The Showcase of the Immortals returns for its second night — and it’s saving the best for last

Night 1 of WrestleMania 42 is done and dusted. Cody Rhodes retained his title over Randy Orton in front of a thunderous crowd at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. But if you thought Saturday was electric, Sunday is shaping up to be something truly special.

Night 2 of WrestleMania 42 features six matches — four of them title bouts — headlined by one of the most emotionally layered rivalries in recent WWE history: CM Punk vs Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.

Here’s everything you need to know before the show kicks off.

Match-by-Match Preview

Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar — Opening the Show with a Bang

What began as an open challenge has evolved into a full-blown collision of generations. This is Oba Femi’s passing-of-the-torch moment — a chance to prove on the grandest stage that he belongs in the same conversation as the biggest names in WWE history. Lesnar, no stranger to WrestleMania moments, will not make it easy. Expect fireworks from bell one.

Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match — The Show-Stealer Candidate

Six competitors. One ladder. One title. This match has show-stealer written all over it. Penta defends the Intercontinental Championship against a field that includes the high-flying Rey Mysterio, the explosive Je’Von Evans, and the dangerous Dragon Lee. With bodies flying and ladders crashing, this will close out the first hour of Night 2 and leave jaws on the floor.

Sami Zayn (c) vs Trick Williams — United States Championship

With rapper Lil Yachty in his corner, Trick Williams arrives at his WrestleMania debut with momentum, charisma, and a point to prove. Sami Zayn, meanwhile, has been drawing increasing heat from crowds since his title win — reports suggest a double turn may be on the cards, with Williams going full babyface and Zayn embracing the heel role. Either way, this one has the potential to be an emotional crowd-pleaser.

“The Demon” Finn Balor vs Dominik Mysterio — Judgment Day’s Darkest Night

The Demon is back. Finn Balor resurrects his most feared persona to settle scores with Dominik Mysterio — the man who had him ousted from Judgment Day. With the faction expected to interfere, and the Demon’s otherworldly presence looming, this match carries a compelling personal narrative that fans have been waiting months to see resolved.

Jade Cargill (c) vs Rhea Ripley — WWE Women’s Championship

The most physically imposing women’s match in recent WrestleMania memory. Jade Cargill defends her title against 2026 Elimination Chamber winner Rhea Ripley, who is motivated by payback for months of vicious attacks. Cargill’s unlikely alliance with B-Fab and Michin adds intrigue. But Ripley has never looked more dangerous. According to WWE’s official match page, this has all the hallmarks of a WrestleMania classic.

CM Punk (c) vs Roman Reigns — World Heavyweight Championship (Main Event)

This is the one. The night’s culmination. CM Punk — the World Heavyweight Champion — against Roman Reigns, the 2026 Royal Rumble winner. The feud has been as layered as any in recent memory, blending personal history, mutual respect, and fierce competition into one of the most anticipated WrestleMania main events in years. Reigns wants his glory back. Punk wants to prove he’s the top of the mountain. Las Vegas will be on its feet for every second of this one.
