This Week's Monday Night Raw Featured Two Matches Originally Set For WrestleMania 41

They got there first. We are less than four months away from WrestleMania 41 and that means it is time to start getting ready for the biggest show of the year. WWE has already started to put together the card and some of the matches are coming together if you can look a bit over the horizon. However, two matches which were originally planned for the biggest show of the year have already taken place.

This week’s Monday Night Raw featured Rhea Ripley defeating Liv Morgan to win the WWE Women’s World Title, along with a main event of CM Punk defeating Seth Rollins. According to PWInsider.com by way of Cagesideseats.com, both of these matches were originally planned for WrestleMania 41. It is not clear why the two matches took place this week instead of waiting. There is nothing to indicate that the matches will take place again at WrestleMania.

They were big. Check out the two of them, including some special fallout:

Opinion: That’s certainly a change of pace and it makes me wonder what will be next for the four of them at WrestleMania. At the same time, this might make things that much better, as I’m not sure I can imagine Morgan vs. Ripley being stretched out that much longer. Punk vs. Rollins has only had one match so far, and it would not shock me to see then face off again, perhaps even at WrestleMania.
