WRESTLEMANIA 42: Preview of This Weekend’s Big Event

WRESTLEMANIA 42: Preview of This Weekend's Big Event

WrestleMania is back in Las Vegas for the second straight year this weekend, and WWE is going all-in on star power.

Night one leans heavy into crossover appeal. Logan Paul teams with Austin Theory and streamer IShowSpeed in a six-man tag against The Usos and LA Knight. You’ve also got Seth Rollins facing Gunther, and Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton, with Pat McAfee in Orton’s corner — and McAfee’s future in the WWE on the line if Orton loses.

The women’s division is stacked too. Stephanie Vaquer defends the women’s world title against Liv Morgan, AJ Lee puts the Women’s Intercontinental Championship up against Becky Lynch, and a loaded tag title match brings together Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Lyra Valkyria, and The Bella Twins.

Night two keeps the momentum going. Brock Lesnar returns to face Oba Femi, Rey Mysterio headlines a chaotic ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship, and Jade Cargill defends the WWE women’s title against Rhea Ripley. Sami Zayn also puts the U.S. title on the line against Trick Williams.

And then there’s the main event: CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns as the last match of the “showcase of the immortals.

WrestleMania 42 goes down tomorrow and Sunday on the ESPN app and airing live across ESPN platforms, with the first hour of each night simulcast on ESPN and ESPN2, starting at 7 p.m. ET.
