Wrestlemania 42:Wrestling Match Highlights And Dramatic Moments.

Randy Orton sat across from Cody Rhodes at the WrestleMania 42 contract signing, told him everything he wanted to hear, and then kicked him in the groin, smashed his head between a steel chair and the ring steps, and left him bleeding while holding the WWE Championship.

One week before WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, the company’s creative team proved nobody reads each other’s scripts — running an identical promo twice in the same broadcast. Je’Von Evans shocked Gunther to qualify for the chamber. Kiana James did something even harder, pinning both Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax in a triple threat. AEW, by contrast, delivered a 5-star Kenny Omega vs Swerve Strickland match and is heading into Revolution 2026 with genuine stakes on the line.

Why WWE’s WrestleMania 42 Card Exposes a Roster Depth Crisis

Why Wwe'S Wrestlemania 42 Card Exposes A Roster Depth Crisis

Roman Reigns delivered a masterclass promo choosing CM Punk for WrestleMania 42’s night two main event, referencing the Colt Cabana podcast that made his life hell for years. It was real, it was personal, and it was the best segment in wrestling this year. But beyond that blockbuster, WWE has a glaring problem: what closes night one? Cody Rhodes vs Drew McIntyre again is borderline unwatchable without adding Jacob Fatu. The women’s tag division — anchored by Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY — might be the strongest it’s ever been, but can it headline? Meanwhile, Sami Zayn’s world title window is closing fast, Chelsea Green’s babyface turn is being engineered through WWE’s Unreal show, and AEW Dynamite delivered back-to-back shock finishes with Brody King squashing MJF while a Las Vegas crowd chanted political slogans.
