WWE WrestleMania 42 Main Events Before Seth Rollins’ Injury Revealed
WWE WrestleMania 42 is set to feature significant matchups, heightening anticipation among fans. Two main events have been confirmed, with slight alterations due to recent developments.
Main Events for WrestleMania 42
The first main event will showcase CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns. In the second headlining match, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre will face Cody Rhodes. There is also a possibility of Jacob Fatu being added to this matchup.
Changing Plans and Injuries
According to wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer from F4WOnline.com, the initial plans for these matches have undergone changes. The original concept featured Seth Rollins defending his title against Reigns. This matchup had been in the works since Rollins won a three-way match at the previous WrestleMania and acquired Paul Heyman from Reigns.
The second planned match had Rhodes defending against Punk in a rare babyface versus babyface scenario. However, following Rollins’ shoulder injury, WWE adjusted the lineup. Initially, Reigns was set to face Cody, but the plans shifted again after McIntyre won the WWE Championship from Cody.
Previous Royal Rumble Speculations
Before the updates to the WrestleMania card, there were rumors of Bron Breakker winning the Royal Rumble with the intention of challenging Punk. However, WWE ultimately crowned Reigns as the Rumble winner, changing the dynamics of the main events at WrestleMania 42.
Summary of Key Matches
- World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns
- WWE Championship: Drew McIntyre vs. Cody Rhodes
- Potential addition: Jacob Fatu
The evolving storylines surrounding WWE WrestleMania 42 illustrate the excitement and unpredictability characteristic of professional wrestling. Fans eagerly await the action and drama set to unfold in these marquee matchups.
