We are less than 50 days away from the Showcase of Immortals, WrestleMania 41. So far, four major matches have been announced for the show.
Cody Rhodes will defend the WWE Undisputed Championship against John Cena. Gunther will put his World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Jey Uso. On the women’s side of things, Charlotte Flair will challenge Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s Title, and Bianca Belair will challenge newly crowned Women’s World Champion IYO SKY.
Recently, TKO President Mark Shapiro was interviewed at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference. During the interview, Shapiro shared his excitement about WrestleMania 41.
“I’ll tell you this though, when you’re front page on the ESPN app, you’re above the fold and that video of The Rock and (John) Cena and Cody (Rhodes), you’re now making more of a cultural impact than you have historically. Especially when it’s a competitor that carries the events so I was excited to see that… Paul (Levesque) and his creative team are second to none… You’ll be amazed at the surprises that are about to come your way at WrestleMania in Las Vegas.” [H/T POST Wrestling]
While Shapiro didn’t give away any spoilers, he is very excited. The TKO President also shared that the entire WrestleMania weekend will also be a great time to negotiate new deals.
“WrestleMania, I can’t give away any plotlines. I wouldn’t make it off this stage. Somebody from Paul’s team would be here to knock me out. But, it’s gonna be very exciting. I mean, Vegas is gonna be incredible. The whole weekend is just gonna be a spectacle. In the same way or the same vein the Sphere was a spectacle for the UFC and 306. It’s gonna be a great story for us and always a great time to be negotiating new deals,” Mark Shapiro said.
