The WrestleMania 42 card was announced on Tuesday with only a few days left before the two-night spectacle takes place in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium.
Three major matches have already stood out to WWE fans as the buildup for them has taken weeks. Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Elimination Chamber winner Randy Orton, CM Punk will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns and two behemoths – Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi – will collide in what is expected to be an epic bout between two titans.

There will also be some celebrity involvement. Pat McAfee, to the consternation of fans, aligned himself with Orton and will likely be featured in the title match in some way. Popular stream IShowSpeed is also involved in a six-man tag team match with Logan Paul and Austin Theory as they take on Jey and Jimmy Uso and LA Knight.
