WWE is just over 24 hours from presenting its 41st annual WrestleMania event. The stacked card features more than a dozen matches over two nights. The Stamford-based company has just dropped a big announcement for fans as excitement continues to build for Night One of WrestleMania 41.

Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins will battle in the main event of WrestleMania 41 Saturday, as recently confirmed by officials. It was also announced that the World Heavyweight Championship will be defended on Night One, along with the WWE Women's Championship, the United States, and the World Tag Team Titles.

Gunther and Jey Uso will open WrestleMania 41 from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. A recently-leaked match order listed the World Heavyweight Championship showdown as the opener, and the news was confirmed on The Pat McAfee Show today. Rhea Ripley vs. Bianca Belair vs. Women's Champion IYO SKY was previously confirmed as the WrestleMania 41 Sunday opener.

Gunther previously went viral for attempting to spoil the finish to Saturday's match. Uso is actually the leading candidate to leave Las Vegas with the title on Saturday.
