List of Confirmed WrestleMania 42 Matches

CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns

World Heavyweight Championship — Night 2 Main Event

Roman Reigns won the 2026 Men's Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on January 31 and chose to challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. The rivalry became deeply personal when Punk invoked the name of Reigns' late father Sika during a Raw promo, setting up one of the most emotionally charged WrestleMania main events in years. This match headlines WrestleMania Sunday, April 19.

Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton

Undisputed WWE Championship — Night 1 Main Event

Randy Orton won the Men's Elimination Chamber match in Chicago on February 28, earning his WrestleMania title shot. Cody Rhodes regained the Undisputed WWE Championship from Drew McIntyre on SmackDown on March 6, confirming the match. Orton then brutally turned heel — attacking Rhodes with a chair at the March 13 contract signing — turning a respectful rivalry between longtime friends into a deeply personal betrayal. This headlines WrestleMania Saturday, April 18.

Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley

WWE Women's Championship

Rhea Ripley won the Women's Elimination Chamber match in Chicago on February 28, surviving five opponents including Tiffany Stratton, Alexa Bliss, Kiana James, Asuka, and Raquel Rodriguez to earn this title shot. Jade Cargill has held the WWE Women's Championship for over 100 days following her victory over Tiffany Stratton at Saturday Night's Main Event. Reports suggest genuine real-life tension between both superstars has added authenticity to the build.

Stephanie Vaquer vs. Liv Morgan

Women's World Championship

Liv Morgan won the Women's Royal Rumble match in Riyadh on January 31 — her first Rumble victory — and immediately pointed to Stephanie Vaquer's Women's World Championship on Raw. Vaquer, who has been one of WWE's most impressive stars since arriving from CMLL, will make her first WrestleMania title defence. Morgan, a two-time champion, brings crowd momentum and a compelling redemption narrative into this match.

Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi

Open Challenge Match

Paul Heyman announced an open challenge on behalf of Brock Lesnar during his February 23 Raw return. On the March 16 episode of Raw in San Antonio, Oba Femi officially answered the call, hitting Lesnar with his Fall From Grace pop-up powerbomb and accepting the WrestleMania challenge. The match between two of the most physically dominant men in WWE — a 48-year-old legend and a rising 26-year-old powerhouse — has the potential to be a defining generational passing-of-the-torch moment.

AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch

WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship

AJ Lee returned to WWE and captured the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship — eleven years after her first professional wrestling retirement. Her first confirmed WrestleMania title defence is against Becky Lynch, one of the most decorated women's champions in company history. The match represents a dream matchup between two beloved generations of women's wrestling, and its WrestleMania placement speaks to the prestige WWE is investing in the Women's Intercontinental title.
