Hello everyone, and welcome to Khel Now’s LIVE COVERAGE, GRADES, and RESULTS of WWE WrestleMania 42 Night 1. The start of the show is just a few moments away! I’m your host, Abhijit, and I’ll be keeping you company through what promises to be a fascinating evening of pro wrestling action. Please wait 30 seconds for the Live blog to load.
WWE’s grandest annual spectacle is back and bigger than ever. WrestleMania 42 descends upon Las Vegas for a second consecutive year, taking over Allegiant Stadium on April 18 and 19, 2026.
WrestleMania 42 is headlined on Night 1 by Cody Rhodes defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton, while Night 2 caps off with CM Punk putting the World Heavyweight Championship on the line against 2026 Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns.
The Night 1 main event features one of WWE’s most captivating ongoing storylines. Cody Rhodes, the man who “finished his story” by capturing the Undisputed WWE Championship, now faces a relentless Randy Orton with a controversial twist.
Pat McAfee was revealed as “the voice in Orton’s ear”, and a stipulation has been added that if Orton fails to win the title, McAfee must leave the wrestling business forever. The added stakes inject drama into what is already a blockbuster championship clash.
Retired 17-time champion John Cena returns as the event’s official host, appearing at WWE for the first time since his retirement last December.
