WrestleMania 42 Predictions

WrestleMania 42 is almost here, and our group chat energy finally made it to the mic. We’re three friends (a lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent) who rarely agree, so a full WrestleMania predictions rundown turns into the perfect mix of confident picks, mild outrage, and the kind of logic only WWE fans understand.

We go match by match through Night One and Night Two, calling winners and explaining the “why” behind each prediction. Expect talk about unsanctioned chaos, how outside interference changes everything, why celebrity appearances tend to tilt results, and what it means when a champion has momentum but the storyline demands a switch. We hit the big names and the big stakes: Cody Rhodes vs Randy Orton, CM Punk vs Roman Reigns, Gunther vs Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch vs AJ Lee, Rhea Ripley, Brock Lesnar vs Oba Femi, plus ladder match mayhem where a clean finish feels impossible.

Then we do what we always do: swerve into the fun stuff that makes wrestling culture feel like home. There’s a Canadian candy bar taste test, a quick look at how packed local sports fields get, and a deep nostalgia run through classic pro wrestling moments, from legendary entrances to brutal old school match types. If you’re searching for WrestleMania 42 predictions, WWE match card analysis, and the kind of fan conversation you’d have on the couch before the show starts, you’re in the right place.

Listen now, share this with the friend who always “knows the booking,” and leave a review with your boldest WrestleMania 42 pick: which match are we about to get completely wrong?

Three Friends Set The Stage

SPEAKER_02 0:03

Three guys around the table. And by three guys, we're talking about three friends: a lawyer, an engineer, and a school superintendent.

SPEAKER_03 0:12

And just like our personalities, our opinions vary, and we certainly don't always agree. Whether we're discussing the best of or giving our tips and tricks of things in everyday life, you're sure to learn something if you stick around.

SPEAKER_04 0:24

As we sit here, we are now about 48 hours from the start of WrestleMania. Yeah. Chris, you seem excited.

SPEAKER_03 0:35

Was that a question? Yes. Oh, yes. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 0:38

For two days of WrestleMania coming up.

SPEAKER_03 0:41

I am I'm ecstatic.

SPEAKER_04 0:43

We're fired up.

SPEAKER_02 0:44

Do you know how awesome WrestleMania 3 was? Oh, yes. Uh remember it like it was yesterday. Wasn't that uh Hulk versus uh Andre the Giants? Yes, and that wasn't even the best match that night.

SPEAKER_04 0:55

No, Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat, and Macho Mancho Man was fantastic match.

SPEAKER_03 0:59

So in WrestleMania this year, is it um Stone Cold versus The Rock? Almost Stone Cold and The Rock both are rumored to potentially. Probably not. I'm gonna say no on that one.

SPEAKER_04 1:17

Yeah, I'm gonna go with no on that. But we got WrestleMania coming up, and we wanted to get on and do a uh so it's WrestleMania 42. Yep. Wanted to get on and do a quick uh prediction. So as we sit here, it's Thursday, April 16th. Yep. And so we're gonna do predictions for the matches that are happening this weekend.

SPEAKER_03 1:38

Just for the record, before we start, I want to check the volume because some whiny bud out there who shall remain nameless.

SPEAKER_04 1:45

I know who it is.

SPEAKER_03 1:47

One of our devoted listeners.

SPEAKER_04 1:49

Yeah. He he's devoted to something.

unknown 1:52

He whined.

SPEAKER_03 1:53

He whined. But Greg, you're right. We were chewing the last time a little bit. Yeah, I I don't think there's anything wrong with the equipment.

WrestleMania Buzz And Old Favorites

SPEAKER_04 1:59

I was I was tasting those Kit Kats that they were going out of style. What they taste like.

SPEAKER_02 2:05

They they they had the texture of a Kit Kat. Oh, that's nice. Well, I I do want to say that um before we get into these predictions, I do want to say that we are now being heard and have been downloaded in 74 different countries and territories. We are basically the UN. Yeah. We are the Olympic committee. Our most recent countries slash location, slash territory.

SPEAKER_04 2:32

It almost was crazy. Don't be that way.

SPEAKER_02 2:37

Skikta, Skikta. I'm not sure how to say that one. That's a good thing. Alexandria, Alexandria, which I believe is uh Egypt. Uh Phenom pen. Phenom pen. That guy's an act. It's a phenomenal pen. Barawalla Punjab.

SPEAKER_03 2:52

Yeah. Punjab Punjab. That must have been when you were over there. It could, you know what? I was passing out cards. You know. I was passing out hundred dollar bills and it kills and it thrills.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

Well, we appreciate all of our listeners worldwide. So let's now talk about a worldwide event. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

Come out. All those countries could could have tuned in because of your wonderful pronunciation of some of the names of the Kit Kats our last.

SPEAKER_02 3:20

100%. It's true. 100%. I the only the only way they could have been done any better was if one of our famous guests from the past showed.

Night One Match Predictions

SPEAKER_04 3:32

I'm sure one of them is going to show up during this rest of the episode. It's possible. So first match. First match, first match. Let's go. Jacob Fau Tu versus Drew McIntyre in an unsanctioned manner.

SPEAKER_02 3:44

I love the fact that Drew McIntyre. I love the fact that it is unsanctioned.

SPEAKER_04 3:48

What does this mean? That means WWE saying we're having nothing to do with it.

SPEAKER_03 3:53

So that means it's like no holds bark. Letter match. Yeah, whatever. So you say you say Drew.

SPEAKER_04 3:58

I say Drew McIntyre. I am going with Jacob Fatou. I also am going with Jacob Fatou. For the reason. I have a reason why I'm going with him. Yep. Drew McIntyre is starting to film a movie right after WrestleMania. There can be only one. So I I think Jacob Fatou wins. I think they say Drew McIntyre's hurt because of the unsanctioned portion of the match.

SPEAKER_02 4:20

I agree. And Chris reference movie, There Can Be Only One. Oh, Highlander. They're doing the Highlander remake. Oh, with him? And he's awesome. But who's going to play Sean Connery? I think Javier Bardell. Cody Rhodes. Sean Connery. Greetings. Playing a Spaniard with a Scottish accent. Sean Connery. Baby. Love it.

SPEAKER_03 4:42

You know the my favorite line from Highlander.

SPEAKER_02 4:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:46

It's better to burn out than fade away.

SPEAKER_02 4:49

Never watch it. I think my favorite line is. Just prior to that, when he when the nuns walk by and he goes, Happy Halloween, ladies. Never watched it. Don't know anything about it. No. You know who did the soundtrack? The whole soundtrack. Queen. It was fantastic. Great movie. It's a great. And there's wrestling in the beginning of it. And by the way. The very first scene is the fabulous Freebirds versus Greg Gagner and Jumpin' Jim Brunzel. Yep. Christopher, what's his last name? I played. And Samuel, I think, was the other one. Christopher Lambert. Lambert, that's a French actor. Great movie. All right, back into it.

SPEAKER_04 5:26

Next match. Yep. Six-man take. All right, here we go. The vision versus Logan Paul and Austin Theory and I Show Speed versus the Yeet Man, his brother, and LA Knight. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:43

Yeet Man and LA Knight. I got to go LA Knight there. Not a huge fan of the Usos, obviously, but LA Knights gotta have a win over, you know. Logan Paul's gotta lose because he's I think iShow Speed can't get a win. Sorry.

SPEAKER_03 5:58

I don't even know who iShow Speed is. He's the one that got speared in the Royal Rumble last year by Braun Breaker.

SPEAKER_04 6:03

Is he the Asian wrestler? No, he he's not a wrestler. He's on YouTube. Yeah, he's a YouTuber. Oh. And that's the reason why I think the vision and him win.

SPEAKER_02 6:12

Okay. I'm down.

SPEAKER_04 6:13

The last time they brought a celebrity in was Jelly Roll. They took the L. Celebrities usually get the win. Yep. Even Pete Rose. Pete Rose didn't get the win. And he bet on it, though. What's the problem? Oh, but buddy. That was quick. But he denied it. Uh I think that um I think they have the vision in I Show Speed.

SPEAKER_02 6:35

I think it's I think that's fair.

SPEAKER_04 6:36

I'm going with the only downside that the only way I would go against what I predicted is I show speed is cursed by Dan Housen.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

That's the that's the and Dan Housen may make an appearance in this match that would be fantastic. I could totally see that. So I'm going LA Knight and the Usos. All right.

SPEAKER_04 6:54

All right. Your boy, the Ring General.

SPEAKER_02 6:57

Ring General versus Seth Rollins. Gunther.

SPEAKER_04 7:00

Also known as Seth freaking Rollins.

SPEAKER_02 7:03

As I point to Gunther's uh action figure up on my Absolutely. Yes. Uh, you know I'm going with the Ring General here, and it's going to be due to outside interference on the part of Braun Breaker. Braun Breaker's coming back.

SPEAKER_04 7:18

That's what that's 100% what I expect.

SPEAKER_02 7:19

Yep. Chris?

SPEAKER_04 7:21

I concur.

SPEAKER_02 7:22

Yeah. I a hundred percent expect that to occur. Yep. Now, I I saw a TikTok earlier today that's that was some guy was doing if wrestling if these wrestling matches were real fights and he was going through them, who would win in that fight between Seth Rollins and Gunther? And the guy was like, oh, Seth Rollins would kill him. I'm gonna beg to differ. I think Gunther would would destroy Seth Rollins.

SPEAKER_04 7:45

So I don't see that. Alright. Anyway, let's move on. Alright, Chris, here's yours. All right. This match is for you. You're gonna love this one. The four fatal four way women's tag team championship match. Okay. You've got Naya Jax and Lash Legend. Those are two of your favorites. They're the champions. I've never heard of them. They're the champions. Against the Bella Twins. Yeah. Big fans. Uh-huh. Against Alexa Bliss. Big fan. And Charlotte Flair. Yeah. And Lyra and Bailey. I like them.

SPEAKER_03 8:22

Who are you going with? I'm going to go with. Oh, you didn't say what's the name? What's the British girl, the Irish, um the goth-looking girl? She's not in this match.

SPEAKER_04 8:34

It's not this match. Oh. This is tag team. Charlotte Flair and that girl. And Alexa Bliss. Yeah. The former champions to regain the title. Yes. I am not going that direction.

SPEAKER_02 8:44

I'm going to say that it's going to be Naya and Lash Legend retaining the titles. I've gone back and forth.

SPEAKER_04 8:50

I can totally see that.

SPEAKER_02 8:51

I've gone back and forth on this. I just, with all the other match predictions I'm going to make, I can't have the title change here.

SPEAKER_04 8:57

I'm having it change.

SPEAKER_02 8:58

Okay. I'm going with Bailey and Lyra. And that's what I would like to see happen. I would like to see that happen. I think that'd be good. I think that'd be good for both of them.

SPEAKER_04 9:09

Yeah. You will enjoy parts of that match. Yes, you will. Oh. There's parts of it you will enjoy. No elbow. That's that's another match. That's coming. You will enjoy the Bella Twins. Uh-huh. And you'll enjoy Alexa Bliss. And you're a Nia Jax. He loves Nia Jax. He does. I've never even heard of Nia Jax. She is the African American version of Freya the Slave. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 9:41

She's a teacher. Well, she's actually, I think, Samoan also. She could be. I think she's part of the rock family. I think so. Yeah. My Via. Yeah. She has lost a ton of weight lately, though. Yeah. She needed to. She'd gotten really, really heavy. She was thick. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 9:57

All right. Next. All right. Now, this one, I think I know you and I are going to agree on this one. Women's Intercontinental Title Match. Oh, yeah. AJ Lee, CM Punk's wife. And the champion. And the champion. Versus Becky Lynch, Seth Freakin' Rollins' wife. The man. I agree. I think the man wins.

SPEAKER_02 10:16

Absolutely. Becky Lynch. Becky Lynch has to take the title match. She has to. There's no way they can keep that on AJ Lee.

SPEAKER_04 10:21

Alright. This is a match you will also enjoy. The women's heavyweight title match. Stephanie.

SPEAKER_03 10:29

McMahon? Oh.

SPEAKER_04 10:33

Versus the La Primera, by the way. She's the one who does the devil's kiss.

SPEAKER_03 10:37

Oh, yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 10:38

Versus Liv Morgan. Yep. So this is this is a tough one to call. This one's a hard one to call. Yep. Yep. Liv Morgan's got a bunch of momentum going, but last year nobody in wrestling was bigger than Stephanie. Yep. And she's she's had the title a while, but is it long enough for her to take for her to lose it?

SPEAKER_02 11:04

I'm going to say no. I'm going to say no as well. Stephanie Vacare retains, I think that the uh the little uh group that the judgment day the judgment day is going to break up. And it's gonna happen. I think it's gonna happen. It's gonna cost live.

SPEAKER_03 11:20

She's the one that was dating the uh Jets player.

SPEAKER_04 11:23

That's one of the Bella twins.

SPEAKER_03 11:24

Oh, I didn't know that. Okay. Yeah.

unknown 11:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:26

Yep. Okay. And then the last match, I think we're at the last match. Yes, we're at the last match of night one. And this is for the undisputed championship. Cody Rhodes versus Randy Orton. That's two different dudes, man. I think we have 15 times. Yeah, I think so too.

SPEAKER_02 11:45

I think Randy Orton takes the time. I think Randy Orton takes away the time. Who has it right now? Cody Rhodes.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

I think Randy Orton takes it.

SPEAKER_02 11:50

And and also Randy Orton in his corner. He's old. He's gonna have pet Magaphy. Yep. But you know that you say Magafee. That's what they that's what uh CM Punk called him, Magaphy. You know that jelly is gonna come out and cause a disruption.

SPEAKER_03 12:06

That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

SPEAKER_04 12:08

Well, here's the reason why I think Randy Orton wins. Yep. So they're setting this up for a match between Randy Orton and Pat McAfee versus Jelly Row and Cody Rhodes. Yes, they're I mean they're setting that up. Yep. And Pat McAfee said, if Randy Orton wins, I'm leaving wrestling forever or loses, I'm leaving wrestling forever. That's exactly correct. You know what I mean? Right. I mean, Randy Orton has to win at that point.

SPEAKER_02 12:33

Yep.

SPEAKER_04 12:34

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 12:34

So and by the way, Pat McAfee, I know McAfee. Pat McAfee on the uh has been getting a lot of heat from a lot of fans that aren't happy about the the way he's been inserted in this. I'll tell you what, he's been so good on those promos.

SPEAKER_04 12:49

He's been great. I mean, come on. I'm totally for going back to the attitude era, which is basically what he wants. Yes, that's what he's been advocating. Yeah, it needed a little juice.

SPEAKER_03 13:00

We need to bring China back.

SPEAKER_04 13:01

Now, go on. Oh, wait. Where's yeah? Do I have them? Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_02 13:08

Oh, well, that's not them.

Night Two Picks And Hot Takes

SPEAKER_04 13:09

That's them. That's them. Moving on to night two. Night two, the first match is going to be live on ESPN. Oh. You don't even have to have the app for this. Okay. And it's arguably the best match of the whole WrestleMania.

SPEAKER_02 13:27

I don't think you can argue it. I think it's 100% the best match. Oba Femi, the ruler. No idea.

SPEAKER_03 13:34

Newer guy versus Brock Lesnar. Oh, wait a minute. He's that jack, dude. Oh my god. He came over from NXT or something, right? Yes. Yeah. Jack. He's huge. Randy Orton. I want to see Randy Orton win, Sweat. I can't say. Oh, who'd you say?

SPEAKER_04 13:51

Brock Lesnar.

SPEAKER_03 13:52

Or Brock Lesnar. I want Brock Lesnar to win.

SPEAKER_04 13:56

I think Brock Lesnar has to win.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

I think that it could be a double count out. It could be a double disqualification.

SPEAKER_04 14:06

You and I have talked about this. I mean, you can't really have any of them lose right now. No, I think that uh Lesnar's clearly not going to lose. He's going to lose this final match and that's it.

SPEAKER_02 14:15

Brock Lesnar will not lose. That will be my prediction. Right.

SPEAKER_04 14:18

Yeah, I agree with that.

SPEAKER_02 14:19

I don't know if they're going to have Obafemi take a clean loss. Obviously, I don't think that will happen. They can do that. But maybe with some kind of crazy outside interference or something like that, you know.

SPEAKER_04 14:32

Yeah, I agree. I mean, I don't expect a clean loss from either one of them in that bad.

SPEAKER_02 14:36

Obafemi the other night on the mic was incredible. Yeah, he was good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:41

Got a weird, he's got a little accent to him.

SPEAKER_02 14:43

But Randy Orton right now, I'm not Randy Orton, I'm doing something you're dad. Um Brock Lesnar. Brock Lesnar has the best t-shirt in WWE right now. What's it say?

SPEAKER_04 14:54

F-A-F-5. Yeah, his finishing moves F five. And so one of the promos a couple weeks ago, Paul Heyman came out and said F A like and Oh.

SPEAKER_03 15:07

F around and five.

SPEAKER_04 15:08

F-A-F-O. That's pretty good. He said F-A-F five. That's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_02 15:13

F around and F-5.

SPEAKER_04 15:13

Yeah, it's a great, it's a great shirt. It's great.

SPEAKER_03 15:15

I I want that shirt. That's great. I just got a text I want to cut in real quick. Very good friend of mine. Philip. Just had his lip cut off. Now he's just Phil.

SPEAKER_02 15:28

Oh boy. Wait, where are those crickets? Awkward.

SPEAKER_04 15:33

Not that I'm awkward. You're awkward. Wait, what? Yeah. The next match I could care less about. Yep. You couldn't care less? I could not. I I I may, I mean, this may be like when I get food or something. Oh.

SPEAKER_03 15:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 15:47

The inner the Intercontinental Championship match. Yeah. Pinta versus Javon Evans versus Dragon Lee versus JD McDuta versus Rusev versus Rey Mysterio in a ladder match.

SPEAKER_03 15:58

Okay, for number one. I mean, we all know you love Pinta. Who cares?

SPEAKER_04 16:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

But you love Pinta now.

SPEAKER_04 16:05

Huge fan of Pinta. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:08

Are these all the masked Marauders?

SPEAKER_04 16:11

Well, yeah, Ray Mysterio.

SPEAKER_02 16:13

And Dragon Lee, who cares? The fact that the El Grande Americanos are not in this match, I'm disappointed.

SPEAKER_04 16:18

I will tell you who's not going to win. Yep. Rusev's not going to win because he cleaned house on Monday night with all these people. Yep. I think Penta probably retains.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Penta retains. I'm not happy about it.

SPEAKER_03 16:31

He's a pretty good wrestler, though.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_04 16:33

Javon Evans might win.

SPEAKER_02 16:35

Yeah. I just, he's so, he's so young.

SPEAKER_04 16:38

And he's so thin.

SPEAKER_02 16:39

Yeah. I can't see him being the Intercontinental Champion yet. I've never heard of him.

SPEAKER_04 16:43

All right. Here's a match you know somebody in. All right. Women's Championship. All right. Jade Cargill versus Rhea Ripley.

SPEAKER_03 16:51

Rhea Ripley. Hands down, Rhea Ripley.

SPEAKER_02 16:54

I think Rhea Ripley as well.

SPEAKER_04 16:56

I think Rhea Ripley as well. Um but Jade's not had the title that long.

SPEAKER_02 17:03

No, she hasn't. She's Jack. Yeah, and she's caused a lot of backstage heat from what everyone is saying. And so they may just joint the title off of her as I've never heard of her. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:15

She has to want the long hair that we have people, is she?

SPEAKER_02 17:20

She's got she almost looks like Storm from the X-Men. Yeah, right, right.

SPEAKER_04 17:25

She's yeah, African American got the black yellow outfit. Uh no, no, no. That was that was um Naomi last year. Yeah, who's pregnant and who's pregnant?

SPEAKER_03 17:34

SPEAKER_02 17:36

That's Bailey. That's uh uh uh no, it's uh um oh she could be coming back. She's had a finger injury. Oh uh not a finger in the movie. Uh oh, Greg, why are we struggling?

SPEAKER_04 17:52

I don't know, but she whipped Liv Morgan in the in an elimination chamber and laid a huge whelp on her. Yeah, yeah. Uh um Beyonce Bianca Belair. Yeah, that's it.

SPEAKER_02 18:01

Golly, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:02

She named the movie. Not a finger.

SPEAKER_02 18:04

Nope. Christmas story. Wearing Christmas story is not a finger.

SPEAKER_04 18:12

What's it here? I have watched the Christmas story, though. Me too. Next match. Yep. Chris, another one I could care less about. Okay. The United States Championship. Sammy Zane versus whoop that trick. Trick Williams. I think so. I don't know who that is. He's a newer guy.

SPEAKER_02 18:30

See, Sammy Zayn.

SPEAKER_04 18:32

He's got he's got some he's got he's pretty good.

SPEAKER_02 18:34

Everyone has turned on Sammy Zayn, and he thinks he's a hero, and they're treating him like a heel. I hate that guy. Yeah. And Trick Williams is trying to be a heel. Oh. Oh, I that's just like uh when he's like cussing, but it's not like right after the lamp is broken. Yes, right. Okay, I got you. Um and Trick Williams is a heel, but everyone loves him. Everybody loves him. I think Trick Williams is.

SPEAKER_04 19:03

He comes out going to whoop that trick. Whoop that trick. And the funniest thing with that guy is when they were in um Elimination Chamber and Randy Orton goes up to him and he goes, You're not 6'5. That's pretty funny. Uh, the next match. Yep. Finn Balor versus Dirty Dominic Mysterio. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:26

I don't like Dirty Dom, and I never heard of the Dir Dom.

SPEAKER_04 19:28

I love Dirty Dom, by the way. Look, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:31

So Finn Balor is bringing back the demon character. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 19:34

And he was a demon. He's gonna win.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

I say the demon the demon can't take a loss. I agree.

SPEAKER_03 19:40

I don't remember the demon. It's big fears, though.

SPEAKER_02 19:44

Yeah. Uh truly looks like.

SPEAKER_03 19:47

Was that the guy that came out in the mask with all the no, no, no, no. That was um that dude's dead. Umala. No, it was Bray Wyatt. Yeah, he's dead. Oh, yeah.

And then the last match of the night. CM Punk versus Roman Reigns. Here we go. For the heavyweight championship.

SPEAKER_02 20:10

CM Punk is defending the title. He's at it now for a minute. Roman Reigns.

SPEAKER_04 20:15

I'm going CM Punk. I'm going Roman Reigns. I just don't see they can have CM Punk lose two times in a row. Acknowledge me. I'm down. I mean, he's the I've told you, he's the needle. Yep.

SPEAKER_03 20:26

And you said he's clean, he's clearing that, right?

SPEAKER_04 20:29
