This weekend, WWE puts on its most anticipated event of the year: WrestleMania 42. Live from the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, it’s the first-ever back-to-back WrestleMania in the same city. Across the two days, fans will see titles defended, possible title changes, and maybe even a few surprises (it’s WrestleMania, right?)

CM Punk defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns on night 2, their second-ever singles match. On night 1, there’s a possibility a new set of Women’s Tag Team Champions are crowned as well as a new Undisputed WWE Champion in Randy Orton.

Check out our predictions for WrestleMania 42 below…

WrestleMania 42 Saturday

Women’s Intercontinental Championship: AJ Lee (c) vs. Becky Lynch

This feud has been going on far too long at this stage, however, it’s exciting to see Lee head into a WrestleMania where she can have adequate time to tell a story. She comes from a generation of women in WWE who weren’t afforded that opportunity. To do so as champion, 10 years after “retirement,” it’ll be a moment fans never forget. With that being said I fully expect Lynch to reclaim the title.

Prediction: Becky Lynch wins

Seth Rollins vs. Gunther

This is one of the only non-title matches on night one, and I expect it’ll be a show stealer. Both men know how to put on a big match where it counts, and what’s a bigger deal than WrestleMania? It was a crime to see Gunther, one of the best stars in the company who retired Goldberg and John Cena last year, wasn’t on the card. There’s not a whole lot at stake here, but given Gunther’s recent dealings with Paul Heyman, I suspect there might be more to the story.

Prediction: Gunther wins

Women’s World Championship: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan

It’s hard to think of very many women in the WWE who are as big as Morgan is in........
