WrestleMania 42 Night One is just hours away
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.
Originally slated for the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, the event was relocated to Las Vegas following the financial success of WrestleMania 41, with Vegas submitting a higher bid to host the event again.
With 13 confirmed matches across two nights, including eight championship bouts, WrestleMania 42 promises to be an unforgettable weekend.
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. 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.
This is also a historic broadcast milestone: WrestleMania 42 marks the first WrestleMania to air live on ESPN’s linear channels, with the first hour of each night broadcasting on ESPN2 (Night 1) and ESPN (Night 2) before the full show streams on ESPN Unlimited in the US and Netflix internationally.
