WWE WrestleMania 41 saw many top storylines conclude, and seeds sown for future stories, matches and rivalries.

As was previously announced, WrestleMania 42 will take place on April 11-12, 2026 at Caesar’s Superdome in New Orleans.

Following numerous teases, here are our early predictions for the main championship matches on the WWE WrestleMania 42 card.

8. Aleister Black vs Jacob Fatu – US Championship

With Aleister Black expected to make his WWE return on Friday’s SmackDown episode, he will likely re-establish himself as a dominant star.

This means at some point, he might cross paths with Jacob Fatu, who has quickly proven himself to be one of the most dangerous men on the SmackDown roster.

Fatu is now the US Champion after defeating LA Knight for the gold, and given his recent track record, there’s a good chance he holds it all the way up to next WrestleMania.

The phrase “the irresistible force vs immovable object” is closely associated with WrestleMania, and this match would fully embody that sentiment.
