WrestleMania 42 Predictions After Elimination Chamber: Stone Cold Steve Austin Will Replace Roman Reigns

WrestleMania Predictions are here for April 19, 2026, live on ESPN Unlimited, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Stone Cold Steve Austin will replace Roman Reigns in the main event against CM Punk. When Roman Reigns picked CM Punk, it might have been a good decision for ZeBros, but it was a very bad decision for pro wrestling. With that being said, the following will provide some early match card predictions for Night 2 of WrestleMania 42 on April 19, 2026. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4Cbox4S9rfPQAIqd77dztP3geVc0ymXs&si=_y0gL11kB76dF1Da LA Knight & Jey Uso (c) vs. Vision [Undisputed Tag Titles] LA Knight and Jey Uso have been feuding with the Vision all year, so they would be more suitable for this tag match.

Roman Reigns has quietly taken a page from the Undertaker

You would be forgiven for forgetting this important professional wrestling fact, but Roman Reigns was the one who retired The Undertaker at WrestleMania nearly a decade ago. That match ended up being meaningless, because Taker kept taking dates afterwards, largely to cash fat checks from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - and so his real "retirement match" ended up being the Boneyard Match against AJ Styles a few years later during the COVID Era of WWE. Even though Roman's retirement of the Undertaker in a totally forgettable match in which his opponent could barely move has been washed away in terms of impact, Reigns has carried on his legacy in one small way going into another WrestleMania season. The 2026 Royal Rumble winner is on a collision course to face another historic Undertak...

Seth Rollins is about to change the course of WrestleMania 42 for Roman Reigns and CM Punk

Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns are the most inextricably linked wrestlers in WWE today. Their past is intertwined through The Shield and so many head to head battles, and while Roman is the one who truly ascended to the summit of this sport, in head to head battle, Rollins usually seemed to have The Tribal Chief's number. Due to injury, Rollins will not be competing at WWE WrestleMania 42 this year, but Reigns will, going after the world title on Monday Night Raw and its new champion CM Punk - another pro wrestler with bitterly bad blood with The Architect. The spats between Punk and Rollins are more recent and arguably just as personal. WWE have been keeping Rollins's recovery under wraps, but there is an unspoken feeling within the WWE fan base that Rollins will not be left out of t...

Roman Reigns is proving WWE right for the Paul Heyman betrayal

When Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman became an item in 2020, everyone knew that WWE were finally striking gold with an extremely talented professional wrestler whom Vince McMahon had been stubbornly shoehorning into a milquetoast babyface role. As usual, Vince was correct in his assertion that he had a future Hall of Famer in his hands in Roman, but it took him a circuitous route in order to finally make The Big Dog, The Tribal Chief. Reigns and Heyman held WWE television as a willing hostage for years, embarking upon what is the greatest modern day title run in history. And as Reigns gears up to face the other professional wrestler who can argue about having the greatest modern title run, CM Punk, at WrestleMania 42, a conclusion is in the minds of wrestling fans after watching the fir...

Ranking every Roman Reigns WWE WrestleMania match from worst to best

Roman Reigns is the biggest name out of all the full-time wrestlers in the current WWE, as his record-breaking run as the company's unified champion set him up as the most dominant champion of his era. For years prior to his heel turn and return to WWE during the COVID-19 pandemic, Roman was positioned just as dominantly on the card, albeit with only begrudging respect from the wider audience and a jarring lack of a character that resonated with more people than the most ardent supporters of the literal shield. Since The Shield's WrestleMania debut in 2013, Roman Reigns has been a fixture at the Show of Shows, and although his WrestleMania record as a babyface solo star was very rocky, his recent work as The Tribal Chief has been as phenomenal as WWE says it is. So as Reigns gears...

When will The Rock turn on Roman Reigns to set up WrestleMania 41 match?

The Rock made his return to WWE television on the debut episode of Raw on Netflix, and while he didn't have a whole of interesting things to SAY on the mic, other than show some respect to the two men he traded barbs with last year (Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns), he DID something quite intriguing, even if it was expected. If The Rock is going to show up on WWE television these days, then it had better mean something. And The Rock didn't just give WWE some extra rub to a more mainstream crowd perusing the show on their nightly Netflix plunge; he subtly sowed the seeds of a future turn on his cousin, Roman. Reigns vs. Rock has been rumored for years, pretty much ever since Reigns turned heel and started his journey as the Tribal Chief. Last year, The Rock returned to regular WWE progra...

How close is Roman Reigns to shattering Hulk Hogan’s record?

As the dominance of The Tribal Chief continues, can Roman Reigns break the record Hulk Hogan has held for nearly four decades? Since his shocking return at WWE Payback on August 30, 2020, there has been no stopping Roman Reigns. He defeated Braun Strowman and The Fiend to capture the Universal Championship, and Roman has yet to spend a single day without a World Championship since that moment. With his combined reign since unifying it with the WWE Championship into the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Roman Reigns is now knocking on the door of one of wrestling's longest held records. Few men have been champion for longer, but will Roman actually knock off the next longest reign? When would Roman Reigns break Hulk Hogan's WWE Championship record? WWE has continued to tout...

Ranking the 10 best wrestlers in WWE right now for 2023

Ranking the best professional wrestlers in WWE is even more difficult than ranking the best athletes in other sports - or even ranking wrestlers in another promotion. That's because in WWE, there is so much to consider. Not only do you have to think about the components of athleticism and in-ring story-telling (or the quality of the moves themselves at a technical level, accounting for varying styles), but you also have to think about everything that goes outside of the ring. That includes presence, promos, charisma, facial expressions, and even longevity/consistency. Comparing heels to faces, tag team wrestlers to singles wrestlers, and all sorts of other scenarios makes for an even greater challenge. But let's do our best to rank the 10 best wrestlers in WWE right now. 10. Jimmy U...

The parallel journeys Sami Zayn and Jey Uso have taken with Roman Reigns

The chair shot heard around the world. The echo of one man finally breaking free from the bonds of an emotional tie to a tribal chief too afraid of vulnerability to allow anything but fear and gaslighting to trauma bond those he believes to be close to him. The Royal Rumble main event may have seen Sami Zayn finally realize the manipulative nature of one Roman Reigns, but it was Jey Uso who received the ultimate wake-up call. https://twitter.com/wwe/status/1619565387368071169?s=61&t=LErHuYy3aL7GPa-nXurtcQ In the split seconds between Sami recreating Seth's betrayal of the shield and turning to apologize to the one person he sought acceptance from, a range of emotions from confusion to pain, to turmoil, and finally, an angry realization could be seen on Jey's face. Sami was faced ...
