3 mistakes WWE should avoid at WrestleMania 41

Let’s take a look at 3 mistakes WWE should avoid at WrestleMania 41:

3. Excessive celeb involvement

Over the past few months, WWE has been putting a major spotlight on celebrity appearances. Big names like Vanessa Hudgens , Matthew McConaughey, Metro Boomin, and others have made noticeable cameos on WWE TV. Most notably, rapper Travis Scott played a key role in the shocking John Cena heel turn, showing just how involved these stars have become in the action.

However, WWE should be careful not to go overboard with celebrity involvement at WrestleMania—especially during key moments with major implications. Last time, Scott accidentally ruptured Cody Rhodes’ eardrum, proving how risky it can be to let rookies get physical. WWE needs to prioritize safety and storytelling over buzz, no matter how big the star.

2. Another loss for Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre has been going through a tough stretch lately. After coming up short in high-profile rivalries against CM Punk and Jey Uso, The Scottish Warrior also failed to win both the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber. These major setbacks have stalled his momentum on the main roster, making him appear vulnerable despite his incredible talent and strong character work.

At The Showcase of Immortals, McIntyre is set to face his long-time rival Damian Priest in a singles match. While many fans have criticized the bout as an underwhelming booking choice, the former WWE Champion has vowed to make it count. That said, if McIntyre suffers another loss on such a grand stage—this time to Priest—it could deal a serious blow to his character and momentum in WWE.

As a result, the 39-year-old desperately needs to win this match. Throughout their rivalry, Priest and McIntyre have engaged in intense back-and-forth battles, both physically and verbally. Given their history, the match feels worthy of a big stage. A win for the former WWE Champion could be exactly what he needs to rebuild his momentum and re-establish himself as a main event player in WWE.

1. John Cena turning face

John Cena shocked the world at Elimination Chamber by turning heel and aligning himself with The Rock and Travis Scott. The moment completely shifted WWE’s landscape and reshaped the road to WrestleMania. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting Cena’s first major heel showdown against The American Nightmare.

However, even the slightest misstep in this high-stakes clash could turn it into one of WrestleMania’s biggest disappointments. If the 16-time World Champion suddenly reverts to a babyface after his potential win or loss, it could leave fans confused and disconnected.

To maintain the emotional weight of Cena’s heel turn, WWE must avoid this pitfall and keep the story grounded, real, and personal—especially in the eyes of the audience. In the past, WrestleMania has often been the stage for major face turns following short-lived heel runs—like Hulk Hogan ‘s iconic switch at WrestleMania X8.
