Full WrestleMania 42 weekend schedule: SmackDown and Raw to Hall of Fame and more

WWE returns to Las Vegas with a jam-packed weekend for a second consecutive year.

WrestleMania 42 will highlight the weekend (April 18-19), serving as the company's biggest event of the year.

The show will continue its two-day format and be held at Allegiant Stadium. WWE’s flagship shows, RAW and SmackDown, will bookend the big event.

Roman Reigns will take on CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event on Sunday, April 19.

CM Punk will finally have the opportunity to close out the show in the main event at WrestleMania, making it known for years that it was among his career goals. The 47-year-old champion made his return to WWE in November 2023 after leaving the company in January 2014.

Reigns will complete in his 11th WrestleMania main event, adding to the WWE record he already holds. He will have the opportunity to tie Hulk Hogan at seven for the most WrestleMania main event victories if he is successful this weekend.
