Wrestlemania 42 is finally here, and I’m here in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium to soak it all in and give you live updates on what’s happening inside the squared circle. With WWE’s biggest names set to face off, from Roman Reigns and CM Punk, to Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, we’ll let you know the winners of each match, who will be taking home a new championship belt, and, of course, those all-important surprise moments on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19.
It’s fair to say that this year’s run-up to Wrestlemania has been a bit rocky, to say the least — in no small part because of the reemergence of Pat McAfee — and some fun surprises have already been spoiled, such as the return of The Demon and John Cena as host, but I’m not going to let that dampen my spirit too much. There’s still plenty to be excited about on this card, with Oba Femi’s heavyweight clash with Brock Lesnar certainly looking like a headline attraction at this point. Maybe Paul Heyman isn’t actually lying when he calls it the “real main event of Wrestlemania.” That fight will be opening night two, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves too much.
