So much so that WWE has brought its biggest show of the year back to Sin City. It\u2019s a bold move, but one that WWE has put its full weight behind by producing two fantastic cards. Night One will prove to be a great opening salvo for WrestleMania 42 weekend, and from the card that is advertised, Night Two will be more than up to the task of ending the weekend on a high note.<\/p>\n<p>World Championship Matches, grudge matches, and the ever-beloved gimmick match are going to ensure that this will be a WrestleMania for the ages. WrestleMania is the biggest show on the WWE calendar, and they have made sure we have plenty of reasons to tune in on Sunday. Let&#8217;s look at the specifics below.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Everyone Loves A Good Ladder Match <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The history of<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2024\/04\/01\/ranking-ladder-matches-wwe-wrestlemania\/\" target=\"_self\"> Intercontinental Championship ladder matches at WrestleMania<\/a> has been well documented. Starting at WrestleMania 10, these matches have been the highlight on every card they are a part of, and as we march towards WrestleMania Sunday, there is another one set for greatness.<\/p>\n<p>WWE couldn\u2019t have put 6 better wrestlers in this match. Each man is a human highlight reel, and it&#8217;s a guarantee that we are going to see a crazy ladder spot. This should be a match that opens the show and gets the crowd hot. Everyone loves a good ladder match, and WWE has set this one up for success. The contrast of past, present, and future stars is fantastic, and frankly, it&#8217;s hard to pick a clear favourite heading into WrestleMania. Any of these men can win this match, and no one would have an issue with it.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Ruler versus The Beast <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ever since their iconic faceoff during the Men\u2019s Royal Rumble, the wrestling world has been pining for Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar to be slotted in for WrestleMania. The visual aspect alone will make for an incredible sight, one worthy of WrestleMania. These are two massive individuals who are used to having their way with opponents, something that isn\u2019t going to be the case at WrestleMania.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"max-width: 610px\"><smartframe-embed class=\"smartframe_wp_element\" customer-id=\"b0c95bc04383cef69c6b47df872135cf\" image-id=\"WmOBOuyfQrlk\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 2442px; aspect-ratio: 2442\/3662;\" ><\/smartframe-embed><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/04\/10\/3-reasons-why-oba-femi-vs-brock-lesnar-is-opening-wrestlemania-42-night-two\/\" target=\"_self\"> Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi<\/a> are a marquee match that features two of the most dominant forces in WWE. It&#8217;s not often that someone is a physical match for Lesnar, with Oba Femi presenting that obstacle in each of their faceoffs so far. This match is going to be a war with each man hitting as many home runs as he can to put the other down. The excitement is through the roof for this showdown of The Ruler and The Beast.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Demon Gets Revenge On Dirty Dom<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Dirty Dom turning his back on Finn Balor was a move months in the making. It was a natural progression, and it&#8217;s helped to reinvigorate Finn Balor\u2019s standing with the WWE audience. The back and forth has been fun between the two wrestlers, and the ante was upped when it was announced that Finn Balor would be donning his Demon gimmick.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not something we have seen for years, and it&#8217;s going to make their WrestleMania match a must-see event.<\/p>\n<p>Balor getting his revenge on Mysterio is going to be the driving point behind this match, and<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/04\/08\/what-it-could-mean-for-finn-balor-to-bring-back-the-demon-at-wrestlemania-42\/\" target=\"_self\"> The Demon<\/a> is the perfect character to achieve this result. Balor\u2019s guise is going to allow him to go to places that he doesn\u2019t normally go. Dominik Mysterio will meet a violent end the crowd is going to eat it up.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rhea Ripley and Jade Cargill Will Surprise The Wrestling World <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/01\/16\/the-storm-without-the-rain-fixing-jade-cargill-and-her-wwe-womens-title-run\/\" target=\"_self\">Jade Cargill\u2019s\u00a0WWE Championship <\/a>reign hasn\u2019t exactly been setting the world on fire. She hasn\u2019t defended the title much, and most of her feuds have fallen flat. This could be since her opponents haven\u2019t presented a serious threat to her championship, which is something that is going to change when she takes on<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/03\/06\/brutality-on-the-grand-stage-ranking-rhea-ripleys-wrestlemania-matches\/\" target=\"_self\"> Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that not much is expected from this match means Ripley and Cargill will surprise a lot of people. In this battle, we are going to see two power wrestlers go to war. Their similarities will help keep this match exciting, and having Jade Cargill in the ring with the more seasoned Ripley will help keep the match botch-free. Rhea Ripley\u2019s popularity should also help to get the type of heat on Cargill that WWE is hoping for. If booked well, this match could be an underrated gem.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Masterful Double Turn Of WrestleMania Proportions <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When double turn and WrestleMania are mentioned in the same sentence, the mind goes back to the iconic event at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/03\/23\/never-quit-revisiting-steve-austin-vs-bret-hart-at-wrestlemania-13\/\" target=\"_self\">WrestleMania 13<\/a>, where Bret Hart and Steve Austin faced off. It\u2019s a moment that is looked upon fondly, and if WWE were up to it, they could pull off the same type of magic when Sami Zayn puts his United States Championship on the line against Trick Williams.<\/p>\n<p>The Sami Zayn heel turn has been simmering under the surface for a few weeks now, and it&#8217;s undeniable that Trick Williams has the crowd supporting him. As of right now, the two men are being portrayed in their usual babyface and heel roles, but that could change. If WWE goes\u00a0the way that the crowd is leaning, they could turn both men, allowing <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/01\/13\/why-trick-williams-is-wwe-smackdowns-next-major-player\/\" target=\"_self\">Trick Williams to win the United States Championship<\/a>. It may not match the impact of Austin and Hart, but it could be an effective way to bring more eyes to this WrestleMania match.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>CM Punk versus Roman Reigns <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What started with a whimper has gained steam into a fantastic WrestleMania build. It\u2019s helped tremendously that<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/02\/04\/ranking-roman-reigns-wwe-wrestlemania-main-events\/\" target=\"_self\"> Roman Reigns<\/a> has been present for most Raws, but even in his absence, CM Punk has done a great job of getting the crowd hyped for this main event.<\/p>\n<p>His pipe bomb promo on Raw proved why no one can hit a promo better than CM Punk. There is real tension between these two men, and that is going to make their match an iconic addition to WrestleMania\u2019s main event history.<\/p>\n<p>These are the two biggest stars in WWE, and seeing them go one-on-one for the World Heavyweight Championship is worth the pricy admission to WrestleMania. This isn\u2019t going to be a fast-paced, catch-as-catch-can match, with the action being more deliberate.<\/p>\n<p>The hatred they share will drive the action and make the slower pace palatable for everyone. It should also be noted that WWE can go in either direction with <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2026\/03\/17\/why-cm-punk-should-retain-vs-roman-reigns-at-wrestlemania-42\/\" target=\"_self\">Punk retaining<\/a> or Reigns winning the championship. It&#8217;s that type of ambiguity that makes this main event the one to watch.<\/p>\n<p>However, the outcome of this World Heavyweight Championship match will determine WWE\u2019s direction for the future. Both men have their merits, but only by watching the WrestleMania Night Two main event will we know where the company will go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WrestleMania 41 was a great two-night extravaganza.
