Early plans for the match order at WrestleMania 42 are beginning to emerge as WWE finalizes its lineup for the two-night event in Las Vegas.
According to WrestleVotes Radio, the current plan is for the six-man tag team match featuring Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and IShowSpeed against The Usos and LA Knight to open Night One on Saturday, April 18. Meanwhile, Night Two on Sunday, April 19 is expected to kick off with Oba Femi taking on Brock Lesnar.
As with all internal planning, these match placements remain subject to change.
The report also notes that ESPN pushed for Lesnar to be prominently featured across its platforms as part of WrestleMania coverage, a request WWE reportedly agreed to accommodate.
WrestleMania 42 will once again take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, marking just the second time in the event’s history that the same venue has hosted WrestleMania in consecutive years following WrestleMania 41 in 2025. John Cena is set to serve as host across both nights, while the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is scheduled for Friday, April 17.
