Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns will challenge World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk for his title in what will presumably be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/415394\/roman-reigns-vs-cm-punk-wrestlemania-42-main-event-wwe-raw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">main event<\/a> of the second night of action from Sin City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But what about the rest of the card?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">According to a new report from <a href=\"http:\/\/fightfulselect.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fightful Select<\/a>, the so called \u201coriginal plans\u201d for the event have \u201csimply not been presented\u201d and what\u2019s more, \u201ca lot\u201d of the card is still under discussion. Liv Morgan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cagesideseats.com\/wwe\/414640\/royal-rumble-winner-2026-liv-morgan\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">won<\/a> the Royal Rumble and has yet to choose between Women\u2019s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer and Women\u2019s Champion Jade Cargill. The winner of the women\u2019s Elimination Chamber match, naturally, will face whoever is left after that choice is made. This also means Drew McIntyre will defend his WWE championship against whomever wins the men\u2019s Elimination Chamber match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The rest of the card is wide open, and it\u2019s hard telling if this means plans for matches like Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker have been changed or were simply never made in the first place. One would think AJ Lee would be involved in some capacity but we\u2019ve scarcely heard a word on that front since her last big show at Survivor Series late last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And what about names like Brock Lesnar, GUNTHER, Cody Rhodes, Jacob Fatu, Sami Zayn, and even Logan Paul?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I guess we\u2019ll just have to stay tuned, but the fact that there isn\u2019t a very clear direction right now for most of the card is indicative of where creative stands within all of WWE right now. Reigns and Punk are going to carry the day, and they proved they can do just that with their personal issues being used as fodder for their feud, but we should be expecting better for the rest of the card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As of this past week\u2019s episode of Monday Night Raw, just one match is officially scheduled for WrestleMania&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456027,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88,165350,4366,8316,4367],"class_list":{"0":"post-456026","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-wrestlemania-42","10":"tag-wwe","11":"tag-wwe-raw","12":"tag-wwe-smackdown"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456026","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456026"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456026\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456026"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456026"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456026"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
