Plans for WrestleMania 42 Title Matches Begin to Take Shape – With WrestleMania 42 heavily promoted as one of WWE’s biggest events ever, attention is starting to turn toward how the match card may ultimately come together. Early reports suggest that WWE is considering several major matchups, including the possibility of a high-profile triple threat title bout on the grandest stage of them all.
Drew McIntyre continued his strong run at the 2026 Royal Rumble by defeating Sami Zayn, further solidifying his position near the top of the card. McIntyre also played a pivotal role later in the night by interfering in the Men’s Royal Rumble match, costing Cody Rhodes a chance at victory. That moment appears to have set the foundation for McIntyre’s WrestleMania direction.
WWE’s current plan is for Cody Rhodes to face Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 42. The report adds that this matchup may not remain a standard singles bout. on F4WOnline, Dave Meltzer noted that Jacob Fatu could be added to the contest, which would turn the match into a triple threat for the World Heavyweight Championship. If finalized, the addition of Fatu would significantly change the dynamic of the match and elevate it into one of the marquee title bouts of the event.
Beyond the World Heavyweight Title picture, WWE is also mapping out a major non-title attraction. Meltzer reported that the planned WrestleMania match for Roman Reigns is a one-on-one showdown with CM Punk. The two previously crossed paths at last year’s WrestleMania in a triple threat that also included Seth Rollins. This time, the reported plan calls for Reigns and Punk to meet without any additional competitors, positioning the match as one of the top attractions of the weekend.
WrestleMania 42 is scheduled as a two-night event in Las Vegas, and WWE is expected to continue filling out the card with additional high-profile matches. While plans remain subject to change, early indications suggest WWE is aiming for a lineup built around established main event names and major title implications.
