Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton's WrestleMania 42 contract signing
Last week on SmackDown, Cody Rhodes defeated Drew McIntyre in dramatic fashion to capture the Undisputed
WWE Championship for the third time. With the victory, he will now face his former mentor, Randy Orton, who won the 2026 Men's Elimination Chamber match, at WrestleMania 42. The duo will meet in the ring to sign the contract for their title match, and it is expected to be a must-see segment considering the history between both superstars.
Jelly Roll will make an appearance
Jelly Roll was a part of the WWE television programming on the road to SummerSlam last year. He even wrestled a match at the show and is now set to return to WWE with an appearance on SmackDown this week. The Miz took to his social media to reveal that Jelly Roll will be the guest on his in-ring talk show, MizTV, which will be an exciting segment to watch out for.
Jade Cargill vs Michin
Jade Cargill has had Michin luring in her shadows for a long time, most recently last week in a backstage encounter. The Storm will square off against her in a non-title singles match. At the same time, it can be expected that her WrestleMania 42 opponent, Rhea Ripley, will make her presence felt during or after the match.
