WrestleMania 41 Night 1 concluded with an unexpected turn of events, but the evening began with an even more surprising moment – the voice of Dana White.
The UFC president, who attended the first night of WrestleMania 41, provided the narration for the show`s opening segment in Las Vegas. This appearance is noteworthy considering White`s history with WWE.
Despite past public criticisms of WWE, White`s involvement highlights the changing landscape since UFC and WWE merged under the TKO Group Holdings banner. White was visible throughout the broadcast, eliciting mixed reactions from the large crowd at Allegiant Stadium. He also recently appeared on Stephanie McMahon`s podcast, “What`s Your Story,” leading up to WrestleMania.
WrestleMania 41 continued with its second night on Sunday, featuring a main event where WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes was scheduled to defend his title against John Cena. Cena has indicated plans to retire from professional wrestling in late 2025.
