was a shoot unless it was a work<\/a>, and then won the Elimination Chamber to earn this title match at WrestleMania. Cargill needed backup to deal with The Eradicator, so she got Michin and B-Fab to turn on Rhea and join up with her as The Baddies. They used the numbers game to their advantage to help Cargill lay out Ripley multiple times with her finishing move. Rhea responded by bringing her best friend IYO SKY into the mix. Despite having her own story with Asuka and Kairi Sane, IYO is now playing the role of Rhea\u2019s side kick at WrestleMania to neutralize Jade\u2019s low card henchwomen.<\/p>\nAs far as the promos go, Jade says her arms are bigger than Rhea\u2019s and she is more powerful, which makes her a better champion. Rhea says Jade\u2019s impressive body is built for show but it\u2019s not built for fighting. That means Rhea can survive Jade\u2019s best shot, but the same won\u2019t be true in reverse. Perhaps we will find out if that\u2019s accurate when they clash over the WWE women\u2019s championship tonight.<\/p>\n
Sami Zayn (c) vs. Trick Williams for the United States championship<\/p>\n
Sami Zayn was down in the dumps on the road to WrestleMania after blowing his latest WWE championship match at Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. He smashed a lot of water bottles backstage while grilling top stars like Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton to try figuring out what he needs to do to stop being such a loser.<\/p>\n
Zayn finally realized that he can\u2019t be so concerned about doing the right thing all the time, and instead needs to take advantage of opportunities. That\u2019s exactly what he did when he beat Carmelo Hayes for the US title after Trick Williams accidentally attacked Melo. The fans have been booing Sami Hogan since then, and he says he doesn\u2019t understand why.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Trick talks and works like a heel, but the fans have fallen in love with him ever since he joined the main roster at the start of 2026. He\u2019s been a thorn in Sami\u2019s side the entire time and mocks him as the \u201cGingerbread Man.\u201d Trick now gets to be an even bigger pain in Sami\u2019s ass by taking this belt from him at WrestleMania. Lil Yachty has been supporting Trick in recent weeks, but Zayn took his head off with a Helluva Kick.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Demon\u201d Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio<\/p>\n
Finn and Dominik coexisted much longer in The Judgment Day than it looked like they would at this time last year, but their relationship fell apart last month after Mysterio blamed Balor for his Intercontinental title loss to Penta. Finn committed an unforgivable sin by saying Rey was right about his son being a spoiled little shit, so the Judgment Day turned on Balor. Babyface Finn is now bringing back his Demon form at WrestleMania to pay back Dom for that beating, as well as everything else they\u2019ve been through together over the last few years. If night one of WrestleMania is any indication, The Demon\u2019s entrance might just be longer than the actual match time.<\/p>\n
Penta (c) vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Je\u2019Von Evans vs. Dragon Lee vs. Rusev vs. JD McDonagh in a Ladder match for the Intercontinental title (ESPN)<\/p>\n
Penta needed a title defense at WrestleMania after recently winning the Intercontinental championship, so WWE put him in a ladder match that features some pretty great workers, as well as one of the brightest young stars on the main roster, Je\u2019Von Evans. This one could easily steal the show on night two of WrestleMania 42, and you can watch it on ESPN\u2019s cable channel during the first hour of the event.<\/p>\n
Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar (ESPN)<\/p>\n
The build to WrestleMania 42 has been bad, underwhelming, and\/or chaotic at times, but one story that WWE has absolutely nailed is newcomer Oba Femi\u2019s pursuit of Brock Lesnar. The Ruler quickly asserted his dominance by popping Brock up for a thunderous powerbomb as he answered his open challenge for WrestleMania. Lesnar has yet to get the better of Femi in their confrontations since then.<\/p>\n
The fans can\u2019t get enough of Oba and are anticipating that he will conquer The Conqueror to cement himself as the next big thing in WWE. Paul Heyman says this is the real main event of WrestleMania 42, even though it is kicking the night off on ESPN\u2019s cable channel. Brock\u2019s style of very brief, suplex-heavy matches can be hit or miss, so it\u2019s far from a lock that this one will live up the hype once the bell rings. Will anybody in the crowd be holding up a \u201cIf Brock Wins We Riot\u201d sign?<\/p>\n
In addition to the six scheduled matches tonight, I\u2019m still waiting for Danhausen to meet John Cena, who is hosting the event. You just never know what surprises are in store outside the matches, such as Bianca Belair\u2019s pregnancy announcement last night.<\/p>\n
