WrestleMania 42 Tips and Predictions
Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes - WWE Undisputed Championship
Sunday, April 19, 9:00am AEST - Allegiant Stadium
All roads lead to Sin City as this dramatic storyline finally comes to a head.
Randy Orton made it out of the Elimination Chamber to book his place to fight for the highest honour in the WWE, the Undisputed Championship.
But it’s his opponent, the incumbent champion Cody Rhodes, the “American Nightmare” who will have everyone’s attention as he defends his title.
The legendary Randy Orton has well and truly earned his nickname, “Legend Killer,” and he is the favourite to take Rhodes out and teach the champ some respect.
Betting Tip: Randy Orton.
Liv Morgan vs Stephanie Vaquer - Women’s World Championship Prediction
Monday, April 20, 9:00am AEST - Allegiant Stadium
The Women’s World Championship is on the line as the 2026 Women's Royal Rumble winner Liv Morgan faces the formidable Stephanie Vaquer.
Vaquer has chastised Morgan, claiming she’s been handed everything in her career, but Morgan has proven time and again she can thrive under pressure.
While Vaquer has been a dominant force globally, we’re tipping the emotional momentum of Morgan to secure a major title change under the bright lights of Vegas.
Betting Tip: Liv Morgan.
Rhea Ripley vs Jade Cargill - WWE Women’s Championship Prediction
Monday, April 20, 9:00am AEST - Allegiant Stadium
"Mami" Rhea Ripley remains the alpha of the pack after her ruthless performance in the Elimination Chamber. Mami has firmly established herself as WWE's most formidable force, capturing multiple championships with a ruthless streak that connects deeply with the audience.
However, Jade Cargill is a bona fide star in her own right, possessing a level of power rarely seen in the division.
While Cargill is an incredible force, Ripley’s history of championship dominance and ability to bulldoze her competitors should see her take this one out in fantastic fashion on Netflix.
Betting Tip: Rhea Ripley.
Roman Reigns vs CM Punk - World Heavyweight Championship Prediction
Monday, April 20, 11:30am AEST - Allegiant Stadium
This one’s personal as WWE superstar CM Punk faces Roman Reigns on Monday in Las Vegas.
The 2026 Men's Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns challenges the "Second City Saint" CM Punk for his gold. Reigns has chosen the hard path to face Punk, citing a deep-seated hatred stemming back to 2014.
While Punk will have the confidence of a veteran, Roman is a man mountain who has defined the modern era of WWE. Given the high stakes and the legacy of the Anoa'i family being brought into the feud, expect total chaos as the Tribal Chief looks to reclaim his spot at the head of the table.
We’ve got Roman Reigns in this one.
Betting Tip: Roman Reigns.
Oba Femi vs Brock Lesnar Prediction
Monday, April 20, 9:00am AEST - Allegiant Stadium
The "Beast Incarnate,” is one of the most famous wrestlers to ever do it, Brock Lesnar returns to WrestleMania.
But it won’t be a walk in the park for the legend, as he comes against the gigantic rookie sensation Oba Femi. Femi shocked the world when he called out Lesnar on Raw, challenging the veteran in one of the more frightening clips in recent years.
While Femi has the size and raw power to match it with big Brock, he’ll have his work cut out for him against the former WWE and UFC Heavyweight champion.
Expect a brutal battle, where Femi gets put in his place by arguably the GOAT of WWE heavyweights.
Betting Tip: Brock Lesnar.
