight vs Jacob Fatu

United States Championship

LA Knight’s spell as United States Championship will come to a close at Wrestlemania 41, according to WWE 2K25, after a brutal display from Jacob Fatu.

The Samoan Werewolf started on the front foot, utilizing several headbutts to stun Knight, but the defending champion soon responded, emerging triumphant when exchanging blows in the middle of the ring that led to Knight’s best chance of victory.

Knight hit a big elbow on Fatu, who kicked out at two, and the challenger then reversed Knight’s BFT attempt to take control, throwing Knight outside of the ring and hitting a powerbomb. Back in the ring, Fatu struck a spear, then hit a clothesline off the top rope followed by a pin attempt, but Knight broke out at two.

It started to look like nothing could take Knight out, who was busted open by a flurry of Fatu headbutts and a destroyer DDT, but he still kicked out at two. The end was in sight though and, after Fatu hit a moonsault off the top rope, it was curtains for the defending champion.

Prediction: Fatu victory by pinfall.

The War Raiders vs The New Day

WWE World Tag Team Championship

The New Day’s quest for tag-team glory will fall short at Wrestlemania 41, according to WWE 2K25, with the War Raiders successfully defending their crown.

Kofi Kingston initially started strong against Erik but a tag with Ivar led to a double team, which put Kingston on the back foot. The War Raiders continued to tag in-and-out, executing several double team moves on Kingston, with Woods on hand to break up a pinfall attempt but Kingston could finally tag him into the game.

That didn’t break the momentum, however, as the War Raiders continuing to dominate with double teams, including hitting Ragnarok on Woods, though Kingston broke up the initial pin attempt.

That was only in vein though as Ivar continued to dominate, stunning Woods after a fresh flurry of moves and easily securing the pinfall.

Prediction:

Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez vs Bayley & Lyra Valkyria

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship

Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez will have their Wrestlemania moment, according to WWE 2K25, after an all-time classic tag team match against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria.

Valkyria started strong, exchanging tags with Bayley to inflict early punishment on Morgan, but a snap DDT by Bayley was followed by a taunt, which allowed Morgan to make a hot tag to Rodriguez.

Rodriguez then took control, dominating against Valkyria after another tag before taking the punishment to Bayley, hitting her signature but seeing a finisher attempt reversed. This opened the door for Bayley, who struck a Belly-to-Bayley followed by a Rose Plant but Morgan rushed in to break up the pinfall.

Then it was Morgan’s turn to take control, dominating against Bayley and hitting Oblivion on the Role Model, but Valkyria broke up the pin. This was significant, however, as she was then timed out of interfing again.

A Codebreaker from the middle rope to Bayley, after the pair exchanging blows outside the ring, was enough for a successful defence, with the three count confirming their reign as champions would continue.

Prediction: Morgan & Rodriguez victory by pinfall.
