Who Is Winning at WrestleMania 41!?
Live in Las Vegas, WWE's "Super Bowl" is set to deliver some epic moments.
Hey friends—WrestleMania week is finally here, and Vegas is about to get loud. I’ll be in town working WrestleCon, so if you want the behind‑the‑scenes chaos, make sure you’re subbed on YouTube and stalking my socials. Now, onto the part where I turn my brain into a human pinball machine and guess the outcomes of matches that could honestly go ten different ways. Ready? Let’s dive.
Women’s Tag‑Team Championship
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez (c) vs. Lyra Valkyria & Bayley
Lyra already carries the Intercontinental Women’s title, so a tag belt feels… off‑brand. My gut says Liv and Raquel retain, which frees Lyra and Bayley to implode spectacularly in a singles feud. Plus, Judgment Day collecting shiny objects just feels right this year.
Men’s Tag‑Team Championship
War Raiders (c) vs. The New Day
Heel New Day has been pure serotonin, but the Raiders still haven’t truly cooked as champs. If Kofi and Xavier snag the gold, it injects some overdue spice into the division—and gives War Raiders a burning reason to chase. I’m just leaning New Day here, but it’s a coin flip.
Jade Cargill vs. Naomi
Bianca lit the fuse on this one, and we’ve been watching it smolder for months. Logic screams “Jade gets the big WrestleMania moment,” but this darker, edgier Naomi is my favorite Naomi ever. Do I pick with my head or my heart? Heart wins: Naomi shocks the world.
Rey Mysterio vs. “El Grande Americano” Chad Gable
Whatever Gable touches turns to gold, and this comedy‑lucha mash‑up has been fun. Still, I’m picturing a feel‑good Rey victory, followed by the mask coming off to reveal—surprise!—Chad all along. (Yes, my tinfoil hat fits great, thanks for asking.)
LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu (United States Championship)
Fatu is on a tear; Knight is eternally over. The Bloodline politics are messy, Solo’s giving side‑eye, and Tama’s lurking. For sheer storyline juice, Fatu taking the strap—and Solo quietly panicking—hits hardest. Sorry, LA; the ride isn’t over, just postponed.
Fatal 4‑Way for the Intercontinental Championship
Bron Breaker (c) vs. Penta vs. Finn Bálor vs. Dominic Mysterio
Bron has brute force; Penta has the crowd; Finn has jealousy issues; Dom has… well, more jealousy issues. I want Dom to win so the Judgment Day trifecta (Liv, Raquel, Dom) can strut with gold while Finn detonates backstage. Chaos is good. Give me Dom.
AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul
Logan’s better in‑ring than anyone wants to admit, but this feels like an “AJ reminds everyone who built the house” night. Styles in a crisp, decisive finish—phenomenal forearm, thank you, goodnight.
WWE Women’s Championship
Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Charlotte Flair
Tiffany retaining makes sense for the long‑game, but WWE loves gasoline on a bonfire—and Charlotte with championship heat is a five‑alarm inferno. If she’s willing to absorb the internet meltdown, I could see them pulling the trigger. My pick: Charlotte, solely for the chaos factor.
World Heavyweight Championship
Gunther (c) vs. Jey Uso
Gunther’s historic reign has been art, but Vegas wants a feel‑good pop. The Jimmy‑run‑in added hearts and stakes. I’m calling the upset: Jey Uso wins, the stadium YEETs, and Gunther reloads for a summer rampage.
Women’s World Heavyweight Championship (Triple Threat)
Rhea Ripley (c) vs. IYO SKY vs. Bianca Belair
Any outcome works, but my selfish brain is booking Bianca. Why? Because Bianca holding the belt sets up Bianca‑Naomi down the line—and a heel Naomi ripping the title away sounds delicious. So: Bianca. Sorry, Mommy.
Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk
Paul Heyman in Punk’s corner
Everyone online has the “Heyman swerves to Rollins” theory; when Twitter agrees, history tells me it won’t happen. Punk’s never had his Mania win—tonight he finally grabs it. How Rollins’ “favor” cashes in? No clue, but Punk leaves with the title and a Heyman smirk.
John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes (c)
Cody’s earned a vacation; Cena’s chasing that one last run. Imagine a heel‑leaning “Summer of Cena” where champ John ignores high‑fives, wrecks fan dreams, and sets up dream matches with Randy and Punk by SummerSlam. I’m manifesting it: Cena dethrones the American Nightmare.
Why This Card Might Over‑Deliver
Yes, the build felt uneven—anything would after the magic of WrestleMania 40. But look closely: every single bout has flex‑potential, and most winners are genuinely unpredictable. That’s rare. My hunch? WrestleMania 41 becomes the sleeper hit of the decade. Doubt it now, eat crow Sunday night.
Let me know your predictions!

The Montreal Screwjob: A Necessary Evil
The Montreal Screwjob remains one of the most infamous moments in professional wrestling history. On November 9, 1997, at WWE’s Survivor Series, the match between Bret "The Hitman" Hart and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels ended in controversy when Vince McMahon, owner of WWE, orchestrated an unscripted finish to forcibly remove the WWF Championship from Hart. To fans and many wrestlers, the event felt like a betrayal. However, despite the negative response from certain circles, there’s a compelling case that the Montreal Screwjob was not only justified but necessary from a business standpoint.

Book Review: "Human Monsters: A Horror Anthology" by Various Authors
Yes, it's horror again. I'm feeling kind of down and whenever I'm down I read horror because it makes me feel better. Have you heard about that study that states people who are in depression should watch and read horror in order to make themselves feel better? Yeah, I checked it out some time ago - you should too. Human Monsters is exactly what you think it is, it is about monsters who are human - those who lurk in the normal world, not in the shadows, not in the darkness - they stand right in front of us. They are us. Let's go through my favourite stories in the anthology...

Federal Reinforcements and Rising Tension in Minneapolis
Tension in Minneapolis has risen sharply in recent days as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced plans to deploy hundreds more immigration officers to Minnesota following the fatal shooting of a local woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. The move comes amid nationwide protests and deepening polarization over federal immigration enforcement efforts. The decision to send additional officers was publicly confirmed by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, who said the reinforcements are meant to “ensure the safety” of ICE and Border Patrol personnel already in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. Officials noted that more than 2,000 federal officers have already been stationed in the region as part of what the administration describes as its largest immigration enforcement operation ever. What Sparked the Deployment? The deployment follows the Jan. 7 fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer during an enforcement action in south Minneapolis. Good, a mother of three, was struck and killed by gunfire as she sat in her vehicle. Federal authorities have characterized the incident as a defensive action, saying the driver’s conduct endangered officers. However, local political leaders and community members strongly dispute that narrative. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and other officials have criticized federal accounts of what happened, pointing to bystander videos that they say contradict the claim that Good posed an active threat when she was shot. They have also condemned the broader federal immigration operation in the city, saying it has fostered fear and mistrust in local communities. The legal and investigative aftermath remains complicated. Minnesota authorities sought to investigate the shooting, but federal officials asserted exclusive jurisdiction, citing constitutional protections for federal officers. This has deepened frustration among state leaders who want greater transparency and local involvement in the inquiry. Protests and Public Reaction The shooting ignited protests in Minneapolis almost immediately and spurred demonstrations across the country. Over the weekend following the incident, more than 1,000 rallies were organized in cities nationwide, drawing tens of thousands of participants. Protesters have framed their actions as a call for accountability and change in how immigration policy is enforced. In Minneapolis, large crowds gathered near the site where Good was killed to march and call for an end to what they see as an aggressive federal presence. Many protesters have chanted slogans critical of ICE and the broader administration’s immigration agenda. Scenes from protests have been varied. In some locations, demonstrators have remained peaceful, holding signs and vigils in memory of Good. In others, confrontations between some protesters and law enforcement have occurred, with reports of officers deploying crowd control tactics. Supporters of the federal response argue that a strong enforcement posture is necessary to uphold U.S. immigration laws and to address alleged crime tied to illegal immigration. DHS officials also stressed that the officers being sent to Minnesota are there to protect their federal personnel and keep operations running despite protests. The Broader Context of Immigration Enforcement This episode is part of a much larger national debate over immigration policy and enforcement tactics. The Trump administration’s recent focus on interior enforcement — including deportations and raids — has been a defining pillar of its second term. Minneapolis, a city with a diverse population and sizable immigrant communities, has become a focal point for that strategy. Critics say that such heavy federal deployment in city neighborhoods undermines community trust and disproportionately affects non-violent immigrants and long-standing residents. Advocates for immigrant rights argue that punitive tactics fuel fear, discourage cooperation with local authorities, and erode civil liberties. Supporters counter that rigorous enforcement is essential for national security and upholding the rule of law. They argue that federal agents must be backed by sufficient resources, especially when facing hostile demonstrations or resistance. Voices from Minneapolis Local sentiment in Minneapolis remains deeply divided. Many residents expressed grief and shock over the death of Renee Good, while also expressing concern about the scale and nature of the federal response. A number of community members have organized vigils, public gatherings, and faith-based services to provide mutual support and to call for justice. Conversely, Minneapolis leaders have urged calm while also criticizing federal policies they claim escalate tensions. Mayor Frey has been vocal in his rejection of the federal narrative, insisting that the city deserves transparency and a fair process to understand what led to Good’s death. Looking Ahead As hundreds more immigration officers make their way to Minneapolis, the city and the nation find themselves at a critical juncture in the ongoing debate about immigration enforcement. The coming days will likely see continued protests, political clashes, and legal challenges as both sides defend their interpretations of events and advocate for their visions of public safety and justice. For now, Minneapolis stands on edge — a city caught between federal authority and local calls for accountability, grieving a woman’s death, and questioning how far immigration enforcement can go before it deepens divisions even further.
