WrestleMania 42 Match Card Uncertainty: Where's the Hype? (2026)

WrestleMania 42 plans are apparently still up in the air, and that kinda sucks. Geno Mrosko, a lifelong pro wrestling fan and manager at Cageside Seats since 2011, is here to shed some light on the situation. As of the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, only one match is officially scheduled for WrestleMania 42, which is just over two months away in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 18 & 19. The main event of the second night will feature Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns challenging World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk. But what about the rest of the card?

According to Fightful Select, the "original plans" for the event have yet to be presented, and a significant portion of the card remains under discussion. Liv Morgan, the Royal Rumble winner, has yet to decide between Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer and Women's Champion Jade Cargill. The winner of the women's Elimination Chamber match will face the winner of this decision. This also means Drew McIntyre will defend his WWE championship against the winner of the men's Elimination Chamber match.

The rest of the card is wide open, leaving fans wondering about the status of matches like Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker. There's also a lack of information regarding AJ Lee's involvement, despite her last major appearance at Survivor Series late last year. Furthermore, the absence of names like Brock Lesnar, GUNTHER, Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, Sami Zayn, and even Logan Paul adds to the uncertainty.

It seems that the creative direction within WWE is still undecided, with Reigns and Punk carrying the main events. However, fans are left hoping for a more comprehensive and exciting card. The question remains: will the remaining matches and participants be revealed in time for WrestleMania 42, or will the event be left with a less-than-ideal lineup?
