Fightful is reporting that WWE WrestleMania 42 Night One will open with the six-man tag team match featuring IShowSpeed, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory taking on LA Knight and The Usos. The show is then expected to be headlined by Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton, with Pat McAfee’s WWE future also on the line in the bout.
The placement of the IShowSpeed six-man tag as the opening match makes sense given its celebrity-driven entertainment value and ability to immediately energize the Allegiant Stadium crowd. Opening with a high-energy bout featuring one of the internet’s most recognizable personalities sets a tone for the night before the championship matches take center stage.
Bryan Alvarez separately reported that Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi will open WWE WrestleMania 42 Night Two — a decision driven by the match airing on ESPN in a free window designed to maximize exposure for the bout. The Intercontinental Championship ladder match featuring Penta, Je’Von Evans, Dragon Lee, Rusev, JD McDonagh, and Rey Mysterio is also confirmed for Night Two on ESPN. WrestleMania 42 takes place April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, airing on ESPN Unlimited in the US and Netflix internationally.
