Report: Planned Direction For WWE Title Match At WrestleMania 42

A new report has shed some light on the planned direction for the WWE Title match at WrestleMania 42.

According to PWInsider Elite, the current direction is for Randy Orton to challenge Cody Rhodes for the title at the Showcase of the Immortals.

Drew McIntyre is the current WWE Champion, while Randy Orton won the men's Elimination Chamber match to bag his 'Mania title shot.

However, The Scottish Warrior is due to defend the title against The American Nightmare on this coming Friday's episode of SmackDown. PWInsider's report suggests that Cody will likely win the match and then defend the title against Orton.

Citing a WWE source, the report noted that Drew dropping the title is not a reflection on his current work, but the company wants to give fans Cody versus Randy this year.

As far as where that leaves McIntyre, he may end up wrestling Jacob Fatu at WrestleMania. There is also the possibility that WWE pivot and add him to back into the title match, making it a triple threat.

There is an outside chance that Drew squares off with SmackDown General Manager Adam Pearce at WrestleMania.
