WrestleMania 42 Card Takes Shape as Randy Orton Bloodies Cody Rhodes
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. That is how you build a WrestleMania main event. Dave Simon and Genesis Johnny North watched it unfold live, simultaneously booking out the full 13-match card across two nights. They also previewed every match on the AEW Revolution card, splitting on the main event — Dave picks Hangman Page, Johnny picks MJF in the Texas Death Match. Plus: Seth Rollins’ masked army gets torched, Danhausen’s curse works, and Team Canada falls to the USA in the WBC quarterfinals.
The WrestleMania 42 Card Is Finally Clear — And Cody Rhodes Made It Happen
The WrestleMania 42 card is coming into focus after a massive SmackDown.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026: Why Randy Orton’s Shocking Win Exposes the Match’s Biggest Problem

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Predictions: Rhea Ripley, Cody Rhodes, and Why SmackDown Changed Everything
SmackDown went off the rails the night before Elimination Chamber — Jey Uso was taken out by ambulance, Bronson Reed’s injury changed the men’s field, and Rhea Ripley and IYO Sky dropped the tag titles.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2026: Nobody in the Writers’ Room Noticed They Ran the Same Promo Twice
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.
Cody Wins WWE Elimination Chamber Qualifier—But All Three Are Going Anyway
The WWE Elimination Chamber qualifier on SmackDown saw Cody Rhodes defeat Sami Zayn and Jacob Fatu after Kevin Owens interference, but nobody believes this is over—all three are probably ending up in the Chamber anyway. WWE announced major matches for Chicago: CM Punk defending against Finn Balor and Becky Lynch facing AJ Lee. But two months from WrestleMania 42, WWE still doesn’t have a clear night one main event. Jade Cargill retained against Jordan Grace in a rough title defense with multiple botched spots. The episode took an emotional turn when Dave opened up about the Montreal Expos, praising Ashkan Karbasfrooshan’s Project Peanut initiative and admitting he cried watching the Netflix documentary about bringing baseball back to Montreal. “I want them back so bad,” Dave said, voice cracking. It was a genuine moment that showed the human side of sports fandom.
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.
