WrestleMania 41: Flair-Stratton, Punk-Rollins Feuds Escalate

Anticipation for WWE WrestleMania 41 is growing as both women's and men's storylines intensify, with real-life controversies adding to the drama. CM Punk has publicly criticized WWE's lack of incentive-based pay despite TKO's record profits and is engaged in a heated rivalry with Seth Rollins, who challenged him to an MMA fight—an offer Punk dismissed, promising to settle their differences at WrestleMania in a triple threat match that also includes Roman Reigns. Meanwhile, the feud between Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair has escalated following a controversial, off-script SmackDown promo featuring personal insults. Stratton claims Flair underestimated her, and predictions for the Women's Championship match are divided, with Peter Rosenberg favoring Stratton and others supporting Flair. Seth Rollins and other wrestlers believe the unscripted promo has increased interest in the women's match. The outcomes of these high-profile storylines are expected to shape WWE's biggest event of the year.
