Multiple ongoing feuds might end up in a clash at WrestleMania.
With WrestleMania 42 approaching fast, WWE has yet to finalize the full card for the two-night spectacle. As of now, only a few matches, including the four World titles, have been announced, and multiple other matches are in limbo.
Fans have been speculating about the stars featured on the card and their opponents, and now Dave Meltzer, in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, has provided some updates on key matches planned for the show involving major names.
Uncertainty remains around Bron Breakker vs Seth Rollins
Per Meltzer, with Bron Breakker’s absence due to injury, the status of Seth Rollins Mania match remains uncertain. He also suggested that WrestleMania could feature either a clash between Rollins and Bron Breakker or a bout between Rollins and Logan Paul.
However, WWE sources have yet to confirm Breakker’s status for the ‘Grandest Stage.’ On the other hand, Paul and Austin Theory are engaged in a feud with The Usos and are set to battle them on the upcoming edition of Raw, though Meltzer noted this doesn’t eliminate the possibility of a Rollins vs Paul matchup in Las Vegas.
For the Women’s Tag Team division, Meltzer noted that WrestleMania may feature a multi-team contest. Teams such as Charlexa (Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss), The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane), Lyra Valkyria and Bayley, as well as The Bella Twins (Nikki & Brie Bella), are expected to challenge The Irresistible Forces (Nia Jax & Lash Legend).
A similar multi-team contest could also be planned for the WWE Tag Team Championship. Earlier reports have also hinted at a split between Asuka and Kairi Sane.
On the other hand, country music star Jelly Roll is anticipated to make an appearance after returning to WWE television last week on SmackDown, where he was involved in an altercation with The Miz and Kit Wilson. The feud with Wilson took another step this past SmackDown, with Wilson attacking the country star.
Additionally, Meltzer highlighted several planned matches: Carmelo Hayes vs Ilja Dragunov for the U.S. Title, Dominik Mysterio vs Finn Balor, Trick Williams vs Sami Zayn, and Giulia vs Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s U.S. Championship.
The 42nd edition of WrestleMania will take place as a two-night event on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
Roxanne Perez is back in training
The latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has also provided an update on Judgment Day’s Roxanne Perez, who has been out of action following surgery last month to remove a benign mass.
The report notes that Perez is back in training and has been working out in the gym in recent weeks. The report added that, while she hasn’t been medically cleared to compete yet, her current condition suggests she is making substantial progress in her recovery.
Perez’s WWE status ahead of Mania remains up in the air; however, updates are anticipated once the medical evaluation is completed.
During Roxanne’s absence, Judgment Day has experienced significant turmoil, including Finn Bálor being ousted. Her return is expected to have major implications, as it remains to be seen whether she will side with the man who originally brought her into the faction or with the faction itself.
