The biggest wrestling event of the year draws near with WrestleMania 42 set to take place in Las Vegas on Saturday and Sunday. As usual, WWE has loaded up WrestleMania with a mix of superstar wrestlers and the involvement of mainstream stars.
Thirteen matches have been announced for the two-day event. Night 1 will be headlined by Randy Orton challenging Cody Rhodes for the undisputed WWE championship. In a controversial twist to the match, Pat McAfee was revealed as the voice in Orton's ear and now McAfee will have to leave the wrestling business forever if Orton fails to win on Saturday.
The Night 2 main event pits world heavyweight champion CM Punk against Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns. Reigns is looking to climb back to being a champion, having previously been champion for 1,316 days. Punk has invoked the ire of Reigns' Samoan family, leading to questions over whether or not Reigns will truly go at it alone against the champion.
Eight of the 13 announced matches are for championships and even those matches with no gold on the line feature big stars, including Seth Rollins vs. Gunther and Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi.
