It's WrestleMania season, and it's been quite the strange ride, with WWE and TKO seemingly changing their minds about the card every week for the last several months. The Grandest Stage of Them All has been hindered by news stories about high ticket prices, low ticket sales, and fan frustration over bad creative choices. Thankfully, though, with less than two weeks to go, the WrestleMania 42 card has been revealed in full by ESPN, and we now know who's wrestling on both nights!

WrestleMania 42 Night One Will Be Main Evented By Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton

On ESPN's Get Up morning show, ESPN football and WWE commentator Joe Tessitore was on hand to reveal the full WrestleMania 42 card for Saturday and Sunday night, April 18 and April 19, in Las Vegas. It's been known for weeks that night one will be main evented by Cody Rhodes defending his WWE Championship against his former friend and Elimination Chamber winner Randy Orton, but who else is scheduled?

The Usos and LA Knight vs Logan Paul, Austin Theory, and IShowSpeed in a six-man tag team match
Jacob Fatu vs Drew McIntyre in an Unsanctioned Match
Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship
Nia Jax and Lash Legend (c) vs The Bella Twins vs Bayley and Lyra Valkyria vs Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss in a Fatal 4-Way match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship
AJ Lee (c) vs Becky Lynch for the Women's Intercontinental Championship
Seth Rollins vs Gunther

The first hour of WrestleMania 42 Saturday will air live on ESPN2, which will include both the unsanctioned and six-man tag match.

WrestleMania 42 Night Two Will Be Main Evented By CM Punk and Roman Reigns

WrestleMania 42 night two will end with a bitter battle between World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns. Here's what's set for the rest of the show.

Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi
Penta (c) vs Rey Mysterio vs Rusev vs Dragon Lee vs JD McDonagh vs Je'Von Evans in a ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship
Sami Zayn (c) vs Trick Williams for the United States Championship
Finn Balor as "The Demon" vs Dominik Mysterio
Jade Cargill (c) vs Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women's Championship

WrestleMania Sunday will have two matches, Femi vs. Lesnar and the Intercontinental Championship ladder match, airing on the first hour of ESPN and not ESPN2.

Whether more gets added, such as Carmelo Hayes being put in the US title bout, or matches made for the likes of Giulia vs Tiffany Stratton and Asuka vs Iyo Sky, remains to be seen. They could also be part of the SmackDown before WrestleMania, which has, in a way, become a WrestleMania pre-show.
