WrestleMania 41: The big business questions for WWE's Las Vegas showcase

This year's WrestleMania comes with plenty of big business questions for TKO Group Holdings, parent company to the WWE. (Georgiana Dallas/WWE via Getty Images) (WWE via Getty Images) WrestleMania week is officially underway. But will the event be a commercial smash for TKO? Drawing a massive stadium audience is second nature for WWE at these major shows, but there are still some big business questions hanging over this year's event, particularly given the changed landscape following the TKO merger and the massive Netflix deal. Advertisement Here are the questions I'll be keeping an eye on this weekend to see whether WrestleMania 41 really pays off for WWE and TKO. Does The Rock show up? Whether you know him as 'The People's Champ' or 'The Final Boss,' there's no denying that Dwayne Johnson is seriously big business for WWE (hence TKO inviting him to join its board of directors in 2024). For understandable reasons, WWE was quick to credit The Rock's involvement for helping the company smash the gate record at last year's WrestleMania XL. Triple H struck a similar note after last month's Elimination Chamber, suggesting that the involvement of the world's highest-grossing actor was a big part of that event's success. Advertisement All of that begs the obvious question: Will 'The Great One' show up this weekend? While The Rock has been absent since the events in Toronto, we've seen time and again how quickly these things can turn. Obviously Triple H and Nick Khan will have been prepared to move mountains if they can make it happen. But will the stars align? We may have our eyes on John Cena and Cody Rhodes, but we shouldn't let that distract us from the elephant in the room. If The Rock doesn't make 'Mania, it will be a big disappointment for WWE and TKO. Allegiant Stadium hosts its first WrestleMania this weekend, with expectations running high in Las Vegas. (Photo by) (Ethan Miller via Getty Images) Does the Vegas gamble pay off? We know from Nick Khan's previous comments that WWE sees massive potential in Las Vegas. Given that it didn't have a major stadium until five years ago, Sin City hasn't been on the WrestleMania radar for much of the modern era, although it did of course host SummerSlam 2021, and the smaller Money in the Bank event in 2022. Advertisement Will the event beat last year's 'Mania in Philadelphia, where the company reportedly pocketed some $38.5 million in gate revenue? That will be the big question when the dust settles on the main event. WWE tends to be coy about revealing exact figures, but it should be pretty clear if WrestleMania 41 undershoots last year's numbers. Of course, it isn't just TKO who will have high expectations for this weekend. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority has apparently shelled out $5 million for the right to host the event, and will expect a return on that investment. There were some reports earlier this year that the Super Bowl was a duff bet for Vegas. But will 'Mania fare better? Rey Mysterio made an appearance at this year's WrestleMania After Dark Las Vegas launch party earlier this week. (Photo by) (Gabe Ginsberg via Getty Images) How does the TKO strategy play out? TKO's president Mark Shapiro has been pretty transparent about the group's plans to squeeze extra revenue out of WWE and UFC fans by giving them 'super access' to the action through all sorts of special perks and privileges that come with their own price tag. Advertisement In some ways, this is nothing new. WWE has been partnering with On Location (now part of TKO) for three years to offer premium ticket packages combining VIP meets and ringside seats. But WrestleMania 41 looks like a big escalation of that strategy, given the number of spinoff and VIP events taking place under the TKO/WWE umbrella. As well as the Roast of WrestleMania and a special club night (WrestleMania After Dark) at the FontaineBleau, you also have some brunch meet-and-greets at Brewdog, plus the WWE World exhibition at the Convention Center. There have been reports of On Location offering a special lunch with John Cena, with spots going for the princely sum of $25,000 each. In some ways, this is the next phase of the whole 'two-night PLE' gambit, which has allowed WWE to increase its gate revenue for WrestleMania. Adding a third night would obviously be ludicrous. But if you can add a sizable revenue bump by running lots of lucrative side events? That's clearly good for the bottom line. Of course, whether WWE can pull it off or not is the big question. And this weekend should be a major test of that whole strategy. "WWE Raw" debuted on Netflix earlier this year, with Hulk Hogan receiving a not-so friendly welcome from many fans. (Photo) (WWE via Getty Images) How well does it do on Netflix? While WWE PLEs are still on Peacock in the U.S., Netflix has the broadcast rights to several of the major international audiences, including the UK, Canada, Australia and Mexico. Advertisement Just over three months into the Netflix deal, the consensus among analysts appears to be that the viewing figures have been good but not great. While the big focus has been on 'WWE Raw' (the only WWE show to be broadcast on Netflix in the United States), the WrestleMania 41 numbers should give a big insight into how well things are doing internationally. If there's one country to keep an eye on, it's India, where WWE broadcast rights just transferred to Netflix on April 1. The world's most populous country is seriously hot for professional wrestling, with WWE's weekly shows typically drawing almost double the audience they get in the States. As luck would have it, India is also a big growth market for Netflix, which has 10 million subscribers (according to independent analysts) in a country of more than 1.4 billion people. Given the popularity of pro-wrestling with Indian fans, Netflix may well be depending on WWE to help improve that number.

WrestleMania XL one year later: How has the stock of Jey Uso, Austin Theory, Cody Rhodes changed since then?

WrestleMania XL one year later: How has the stock of Jey Uso, Austin Theory, Cody Rhodes changed since then? Last year's WrestleMania XL was one of the modern greats, with a slimmed-down match card delivering a number of classics, as well as the most explosive ending sequence in a generation. For all the praise, a lot has changed since that chilly weekend in Philadelphia, with 11 PLEs and more than a dozen title changes. Looking back at the 40th annual WrestleMania, let's take stock of who has soared since then, who has maintained position, and who has fallen backward. Who's up Jey Uso Last year's 'Mania wasn't exactly a slam dunk for the former Bloodline man after his one-on-one match with his twin brother turned out to be the dampest of damp squibs. Who would have thought back then, just one year later, Jey Uso would be heading into WrestleMania 41 as a certified 'arena-shaker' and the runaway favorite to win the World Heavyweight Championship? Advertisement Whether you're on board with the Yeeting or not, you have to agree that it's been one hell of a year for the former 'Right Hand Man.' Is it Jey Uso's time? (Photo by Mike Owens/WWE via Getty Images) (WWE via Getty Images) Dom Mysterio Despite being a solid contender for the 'most improved' wrestler at the time, WWE failed to come up with a decent plan for 'Dirty Dom' in Philadelphia, instead fobbing him off with a glorified re-run of his crowd-pleasing whooping from his father, the great Rey Mysterio, from Mania 39. Twelve months on and it's all change as the WWE's most irresistible two-timer heads into a thrilling four-way that may well see him leave with the Intercontinental Championship around his waist. You might not like what he does, but you can't say he doesn't deserve it. Advertisement Bianca Belair Rotating your upper card to keep things fresh is one thing, but WWE's decision to shift Bianca Belair from the main title scene always felt like a disservice to her prodigious talents. A six-woman tag at last year's 'Mania may have been a good way to properly introduce Jade Cargill, but it still felt more like a 'SmackDown' main event than a 'Mania-worthy match. How have things changed since then? Having been liberated from the tag team division, 'The EST' quickly reasserted her authority over the entire women's roster with a statement victory at Elimination Chamber. She now heads into 'Mania in her strongest position in years and is the favorite to take back the big prize. CM Punk It's true CM Punk didn't actually wrestle at last year's 'Mania, but he certainly played a big role, teeing up the rivalry of the year with Drew McIntyre. Since then, 'The Second City Saint' has gone from strength to strength, emerging as the star performer at the Rumble and Elimination Chamber. After a year of hard work and no controversies, Punk now gets his just desserts: the chance to accomplish his career-long goal of headlining WrestleMania. Who's down Damage CTRL Given they're sidelined with injuries, it feels uncharitable to include Damage CTRL. But rewatching the packages from last year's Mania (including Bayley vs. Iyo Sky), you quickly remember what a massive role this quartet played throughout 2023. The backstabbing angle to relaunch Bayley as a babyface was a masterstroke, but it's a shame it ended up leading to the inadvertent sidelining of most of the others (Iyo excluded) in the months to follow. Advertisement Of course, this being pro-wrestling, these things can change in a heartbeat, and you just know that the roof will come off the stadium or arena when Asuka finally makes her return. Drew McIntyre After his humiliation at the hands of CM Punk and Damian Priest last year, McIntyre went on to embark on his best work in years, culminating in that shocking Hell in a Cell match. Despite being showered with praise after Bad Blood in particular, McIntyre has lost momentum in the Netflix era, largely due to some uncharacteristically lackluster booking from the creative team. At the beginning of the year, I was tipping him as a potential Universal Championship contender, while also keeping my fingers crossed for a second outing against Roman Reigns. Neither has happened. Instead, we have a repeat fixture against Damian Priest that, even with the street-fight stipulation, feels a bit like an afterthought. Advertisement Austin Theory It's one of those opinions that has become a cliche: just what is the WWE doing with Austin Theory? Two years on from beating John Cena in the curtain-raiser at WrestleMania 39, the one-time rising star is nowhere to be seen this time around. Sure, there was some exasperation when Vince McMahon was giving him the fastest push in years, but even his critics at the time would have conceded that Theory has some serious talent. At just 27 years old, Theory will have plenty more 'Manias to make an impression. But that still doesn't justify his absence this time around. Who's stayed the same Can Cody Rhodes top his performance from WrestleMania XL? (Photo by Eric Johnson/WWE via Getty Images) (WWE via Getty Images) Cody Rhodes It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment for Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania XL, as 'The American Nightmare' finally won the prize that had eluded his late father. Not only was the match an absolute classic, but the post-match scenes — of Rhodes celebrating with friends and family in the ring — were enough to bring a tear to the most cynical of viewers. Advertisement Now Rhodes heads to 'Mania 41 facing a very different battle, with the very real threat of losing his title to the malevolent John Cena. Has Cody lost any of his momentum as the babyface champion? Let this superb video package be the answer to that question. Randy Orton This time last year, we were still riding high on Randy Orton making his comeback at WarGames, as 'The Viper' faced Logan Paul and Kevin Owens in a Mania three-way. Orton still has the crowds behind him — just listen to them sing Voices in Europe — but I can't help thinking we're still waiting for that one big match that will really thrust him back to the main title scene. Advertisement Let's hope Nick Aldis can come up with a suitable opponent to give Orton his long-awaited statement victory. Gunther Having Gunther drop his IC title was one of the bigger gambles at last year's WrestleMania. Still, if you thought that 'The Ring General' wouldn't be without gold for long, you were quickly proven right, as the Austrian powerhouse went on to win King of the Ring followed by the World Heavyweight Championship. In terms of this year's 'Mania, Gunther is clearly being positioned as the man to beat as he faces babyface Jey Uso. It's not a bad place to be, admittedly, but it's very similar to last year — and I suspect there are even brighter destinations in his future.

WrestleMania 41: What's worked for WWE and what hasn't in the year since Cody Rhodes' crowning moment

Plenty has changed for Paul Levesque's WWE since WrestleMania XL — some for the better, some for the worse. (Michael Tran/AFP via Getty Images) (MICHAEL TRAN via Getty Images) Last year at WrestleMania XL, as Cody Rhodes celebrated his newly won WWE Championship with friends and family, you could feel a shift in direction going forward. The term 'eras' has always seemed a bit too hyperbolic, but this was now a WWE with a new babyface as its frontman, having cracked the code that was Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. With all the work Reigns and company did, and now Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, CM Punk and a few others also in the spotlight, WWE's profile has risen to a point that even the not-so-great moments don't slow down the brand's momentum. Advertisement Here are some of the very best things that happened in WWE over the past year since WrestleMania XL — and some of the things that haven't fared as well, either through mishandling or circumstance. The Show The move of "WWE Raw" to Netflix in January introduced a new look, a new feel and a new price point. In some ways, it mirrors when WWE crossed over from standard definition to high definition in 2008. "Raw" has caught up with modern programming in that most viewers can see it in its very highest clarity, can jump in and rewind at any point, and can very shortly afterward rewatch anything they've missed. The introduction of Penta and the rise of Jey Uso gave way to more hyper-focused entrances, and the exit of longtime WWE producer Kevin Dunn and entry of Lee Fitting provided new angles and execution for how the actual matches have been presented. There was an immediate focus to make the show feel like anything could happen, with movie stars, recording artists and fellow Netflix acts being heavily featured both in audiences and as part of the in-ring action. Perhaps the most interesting change was the unofficial runtime of the show. From 2012 to 2024, "WWE Raw" ran three hours and change every week, to varying levels of success and interest. Netflix almost has an extended run-over, with the runtime after the two-hour mark being flexible based on the match or moment involved. Knowing that any point after two hours can signal the show's end adds a level of intrigue to "Raw" that's been missing for a long time. Advertisement On the flip side, "WWE Smackdown" returned to the USA Network after its foray on network television with FOX. The show, which had been two hours for basically its entire run, decided to pick up the time "Raw" gave up, and switched to a three-hour format. Without The Bloodline's twisting, weaving tale, filled with backstage moments and in-ring unpredictability, "Smackdown" can't help but feel severely bloated since the shift. With "Raw" getting in and out on a Monday, a Friday night "Smackdown" extending late into the evening hours doesn't flow well going into the weekend. Even if the details of the deal dictate extended programming, it hasn't increased the value or presence of the talent on the blue brand. Newcomers like Jacob Fatu, Carmelo Hayes and Tiffany Stratton would fare just as well in a traditional two-hour time slot. The tradeoff of runtimes has made "Raw" more watchable, but without Roman Reigns or The Usos, a shorter "Smackdown" would be a more digestible watch. There's also the numbers touting. Over the past few years on its Premium Live Events (PLEs), and now on its weekly broadcasts, WWE made it a point to announce record attendance numbers and ticket sales, all while those tickets and events are more expensive than ever. While it's a boon for advertisers and shareholders, it doesn't serve the audience you're asking to show up to support your product. The After Party When two new women's mid-card titles were introduced — the Women's United States and Women's Intercontinental Championships, respectively — there was renewed hope that stories outside of WWE's two major women's world titles could exist and be given the proper time and attention. What we learned is that they absolutely can … but not ones that involve said titles. Advertisement WWE's 'Big Three' of Bianca Belair, Naomi and Jade Cargill have told a long, winding story of sisterhood, jealousy and betrayal, with the latter two about to face one another in a historic matchup — the only non-title women's singles match not billed as a 'catfight' to ever grace a WrestleMania card. Naomi, the well-traveled veteran and longtime fan-favorite, has done a great job showing how malicious she can be, serving as the old guard trying to stifle newcomer Cargill's progress. But with all the notes that the feud has hit, it shows the disparity in what's been given to the two new championships and its titleholders. Since winning the Women's United States Title in December, Chelsea Green has defended the title three times — each time against Michin, the woman she beat in the inaugural tournament finals. Her counterpart, Women's Intercontinental Champion Lyra Valkyria, has defended the title against four different opponents, but has still only had four defenses in three months. You want newly introduced titles to have a certain jumpstart, but they've come across more as placeholders or paperweights than plot points or position builders. Green isn't currently slotted on the WrestleMania 41 at all, while Valkyria is one-quarter of the Women's World Tag Team Championship match, teaming with her most recent challenger Bayley against champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. You'd hope that it furthers the story between Bayley and Valkyria, who put on a fantastic title match on the April 7 edition of "WWE Raw," but a second ongoing women's mid-card feud for WWE has to be seen before it can be believed. Advertisement Similar sentiments slide over to the men's tag-team division as well. At WrestleMania 40, six teams vied for the then Undisputed Tag Team Championships in a ladder match. After WWE split those belts into two sets of titles, neither has been given proper focus. There's one very strong story, helmed by one of the greatest teams to ever exist in WWE, The New Day. Shunning Big E for having outside interests while he awaits possible medical clearance, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have reverted to their initial heel roots, but have also upped the ante, fighting for respect and their push forward as a duo. They'll look to add to their record at WrestleMania as the team with the most collective tag-team championships in WWE history when they take on the War Raiders. The other side of that 'greatest' coin, The Usos, are also working together, but the focus is on preparing Jey for his World Heavyweight Title match against Gunther on Night One of WrestleMania 41. Not every title can be defended at every big show, but it's telling that once more a set of tag-team titles will be defended on the "SmackDown" before WrestleMania, and not the show of shows itself. WWE heavily promoted the fact that The Street Profits went more than four years without winning tag-team gold — something it seems they might have wanted to shy away from, given that no team outside of The New Day and The Usos has really established themselves as standouts in WWE's overall narrative. Acts like Montez Ford still seem to be waiting for the chance to showcase what they can do in the singles division. Even after the call-ups of teams like The Creeds and DIY, and the signing of all-time greats The Motor City Machine Guns, it doesn't feel that tag-team wrestling is any more valued under this WWE regime than the previous one. DIY and the Motor City Machine Guns have tried their best to prop up WWE's tag-team division. (WWE/Getty Images) (WWE via Getty Images) The Hotel One thing that's been consistent over WWE's past year is fresh faces at the top of the cards. Rhodes, since his WWE return in 2023, has been a WrestleMania fixture. Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky, both World Champions at 2024's event, also find themselves in a title match. But including Rhodes, there are three first-time world champions and one first-time WrestleMania title challenger across this weekend's four world title matches. Advertisement Aside from the box office and YouTube views, the biggest success of The Bloodline story has been the rise of Jey Uso as a solo star. He has the crowd invested in his entrance, his merchandise, and appears poised to topple over first-time World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, the strongest positioned act of WWE's past few years outside of Roman Reigns. Gunther is a world killer, from his record-breaking Intercontinental Title run, his dominance in the King of the Ring Tournament, and now his World Heavyweight Title reign. Previous generations had their similar forces in the Vaders, Sycho Sids and Faces of Fear, and Gunther seems to be the next in line, with a more pronounced focus on the promo aspect to make him a detailed, sophisticated monster. Tiffany Stratton's star also shined so bright, the fans forced WWE's hand in turning her away from her 'Daddy's Girl' persona to put the focus on her insane athleticism and strength, derived from her collegiate gymnastic days. Less than four years into her wrestling career, she's battling WWE's women's standard-bearer Charlotte Flair on Night One of WrestleMania 41. Advertisement Even outside of the main-event scene, acts like Bron Breakker, Dominik Mysterio, Logan Paul and Jacob Fatu have been positioned as the next big stars once some space clears at the top. There's an embarrassment of riches in WWE's upper echelon that's caused a bit of a logjam. The specter of The Rock has complicated things, with him adding star power but muddling the details of what's supposed to happen in his absence. In 2024, his WrestleMania XL injection led to two thrilling main events, but he's been less active and less clear this year as to what exactly he's providing for John Cena — and what he's trying to take from Rhodes. Cena absolutely earned the right to go out on his own terms, and still has a lot he can provide. It's not a negative to have so many acts that could legitimately compete for a world title — it's simply unprecedented. Advertisement Saturday's Night One's main event features three former world champions in CM Punk, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Adding in the Sin City Street Fight with Damien Priest and Drew McIntyre, and three of the singles matches across the two nights, there are eight former world champions not in title matches of any kind. When new stars are created, but contests like The Royal Rumble are lessened by not leading to the main event of the biggest show, it can define down the very acts you're looking to put on par with your proven ones. In almost every case, these are acts the new regime inherited. Even with all of the programming hours available, for some acts to stand out, others will have to be pared down. WWE as a whole is on a heat check, and time will tell if the goodwill and hot characters will help the company's upward trend continue, even with the areas that seem to be lacking interest and investment.
