Evento principal da noite 1 do WrestleMania 42 oficial: Campeão Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton

A WWE confirmou Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes pelo Undisputed WWE Championship como o main event da Noite 1 do WrestleMania 42, após a vitória de Orton no Men's Elimination Chamber e a recente reconquista do título por Rhodes de Drew McIntyre. A mudança descarta um plano inicial de Hell in a Cell com McIntyre, com Rhodes chamando-o de potencial 'melhor WrestleMania de todos os tempos'.

Randy Orton garantiu sua chance pelo título no WrestleMania 42 ao vencer o Men's Elimination Chamber Match de 2026, acertando um RKO em Cody Rhodes após a interferência de Drew McIntyre custar a vitória a Rhodes. O GM do SmackDown Nick Aldis então marcou Rhodes vs. McIntyre pelo Undisputed WWE Championship no episódio de 6 de março de 2026 em Portland, onde Rhodes recuperou o cinturão como esperado. A WWE mudou para esse confronto Orton-Rhodes no início de fevereiro de 2026, afastando-se de um Hell in a Cell planejado entre Rhodes e McIntyre. A decisão aproveita a profunda história deles — do stable Legacy e do triple threat no WrestleMania 26 de 2009 até provocações recentes de traição — misturando o legado veterano de Orton (buscando um 15º título mundial aos 46 anos) com Rhodes como o rosto moderno da WWE. Agora oficial, o headliner da Noite 1 em Las Vegas ancora o card. Em uma entrevista à Complex Graps, Rhodes promoveu o evento: “Do sino ao sino, acho que eles vão ter um dos melhores Manias, se não o melhor de todos os tempos”, chamando-o de 'Sleeper Mania' com apostas altas. Quatro lutas foram anunciadas: Rhodes vs. Orton, Roman Reigns vs. CM Punk (main da Noite 2), Liv Morgan vs. Stephanie Vaquer e Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill. Provocações continuam para Jacob Fatu, Sami Zayn e outros, em meio a esforços para impulsionar as vendas de ingressos.
