Wrestling Review : WWE – Wrestlemania 42 Night One

WWE

Wrestlemania 42

Night One

Six Man Tag Team Match
LA Knight & The Usos (Jey Uso & Jimmy Uso) vs. IShowSpeed & The Vision (Austin Theory & Logan Paul)

Kicking this show, technically pre show, off with a celebrity match and making it last 7 minutes is a choice. Logan Paul gets pre show, Usos get pre show, Theory and Knight, and it just feels so odd. This was a nothing burger of a match. 

2 / 5

Unsanctioned Match
Drew McIntyre vs. Jacob Fatu

Fatu gets a major win here and this match type worked perfectly. Drew looked like a massive beast that needed that extra boost to get taken down. 

3.5 / 5

WWE Women’s Tag Team Title Fatal Four Way Match
The Irresistible Forces (Lash Legend & Nia Jax) (c) vs. Brie Bella & Paige (w/Nikki Bella)

vs. Bayley & Lyra Valkyria vs. Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair

Well we get a returning to WWE Paige who fills in for a Bella. This was just all over the place. Everyone seemingly just running around to try to make it to the next planned spot. Paige at least seems to not have much ring rust but no reason to give her and a Bella the belt. 

2 / 5

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Title Match
AJ Lee (c) vs. Becky Lynch

This felt like a lackluster Raw main event. These two don’t mesh well in ring and AJ still isn’t exactly on par with women of the era in ring and it shows. 

2 / 5

Singles Match
Seth Rollins vs. Gunther

As expected this was good. Once it got moving it was really good and could have went either way. 

4 / 5

WWE Women’s World Title Match
Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Liv Morgan

Liv gets the belt once again making me believe the women division really will only be Rhea and Liv ran for years. This was also only just over 6 minutes long so clearly WWE doesn’t care about the women belt getting its due during Wrestlemania. 

2 / 5

Undisputed WWE Title Match
Cody Rhodes (c) vs. Randy Orton

This match was all over the place. The McAfee and Jelly Roll stuff was a drag. The match itself was solid but the post match twist shows that there must really not be a plan here or they have no idea how to write either one of these guys.
