New reports have revealed additional details about the expected match lineup and structure for WrestleMania 42.
According to WrestleVotes Radio, WWE creative has discussed the possibility of featuring six women’s matches across the two-night event. At least five of those matches are reportedly already considered firm plans, which would mark the highest number of women’s bouts ever featured at a WrestleMania.
Additional reporting from BodySlam.net suggests that the overall match count for the show will be substantial. Sources indicated the card is expected to feature at least 14 matches across both nights, while another source noted the final number could reach as high as 16 matches.
Another notable update involves the event’s start time. Both nights of WrestleMania are now expected to begin at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, which is one hour earlier than the originally announced start time.
