While 10 matches have already been announced, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter sheds light on what's next. ## According to the report, three more bouts are planned, bringing the total to 13.

With WrestleMania 40 fast approaching, Bayley is making a bold statement. The WWE Superstar recently spoke to the Daily Mail, questioning why the women can't headline both nights of the Grandest Stage of Them All. ## Bayley, currently on the road to her own WrestleMania match against IYO SKY for the WWE Women's Championship, proposed a solution: "You guys can have the first night and I'll take the second night. You know, we can do that."## "You guys can have the first night and I'll take the second night. You know, we can do that. You never had two women main event both shows at WrestleMania. Why can't it be this year?" ## This ambitious goal comes despite the expected main events for WrestleMania. The Rock's highly anticipated return is likely to headline night one alongside Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. Night two is projected to feature the much-awaited clash between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns.## Historically, women haven't been strangers to main eventing major WWE shows. WrestleMania itself has seen such moments twice: Becky Lynch's historic victory over Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey in 2019, and Bianca Belair's SmackDown Women's Championship win on WrestleMania 37's first night.## However, Bayley's vision extends beyond singular main events. NXT TakeOver: Respect in 2015 became the first major event to feature a women's main event with Bayley retaining the NXT Women's Championship against Sasha Banks in an Iron Man match. This trend continued on the main roster with Sasha Banks losing the Raw Women's Championship to Charlotte Flair at Hell in a Cell 2016.## Beyond Wrestlemania, WWE has presented several other all-female main events, including the 2017 Mae Young Classic, the 2018 Evolution pay-per-view, and even the 2018 Royal Rumble featuring the debut of Ronda Rousey. Additionally, women have closed out TLC events in 2018 and 2019, as well as Elimination Chamber in 2020 (the last pre-pandemic PLE with a live crowd) and most recently, Rhea Ripley's victory over Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber 2024. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WrestleMania, WWE's grandest stage, is known for bringing together the biggest names in the industry, both present and past. This year's 40th anniversary event promises to be no different, with rumors swirling about the potential involvement of three legendary figures: Steve Austin, The Undertaker, and John Cena. ## According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there's a strong belief within WWE that these icons will all have a role to play at WrestleMania 40, taking place in Philadelphia on April 6th and 7th. However, the exact nature of their participation remains shrouded in mystery. ## "Nothing is official," Meltzer reports, "but the belief right now is that Steve Austin, Undertaker and John Cena will have something at WrestleMania in some form. At press time, there is no creative locked in for Cena and Austin at this moment, or if there is it's a well-guarded secret." ## Meltzer highlights that their involvement hinges on their willingness and compensation. In particular, John Cena's potential physical limitations are a factor, as his movie commitments may restrict his ability to perform a high-impact match. ## The prospect of these legends returning to the WrestleMania spotlight has the potential to electrify the WWE Universe. Steve Austin, known for his brash attitude and iconic "Stone Cold Stunner," hasn't wrestled a full match since 2003. The Undertaker, an embodiment of the supernatural, retired in 2020 after a staggering 30-year career. John Cena, a 16-time world champion, has transitioned to Hollywood in recent years but continues to make sporadic WWE appearances. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WrestleMania XL is just around the corner, taking place on April 6th and 7th. BetOnline has released the updated betting odds for the highly anticipated event, revealing some clear favorites. ## Several champions appear likely to retain their titles based on the betting lines. Logan Paul, Gunther, and Bayley hold strong odds at -500 (1/5) to defeat their challengers Randy Orton/Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Iyo Sky respectively. LA Knight is practically a lock to win against AJ Styles with a staggering -1000 (1/10) advantage. ## While some champions seem secure, there are potential upsets brewing. Cody Rhodes is a massive favorite to dethrone Roman Reigns at -700 (1/7), but Reigns shouldn't be completely counted out at +400 (4/1).

Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso go head-to-head with Jey favored at -300 (1/3). The United States Championship match sees Logan Paul defend against a two-man threat - Randy Orton and Kevin Owens. Owens enters as a longshot at +900 (9/1), while Orton sits at a more favorable +350 (7/2). ## The Rock's return to WrestleMania creates a fascinating tag team dynamic. The Rock and Roman Reigns are heavily favored at -500 (1/5) to overpower Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins (+300 or 3/1). ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
