\"Planned<\/p>\n

WWE<\/p>\n

The planned match order for night two of WWE WrestleMania 42 today, Sunday, April 19, 2026, has now emerged.<\/p>\n

The main event, as announced ahead of the show, is CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It had also been announced already that the opening match would be Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi kicking off the night.<\/p>\n

That match, along with the second bout \u2013 which will be the Intercontinental Championship ladder match \u2013 will air on ESPN proper before the rest of the card is paywalled behind the ESPN app.<\/p>\n

The rest of the card has now been reported by PWInsider<\/a>, at least as currently planned ahead of the show.<\/p>\n

The first match of that portion of the show, and third overall, is set to be the United States Championship bout with Sami Zayn defending against Trick Williams.<\/p>\n

Following that will be the \u2018Demon\u2019 Finn Balor vs Dominik Mysterio, which as announced during the official WWE Countdown show, will now be a street fight.<\/p>\n

The penultimate match of the night will see the WWE Women\u2019s Championship on the line between Jade Cargill and Rhea Ripley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And then as noted, the main event will be CM Punk vs Roman Reigns which is expected to feature some big time entrances as teased on the Countdown.<\/p>\n

So in summary, the match order will be as follows:<\/p>\n

Brock Lesnar vs. Oba Femi<\/p>\n

Intercontinental Championship ladder match<\/p>\n

Sami Zayn (c) vs. Trick Williams \u2013 United States Championship<\/p>\n

\u2018Demon\u2019 Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio \u2013 Street Fight<\/p>\n

Jade Cargill (c) vs. Rhea Ripley \u2013 WWE Women\u2019s Championship<\/p>\n

CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns \u2013 World Heavyweight Championship<\/p>\n

PWInsider\u2019s report also interestingly notes that there\u2019s an expectation that tonight\u2019s show will feature some longer matches compared to night one. There is of course one fewer match tonight than there was yesterday.<\/p>\n
