WrestleMania 42 card revealed as main events and major matches are set

Video Linda McMahon: Ending the Dept. of Ed. & The WWE Legacy | Planet Tyrus Secretary Linda McMahon joins Tyrus to discuss her historic mission to "fire herself" and return education power to the states. In this sit-down on Planet Tyrus, the Secretary of Education breaks down the strategic merger of federal programs into other agencies to eliminate government waste and bureaucracy. From the $1.7 trillion student loan crisis to the "History Rocks!" tour, Linda reveals how the administration is prioritizing literacy, school choice, and trade schools over partisan politics. Plus, Tyrus and Linda take a trip down memory lane to their WWE days, discussing the "Attitude Era," the "Be A Star" program, and the time Linda took a Stone Cold Stunner.

The WrestleMania 42 card was announced on Tuesday with only a few days left before the two-night spectacle takes place in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium.

Three major matches have already stood out to WWE fans as the buildup for them has taken weeks. Cody Rhodes will defend the Undisputed WWE Championship against Elimination Chamber winner Randy Orton, CM Punk will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns and two behemoths – Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi – will collide in what is expected to be an epic bout between two titans.

There will also be some celebrity involvement. Pat McAfee, to the consternation of fans, aligned himself with Orton and will likely be featured in the title match in some way. Popular stream IShowSpeed is also involved in a six-man tag team match with Logan Paul and Austin Theory as they take on Jey and Jimmy Uso and LA Knight.

WWE broadcaster Joe Tessitore announced the full card on "Get Up."
