WWE WrestleMania 42 Night 2 Sunday Predicted Match Order
With Night 1 in the books and Cody Rhodes beating Randy Orton to retain the Undisputed WWE Championship, WWE WrestleMania 42 Night 2 is set up to (hopefully) give us a far better finale than Night 1, headlined by CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Predicted Night 2 Match Order
Going by what we already know, so the opener and the main event, here is how I predict the card will go tonight:
- Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar
- Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match: Penta (c) vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Dragon Lee vs. JD McDonagh vs. Rusev vs. Rey Mysterio
- Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio
- United States Championship Match: Sami Zayn (c) vs. Trick Williams
- WWE Women’s Championship Match: Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
- World Heavyweight Championship Match: CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns
Every match prediction
Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar
Night 2 starts with the tone-setter, and Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar is being treated as a generational passing‑of‑the‑torch hoss battle. Femi is only 27, and this bout as the chance for a new under‑30 ace to break through in the same way Lesnar once did, which makes the opener a high‑impact showcase built for SportsCenter replays.
Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match
The Intercontinental Championship ladder match is pure chaos by design, making perfect sense in the second slot where WWE typically throws in a multi‑man stunt fest to keep the early crowd molten. Penta has been positioned as one of the hottest acts in the company in recent months, but I’m personally split between him retaining and Je’Von Evans stealing the win.
Finn Balor vs Dominik Mysterio
Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio is a classic mid‑card grudge match that acts as the first come down from the ladder insanity while still leaning heavily on Judgment Day drama. Long‑term booking favors Dominik sneaking a win with help, but Balor could take it to re‑establish his credibility after a rocky year.
United States Championship Match
The United States Championship match between Sami Zayn and Trick Williams is the perfect bridge into the top‑of‑the‑card stretch, as it combines a beloved veteran workhorse with a rising newer star in a match most predictions have pegged as Trick’s breakout title win.
WWE Women’s Championship Match
Jade Cargill vs. Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s Championship is the logical semi‑main because it’s a match between two protected powerhouses, with four of Night 2’s six matches already featuring titles and this one being pushed as the marquee women’s encounter of the weekend. Cargill has been heavily promoted as a crossover star, but Ripley’s long‑term aura and proven big‑match pedigree give this the feel of a protect them both likely finish in the penultimate match of the night.
World Heavyweight Championship Match
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship is the unquestioned main event of WrestleMania 42. Reigns got here by winning the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble as the final entrant and Punk is still one of the biggest names on the roster, so there is zero chance this goes on anywhere but last.
