WrestleMania 41 might not go down as one of the best in the event’s storied history but it did make history. The outcome of this event was a bit unpredictable for WWE fans but those who follow FightManiacs, this outcome is perfectly aligned with the earlier hints at potential results. Travis Scott was involved in the historic match where John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes to claim his 17th World Title win in WWE.
FightManiacs readers already had an idea about the questionable booking decision, controversial celebrity involvement, and missteps by the production team in booking the fight. However, Cena’s historic victory was highly celebrated.

The Main Event John Cena vs Cody Rhodes : Miss or Hit ?
As we know the event is incomplete without the big stars and the “NO ROCK” show is even worse at the WrestleMania. The most debatable moment of the night came at the main event between Cody Rhodes and John Cena. The main event did not meet the expected fans criteria and was considered slow paced which lacked back and forth moments. Rapper Travis Scott, with no prior wrestling affiliation, interference worsened the event. His attempt to distract Rhodes and pulling the referee out during pinfall allowed Cena to grip the match and capitalise it into a victory, celebrating alongside Scott.
Another point of contention is the opening match between Jey Uso and Gunther. The match is booked via a submission win for Jey Uso over Gunther. Capitalising the match to a submission win over dominant champion Gunther brevity Gunther undermined established prowess.
The fans were anticipating the Night 2 match similar to Night 1, but the main event between Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena left fans disappointed. A disappointing main event marred by sluggish storytelling and unnecessary celebrity interference set the tone for fan frustration. No doubt the match was slow paced but it also lacked action. Instead of a gripping back-and-forth battle, the match ends with a no signature finisher Win of John Cena, making the main event dumb and boring.
The storytelling which is WWE’s strength, lacked in the main event of Day 2. Lack of drama, less verbal exchanges, and low quality action added to the frustration. Travis Scott’s entry shifted the attention from the climax and the match felt more like a setup for celebrity promotion than executing a dramatic storytelling.
How Big Stars Absence Affected WrestleMania Night 2
The Night 2 WrestleMania 41 main event lacked much-needed star power of The Rock. The matche was not action packed and storyline felt hollow and underdeveloped due to absence of figures like The Rock. The Final Boss built up the WrestleMania 41 main event and fans expected his interference in the match but he was nowhere to be seen during night 2. Paul Heyman, was booked for a pivotal role in the main event of the first night that elevated the drama of night 1. Lack of The Great One weakened the overall experience as fans voiced their disappointment on social media.
Is Travis Scott Segment worth it ?
The Travis Scott Segment: earlier we have witnessed celebrity featuring in the big event but Scott interfering in the match by pulling the referee completely diverted the storyline and turned the whole segment to a more complex scenario. After Rhodes took out the rapper with his finisher, fans expected The Rock to make an appearance. But that didn’t happen. WWE creative team thought Scott’s involvement to be an exciting move but it ended up to a more confused audience.
FightManiacs’ Assumptions and Accurate Prediction About WrestleMania 41
FightManiacs had previously highlighted the importance of key figures like The Rock, Seth Rollins, and Paul Heyman. Their prediction that star power can turn the event to a hit or trash—prediction proved accurate. Another forecast that came true—cautioned fans regarding the poor story narrative segment between Rhodes vs. Cena. FightManiacs suggested that in the storyline the Cenation leader could have made changes to his entrance theme to sell his hell persona. At WrestleMania 41 Cena entered with a complete black theme using the same entrance song. Overall, FightManiacs analysis gave the blueprint of the whole WrestleMania event.
Conclusion
Based on sources, information available through WWE shows and analysis, the team of FightManiacs was able to give their readers some hints about WrestleMania 41 main event. Even though The Rock was absent, Travis Scott’s involvement was something the team had expected to happen.
Involvement of the celebrity did divert the attention of the fans as they cheered him initially. But after the conclusion of the match, it felt like something was missing. John Cena winning without his signature finisher move, was a questionable move. Overall, the outcome was something that was historic.
