WrestleMania 42 Sunday for April 19, 2026 Sunday Day 2 PPV, live on ESPN Unlimited, at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. CM Punk and Roman Reigns are set to headline the show in what is Punk’s first-ever WrestleMania Main Event. It can be argued that Punk was in the main event of Night 1 of ‘Mania 41 last year against Reigns and Seth Rollins, but the Night 2 Main Event is what really closes out the entire weekend.

 The Night 2 Main Event is more prestigious and is purportedly the real main event. This card is stacked with matches that should appeal to both casual wrestling fans and pro wrestling marks. Unfortunately, there is only one women’s match on the card, as WWE did reportedly promise six women’s matches with three occurring each night. IYO SKY vs. Asuka vs. Kairi Sane and Giulia (c) vs. Tiffany Stratton for the U.S. Title are possible last-minute additions. Still, the fans should not hold their breath on those because they are dependent on Nikki Bella and even Chelsea Green returning from injury. Quite possibly the most physically imposing match-up in women’s wrestling history. Jade Cargill, the dominant and undefeated-in-spirit WWE Women’s Champion, defends against Rhea Ripley, one of the most decorated and beloved superstars in WWE today.

Ripley main-evented WrestleMania 40 and has consistently been one of the most over performers in the company since her character reinvention. With both women boasting power, athleticism, and charisma in abundance, this has all the ingredients of a genuine WrestleMania classic. The six-man Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match is set to be a highlight of Night 2 and a potential show-stealer for the entire weekend. Champion Penta, the luchador sensation, must overcome five dangerous challengers.Je’Von Evans and Dragon Lee bring youthful explosiveness; JD McDonagh brings calculated brutality; Rusev brings raw power, having recently destroyed all his opponents in a terrifying pre-match beatdown; and legendary Rey Mysterio, who added to the match after a surprise return on the April 6 Raw, adds a storybook element that the crowd will embrace.

Indeed, WWE is considering replacing the Bella Twins from the Fatal Four Way Tag Title Match with Kabuki Warriors, which would jeopardize their potential match with IYO SKY. Also, Stratton teased a future partnership with Chelsea Green that could lead her to an impromptu U.S. Title match against Giulia at Mania, if Green politicks enough backstage with management. The fact that SKY and Stratton walked in and out of Mania 41 last year as world champions and are not booked on this year’s Mania card is ludicrous. It is questionable as to why WWE could not just keep the tag title match a triple threat or replace Bella Twins with Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez instead of replacing Bella Twins with Kabuki Warriors, who should be feuding with SKY. It is also questionable as to why the Women’s U.S. Title has never been defended on PPV since its inception. With that being said, it is now time for some foolproof WrestleMania 42 Night 2 Predictions, starting with Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi, which should be an absolute spectacle.

WWE continuously teased that Oba Femi is the fastest rising star in WWE since Brock Lesnar, and Femi even expressed that he is the “one,” just like Lesnar was the “one” in Undertaker’s broken WrestleMania streak of 21-1 at WrestleMania 30. Since Lesnar is on the brink of retirement and will likely only be in the ring for merely WrestleMania and SummerSlam this year, it is time for him to pass the torch to Oba Femi. That way, Femi can become the next Beast in WWE for years to come and even create a commemorative WrestleMania streak of his own in honor of The Undertaker at WrestleMania. Furthermore, shaking hands with Femi as a sign of respect after the match would effectively turn Brock babyface before his retirement match against the heel Gunther at SummerSlam.
