WWE is officially set to kick off the road to WrestleMania 42 at the 2026 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event (PLE) in just a few weeks. Reports suggest that the company has most of the WrestleMania 42 card planned out.

According to BodySlam.net, WWE has “clear plans” for WrestleMania 42, scheduled for April, as long as no unforeseen complications arise, such as unexpected injuries. The report indicates that the majority of the top matches for WrestleMania are currently in place, although specific match details have yet to be announced.

WrestleMania 42 will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 18th and 19th. In the meantime, the 2026 Royal Rumble has one official match confirmed, in addition to the traditional men’s and women’s Rumble matches. Drew McIntyre, who won the Undisputed WWE Championship on last week's SmackDown, will defend his title. His opponent will be determined in a Fatal 4-Way Match during Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 24th.
