WrestleMania 42

WrestleMania 42, also promoted as WrestleMania Vegas, was a 2026 professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreamingevent produced by WWE. It was the 42nd annual WrestleMania and took place as a two-night event on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. Retired WWE wrestler and brand ambassador John Cena was the host for the event.

WrestleMania 42 was originally scheduled for April 11 and 12 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, but was moved to the Las Vegas Valley and delayed by a week due to the financial success of 2025's WrestleMania 41, with Las Vegas paying a higher fee to host the event again; Vegas also used the event as an incentive to boost tourism following a downward trend in 2025. It was the third WrestleMania in the Las Vegas area, including WrestleMania IX in 1993, and the second consecutive at the same venue, marking the second time WrestleMania was held at the same venue in consecutive years. In the United States, the event was the first WrestleMania to stream on the ESPN app as well as the first to air live on ESPN's linear channels, as the first hour of each night were simulcast on ESPN2 and ESPN, respectively.

The card comprised a total of 13 matches, with seven on Night 1 and six on Night 2. In the main event of Night 1, Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton to retain SmackDown's Undisputed WWE Championship. In other matches, Liv Morgan defeated Stephanie Vaquer to win Raw's Women's World Championship, Gunther defeated Seth Rollins, and in the opening bout, LA Knight and The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) defeated IShowSpeed and The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) in a six-man tag team match. The first night saw the returns of Paige, who last worked for WWE in 2022 but had not wrestled for the company since December 2017, and Bron Breakker, who had been out with an injury since February. Bianca Belair, who had been out for nearly a year due to an injury, also made an appearance to announce her pregnancy.

In the main event of Night 2, Roman Reigns defeated CM Punk to win Raw's World Heavyweight Championship. In other matches, Rhea Ripley defeated Jade Cargill to win SmackDown's WWE Women's Championship, Penta successfully defended Raw's WWE Intercontinental Championship in a six-man ladder match, and in the opening bout, Oba Femi defeated Brock Lesnar in what was the latter's final ever WrestleMania match due to his retirement at SummerSlam later that year, though Lesnar did initially tease a retirement after that match.
