WWE releases star-studded WrestleMania 42 promo video
After days of teases, WWE has finally delivered its payoff — a new promo video for WrestleMania 42.
The teases began on social media over the weekend with mysterious videos that showed unidentified stars walking. Initial speculation was that this was hyping some kind of big return, but it was reported that the teases were actually for a WrestleMania 42 promo spot the company had produced.
That was proven to be the case with WWE unveiling the full video on Tuesday’s edition of The Pat McAfee Show. Paul “Triple H” Levesque narrates the promo — which also stars Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, and Paul Heyman.
Rhodes, Reigns, Punk, and Lesnar are sitting at a poker table for the promo, which has “Back in the Saddle” by Aerosmith playing.
“They say in Vegas, everyone’s got a tell, a blink, a breath, a moment that can’t be controlled,” Levesque says. “But the great ones, they use it to their advantage. They own it. They’ve got them right where they want them. The rest just haven’t figured it out yet.
“WrestleMania Vegas — it’s anyone’s game.”
The two-night event is taking place at Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, 2026. It’s the second straight year that WrestleMania has been held in Vegas. Two-day combo tickets are already on sale.
New Orleans was originally supposed to host WrestleMania 42 but will be getting a future edition of the event instead, though the year for that New Orleans WrestleMania has not been confirmed yet. All that’s been announced is Vegas hosting WrestleMania in 2026 and Saudi Arabia hosting the show in 2027.
