A top WWE star has spoken about this year’s WrestleMania 42 event, believing it could be the best ever ‘bell to bell’.

With WrestleMania 42 now just under 40 days away, we have seen a number of matches be confirmed for the show, including both main events.

One of those main events will see Cody Rhodes defend his newly won Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton following Orton’s victory inside the Elimination Chamber.

Speaking to Complex’s Graps the Podcast, Cody hyped up the upcoming show, noting it could be ‘bell to bell’ one of the best WrestleMania’s of all time.

He said:

“I said something that I don’t love how it came out; what I said was we’re sitting on a ‘sleeper Mania’. I said this like a month ago.

“What I meant is, a 10 year Mania like 40, you always feel the sense of ‘destiny’, there’s something about that 10 year moment. This year, the matches, we had our main event with CM Punk and Roman Reigns, and now we just got to myself vs. Randy Orton as the other main event at WrestleMania.

“The other matches that are coming together; Stephanie and Liv, what it clearly looks like Jacob might be doing, you mentioned earlier Sami, I think you’re looking at a bell to bell Mania, the best it’s been.

“Bell to bell. Wrestling. The type of stuff I grew up on, wrestling, bell to bell, and the people who come for the grandeur, the spectacle that is WrestleMania, that’s all there too. I think I saw some names on a sheet of potential guests that’s really, really exciting for a WrestleMania.

“But bell to bell, I think they’re gonna get one of the better Manias, if not the best Mania of all time.”
