Opening with it would be great because the crowd will be super hot but i'm also wondering if that's a reason to not to do it first. Maybe having it 3rd from last with a 'cooling off' match before the main event.

I think opening with Jey and Gunther is the only option. World title matches should either open or close the show.

I think they should cause like Dale said, the crowd will be hot for both Jey's entrance and the inevitable title win

I wonder if we're going to get Orton v Aldis at mania. He's got two contracts talent and agent he mentioned in CVV podcast . We'll address it shortly. Now isn't the time. Aldis giving vibes he wants to Face Orton. That would be cool

I was thinking it's going to be Jey Uso vs Gunther kicking it all off. The hot crowd Yeeting would be the way to go.

Damian Priest vs. Drew McIntyre​

Brace yourself! Damian Priest is set to clash with Drew McIntyre on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

A volatile showdown between the two Superstars has been a year in the making. Moments after McIntyre overcame Seth Rollins to win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40, Priest cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to take it away from him.

Although CM Punk played a role in costing McIntyre the title, conflict between Priest and McIntyre was inevitable once Punk turned his focus to Rollins and Roman Reigns on The Road to WrestleMania. In recent weeks, animosity has reached a fever pitch, highlighted by their recent parking lot brawl where Priest smashed The Scottish Psychopath through a windshield.

To reestablish order, SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis made the match for The Showcase of the Immortals.

Don’t miss WrestleMania 41 on Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, at 7 ET/4 PT, streaming LIVE on Peacock in the United States and Netflix everywhere else.​

World Tag Team Champions The War Raiders vs. The New Day​

Sporting a vicious new mean streak that matches that of the team they’ll challenge at WrestleMania, The New Day are primed for a can’t-miss title showdown with The War Raiders.

Having not been tag team champions in more than two years, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are looking to earn gold after shockingly ejecting Big E from The New Day a few months ago.

Since they captured the championship from Finn Bálor and JD McDonagh late last year, The War Raiders have retained by taking down Dominik Mysterio and McDonagh as well as American Made in title defenses.

The New Day and War Raiders have clashed in the past in Viking Rules Matches and more, with Erik and Ivar getting disqualified in controversial fashion but retaining the World Tag Team Title in their most recent battle on the April 7 edition of Raw.

Can The New Day become tag team champions for the first time without Big E as a member of the group?
