For a WrestleMania card like it’s shaping up this year, the fans have been clamoring for more one-on-one matches. Adding to the cause will be AJ Styles vs. Logan Paul, which has been made official by Raw GM Adam Pearce as seen in the following announcement video posted by WWE. This week on Raw, The Maverick was supposed to call out The Phenomenal One.

However, in a reversal of roles, Styles came out first to a massive reaction. Without further ado, he called Paul out. The latter was clearly in the crosshairs of the Londoners. They jeered the 29-year-old whenever he tried to get a word in. Somehow, Logan trucked through and made a baffling claim about forgiving AJ for what he did to him at Madison Square Garden.

The social media megastar said that since he’s teaching his baby girl the art of forgiveness, he didn’t want to dwell in the past. And guess what? Styles also revealed having a daughter, so he returned the favor to Paul, after which the latter was confused. The former WWE Champion then referred to the IMPAULSIVE host as the biggest douchebag in all of WWE.

AJ told Logan that him being braggadocious about his fame and money doesn’t interest the fans. In fact, they only bet on the superstar who’s willing to make sacrifices for the audience. Eventually, The Maverick pointed at the suspended WrestleMania signboard and asked Styles to join. A brawl got underway, which resulted in the YouTuber standing tall over the veteran.

WrestleMania 41 on track to have a low turnout amid price-gouging allegations?

As of late, it has come to light that WrestleMania 41 isn’t essentially a sell-out at this point. Both nights are a few thousand tickets shy of the 50,000-mark, while a number of sections are still unopened for seating. This week on Raw, Pat McAfee announced on commentary that WWE is opening up more seats.

However, the exorbitant prices have made it remotely impossible for a middle-income-earning families to afford a WrestleMania trip. The lowest tickets, mostly the nosebleeds, are available at $200. While if one is ambitious enough to gain access to ringside seating, the charges can balloon up to $7500 and more. Not only that, but WWE has also announced week-long festivities.

Slated for WrestleMania weekend in Vegas, they include meet and greets, the WWE World, The Roast of WrestleMania feat. Tony Hinchcliffe, etc. The fans are understandably upset at the price-gouging, and it might dampen the overall WrestleMania attendance figures.

If the sales don’t pick up in the remaining days, the pop-culture extravaganza is in jeopardy of becoming the lowest-attended WrestleMania since 2006 (not including both nights). John Cena competing for the world title in his last-ever WrestleMania as a performer might see a late surge in ticket sales, or if WWE cuts down the prices closer to the event.

What are the respective two-night main events of WrestleMania 41?

In the last week or so, WWE has confirmed its main event matches for the two-night wrestling spectacle in Las Vegas. On Saturday, an epic triple-threat showdown including Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins will headline the proceedings. They recently signed the contract on SmackDown to make it official.

During the segment, Punk got emotional after learning that he’ll indeed main event WWE’s big dance. Twenty-four hours later on Sunday, John Cena will be eyeing a historic 17th world title reign by upsetting Cody Rhodes. They just had one heck of a promo battle on Raw in London.

The fans could expect more fireworks in the feud in the days to come. However, The Cenation Leader doesn’t have any remaining televised dates before WrestleMania itself. It’d be interesting to see if he surprisingly pops up one more time to get his lick back on Rhodes.
