After a long road of build up, controversial angles, and ticket sale discourse, both nights of WWE WrestleMania 42 are closer than ever, with only a week and a half before the marquee event. While WWE has a full card ready to go, the question was how would the company would divide these matches up between the two nights. That question was answered this morning on ESPN’s “Get Up,” when WWE revealed their lineups for Night One and Night Two of WrestleMania.

Both nights will follow the same formula, with the first two matches airing on ESPN, while the rest of the shows will air on ESPN’s streaming service. Night One will kick off with streamer IShowSpeed teaming with Austin Theory and Logan Paul of The Vision to take on LA Knight and The Usos, followed by Jacob Fatu vs. Drew McIntyre in an Unsanctioned Match. 

While the order of the rest of Night One’s card is unconfirmed, it will feature Liv Morgan challenging Stephanie Vaquer for the WWE Women’s World Championship, Becky Lynch challenging AJ Lee for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, Nia Jax and Lash Legend defending the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in a four-way match, Seth Rollins vs. GUNTHER, and Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for the Undisputed WWE Championship.

Night Two will kick off with Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi, and a six-way ladder match for Penta’s WWE Intercontinental Championship. Those matches will be followed by Rhea Ripley challenging Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship, Trick Williams challenging Sami Zayn for the WWE United States Championship, Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio, and CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

At the moment, this means WrestleMania 42 will feature 13 matches, with seven featured on Night One and six featured on Night Two. With Asuka vs. IYO Sky expected to be added to the WrestleMania card, it is possible the match could wind up on Night Two to give both nights seven matches each.

Trick Williams will feature at WrestleMania for the first time later this month, and his excitement is through the roof. He will also have support when he faces off against Sami Zayn, with his mother set to be by his side despite rehabbing from knee surgery.

Williams will go up against Zayn for the United States title at WrestleMania 42, and being on the WrestleMania card means a lot to him. He recently spoke to “ESPN” and revealed that his mother will be flying out to Las Vegas for the mega event, even though she recently underwent knee replacement surgery and is currently rehabbing to recover.

“It means a lot to me [to be on the WrestleMania card]. My mom, she’s coming to Las Vegas and she said, ‘I couldn’t miss this for the world.’ She’s got a knee replacement and you know, she’s rehabbing every single day. She said, ‘Baby, I ain’t going to miss your first WrestleMania.’ So, I got to put on the show, man. She coming out to Las Vegas. We going to have a good time. This my first WrestleMania. I’m on cloud nine, man. I’m ecstatic and I’m about to put on the show, man. I’mma show out like I never showed out before.”

Williams has had quite a swift rise since debuting on the main roster in January. His match at WrestleMania against Zayn will, in fact, be his first title shot since arriving on the main roster. But Williams has some experience being in title matches from his time in “WWE NXT,” where he held the NXT Championship and the North American title, experience that should hold him in good standing before his massive clash against Zayn.

The pre-empted edition of “AEW Collision” that aired on April 2, 2026, saw a dip in both average viewership and ratings. 

The show moved away from its usual Saturday night slot to Thursday due to NCAA March Madness coverage on TNT, and it seems that the change in schedule affected the viewership numbers. The average viewership for the show, which aired from the Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg, was 373,000, as per “Programming Insider.” This is a sizable drop from the previous week’s show — that aired live on its regular timeslot — which drew an average audience of 476,000 viewers. Last week’s show also drew less than the four-week average, which stands at 435,000, according to “Wrestlenomics.” “Collision also” saw a drop in the key 18–49 demographic rating, decreasing from 0.08 to 0.07, which matched its four-week average.

The April 2 show featured a host of matches, including an AEW TBS Championship match, where Willow Nightingale retained her title against Hikaru Shida, while Jon Moxley got the better of Anthony Bowens in a Continental Championship Eliminator match. The highlight of the night was perhaps Adam Copeland and Christian Cage’s assault on AEW World Tag Team Champions, FTR. 

This coming week’s “Collision,” from the Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada, will also be a taped edition, but will go back to its Saturday timeslot.

The Randy Orton-Cody Rhodes storyline has seen the addition of celebrities like Jelly Roll and Pat McAfee, and the latter has now stated that Jelly Roll shouldn’t have got involved in it. 

The award-winning singer and Orton share a friendship that developed after they teamed together last year at SummerSlam, but that bond didn’t stop “The Viper” from attacking Jelly Roll when he tried to calm him down on “WWE SmackDown” a few weeks ago. Now, McAfee — who recently aligned with Orton and also has a close relationship with Jelly Roll — has said that the musician made a bad choice that night.

“Jelly Roll took an RKO from Randy. He got caught in the middle there. I don’t think he made the right decision to kind of place himself there. I love Jelly Roll. Obviously, I was there whenever he got inducted into Grand Ole Opry. Lucky to be there. Thankful to be there. He obviously is a multiple time Grammy award winner, and his concerts, I mean, sell out stadiums alongside Post [Malone] doing it again. I love Jelly Roll. He just made a flat-out strategic error trying to get in there and do that,” said McAfee on “The Pat McAfee Show.” “And did he know that, you know, Randy was on an absolute kill spree, you know, because it’s much bigger than just right now, this is for future generations. Also, 15 world titles, but also like let’s do this whole thing. Jelly didn’t know that.”

The former NFL star, in hindsight, feels he should’ve warned Jelly Roll about the current mentality of Orton, to save himself from the beating he took from him. McAfee also gave his thoughts on returning to the ring, claiming that he felt alive when he stepped inside the squared circle and landed a cheap shot on Rhodes.

Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre has explained why he had to win the title from Cody Rhodes in January.

McIntyre secured a surprise win over Rhodes in January, which was his fourth world title reign in WWE, and thinks that the title change was needed to spice things up on “WWE SmackDown.”

“[The title win was] Awesome. Nobody saw it coming for one. I think everybody assumed that the Cody Express would keep moving on forward. He’s been in that position for a long time and after he finished the story, he was on absolute fire. And I’m not saying he wasn’t doing a great job. He’s a great champion. He’s a great performer, but it was a lot of the same. And I think there needed to be a shakeup. And there was a shakeup that no one saw coming when I won in Berlin,” he said on “Insight.”

The Scotsman is convinced that Rhodes needed to be put in a position where he could chase for the title once again, which he feels “The American Nightmare” was missing.

“And I could hear — my hearing is not great these days — and I could hear the crowd, I could hear the response, I could see the response, and it put Cody in a position where he had to chase. Gave Cody a bit of that edge back which he, in my opinion, desperately needed. And for me, it gave me some of that legitimacy, [saying] ‘Oh yeah, Drew can win the big one and we’re not going to be so sympathetic. We need to start cheering for this guy,'” said McIntyre.

McIntyre also argued that him winning the world title from Rhodes made “SmackDown” more compelling to watch, not just because Rhodes had to chase the title, but also because McIntyre’s character was hated by fans. The brief title run was even more special for McIntyre, as he got to walk out to the ring with the world title in his home country of Scotland for the first time in his career.
