WWE WrestleMania 42 will be headlined by CM Punk's defence of the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania Sunday on April 19, and the likely winner of the match has been revealed.
A source with knowledge of the situation has indicated to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select the current favourite within WWE creative is for Roman Reigns to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Those familiar with WWE's future plans also consider Reigns winning on Sunday to be the most likely outcome of the WrestleMania 42 main event.
Should Reigns win, it would make him a seven-time world champion in WWE and see the 40-year-old hold a title for the first time since he dropped the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania XL. It would also end CM Punk's second reign with the current version of the World Heavyweight Championship after 169 days.
While plans can change right up until when the matches take place, another favourite within WWE creative for WrestleMania 42 title matches is Trick Williams to win the United States Championship from Sami Zayn, and Penta is considered likely to retain the Intercontinental Championship in the Ladder Match on night two which features Je'Von Evans, Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, Rusev, and JD McDonagh as challengers.
