WrestleMania 42 will emanate this weekend from Las Vegas.
The 42nd edition of WrestleMania will take place as a two-night event on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Night 1 will be headlined by Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton, while Night 2 will close with CM Punk putting the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Roman Reigns.
Fans can watch the opening matches and the first hour of both nights, featuring two matches each on ESPN2 on Saturday and ESPN on Sunday. On the other hand, subscribers to the ESPN Unlimited plan can stream the full show in the U.S., while international fans can tune into Netflix to catch the full two-night spectacle.
Ahead of the PLE, rumors of main roster call-ups have been circulating on social media, and a new report from BodySlam has provided an update on this matter.
Multiple former NXT Champions are discussed for main roster call-ups
The outlet reports that Jacy Jayne, Ethan Page, Joe Hendry, and Sol Ruca have been heavily discussed for a possible main-roster call-up recently.
It remains unclear whether they are firmly slated for main roster call-ups, but the events of NXT Revenge hinted that they may soon move on from the Tuesday night show to Raw or SmackDown.
WWE usually plans main roster call-ups and surprise returns after WrestleMania, and the current storylines of Jayne, Page, Hendry, and Ruca point in the direction of a possible main roster call-up.
Jacy Jayne dropped the NXT Women’s title to Lola Vice in a triple-threat match at Stand & Deliver and failed to regain it in the rematch on Week 1 of NXT Revenge. Jayne was seen kissing goodbye after the show went off air.
Meanwhile, Ethan Page came up short in the match against current NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo during Week 1 of the TV Special. Page is also no longer the NXT North American Champion; his title reign ended in February.
On the other hand, Joe Hendry recently lost the title in a fatal four-way match at NXT Stand & Deliver and is set to battle Keanu Carver on Week 2 of NXT Revenge, after the latter crashed his concert on Week 1 of the TV special.
Additionally, Sol Ruca is also no longer the double Champion and has been feuding with her former friend Zaria. The two former friends are set to battle once again, this time in a Last Woman Standing match next week.
Notably, the murmurs about Ruca’s main roster promotion can be traced back to December when she impressed everyone with her performances on SmackDown and then followed it up against WWE veteran Bayley during the John Cena retirement SNME.
