The biggest wrestling weekend of the year is upon us. WWE WrestleMania 42 takes place this Saturday and Sunday from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. As expected for any WrestleMania, this weekend’s two-night event is loaded with big names and big matches.
Night 1 is headlined by Cody Rhodes putting the undisputed WWE championship on the line against Randy Orton. Orton has been aided by Pat McAfee in recent weeks, with the controversial storyline leading to a situation where McAfee must forever step away from the wrestling business should Orton fail to win the championship.
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.

The Night 2 main event is even bigger, with world heavyweight champion CM Punk defending his title against former champion Roman Reigns. The build to Punk vs. Reigns has been a roller coaster that saw both men express their hatred for the other, pull in The Usos, and finally admit a begrudging respect for one another.
