The original WrestleMania 41 card which was discussed for weeks during the WWE: Unreal docuseries had 14 matches but out of the 14 that were being worked on, only two ended up being on the final card.
The show did end up having 14 matches at the end of the day – seven on each show – but the card looked totally different than the one the WWE creative team were shooting for.
Injuries, unexpected reactions, and just general change of direction altered the majority of the card. Only Cody Rhodes vs John Cena and Logan Paul vs AJ Styles ended up going from the whiteboard to the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The other 12 matches which were proposed included Gunther vs CM Punk for the WWE World Heavyweight title, Rhea Ripley vs Bianca Belair for the WWE Women’s World title, Jade Cargill vs Nia Jax for the WWE Women’s title, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Iyo Sky and Asuka for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles, Jey Uso vs Damian Priest vs Sheamus vs Sami Zayn vs Bronson Reed vs Ludwig Kaiser in a ladder match for the Intercontinental title, LA Knight vs Jimmy Uso vs Andrade vs Santos Escobar vs Solo Sikoa vs Carmelo Hayes vs Shinsuke Nakamura in a ladder match for the United States title, Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins, Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens, The Wyatt Sicks vs Judgment Day in a 10-person mixed tag match, Bad Bunny vs Dominik Mysterio, and Bron Breakker vs Drew McIntyre with Steve Austin as special guest referee, Rey Mysterio vs Chad Gable.
WWE Unreal is streaming now worldwide on Netflix.
