Powell’s POV: John Cena will be the host of WrestleMania 42. The Intercontinental Title match, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title match, Gunther vs. Rollins, and Dom vs. Balor were announced during Monday’s Raw. There was no mention of Dom defending the AAA Mega Championship, even though the title belt was draped over his shoulder in the match graphic that was used.
The Rhodes vs. Orton match is expected to headline night one, while the Punk vs. Reigns match is expected to close night two. WrestleMania has an early start time of 5CT/6ET for the main cards. The first hour of night one will be simulcast on ESPN2, and the first hour of night two will be simulcast on ESPN. Join me for my live review as the full event streams on ESPN Unlimited (and on Netflix internationally). Jake Barnett and I will co-host same-night audio reviews of WrestleMania nights one and two exclusively for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
