WWE WrestleMania 41 is neglecting key match storylines

forbes.com

WWE WrestleMania 41 is set for Las Vegas, but many fans are concerned about how the event is being organized. The focus seems to be mainly on the big match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes. This has left other parts of the card looking weak. In recent years, WWE has delivered strong storytelling. However, since the start of 2025, the company has struggled to create compelling content. With WrestleMania approaching, many key wrestlers lack direction or are involved in lackluster storylines. Some standout moments include the rising popularity of Jey Uso and Iyo Sky, but the overall build-up to the event feels unsatisfactory. Drew McIntyre is frustrated with his WrestleMania storyline, which appears to feature a midcard match against Damian Priest. Fans feel that McIntyre, a top performer, deserves a bigger spotlight. Their clashes have not created any real excitement, leading to a lack of interest in this potential match. Additionally, the midcard titles for men and women are in disarray. Wrestlers like Bron Breakker are experiencing constant changes in their storylines, making it hard for fans to connect. Meanwhile, the women’s midcard champions, Lyra Valkyria and Chelsea Green, are not getting the attention they need to shine. WWE also seems to neglect its tag team divisions. The only one showing some momentum is on SmackDown. Recent title changes could have been saved for WrestleMania, leaving fans unsure about the future of these divisions. Raw’s tag teams, including the World Tag Team Champions, lack significant storylines, further diminishing their visibility. WWE is relying heavily on multiple triple threat matches, which generally do not have as much appeal as singles feuds. The matches featuring big names like CM Punk and Seth Rollins do not showcase individual rivalries effectively. This creative choice has disappointed fans who prefer direct confrontations. Lastly, there is concern about Sami Zayn, who is reportedly absent from the WrestleMania card. After a storyline attack by Kevin Owens, Zayn has no clear match, despite being a prominent figure in previous WrestleManias. Fans are hopeful WWE will find a way to include him, but his absence is a significant letdown.
