Dana White’s Surprise WrestleMania 41 Introduction

MMA news

WrestleMania 41 Night 1 began with an unexpected voice – that of UFC CEO Dana White, which was perhaps more surprising than the night`s closing events.

Dana White, who attended the first night of WrestleMania 41, provided the narration for the opening segment of the major wrestling event in Las Vegas.

Despite his past public criticism of WWE, White`s involvement is a result of the UFC and WWE now being under the same parent company, TKO. White was visible on the broadcast, receiving varied reactions from the large crowd at Allegiant Stadium, and had also previously appeared on Stephanie McMahon’s podcast, What’s Your Story, before the event.

WrestleMania 41 continued with its second night on Sunday, featuring a main event where WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes was set to defend his title against John Cena. Cena is expected to retire from professional wrestling at the end of 2025.
