During the January Netflix premiere of RAW, Dwayne Johnson broke character by joking about his previous rivalry with Cody Rhodes, departing from traditional storytelling approaches. This interaction occurred despite earlier expectations that he would be involved in a program with either Rhodes or Roman Reigns during this WrestleMania season.
According to information shared on the Wrestling Informer Podcast, WWE has faced challenges with ticket sales following the Royal Rumble event. Billi Bhatti addressed the current WrestleMania 41 ticket situation during the podcast.
Since the Royal Rumble, I can report that WWE has sold fewer than 500 additional tickets. These reports stating that 90% of the tickets are sold for WrestleMania are incorrect. The way ticket sales work is that you begin with Configuration Number One, then move onto Configuration Number Two, and if it’s an absolutely sold-out, high-demand event, they move onto Configuration Number Three.

The report indicates that WrestleMania 41 currently remains in its initial venue configuration phase, with Johnson’s involvement potentially intended to stimulate additional interest in the event.
WrestleMania 41 is currently stuck at around 45,000 tickets sold for both nights, nowhere near the 51,000 mark needed to extend to 60,000. If they reach 51,000, Configuration Number Two will be activated, increasing the capacity to 60,000. Beyond that, Configuration Number Three would push it to 71,250 per night.
At present, the only officially confirmed matches for WrestleMania 41 are Jey Uso versus Gunther and Charlotte Flair versus Tiffany Stratton, though additional bouts are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
