The biggest wrestling event of the year draws near with WrestleMania 42 set to take place in Las Vegas on Saturday and Sunday. As usual, WWE has loaded up WrestleMania with a mix of superstar wrestlers and the involvement of mainstream stars.

Thirteen matches have been declared for the two-day event. Night 1 will be headlined by Randy Orton challenging Cody Rhodes for the undisputed WWE championship. In a controversial twist to the match, Pat McAfee was revealed as the voice in Orton’s ear and now McAfee will have to leave the wrestling business forever if Orton fails to win on Saturday.

Saturday night has six more matches set. Among those is a singles match between Seth Rollins and Gunther. Rollins made a surprise return from an injury that’s kept him out of action for nearly six months. He came back as a masked man, wreaking havoc on his former faction, The Vision, before setting his sights on Paul Heyman. As he began to talk his former advisor, Gunther entered the picture and took him out. Now, the two former world champions look to settle the score in the ring. 

Plus, more bad blood spills over when Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre square off in an unsanctioned match. Fatu and McIntyre have feuded for months now, with each man costing the other at various points. The two have brawled all over the place, including on scaffolding on the side of a building where they both leapt off. Now, it’s anything goes when they meet on Saturday.

The Night 2 main event pits world heavyweight champion CM Punk against Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns. Reigns is looking to climb back to being a champion, having previously been champion for 1,316 days. Punk has invoked the ire of Reigns’ Samoan family, leading to questions over whether or not Reigns will truly go at it alone against the champion.
