• WWE’s Plan For WrestleMania 42 – Night 2 Main Event
WWE is already shaping the top of the WrestleMania 42 card, and the company’s long-term creative plans have shifted significantly following Seth Rollins’ shoulder injury at Crown Jewel. The original idea for the WrestleMania 42 – Night 2 main event has now changed, opening the door for multiple major possibilities.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins was locked in as the Night 2 main event for WrestleMania 42. With Rollins now out, the updated direction puts Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk, or Reigns vs whoever holds one of the World Titles by then as the current plan.
WWE’s booking for its biggest names is reportedly being done with both WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas and WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia in mind.
WWE is expected to drop more clues about the main event of WrestleMania 42 tonight during the Men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series, which will see World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and The Usos taking on Brock Lesnar, The Vision (Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed), Drew McIntyre, and Logan Paul.
