WWE‘s WrestleMania 42 card received two significant additions following this week’s SmackDown. Sami Zayn, the new WWE Intercontinental Champion following his victory over Carmelo Hayes, will defend the title against Trick Williams at the two-night event in Las Vegas. Additionally, Nick Aldis officially announced that Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu will battle in an Unsanctioned Match — meaning WWE will not be held liable for what either man does to the other inside that environment.
The Unsanctioned Match stipulation was announced in a dramatic SmackDown segment where McIntyre stood on the stage and Fatu was in the ring. Aldis intervened before the two could come to blows, stating that both men would be healed by WrestleMania and booking the match with the unsanctioned stipulation to contain the violence they’ve already been inflicting on each other.
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Randy Orton (Night 1). World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns (Night 2). WWE Women’s Championship: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley. Women’s World Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan. WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship: AJ Lee (c) vs. Becky Lynch.
