WrestleMania 42 kicks off this weekend at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with Cody Rhodes facing Randy Orton in a multigenerational clash that's been brewing for nearly two decades. The match gained unexpected attention when Pat McAfee entered the fray, claiming WWE has lost its way and needs to return to the Attitude Era.

McAfee's involvement stems from a bizarre contract signing where he allegedly inspired Orton to attack Rhodes, leading to a chaotic buildup involving musician Jelly Roll. Meanwhile, the main event of Night 2 features CM Punk challenging Roman Reigns for the world heavyweight championship, a feud fueled by decade-old resentment and personal animosity. Reigns selected Punk specifically because he hates him, setting up what promises to be an emotionally charged showdown.

Other marquee matches include Liv Morgan challenging Stephanie Vaquer for the women's world title after their brutal feud escalated with sneak attacks and broken furniture, while Jade Cargill defends her women's championship against Rhea Ripley in what has become a one-sided rivalry. The weekend also features Becky Lynch attempting to finally overcome AJ Lee after months of frustration and submission losses. With two nights of action and countless storylines converging, WrestleMania 42 aims to deliver the spectacle and drama that defines WWE's biggest event of the year.
