Four midcard title showdowns that could steal spotlight at WWE WrestleMania 42

The 42nd edition will take place on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium.

With only a few weeks to go, the build towards WrestleMania 42 has intensified with major developments shaping up the card for the show in Las Vegas. While WWE has announced several headline matches, the full lineup for the event has yet to be revealed.

While main-event matches often grab the headlines, several midcard title bouts at WrestleMania 42 have the potential to deliver unforgettable moments.

Some of these teased and reported matches have drummed up major interest from WWE fans, and here we will take a look at four such anticipated midcard title matches that might end up stealing the spotlight in Las Vegas.

4. AJ Lee vs Becky Lynch – Women’s IC title

AJ Lee and Becky Lynch have been feuding since Lee’s return last year. In their last meeting at Elimination Chamber, Lee defeated Lynch once again via submission to capture the Women’s Intercontinental title and even defended it last week on Raw against Bayley.

However, after the match, Lynch launched a vicious assault, making it clear that things are far from over. Lee and Lynch are veterans of the game and have delivered multiple iconic matches, and can repeat the same to write another chapter in their feud at Mania.

3. Giulia vs Tiffany Stratton – Women’s US title

Reports of Tiffany Stratton battling Giulia for the Women’s US title have surfaced amid the ongoing storyline between the two, where Stratton made it clear that she was coming for the title after defeating Giulia’s manager, Kiana James.

Giulia and Tiffany Stratton have earned praise for their in-ring skills, capable of delivering show-stopping performances that could see them clash on wrestling’s ‘Grandest Stage.’ Both women will need a strong showing to remind fans of their talent and prove why they belong in the spotlight at WrestleMania 42.

2. Multi-team match for Women’s Tag Team titles

For the Women’s Tag Team division, Dave Meltzer in the latest WON reported that Mania 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).

The involvement of such major names is enough in itself to hype up fans, and add to that the storyline of these teams, and the match is undoubtedly going to steal the show, especially if a fan-favorite team ends up capturing the title in the end.

1. Carmelo Hayes vs Ilja Dragunov – US title

One of the most intense showdowns on weekly programming in recent weeks has undoubtedly been between Carmelo Hayes and Ilja Dragunov. Hayes initially defeated Dragunov after answering the U.S title open challenge.

On the other hand, Ilja Dragunov has yet to reclaim the title, despite Carmelo Hayes giving him multiple opportunities, including answering his open challenge.

Current reports suggest another showdown at WrestleMania, and based on their previous encounters, the two are poised to deliver yet another show-stealing, epic battle that will thrill fans and further elevate the prestige of the U.S. Championship.
